With the recent death of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, people believe that Sino-US relations are also gradually moving away. Because Kissinger was a historical milestone who broke the icy deadlock between China and the United States of that era. However, in recent years, the unfriendly voice of the United States has begun to make noise, and a new embarrassing situation has begun to emerge in Sino-US relations. Kissinger's death is inevitable in his life, but Sino-US relations are not. At least today, a new pro-China American figure has reappeared in front of everyone's eyes. He is Gay Newsom, the governor of California in the United States.
I don't know if you have noticed the news lately: the city of San Francisco in the United States has changed dramatically overnight, and the streets full of homeless people and addicts, as well as the dirty streets and potential criminal dangerous, have disappeared. Then the recent news is that Biden praised California Governor Newsom for doing a good job. Newsom's statement on ** is very direct: I renovated the cityscape of San Francisco in order to welcome the leaders of major countries to hold an APEC meeting. At that time, many people discussed this matter, and they thought that Governor Newsom's move was to "learn" from the big eastern countries. It's a joke, but the governor has indeed visited Beijing before.
Newsom is 56 years old and was born in San Francisco. His father was a lawyer and later a court judge, and his mother later divorced when he was 5 years old. Newsom's family is not very wealthy, he also has a younger sister, and his mother has worked several jobs to raise children on her own. No one knew that the governor had a severe dyslexia, so he studied hard. However, he did well in sports, and he completed Santa Clara University on a sports scholarship, but unfortunately quit baseball with an arm injury. Don't underestimate his humble birth, but Newsom's family has always been related to those dignitaries. He and former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are in-laws; His ex-wife is a cadre in Trump's camp, and now he is Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, and his current wife is a Hollywood director.
Newsom's California is a major economy in the world. California's GDP is 3$12 trillion, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Stanford University are all in California. He is a Democrat with a high reputation in the party and **, and he is also a shining star.
In terms of his attitude towards China, Governor Newsom made a very clear statement: during his visit to Beijing, he made a high-profile declaration that he was opposed to a zero-sum game. He believes that the more successful China is, the better it will be for the world. Newsom believes that in this day and age, everyone must improve themselves in competition, but the zero-sum game between China and the United States is a very dangerous view.
Newsom's pro-China attitude is not surprising at all. Because the city of San Francisco, where he was born, became a sister city with Shanghai when he was 13 years old, writing a good start for the beginning of Sino-American friendship. When Newsom was mayor of San Francisco, he and Senator Feinstein made a commemorative visit to Shanghai to commemorate their 25th anniversary.
Newsom was a wise politician who behaved smart from the start. After graduating from university, he received his bachelor's degree, and three years later he met a man named Gaidi. This is a nobleman, and his father is an oil tycoon. Guy helped Newsom open a San Francisco liquor store, and later expanded his voice to bars, pubs, and restaurants, and Newsom became a millionaire.
Two more years later, a man named Willy Brown ran for mayor. Newsom assisted him in his successful campaign, and Brown later appointed Newsom to the Municipal Board of Overseers. Newsom has been successful in some areas of governance, such as addressing the fate of the homeless: he has cut back on cash to help them with housing. Newsom continued to work in politics until he became San Francisco's deputy mayor, where he governed the city as a moderate. A year before the outbreak of the pneumonia epidemic, he happened to be the governor of California, and in order to show his determination, Newsom resolutely sold his mansion in San Francisco and moved to Sacramento, the capital of California. Later, because of the intensification of the pneumonia epidemic, Newsom was under a lot of pressure. But for the sake of public health and long-term interests, he issued a strict stay-at-home order, even if his winery business would be affected by the closure of bars and various nightclubs. California's governor is not so easy to do: in addition to the pneumonia epidemic, the state's wildfires and drought disasters are also plaguing him. After being re-elected governor last year, Newsom was hit by another major flood.
These natural and man-made disasters have given Newsom a major test, and they have also given him a lot of experience in governance. For example, he has strengthened climate governance in California and promoted clean energy, such as the massive use of electric vehicles. At the same time, it announced that it would phase out the sale of gasoline cars by 2035, because the state can no longer tolerate wildfires and childhood asthma attacks.
Newsom believes that China is very important to California's development. Historically, the Chinese have played a major role in the construction of California. In order to further strengthen the relationship between the local Chinese and Chinese, the governor simply signed a bill to make the Lunar New Year a local legal holiday. China is California's largest partner and the place where Chinese Americans gather the most. Newsom was well aware of China's influence, so when he was mayor of San Francisco, he opened a San Francisco office in China. He has also made many special visits to China, not only Newsom, but also former California Governor Schwarzenegger. California has taken a fancy to China's high-speed rail system and originally planned to cooperate to build a more than 800-kilometer railway in California. However, because of the great resistance and the high cost, the construction of high-speed rail in California has been at a standstill, and Newsom has been very pragmatic after taking office, and the high-speed rail plan has been changed to a 190-kilometer length first.
Due to concerns about climate change and environmental concerns, Governor Newsom came to China to seek cooperation on projects such as electric vehicles and wind power.
In Beijing, our chief met with Governor Newsom. The chief pointed out that the hope for Sino-US friendship and cooperation lies in people-to-people exchanges, and cultural and economic cooperation should be strengthened. Newsom fully agreed with the chiefs and pledged to intensify their work on these fronts. Therefore, this international conference in San Francisco is a major event that Newsom will immediately grasp the improvement of the city's appearance as soon as he returns home.
As a result of the success of the San Francisco international conference, Biden praised Governor Newsom for his performance. He half-jokingly promised the governor: You can ask for any job, including **. It's a joke, but the public and many politicians are serious. Newsom's visit to Beijing this year strengthened his popularity within the United States, and with his hard work and performance, many see him as a potential candidate. However, Newsom himself stated that he did not plan to participate in the ** race, because this would cause competition within the Democratic Party. However, Newsom will fully assist in the Democratic campaign process, and will even engage in political debates with Republican governors in the next state, suggesting that he still has the idea of participating in the leadership of the higher ranks.
