以下为贺楚门（Mr. Truman Hunt, president and CEO of Nu Skin）的寄语：

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived today for his state visit to the United States in Seattle.  This is his second visit to the United States since he became the president of China, and his first state visit. President Xi's visit happens at a time during which China’s international environment continues to undergo profound and complex changes and the Sino/US relationship enters into a new historical stage.  Xi’s visit will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the US- China bilateral relationship as well as international and regional situations.

Americans from all walks of life have expressed great interest in and are full of expectations about the results of this visit. As a representative of the US business reception, I had the honor to listen to the speech of president Xi, and had some brief communication with him.

The United States and China are the world's two largest economies and the world’s most influential powers. The two countries currently face many common opportunities and challenges and have become more interdependent.  The ability of the United States and China to continue to develop a win-win relationship will not only impact them, but will have a profound impact on the future of the Asia Region and the world. We believe the Asian infrastructure investment bank launched by China and "The One Belt, One Road Initiative" will play an important role in the development of the global economy.  We are actively committed to strengthening the economic, trade links and cooperation between the two countries. We advocate an early agreement on Bilateral Investment Treaty.

Our company will continue to invest in China and participate in the development of Chinese society. We are willing to make efforts to promote mutual and positive understanding between the two peoples as well as to promote economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. I believe president Xi's visit will further promote the steady development of Sino/US relations, and will create a good atmosphere to further the development of the world economy. Finally, I sincerely wish President Xi's visit a complete success.
