She wrote: "The relationship between the United States and China is typically looked at through the lenses of politics, trade and security, but the arts are also essential. They build bridges within—and between—societies. It’s why a single song can make the world a little better by helping us to collectively imagine a better future."<ref name="Canales"/>
