DAVOS, Switzerland -- Microsoft founder Bill Gates expressed his hope, in an interview with The Nikkei here, that the U.S. and China will avoid trade wars.
The two countries should maintain a good relationship, because it presents mutually beneficial, win-win opportunities, Gates said Wednesday on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum. Since a lot of things have been said by Washington and Beijing, "we don't know what will happen." But "from where I sit, I hope we can avoid trade wars," he added.
