The two largest economic powers in the world can do so much for developing countries, whether they're working in concert or they're working in parallel, even in competition, but all reaching out to help global economic growth. I also think global peace, if the two countries can work together as happened during the Obama years on some of these issues, on the Korean Peninsula, in Iran, maybe even in the Middle East, Syria and beyond could help build the relationship. Focusing on common interests, instead of on what divides the two nations is vital.
