"My visit to China [in May], and your visit today in Jerusalem, showcases the determination our two governments have to strengthen our friendship and improve cooperation between us," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Wang arrived in Israel Tuesday night for a three-day visit. "Our strengths complement one another," Netanyahu said. China has massive industrial and global reach. Israel has expertise in every area of high-tech. And I think the combination could be very, very beneficial to China and of course to Israel. Especially with regards to the fields we are talking about: science and technology, water management, agriculture, green energy and health services. Likewise we want to increase cooperation between us in global transportation. I would like to talk to you about the rail road that will connect Asia and Europe, by going from the port of Eilat on the Red Sea to the Ashdod port on the Mediterranean. I believe this is important to global and Chinese commerce."
Netanyahu highlighted the two countries' shared values. "We both value education and families. We value knowledge and learning. We place importance on taking initiative and being entrepreneurial, something which both Israel and China have in great supply. I think Israel could be a perfect partner for China in research and development

(Chinese Foreign Minister Wang) Yi praised the potential of Sino-Israeli cooperation Wednesday night at a banquet in the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. "With the Jewish mind, and a Chinese engine, we will build a machine that will reach the skies," he said.

(27,137 posts)...don't forget to tell him about the billions per year in maintenance.
So many folks think that foreign model they're eying will get them where they're trying to go, only to find out later just how quirky and stubborn they can be. Like they have a mind of their own. And they'll turn on you too.
- And don't get me started on the high-maintenance.......

(53,986 posts)They did, however, write it incorrectly, I think, when they used "Yi." That would be his first name. Note all of the other comments from him he is referred to as "Wang," his last name in Chinese.

(7,321 posts)is when the header is misleading. Huffpo does this with almost all of their stories. I rarely go there anymore because of it.
