以下為雙語全文：

尊重歷史 面向未來 堅定不移維護和穩(wěn)定中美關系
Respect History, Look to the Future and
Firmly Safeguard and Stabilize China-US Relations

中美關系是世界上最重要的雙邊關系之一。維護和穩(wěn)定中美關系事關兩國人民和世界各國人民福祉，也關乎世界和平、穩(wěn)定、發(fā)展。習近平主席2014年即指出，歷史和現(xiàn)實都表明，中美兩國合則兩利、斗則俱傷。中美合作可以辦成有利于兩國和世界的大事，中美對抗對兩國和世界肯定是災難。雙方應該登高望遠，加強合作，堅持合作，避免對抗，既造福兩國，又兼濟天下。在兩國元首慶祝建交40周年互致賀信時，習近平主席指出，中美建交40年來，兩國關系歷經風雨，取得了歷史性發(fā)展，為兩國人民帶來了巨大利益，也為世界和平、穩(wěn)定、繁榮作出了重要貢獻。歷史充分證明，合作是雙方最好的選擇。美方也表示，多年來，中美關系取得了巨大發(fā)展。
The relations between China and the United States are among the most important bilateral relationships in the world. To safeguard and stabilize China-US relations concerns the welfare of the Chinese and American people and people in the world. It also bears on peace, stability and development in the world. President Xi Jinping pointed out, back in 2014, that past and current experiences show that China and the US stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. China and the US working together can make great things happen for the two countries and the world at large, while China and the US stuck in confrontation spells disaster for the two countries and beyond. It is important for both China and the US to stand high and look far, and work together to increase cooperation. Commitment to cooperation and non-confrontation between China and the US brings benefit to both countries and to all in the global community. In the exchange of congratulatory messages between the two Presidents on the 40th anniversary of China-US diplomatic ties, President Xi Jinping pointed out that over the past four decades, the bilateral relations have made historic progress despite twists and turns, delivering tremendous benefits to their peoples and contributing significantly to world peace, stability, and prosperity. History has made it abundantly clear that there is no better option than cooperation for both countries. The US side also recognized the enormous progress in US-China relations achieved over the decades.

世界正經歷百年未有之大變局，和平與發(fā)展仍然是時代主題。維護世界和平、促進共同發(fā)展是中美兩國的共同責任和使命，需要雙方正確看待和妥善處理彼此關系，形成和而不同的相處之道。正是基于這一點，中美雙方同意共同構建不沖突不對抗、相互尊重、合作共贏的新型大國關系，本屆美國政府執(zhí)政后中美雙方同意共同推動以協(xié)調、合作、穩(wěn)定為基調的中美關系。
The world is now going through major changes unseen in a century, and peace and development remain the overriding theme of the times. To uphold world peace and promote development for all is the shared mission and responsibility for China and the US. What it requires is for the two countries to view and handle their relationship in a proper manner and seek a way of peaceful co-existence despite differences. It was based on such a recognition that China and the US agreed to work together toward a new model of major-country relations featuring non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. It was also based on this recognition that the two sides, after the current US Administration took office, agreed to jointly promote a China-US relationship based on coordination, cooperation and stability.

但是，近一個時期以來，美國一些政客接連拋出種種謬論，惡毒攻擊中國共產黨和中國政治制度，蓄意歪曲并全盤否定近50年來中美關系的歷史。他們試圖用謊言蒙蔽美國人民，欺騙國際輿論。國際社會有目共睹，是美執(zhí)政當局單方面挑起事端，采取一系列干涉中國內政、損害中方利益、嚴重破壞中美關系的錯誤言行，導致兩國關系出現(xiàn)建交以來異常復雜嚴峻的局面。對此，中國政府已經全面闡明了中方立場，予以堅決回應，堅定不移維護國家主權安全發(fā)展利益，堅定不移維護和穩(wěn)定中美關系。
Nonetheless, for some time, some politicians in the US have kept making false statements and groundless remarks against China. They have viciously attacked the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China’s political system. They have deliberately distorted and even attempted to write off the history of China-US relations for the past nearly 50 years. What they are up to is to stitch up lies to blind the American people and fool international public opinion. For the international community, it is clear that the US Administration has chosen unilaterally to be provocative. The erroneous words and moves by the US Administration constituted interference in China’s internal affairs. They undermined China’s interests and seriously disrupted China-US relations, putting the relationship in a most complex and grave situation since the establishment of diplomatic ties. In response to the US move, the Chinese Government has expounded its position in a comprehensive manner and reacted resolutely to firmly defend China’s sovereignty, security and development interests and firmly safeguard and stabilize China-US relations.

中美關系的健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展事關中美兩國和世界的當下與未來，符合中美兩國人民和世界各國人民的共同愿望。絕不能任由美國一小撮政客出于一己私利，把中美關系推到十分危險的境地。
A sound and stable China-US relationship affects the well-being of China, the US and the world at large, both now and in the future. It is what the people of both countries and the wider world expect to see. We must never allow a handful of self-serving US politicians to push the relationship into serious jeopardy.

一

中美兩國人民有著友好交往的歷史，曾經在世界反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭中并肩戰(zhàn)斗。1949年，在中國共產黨領導下，中國人民獲得了解放，建立了中華人民共和國。毛澤東主席莊嚴宣告，中國人民從此站起來了。
The Chinese and American people have a long history of friendly exchanges. They fought shoulder to shoulder during the World Anti-Fascist War. In 1949, under the leadership of the CPC, the Chinese people gained liberation and founded the People’s Republic of China. Chairman Mao Zedong solemnly declared that the Chinese people had since stood up.

新中國成立后，中國在平等互利、相互尊重主權和領土完整的基礎上同一批又一批國家建立了外交關系。然而，由于美方對中華人民共和國采取拒絕承認的錯誤政策，致使中美陷入長期相互隔絕、彼此敵對狀態(tài)。歷史總是要前進，時代總是要進步，這是不可阻擋的歷史潮流。中美兩國人民對彼此始終懷有友好的感情，雙方尋求友好交往和互利合作的努力從未停息。1970年，毛澤東主席在會見美國記者斯諾時表示：“中美兩國總要建交的。中國和美國難道就一百年不建交??？”尼克松總統(tǒng)在1970年也指出：“我們改善同北京的實際上的關系，這肯定是對我們有益的，同時也有利于亞洲和世界的和平與穩(wěn)定”。毛澤東主席、周恩來總理高瞻遠矚，親自決策并推動實施了中美“乒乓外交”，基辛格博士1971年7月秘密訪華，中美實現(xiàn)關系正?；瘽u成大勢所趨。
After the founding of New China, diplomatic relations were established between China and countries after countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. However, the wrong US policy not to recognize the People’s Republic of China kept the two countries long in mutual estrangement and hostility. Yet, the trend of progress of history and the advancement of the times could not be stopped. The Chinese and American people had always cherished friendly sentiments toward each other, and had never stopped making efforts to seek friendly exchanges and cooperation for mutual benefit. In 1970, in his meeting with the US journalist Edgar Snow, Chairman Mao Zedong said, “China and the US will establish diplomatic relations anyway. How can the two countries stay out of diplomatic ties for 100 years?” President Nixon observed in the same year that “it is certainly in our interest, and in the interest of peace and stability in Asia and the world, that we take what steps we can toward improved practical relations with Peking”. Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai demonstrated strategic insight with their decision and personal commitment to launch the “ping-pong diplomacy”, and Dr. Henry Kissinger made a secret visit to China in July 1971. The momentum was built toward normalization of China-US relations.

1972年2月，應周恩來總理邀請，尼克松總統(tǒng)對中國進行了“破冰之旅”，實現(xiàn)了“跨越太平洋的握手”。尼克松總統(tǒng)在人民大會堂歡迎宴會致詞時表示，我是為了美國人民的利益而來。你們深信你們的制度，我們同樣深信我們的制度。我們在這里見面，并不是由于我們有共同的信仰，而是由于我們有共同的利益和共同的希望。我們沒有理由要成為敵人?，F(xiàn)在是我們兩國人民攀登偉大境界的高峰，締造新的、更美好世界的時候了。中國領導人強調，中美雙方要弄清楚彼此之間的分歧，努力尋找共同點，使我們兩國的關系有一個新的開始。
In February 1972, President Nixon paid an ice-breaking visit to China at the invitation of Premier Zhou Enlai, when they had a “handshake that crossed the vast Pacific Ocean”. Addressing the welcoming banquet at the Great Hall of the People, President Nixon said that he had come for US interests. “You believe deeply in your system, and we believe just as deeply in our system. It is not our common beliefs that have brought us together here, but our common interests and our common hopes.” He added, “There is no reason for us to be enemies.” “This is the day for our two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and a better world.” Chinese leaders emphasized that China and the US needed to be clear-minded about their differences and work hard to find common ground in order for the relationship to make a new start.

中美雙方在尼克松總統(tǒng)訪華期間發(fā)表“上海公報”，在肯定兩國共同點的同時，如實列出雙方存在的分歧，明確指出中美兩國的社會制度和外交政策有著本質的區(qū)別，同意各國不論社會制度如何，都應根據(jù)尊重各國主權和領土完整、不侵犯別國、不干涉別國內政、平等互利、和平共處的原則來處理國與國之間的關系。雙方還聲明，中美關系走向正常化是符合所有國家利益的。這一歷史性文件載明了中美雙方愿意秉持相互尊重、平等相待、求同存異原則處理兩國關系的重要共識。“上海公報”充分體現(xiàn)了聯(lián)合國憲章宗旨和原則的精神，符合國際關系基本準則。
The Shanghai Communiqué, issued during President Nixon’s visit, acknowledged the common ground between the two sides while spelling out the differences as they stood. It pointed out clearly that “there are essential differences between China and the United States in their social systems and foreign policies. Yet, the two sides agreed that countries, regardless of their social systems, should conduct their relations on the principles of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, non-aggression against other states, non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence”. The two sides stated that progress toward normalizing China-US relations served the interest of all countries. This historic document kept explicit account of the important common understanding that the two sides were ready to approach their relations on the principles of mutual respect, equality and seeking common ground while shelving differences. The Shanghai Communiqué fully reflected the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and conformed to the basic norms of international relations.

從基辛格秘密訪華到尼克松總統(tǒng)正式訪華，中美關系邁出了走向正?；闹匾徊??？ㄌ卣邮苤蟹教岢龅摹皵嘟?、撤軍、廢約”三原則，并在此基礎上與中方就妥善處理臺灣問題達成一致。中美雙方1978年12月16日發(fā)表的“建交公報”申明，美方承認中華人民共和國政府是中國唯一合法政府，在此范圍內美國人民同臺灣人民保持文化、商務和其他非官方關系。1979年1月1日，中美兩國建交。
From Dr. Kissinger’s secret trip to President Nixon’s official visit, an important step was taken toward normalization of China-US relations. That was followed by the Carter Administration’s acceptance of the three principles proposed by China, namely the US must sever “diplomatic relations” and abrogate its “mutual defense treaty” with Taiwan and US forces must withdraw from Taiwan. On such basis, the US reached agreement with China on the proper handling of the Taiwan question. In the Joint Communiqué issued on 16 December 1978 on the establishment of diplomatic ties, the US recognized the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government of China. The US side went on to state that within that context, the people of the US would maintain cultural, commercial and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan. On 1 January 1979, China and the US entered into diplomatic relations.

在中美關系“破冰”、正?；敝两ń坏倪^程中，毛澤東、周恩來、鄧小平和尼克松、卡特、基辛格等中美老一輩領導人和政治家從兩國人民根本利益出發(fā)，以非凡的戰(zhàn)略眼光和卓越的政治勇氣，超越意識形態(tài)和社會制度的差異，作出了歷史性的政治決斷?！吧虾９珗蟆?、“建交公報”以及1982年著重解決美國售臺武器這一歷史遺留問題的“八·一七”公報，確立了一個中國原則，確認了相互尊重、平等相待、求同存異等處理兩國關系的準則，構成了中美關系的政治基礎。
From the ice-breaking visit to the normalization of relations and to the establishment of diplomatic ties, leaders and statesmen of the elder generation in China and the US, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping on the Chinese side, and Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Henry Kissinger on the American side, acted in the fundamental interests of the two peoples and made the political decision of historic significance with their exceptional strategic vision and political courage to rise above the differences in ideology and social systems. The Shanghai Communiqué, the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, and the 1982 Joint Communiqué that focused on addressing the question of US arms sales to Taiwan, something left over from history, identified the One China principle and established the principles of mutual respect, equality and seeking common ground while putting aside differences as the guiding principles in conducting China-US relations. They form the political foundation of China-US relations.

歷史事實是，中國始終堅持中國共產黨領導，一直堅定不移走社會主義道路，從中美關系正?；M程開始，兩國關系就是建立在雙方承認并尊重彼此社會制度不同這一共識基礎之上。當前，美方一些政客聲稱美國當初與中國接觸和建交是為了改變中國，美國對華接觸政策已全面失敗，污蔑中國多年來欺騙美國，渲染意識形態(tài)對立，竭力鼓吹冷戰(zhàn)思維。這是對幾十年來中美兩國各界人士為推動中美關系發(fā)展所作巨大努力和貢獻的莫大褻瀆。然而，事實就是事實，歷史豈容篡改。我們要以對歷史和人民負責的態(tài)度，激濁揚清，還歷史以本來面目，共同維護好中美關系的基礎，維護好中美兩國人民的友好感情，否則歷史和人民決不會答應。
The fact of history is, China has always upheld the leadership of the CPC and steadfastly followed the path of socialism. From the outset of the normalization process, China-US relations have always been based on the common understanding that both sides recognize and respect each other's different social system. Some US politicians claim that in engaging and entering into diplomatic relations with China, the original US purpose was to change China, and that US policy of engagement with China has become a total failure. They portray China as having tried over all these years to fool and deceive the US. Their allegations are fanfare for ideological confrontation and the Cold War mentality. They are nothing short of discredit to the enormous efforts and contributions made throughout past decades by people across the two societies to promote the development of China-US relations. Yet, fact is fact, and history cannot be tampered with. We need to take an attitude that is responsible to history and to the people. We need to stand up for what is right and set the record straight. We need to jointly safeguard the foundation of China-US relations and protect the friendship between the Chinese and American people. Any attempt otherwise will fail the test of history and people’s expectation.

中美建交后，在雙方共同努力下，兩國關系歷經風雨和坎坷，取得了歷史性發(fā)展，不僅給兩國人民帶來了巨大利益，也有力促進了世界的和平、穩(wěn)定、發(fā)展。中美合作從來都是互利共贏的，41年來兩國和世界各國都是中美關系發(fā)展的受益者。
After establishment of diplomatic ties, and thanks to concerted efforts on both sides, China-US relations have made historic progress despite ups and downs along the way. It has brought enormous benefits to the two peoples and contributed significantly to world peace, stability and prosperity. Cooperation between China and the US has always been conducted for mutual benefit. For the past 41 years, China and the US, and for that matter all countries in the world, have benefited from the development of China-US relations.

改革開放以來，在中國共產黨的領導下，中國人民憑著自己的勤勞和智慧，取得了巨大發(fā)展成就。在此過程中，中國的快速發(fā)展得益于同世界各國的交流合作，也為包括美國在內世界各國提供了持續(xù)的增長動力和重要機遇。中美貿易額較建交之初增長了200多倍，雙向投資從幾乎為零到近2400億美元。中國物美價廉的商品給美國消費者帶來了實惠，中國廣闊的市場和良好的營商環(huán)境為美國企業(yè)提供了豐厚利潤。
Since reform and opening-up started, the hardworking and talented Chinese people have, under the leadership of the CPC, achieved phenomenal progress. China’s rapid development over the decades, which benefited from interactions and cooperation with countries around the world, has in turn provided the US and other countries with sustained growth impetus and important opportunities. The volume of trade between China and the US has increased more than 200 times over the early days of diplomatic ties, and two-way investment has taken off from scratch to reach nearly US$240 billion. Made-in-China goods, nice and inexpensive, are best buys for American consumers. China’s vast market and sound business environment offer a source of tremendous profits for US firms.

中美人員往來從每年幾千人次增長到超過500萬人次，中國在美留學生總數(shù)超過40萬人。兩國建立了50對友好省州關系和227對姐妹城市。從2005年卡特里娜颶風災害到2008年汶川重大地震災害，中美兩國人民感同身受，紛紛向對方施以援手。新冠肺炎疫情發(fā)生后，中美兩國各界相互馳援。中國有關省市、企業(yè)和機構向美方受疫情影響的州市、社區(qū)和民眾捐贈口罩、防護服等醫(yī)用設備，并向美方供應了大批抗疫物資。
The exchange of visits between the Chinese and American people jumped from several thousand to over five million per year. More than 400,000 Chinese students are studying in the US. Fifty pairs of sister provinces/states and 227 pairs of sister cities have been forged between the two sides. In the face of natural disasters from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, our two peoples felt for each other and lent each other a helping hand. When COVID-19 struck, Chinese and Americans from all walks of life rushed to each other’s assistance. Chinese provinces, cities, enterprises and institutions have donated masks, protective gowns and other medical supplies to affected populations, communities, cities and states in the US. They have also provided the US with large quantities of virus containment materials.

中美兩國同世界各國一道，致力于維護世界和平、安全與發(fā)展。雙方在朝鮮半島、阿富汗、中東等地區(qū)熱點問題上保持了密切溝通協(xié)調，與相關國家一道推動有關問題的政治解決進程。中美在反恐、防擴散、禁毒、疾病防控、減貧、維和、打擊芬太尼濫用走私活動等領域開展了富有成效的合作。2001年，美國遭受“9·11”恐怖襲擊后，中國政府和人民即向美國政府和人民表示慰問，中美在反恐和防擴散領域加強協(xié)調與合作。同時，中方一直強調在反恐問題上不能采取雙重或多重標準。面對1997年亞洲金融危機和2008年國際金融危機，中美和各國合力應對，為維護國際金融穩(wěn)定、促進世界經濟復蘇作出了重要貢獻。在中美等國攜手推動下，氣候變化《巴黎協(xié)定》得以簽署，為促進全球氣候變化合作提供重要動力。中美雙方還在東帝汶開展糧食安全三方合作，聯(lián)合培訓阿富汗外交官，在非洲聯(lián)手抗擊埃博拉疫情，成為兩國協(xié)助第三國加強能力建設的范例。
China and the US, together with the rest of the world, have been committed to upholding world peace, security and development. The two countries have had close communication and coordination on regional hot-spots such as the Korean Peninsula, Afghanistan and the Middle East, and have worked with relevant countries to advance the political settlement of these issues. China and the US have had productive cooperation in counter-terrorism, non-proliferation, narcotics control, disease prevention and containment, poverty alleviation, peacekeeping, and the fight against the abuse and trafficking of fentanyl, among others. In 2001, when the US was hit by the September 11 terrorist attack, the Chinese Government and people immediately expressed their sympathies to the American Government and people, and the two countries strengthened coordination and cooperation on counter-terrorism and non-proliferation. In the meantime, China has called for rejecting double standards or even multiple standards in countering terrorism. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis, China and the US worked with the rest of the world and made significant contributions to safeguarding international financial stability and kick-starting global recovery. The joint efforts of China, the US and other countries have led to the signing of the Paris Agreement, providing a strong impetus for global cooperation on climate change. The two countries have also carried out trilateral cooperation on food security in Timor-Leste, conducted joint training for Afghan diplomats and helped Africa to fight Ebola, setting a prime example of them working together to facilitate capacity-building in a third country.

當然，41年來，中美關系發(fā)展并非一帆風順，中美之間也曾經歷過風風雨雨和重大波折，但兩國都能夠從歷史和大局出發(fā)，管控矛盾和分歧，妥善處理敏感問題，維護了中美關系總體穩(wěn)定發(fā)展的勢頭。事實證明，中美之間沒有過不去的坎，關鍵在于要有相互尊重、平等相待、求同存異的誠意，在于要有對歷史和人民負責的擔當。
That said, the past 41 years has not all been smooth sailing for China-US relations. There have been ups and downs and even major setbacks on the way. However, the two countries have always approached their relationship from a historical perspective and with the bigger picture in mind. They have managed differences and disagreements, properly handled sensitive issues, and safeguarded the momentum of steady growth in China-US relations. What has happened shows that no obstacle is insurmountable for China and the US. The key lies in a true commitment to mutual respect, equality and seeking common ground while shelving differences. It lies in the courage to take up the responsibility for history and the people.

回顧41年的中美關系，我們可以從中得到許多寶貴的歷史啟迪：一是要始終從中美兩國人民和世界各國人民共同利益、全人類前途命運出發(fā)考慮和處理兩國關系，為中美兩國好，也為世界各國好。二是要始終堅持中美關系的正確方向，牢牢把握兩國共同利益遠大于分歧。三是要始終建設性管控分歧，恪守中美三個聯(lián)合公報原則和精神，尊重彼此核心利益和重大關切。四是要始終致力于擴大中美合作，遵循合作共贏原則，為兩國和世界帶來更多福祉。這些有益經驗過去管用，現(xiàn)在管用，今后也管用。
The history of China-US relations over the past 41 years teaches a lot. First, China and the US must always approach and handle their relations by keeping in mind the common interests of the two countries and all countries in the world, as well as the future of all humanity. Such an approach will benefit not only the two countries but countries around the world. Second, China and the US must always keep to the right direction in the relationship, and bear firmly in mind that their common interests far outweigh their differences. Third, China and the US must always manage their differences in a constructive manner, abide by the principles and spirit of the three Joint Communiqués, and respect each other’s core interests and major concerns. Fourth, China and the US must always work to expand cooperation in a win-win spirit, and bring greater benefits to the two countries and the world at large. These valuable experiences have proved effective in the past. They remain effective now and will continue to be effective in the future.

中美關系正面臨新的國際國內環(huán)境。在這一背景下，維護和穩(wěn)定兩國關系的正確態(tài)度應該是尊重歷史，與時俱進，繼往開來，而不應歪曲歷史、否定歷史、開歷史倒車。
China-US relations are now faced with a new international and domestic environment. To safeguard and stabilize the relationship against this backdrop, the right attitude is to respect history, keep pace with the times, and build on past achievements, and not to distort and deny history, or turn back the wheel of history.

當前，世界百年未有之大變局加速演進，國際形勢中不穩(wěn)定不確定性明顯增加，新冠肺炎疫情等給各國安全和發(fā)展帶來新的挑戰(zhàn)。同時，各國經濟相互聯(lián)系，科技進步日新月異，人類命運休戚與共，世界成為你中有我、我中有你的地球村，任何國家都不能獨善其身。正如習近平主席2017年在聯(lián)合國日內瓦總部發(fā)表的重要演講指出的，宇宙只有一個地球，人類共有一個家園；珍愛和呵護地球是人類的唯一選擇。各國應該共同推動建設新型國際關系，共同構建人類命運共同體。
The once-in-a-century major shift in the world landscape is picking up speed. Instability and uncertainties in the international situation are growing markedly. COVID-19 and the like pose new challenges to the security and development of all countries. In the meantime, countries are interconnected economically. Progress is made in science and technology with each passing day. Mankind shares a common future in a world that has become a global village where countries are interdependent on each other. No country can handle all this on its own. As President Xi Jinping pointed out in his important speech at the UN Office at Geneva in 2017, there is only one Earth in the universe, and we mankind have only one homeland; caring for and cherishing the Earth is the only option for mankind. All countries should work for a new type of international relations and build a community with a shared future for mankind.

世界是豐富多彩的。世界各國歷史文化、政治制度、發(fā)展模式等各異，都在走符合自身國情的發(fā)展道路。我們尊重各國選擇的發(fā)展道路，希望各國都發(fā)展得好。中國堅定不移走中國特色社會主義道路，中國共產黨領導是中國特色社會主義最本質的特征。中國堅持走這條道路取得了巨大成就，也為維護世界和平穩(wěn)定、促進各國共同發(fā)展作出了重要貢獻。美國一些政客狂妄無知，違反聯(lián)合國憲章和國際關系基本準則，動輒粗暴干涉其他國家內政。美方詆毀抹黑中國政治制度、離間中國共產黨和中國人民關系的圖謀注定要失敗。他們應該明白，中國共產黨的領導地位是歷史和人民的選擇，得到14億中國人民的衷心擁護和支持。中國共產黨始終把人民對美好生活的向往作為自己的奮斗目標，這正是中國共產黨能夠得到廣大人民群眾衷心擁護的根本原因。美國一些政客越是挑撥離間中國共產黨和中國人民的血肉聯(lián)系，越會激起中國人民的義憤，中國人民將在中國共產黨的堅強領導下更加奮發(fā)前行。同樣必須指出的是，在當今信息化社會，中國人民對世界和美國有著清楚了解和深刻認知，有能力對事物作出正確判斷，不是美方某些人可以隨便蒙蔽的。我們沒有興趣干涉美國的內政，美方也應尊重中國對自身發(fā)展道路的選擇。中國人民追求國家發(fā)展和美好生活的正當權利理應受到尊重。任何旨在剝奪中國人民發(fā)展權的圖謀都是白日做夢。中國人民有高度的自信，國際社會看得也很清楚。
We live in a diverse world. Countries have different histories, cultures, political systems and development models, and each follows a development path suited to its national conditions. We respect the paths chosen by other countries and wish them all success. China is firmly committed to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The CPC's leadership is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In pursuing this path, China has made tremendous achievements, and contributed significantly to safeguarding world peace and stability and promoting common development of all countries. Some US politicians, out of arrogance and ignorance, have acted in violation of the UN Charter and basic norms governing international relations, and have willfully and blatantly interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. But US attempts to smear and slander China’s political system and drive a wedge between the CPC and the Chinese people are doomed to fail. They should have known that the leadership role of the CPC is a choice of history and of the people, and the CPC enjoys firm support of the 1.4 billion Chinese people. For the CPC, the goal is always to meet the aspiration of the people for a better life. And that is the fundamental reason why it has won the wholehearted endorsement and support of the people. The harder the US politicians try to sever the strong bond between the CPC and the Chinese people, the greater indignation they will arouse among the Chinese people. And the Chinese people will forge ahead with even greater resolve under the strong leadership of the CPC. It must be pointed out that in the information age, the Chinese people have clear and profound knowledge of the world and the US. They are capable of making the right judgment, and are not easily misguided by some in the US. China has no interest in meddling in US domestic politics. Likewise, the US should respect China’s choice of development path. The Chinese people’s legitimate rights to pursue national development and a better life should be respected. Any attempt to take away from the Chinese people their right to development is daydream. The Chinese people have strong confidence, and the international community sees this clearly as well.

今天，中國人民正緊密團結在以習近平同志為核心的黨中央周圍，為實現(xiàn)“兩個一百年”奮斗目標而不懈努力。中國堅定不移走和平發(fā)展道路，也希望其他國家共同走和平發(fā)展道路；中國堅定不移致力于建設新型國際關系，推動構建人類命運共同體，建設持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁榮、開放包容、清潔美麗的世界；中國堅定不移深化改革擴大開放，開放的大門將越開越大；中國堅定不移同各國加強互利合作，攜手推動“一帶一路”建設高質量發(fā)展，積極倡導共建“健康絲綢之路”，構建人類衛(wèi)生健康共同體。今年上半年，中國經濟在全球嚴峻疫情下取得超出預期的表現(xiàn)，充分顯現(xiàn)了中國經濟的韌性和潛力。正如習近平主席指出的那樣，中國經濟是一片大海，而不是一個小池塘?？耧L驟雨可以掀翻小池塘，但不能掀翻大海。我們歡迎包括美國企業(yè)在內的各國企業(yè)繼續(xù)來華投資興業(yè)，并為他們繼續(xù)創(chuàng)造更加良好的營商環(huán)境。
Today, the Chinese people are rallying closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and are making unremitting efforts toward the Two Centenary Goals. China is firmly committed to the path of peaceful development, and hopes that other countries will also follow the path of peaceful development. China is firmly committed to fostering a new type of international relations, building a community with a shared future for mankind, and bringing about an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world with lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity. China is firmly committed to deepening reform and opening-up, and will open its door even wider to the world. China is firmly committed to enhancing mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries, jointly promoting high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, promoting a Silk Road of Health through collective efforts, and building a global community of health for all. In the first half of this year, the Chinese economy outperformed expectations in spite of the grave COVID-19 situation around the world. This is a telling example of the resilience and potential of the Chinese economy. As President Xi Jinping pointed out, “The Chinese economy is not a pond, but an ocean. Big winds and storms may upset a pond, but never an ocean.” We welcome companies from around the world, including the US, to continue to invest in China. We will continue to improve the business environment for them.

中國對發(fā)展中美關系的政策立場一以貫之，保持高度的穩(wěn)定性和連續(xù)性。我們致力于發(fā)展不沖突不對抗、相互尊重、合作共贏的中美關系，同時將堅定捍衛(wèi)國家主權安全發(fā)展利益。中國發(fā)展的根本目標，是為讓中國人民過上更好的日子，為地區(qū)和世界和平、穩(wěn)定、發(fā)展和繁榮作出更大貢獻。中美對話合作不是單行道，不是單方面的恩惠，是平等互利的。中國是講原則、講道理、講信譽的國家，也是講相互尊重、合作共贏的國家。國際社會已經充分表明，希望中美關系能夠健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展，不希望中美走向對抗沖突。美方一些政客出于一己私利，以種種手段威逼打壓其他國家選邊站隊。國際社會對此是深惡痛絕的。美方這些政客的圖謀決不會得逞。
On developing relations with the US, China has all along pursued a consistent policy stance, and showed great stability and continuity. We are committed to developing a China-US relationship featuring non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. In the meantime, we are resolved to safeguard our sovereignty, security and development interests. The fundamental goal of China’s development is to bring about a better life for the Chinese people and contribute more to regional and global peace, stability, development and prosperity. Dialogue and cooperation between China and the US does not just benefit one side, nor is it a favor granted by one side to the other. It features equality and mutual benefit. China values principles, reason and credibility as well as mutual respect and win-win cooperation. The international community has made it clear that it hopes to see a healthy and stable China-US relationship and does not want to see confrontation or conflict between the two countries. Some US politicians, out of self-serving interests, have resorted to coercive means to force other countries to take sides. This is deeply deplorable to the international community, and those US politicians will never get their way.

中美雙方要堅持從戰(zhàn)略高度和長遠角度出發(fā)，本著對歷史、對人民負責的精神，把握好兩國關系發(fā)展的方向，以兩國人民和世界各國人民根本利益為念，加強接觸對話溝通，美方應同中方一道共同推動以協(xié)調、合作、穩(wěn)定為基調的中美關系，使兩國關系重回正確軌道。
China and the US should assume a strategic height and long-term perspective, and keep their relations in the right direction with a sense of responsibility for history and the people. They should bear in mind the fundamental interests of the Chinese and American people and the whole world, and strengthen engagement, dialogue and communication. The US should work with China to develop a bilateral relationship based on coordination, cooperation and stability, so as to bring China-US relations back to the right track.

國際社會要繼續(xù)加強合作應對新冠肺炎疫情。流行性疾病不分國界和種族，是人類共同的敵人。團結合作是最有力的武器，各國唯有共同應對，才能戰(zhàn)而勝之。中方支持國際社會在世界衛(wèi)生組織領導下加強抗疫合作，全力爭取早日戰(zhàn)勝疫情。中國人民真誠希望美國早日控制住疫情蔓延勢頭，減少疫情給美國人民帶來的損失。美國一些政客應立即停止將疫情政治化、把病毒污名化，停止向中方“甩鍋”、推責，擔負起對本國國民以及作為一個大國應當承擔的國際責任，與國際社會一道推動全球抗疫合作，共同挽救人類生命。
The international community should strengthen cooperation in fighting COVID-19. Infectious diseases respect no borders or ethnicity, and they are the common enemy of mankind. Unity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon. Only when the international community join hands can the war be won against COVID-19. China supports greater international cooperation against COVID-19 under the leadership of the World Health Organization to defeat the virus at an early date. The Chinese people sincerely hope that the virus will be contained in the US as soon as possible to minimize its impact on the American people. Some US politicians should immediately stop politicizing and stigmatizing the virus and scapegoating China. The US should fulfill its duty to its own people, live up to its international responsibility as a major country, and work with the international community to promote global cooperation in COVID-19 response and to save lives.

要尊重彼此核心利益和重大關切。臺灣、涉港、涉藏、涉疆問題涉及中國主權和領土完整，事關中方核心利益。中方嚴正要求美方慎重妥善處理有關問題，立即停止干涉中國內政。對美方損害我國核心重大利益的言行，我們已經并將繼續(xù)采取堅定、必要的反制措施。中方捍衛(wèi)國家主權、安全、發(fā)展利益的決心堅定不移。
China and the US should respect each other’s core interests and major concerns. Issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang concern China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and bear on China’s core interests. We urge the US side to handle relevant issues properly with prudence and immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs. In response to US words and actions that undermine China’s core and major interests, we have taken, and will continue to take, firm and necessary counter-measures. China’s resolve to defend its sovereignty, security and development interests is unshakable.

要避免戰(zhàn)略誤判，管控分歧。對中美兩國而言，合作共贏是唯一正確選擇。美方必須摒棄冷戰(zhàn)思維和零和博弈的錯誤行徑。中美雙方要開展各領域對話溝通，中方同美方對話溝通的大門始終敞開。雙方應以溝通促進合作，以對話妥處分歧。
China and the US should avoid strategic miscalculation and manage well their differences. Cooperation and win-win is the only right choice for the two countries. The US must abandon its Cold War mentality and the misguided zero-sum game approach. The two countries need to engage in dialogue and communication in all areas. China is always open to dialogue and communication with the US. The two sides should enhance cooperation through communication, and properly address differences through dialogue.

要拓展各領域互利合作。希望美方同中方加強配合，為落實中美第一階段經貿協(xié)議創(chuàng)造有利條件。美方應停止打壓中國企業(yè)的霸凌行為，為中國企業(yè)經營投資提供公平、開放、非歧視性的環(huán)境。雙方要拓展能源、執(zhí)法、禁毒、地方、人文等領域交流合作。中美兩軍應加強接觸交往，用好互信機制，使兩軍關系成為兩國關系的穩(wěn)定因素。雙方還應就朝鮮半島、阿富汗、中東、網絡安全、氣候變化、公共衛(wèi)生等國際地區(qū)問題繼續(xù)開展協(xié)調合作，讓兩國人民和世界各國人民從中美及其他國家的合作中得到更多利益。
China and the US should expand mutually beneficial cooperation in all fields. China hopes that the US will work with China to foster enabling conditions for the implementation of the phase one trade agreement. The US must stop bullying Chinese companies, and provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory environment for their operation and investment. The two sides need to expand exchanges and cooperation in energy, law enforcement and counter-narcotics as well as sub-national cooperation and people-to-people exchanges. The two militaries need to enhance exchanges and make full use of the confidence-building mechanisms to make the mil-to-mil relationship a stabilizing factor in bilateral relations. The two sides should also engage in close coordination and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula, Afghanistan, the Middle East, cyber-security, climate change, public health and other international and regional issues, so that the Chinese and American people and the whole world can benefit more from cooperation among China, the US and other countries.

要維護中美關系的民意基礎。中美人民友誼蘊含了幾十年來兩國人民的無數(shù)心血，值得我們倍加呵護。美國一些反華勢力濫用“國家安全”概念，蓄意阻撓中美正常交往，刻意誤導美國民眾，企圖給兩國關系造成不可逆的破壞。美國各界有識之士深知維護中美關系和兩國人民友誼的重要性，紛紛站出來對反華勢力的倒行逆施表明反對立場。中美兩國人民的友好往來不是一些美國政客的政治操弄可以隔斷的。中方歡迎更多美國各界人士來華親身感受真實的中國，將繼續(xù)鼓勵和支持兩國人民開展教育、科技、文化、體育、青年、媒體等各領域交流合作。
China and the US should cement popular support for their relations. Friendship between the Chinese and American people is a bond forged by the dedication of the two peoples over the past decades, and must be cherished all the more. Yet some anti-China elements in the US are abusing the concept of “national security” to deliberately obstruct the normal interactions between the two countries and to mislead the American people in an attempt to cause irreversible damage to China-US relations. People from all sectors with vision and insight in the US understand deeply the importance of safeguarding China-US relations and the friendship between the two peoples. And more and more of them have come forward to express opposition to the regressive moves by the anti-China elements. The friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American people cannot be cut off by some US politicians through political maneuvering. The Chinese side welcomes more American people from all walks of life to China to see and experience the country for what it really is. China will continue to encourage and support exchanges and cooperation between the two peoples in education, science, technology, culture, sports, youth, the media and other areas.

維護和穩(wěn)定中美關系是人心所向、大勢所趨。我們敦促美方決策者尊重歷史事實，認清時代潮流，正視美國各界有識之士的呼聲，傾聽世界各國的呼吁，糾正錯誤、改弦易轍，同中方相向而行，在相互尊重基礎上管控分歧，在互利互惠基礎上拓展合作，共同推動中美關系回到健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展的軌道。
To safeguard and stabilize China-US relations is the call of the people and the trend of the times. We urge US decision-makers to respect facts of history, recognize the trend of the times, heed the visionary calls in the US, and listen to the voice of the international community. We urge them to redress mistakes and change course, and work with China to manage differences on the basis of mutual respect, expand cooperation on the basis of mutual benefit, and bring China-US relations back to the track of sound and steady development.
