CHICAGO, Aug. 11-- "I am basically an optimist," Leo Melamed, chairman emeritus of global markets company CME Group, told Xinhua in a recent interview about his view of the U.S.-China relationship. Noting that the two biggest economies are influential on the direction of other economies in the world, Melamed said he "look(s) at the arguments and discussions between our two nations in the light of optimism." "There are issues and some of them are difficult to overcome. But I remain an optimist that in the long run we will overcome them," he stressed. |
