"Americans like to buy products made in China. People can say decouple all they want, but the consumers speak a very different language everyday when they go and buy things, because we cannot live without China, and China cannot live without us. That's the reality of it."

"I am fundamentally optimistic about it, because I don't think that this type of tactic is going to be sustainable. It is not going to accomplish the political goals, that either side is thinking that it will. I think we will actually get to the negotiating table in the right manner."

The United States and China will not decouple economically, according to Matt Bevin, the governor of Kentucky, on Thursday at the fifth U.S.-China Governors Collaboration Summit held in Kentucky's city of Lexington.
The event is part of the three-day China-U.S. Governors Forum, which kicked off on Wednesday to promote sub-national exchanges and understanding.
Despite citing the current problems in their country's bilateral relations, officials from both China and the U.S. expressed optimism over the future of local-level cooperation between the two countries at the forum.
"I hope my pronunciation will be correct. Yu Gong Yi Shan. Is that close? So you think about this. Yu Gong Yi Shan, constant improvement, continuous improvement. This is what we are doing now. This is the purpose of this summit. It is for us to continue to communicate with one another," said Bevin.
Bevin said that trade with China has been a major economic growth point for Kentucky and he hopes to maintain and enhance the good relations with China.
Bevin believes that the trade dispute between the U.S. and China can be solved through strengthened communication.
"Americans like to buy products made in China. People can say decouple all they want, but the consumers speak a very different language everyday when they go and buy things, because we cannot live without China, and China cannot live without us. That's the reality of it," said Bevin.
As a host of the first China-U.S. Governors Forum, Washington State is one of the American states that enjoy particularly close trade relations with China.
The state's lieutenant governor ,Cyrus Habib, said that increasing tariffs is a short-term tactic and that he is optimistic about a mutually beneficial trade agreement being reached between the U.S. and China.
"I am fundamentally optimistic about it, because I don't think that this type of tactic is going to be sustainable. It is not going to accomplish the political goals, that either side is thinking that it will. I think we will actually get to the negotiating table in the right manner," said Habib.
The fifth China-U.S. Governors Forum features dialogues on business, culture, education and other issues, as well as a signing ceremony for a memorandum of understanding between the southwest Chinese city of Chongqing and Kentucky.
Initiated in 2011, the China-U.S. Governors Forum has become an important platform to promote exchanges and cooperation between the local governments of the two countries
