The world has massive problems, and it's incumbent to call upon the United States and China to cooperate and to address pressing global needs, said Mario Cavolo, an American writer living in China and non-resident senior fellow at the Center for China and Globalization in a recent interview with China Daily.

As an American who has lived in China for 25 years, Cavolo said he is deeply impressed by China’s achievements over the years.

Cavolo said he believes that a peaceful and friendly diplomatic approach can help China and the US move forward together, ensuring a more prosperous global future.
