"If we do this right..., the rain will disappear, the sun will come out, and something beautiful will grow."Li Chenggang, China's assistant commerce minister, said at the forum that the Chicago delegation's visit displayed support for free trade and opposition to protectionism. "Under the current situation, the visit showed US local governments and industries are confident in the future of China-US economic and trade cooperation."
