On April 20th, Vice President Xie Yuan met with Senior Vice President Timothy J. McBride of United Technologies Corporation (UTC).
Vice President Xie Yuan extended a warm welcome to Timothy J. McBride’s visit and introduced the work CPAFFC has done to promote China-U.S. people-to-people exchanges. VP Xie said CPAFFC highly emphasizes exchanges with U.S. business communities. During the past years, CPAFFC and UTC have maintained good partnership and launched several public welfare activities, which not only helped UTC’s participation in China’s economic development but contributed to a better China-U.S. relationship. China’s economic development is now on a good track. It is hoped that UTC could continue to play the role as a fine example of American enterprises in China, and actively participate in the future development of China-U.S.political and business relations.

He said that UTC developed well since entering China in the early 20th century and its commitment to China extended over all times.He spoke highly of CPAFFC’s achievements in promoting U.S.-China people-people exchanges and expressed the willingness on behalf of UTC to take part in more activities for the deepening of U.S.-China relations.
