After a tour of central China's Henan province — a food production pioneer in the country that enjoys great agricultural cooperation with the United States — agricultural sector insiders from the US said it has been proven that "agriculture is more than just trade and business".
According to Susan Thornton, vice-chair of the US Heartland China Association, agriculture can be a ballast for stabilizing US-China relations.
She made the comment at the 2026 Heartland Connect & US-China Agriculture Roundtable in Henan's provincial capital Zhengzhou on Tuesday, which was co-hosted by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the Henan provincial government.
