00:00 - Hey, good morning.

00:02 - Good morning.

00:03 - See you all.

00:04 - Welcome everyone.

00:11 It is obviously just a tremendous honor for NYU Shanghai

00:15 to have the Secretary of State of the United States,

00:18 Anthony Lincoln, with us for a conversation this morning.

00:23 Our students, students from Dukunshan,

00:27 students from Hopkins and Hanjing are with us.

00:31 I'd like to offer Secretary Lincoln the opportunity

00:35 to say a few words of welcome,

00:37 and then we'll have a conversation.

00:38 Thank you.

00:39 - Thank you, Jeff, very much.

00:40 Great to be with all of you this morning.

00:42 I was really impressed with Tony's ear

00:45 and the relationship between whether you're Chinese

00:49 or whether you're American.

00:50 I think you know that this relationship

00:53 between China and the United States

00:54 is one of the most consequential,

00:57 one of the most complicated in the world.

00:59 But where the balance really comes in,

01:02 we can make sure that we are talking to each other,

01:07 hearing each other, understanding each other.

01:09 - Each of you for taking time,

01:11 I wanted to make sure being here in Shanghai,

01:14 the hub of so much economic activity

01:16 and also a real hub of connection

01:19 between the United States and China

01:21 when it comes to business, when it comes to trade.

01:23 That I had a chance to hear directly from you

01:27 who are engaged in this market,

01:30 engaged in this relationship,

01:32 because it's so extraordinarily consequential.

01:36 And one of the things that President Biden

01:40 and President Xi agreed when they met in San Francisco

01:43 is that we have to continue to find ways

01:45 to put as much stability as possible into the relationship

01:49 to make sure that we're managing the relationship responsibly,

01:52 committed to doing and a big part of that is the work that we're doing.
