Hong Kong CNN —“Divorce is not an option” when it comes to the world’s two largest economies, California Governor Gavin Newsom told CNN on Wednesday following his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Newsom said his meeting with Xi in Beijing had revived hope that the United States and China were at a turning point in their relations.
Newsom — the first US governor to meet with Xi in six years — is in China for a week-long visit to promote action on climate change.
Xi also expressed the hope that the governor’s visit to China would help stabilize the broader relationship.
If it were a country, California “would be the fifth largest economy in the world,” Newsom told CNN.
