Dialogue with National Committee on US-China Relations
By Yang Jiechi
2021/02/02

很高興同美中關系全國委員會董事會成員進行視頻交流。在座的各位朋友都是來自美國各界的重要代表，有的曾在美國政府中擔任要職，有的是取得了卓越成就的企業(yè)家，有的是來自戰(zhàn)略研究界的知名專家，你們是具有重要影響的人士。很高興今天同各位就中美關系和共同關心的問題交換意見。
It is a pleasure to have this virtual conversation with board members of the National Committee on US-China Relations. You all are leading figures with important influence representing different sectors of the American society, including key members of previous administrations, accomplished business leaders, and well-known scholars in the strategic community. I look forward to a deep-going discussion with you all on China-US relations and matters of shared interest.

美中關系全國委員會是中美關系發(fā)展歷程的見證者和推動者。歷史上著名的中美“乒乓外交”中，中國乒乓球隊首次訪美就是委員會負責接待的。委員會成立55年來，為增進中美兩國人民相互了解和各領域交流合作作出了重要貢獻，我們對此高度贊賞。今年也是基辛格博士秘密訪華50周年，我要借此機會對包括基辛格博士在內的在座各位多年來為促進中美友誼、互信、合作以及兩國關系發(fā)展所作努力表示衷心感謝。
The National Committee has witnessed and contributed to the growth of China-US relations. It played a prominent role in ping-pong diplomacy by hosting the Chinese table tennis team on their first visit to the United States. In its 55-year history, the National Committee has made a valuable contribution to promoting the mutual understanding, exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese and the American people. We commend your great efforts. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dr. Henry Kissinger's secret visit to China. I wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Kissinger and other friends for your long-lasting efforts to promote the friendship, mutual trust, cooperation and broader bilateral relations between our two countries.

在剛剛過去的2020年，突如其來的新冠肺炎疫情席卷全球。這場疫情帶給人們很多啟迪，其中最重要的一條就是，在全球化時代，各國利益高度交融，惟有團結一致、加強國際協調與合作，才能有效應對各種全球性挑戰(zhàn)，創(chuàng)造更加美好的未來。作為世界前兩大經濟體和聯合國安理會常任理事國，中美能否有效開展合作，直接關系到各國人民福祉和世界和平、發(fā)展與繁榮。
In 2020, the world was caught by the sudden attack of COVID-19. While the pandemic is thought-provoking, the most important thing is that in the era of globalization, the interests of countries are so intertwined that solidarity and enhanced coordination and cooperation are the only way for us to tackle global challenges effectively and create a better future for all. China and the United States are the two largest economies and permanent members of the UN Security Council. Effective cooperation between the two has a direct bearing on the well-being of all people as well as peace, development and prosperity of the world.

過去幾年來，由于美國特朗普政府實行極端錯誤的反華政策，中美關系遭遇了兩國建交以來前所未有的嚴重困難。美方一些人固守冷戰(zhàn)思維，把中國視作威脅，采取了一系列干涉中國內政、損害中方利益的錯誤言行，阻撓破壞中美正常交往和互利合作，試圖推動中美“脫鉤”甚至搞所謂“新冷戰(zhàn)”，嚴重破壞中美關系，嚴重損害兩國人民根本利益，違背當今時代潮流。
For the past few years, the Trump administration adopted misguided policies against China, plunging the relationship into its most difficult period since the establishment of diplomatic ties. Some in the United States, sticking to Cold War thinking, perceived China as a threat. Their rhetoric and actions have interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests, and disrupted exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides. There have also been attempts to seek "decoupling" and a so-called "new Cold War". Such moves, going against the trend of the times, have seriously damaged China-US relations as well as the fundamental interests of the two peoples.

我們認為，和平與發(fā)展仍然是時代主題，和平共處、合作共贏仍然是各國人民的共同心愿。中方一貫主張推動構建相互尊重、公平正義、合作共贏的新型國際關系，推動構建人類命運共同體。中方是這么說的，也是這么做的。必須指出的是，14億中國人民衷心擁護中國共產黨領導，緊緊團結在中國共產黨周圍，堅定不移走中國特色社會主義道路。中國持續(xù)發(fā)展的步伐和人類和平與發(fā)展的崇高事業(yè)是任何力量都阻擋不了的。
We believe that peace and development are still the prevailing trend of the times, and that peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation remain the shared aspiration of all peoples. China calls for establishing a new type of international relations characterized by mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation, and for building a community with a shared future for mankind. This is both our vision and our guide for action. It must be pointed out that the 1.4 billion Chinese people wholeheartedly support the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and they are rallying closely around the CPC and forging ahead on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics with great resolve and determination. No force could stop China's continuous development or the noble cause of global peace and development.

令人欣慰的是，在中美關系遭遇嚴重困難的時刻，支持中美交流合作的力量從未缺席。包括美中關系全國委員會在內的諸多美國機構團體以及各界人士通過發(fā)表聯名信、撰寫文章、舉辦視頻交流研討等多種方式，持續(xù)發(fā)出反對中美對抗、支持中美合作的理性聲音，與來自極端反華派的雜音與干擾形成鮮明對比，為維護中美關系穩(wěn)定大局發(fā)揮了難能可貴的積極作用。
It is good to note that in times of great difficulty for China-US relations, the force for bilateral exchanges and cooperation has never been absent. A great number of institutions, groups and individuals in the United States, including the National Committee, have made their voices heard and their views known through co-signed letters, articles and webinars. A strong case is made for cooperation instead of confrontation between China and the United States. Such voices of reason, in stark contrast with the noise and disruption from China hawks, are most valuable for upholding overall stability of China-US relations.

2020年是極不平凡的一年。面對突如其來的新冠肺炎疫情，中美兩國人民和社會各界守望相助，共克時艱。美國不少地方、企業(yè)、民間團體和友好人士向中方提供寶貴支持，中國很多省市、企業(yè)、機構和民眾也向美方伸出援助之手，包括為美方在華采購醫(yī)療物資提供了各種便利。兩國青少年在視頻中相互加油鼓勁，令人感動。正如美有關州市感謝信所說，我們在艱難時刻的相互支持幫助，是共同戰(zhàn)勝疫情的重要保證。
The year 2020 has been a most extraordinary one. In the trying times of the sudden onslaught of COVID-19, the Chinese and American people reached out to each other. A great number of local governments, businesses, civil groups and individuals in the United States gave their valuable support to China. From the Chinese side, many provinces, cities, companies, institutions and ordinary people pitched in, among other things, by facilitating US purchases of Chinese medical supplies. Video clips recorded by Chinese and American youngsters cheering for one another warmed all our hearts. As quoted from letters of appreciation by US states and cities, the mutual assistance and support between the two sides in this difficult time were instrumental to our joint fight to bring the virus under control.

山和山不相遇，人和人要相逢。中美兩國人民的交往和友誼是無法阻隔的。盡管遇到種種困難，兩國各領域交流合作仍持續(xù)推進。去年中美新增友好城市4對，兩國友好省州、友城已分別達50對和231對。美中貿易全國委員會2020年度《中國商業(yè)環(huán)境調查》報告顯示，91%的受訪美國企業(yè)表示去年在中國市場仍保持盈利，87%的企業(yè)表示不會撤離中國。事實是，中美經貿合作逆勢增長，2020年中美貨物貿易額為5800多億美元，同比增長超過8%，其中中國自美國進口1300多億美元，同比增長近10%。
"Mountains do not meet, but people do." The communication and friendship between the Chinese and American people can never be stopped. Despite the many obstacles, our bilateral exchanges and cooperation in various fields have registered new progress. With another four pairs of sister cities established last year, China and the United States now have 50 pairs of sister provinces and states and 231 pairs of sister cities. According to the Member Survey conducted by the US-China Business Council last year, 91 percent of the US companies surveyed showed that their China operations were profitable and 87 percent of the companies reported no plans to shift production out of China. The fact is, our two countries' economic cooperation and trade have continued to grow against the headwinds. In 2020, two-way trade in goods grew by more than 8 percent to over 580 billion dollars, including over 130 billion dollars of Chinese imports from the United States, up by nearly 10 percent.

歷史和事實充分說明，中美合作是人心所向、大勢所趨，中美利益高度關聯融合，一些人出于一己政治私利和狹隘偏見竭力破壞中美關系，是站在歷史錯誤一邊，站到了兩國人民的對立面，注定是要失敗的。
A review of history and reality points to one thing: cooperation between China and the United States is desired by the people in both countries, and such a popular trend cannot be reversed. Between China and the United States, there are so many shared and interconnected interests. Those who seek to disrupt bilateral ties are driven by political gains and narrow-minded prejudice. They will be standing on the wrong side of history and alienating themselves from people in both countries. And their attempts will never get anywhere.

過去一年，在習近平主席親自指揮、親自部署下，中國人民上下一心，統(tǒng)籌疫情防控和經濟社會發(fā)展取得重大戰(zhàn)略成果，全面建成小康社會取得偉大歷史性成就，決戰(zhàn)脫貧攻堅取得決定性勝利。2021年，中國共產黨將迎來建黨100周年，這也是中國第十四個五年規(guī)劃的開局之年，標志著中國開啟了全面建設社會主義現代化國家新征程。我們將立足新發(fā)展階段，深入貫徹新發(fā)展理念，加快構建以國內大循環(huán)為主體、國內國際雙循環(huán)相互促進的新發(fā)展格局，推動中國“十四五”時期實現高質量發(fā)展。
In the past year, the Chinese people, working as one under the leadership and instruction of President Xi Jinping, made major strategic progress in both COVID response and economic and social development. Historic achievements were made in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and decisive victory was won in ending extreme poverty nation-wide. The year 2021 marks the centenary of the Communist Party of China. It is also the first year in our implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan, a year in which China will embark on a new journey toward building a modern socialist country. As China enters a new development stage, we will fully apply the new development vision and foster a new development paradigm with domestic circulation as the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other. The next five years will see China embracing high-quality development.

我知道在座美國朋友中不少人熟悉中國改革開放40多年的歷史過程，在不同歷史時期來過中國很多次，了解中國。中國的快速發(fā)展受益于對外開放，我們將始終堅持這一基本國策，任何時候都不會動搖。過去40多年的實踐證明，改革開放是互利共贏的，不僅有利于中國，也有利于美國、有利于世界。2017年1月17日，習近平主席在世界經濟論壇年會上強調，中國的發(fā)展是世界的機遇，中國堅持走一條在開放中謀求共同發(fā)展的道路，在實現自身發(fā)展的同時更多惠及其他國家和人民，為開放型世界經濟發(fā)展提供了重要動力。今年1月25日，習近平主席在世界經濟論壇“達沃斯議程”對話會上指出，中國將繼續(xù)實施互利共贏的開放戰(zhàn)略，堅定實施對外開放基本國策，持續(xù)打造市場化、法治化、國際化營商環(huán)境，發(fā)揮超大市場優(yōu)勢和內需潛力，為世界經濟復蘇和增長注入更多動力。習近平主席的重要講話，向世界傳遞出中國致力于持續(xù)深化改革、擴大高水平對外開放的積極信號，也彰顯了中國與各國一道實現共同發(fā)展的堅定承諾。中國經濟的不斷發(fā)展，中國人民對美好生活的追求，將對來自世界各地更加多樣化高品質的產品、技術、服務產生更多需求，預計未來10年累計商品進口額有望超過22萬億美元，這將為世界各國企業(yè)包括美國企業(yè)科技創(chuàng)新與業(yè)務增長提供強勁助力，為世界各國提供更加廣闊的市場機會。
I know many of you are familiar with China's momentous journey since reform and opening-up started over four decades ago, and you know the country well from your visits to China at different times in the past. Opening-up has been a key driving force behind China's rapid development. We remain fully committed to this fundamental policy and there will be no wavering in our commitment. What has happened over the past 40-plus years proves that reform and opening-up is a win-win process. It has brought benefits not only to China, but also to the United States and the world beyond. On 17 January 2017, President Xi Jinping stated at the World Economic Forum that China's development is an opportunity for the world. China is committed to a path of pursuing common development through opening-up. While developing itself, China has shared much of the fruit of its development with other countries and peoples and lent much momentum to an open world economy. On 25 January this year, President Xi Jinping stressed at the World Economic Forum's "Davos Agenda" virtual event that China will continue to implement a win-win strategy of opening-up and is committed to following through on its fundamental policy of opening-up. China will foster a business environment that is based on market principles, governed by law and up to international standards, and will unleash the potential of the huge China market and domestic demand, so as to give further impetus to global economic recovery and growth. President Xi's important remarks have sent a positive signal that China remains committed to deepening reform and pursuing greater opening-up at a higher level. They also speak volumes about China's strong commitment to achieving common prosperity with the rest of the world. As China's economy grows, the Chinese people naturally want to lead a better life. This will mean more demand for a greater variety of quality products, technologies and services from other countries. In the coming decade, total import into China is expected to top 22 trillion dollars. This, I believe, will be a strong boost to foreign companies, including American companies, as they pursue innovation and business opportunities. It also means an ever growing market for other countries around the world.

一個多星期前，拜登政府正式就職。中美關系正處于關鍵時刻，面臨新的機遇和挑戰(zhàn)，何去何從備受兩國人民和國際社會關注。推動中美關系重新回到可預期、建設性的軌道，構建和平共處、合作共贏的大國相處模式，是中美面臨的共同任務，也是世界各國的普遍期待。
More than a week ago, the Biden administration officially took office. China-US relations now stand at a key moment and face new opportunities and new challenges. People in the two countries and beyond are watching closely as to where this relationship is heading. It is a task for both China and the United States to restore the relationship to a predictable and constructive track of development, and to build a model of interaction between the two major countries that focuses on peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. This, I believe, also answers to the expectation of countries in the global community.

中國政府對美政策始終保持高度穩(wěn)定性和連續(xù)性。中方愿同美方共同努力，推動中美關系沿著不沖突不對抗、相互尊重、合作共贏的軌道向前發(fā)展，造福兩國和兩國人民；同時我們將繼續(xù)堅定捍衛(wèi)國家主權、安全、發(fā)展利益。希望美國新一屆政府順應兩國民意和歷史潮流，聚焦合作，管控分歧，推動中美關系回到健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展的正確軌道。我認為可以從以下幾方面作出努力：
The Chinese government takes a stable and consistent policy toward the United States. China is prepared to work with the United States to move the relationship forward along the track of no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation for the well-being of both countries and peoples. In the meantime, we will continue to stand firm as we defend our sovereignty, security and development interests. We hope the new administration will respond to the will of both peoples and follow the trend of history. By focusing on cooperation and managing differences together, the two sides will be able to return the relationship to the course of sound and steady development. For that to happen, I believe the following are most important:

一是正確認識看待中國。上屆美國政府對華采取了一系列錯誤政策，根源在于美方一些人對中國存在戰(zhàn)略誤判，將中國視為主要戰(zhàn)略競爭者甚至是對手，這是犯了歷史性、方向性、戰(zhàn)略性錯誤。中國發(fā)展的根本目標是讓中國人民過上更加美好的生活。中國堅持走和平發(fā)展道路，堅持互利共贏的開放戰(zhàn)略，真誠希望同包括美國在內的世界各國實現共同發(fā)展，共創(chuàng)人類美好未來。同時要強調，任何人都無權剝奪中國人民追求美好生活的權利，中國的發(fā)展壯大進程是任何勢力都不可能阻擋的。事實上，中美關系發(fā)展歷程充分證明，兩國完全可以也需要加強合作協調，實現共同發(fā)展，國際社會也呼吁中美開展合作。希望美方超越大國零和博弈的舊式思維，同中方一道，牢牢把握中美關系的正確方向。
First, China should be seen as it is. The previous administration has pursued some misguided policies towards China. The root cause, I would say, is a strategic misjudgment by some in the United States - they view China as a major strategic competitor, even an adversary. That, I am afraid, is historically, fundamentally and strategically wrong. China's development is essentially about bettering the lives of its people. China is committed to the path of peaceful development, a win-win strategy of opening-up, and a development that is shared by all countries, the United States included. We will work with other countries to deliver a better future for all. That said, I need to point out that no one is in the position to deny the Chinese people their right to a better life. The development of China is a process that no force can ever hold back. The growth of China-US relations has fully demonstrated that our two countries can and must cooperate and coordinate with each other more closely for our common good. That is also what the world expects from us. We in China hope that the United States will rise above the outdated mentality of zero-sum, major-power rivalry and work with China to keep the relationship on the right track.

二是恢復正常交往。中美關系發(fā)展史蘊含著幾十年來兩國各界人士相互接觸、交流、溝通和合作的執(zhí)著和辛勞，需要倍加珍惜。當前，中美恢復正常交往需要雙方相向而行，在政府層面上，兩國駐對方國家大使館等渠道可以發(fā)揮橋梁作用。兩國智庫、高校、媒體、地方、企業(yè)等社會各界也可以通過各種形式為中美關系增添更多正能量。希望美國新一屆政府取消那些滋擾中國在美留學生、限制中國駐美媒體、關閉孔子學院、打壓中國企業(yè)等錯誤和不得人心的政策措施，搬掉阻礙兩國各界交往合作的“絆腳石”。雙方要更多主動對外釋放中美合作的積極信息，增進兩國人民對彼此的正面認知，夯實支持中美關系發(fā)展的社會和民意基礎。
Second, normal interactions need to be restored. The growth of China-US relations is the result of decades of commitment and dedication by Chinese and Americans from all sectors to maintaining engagement, exchange, communication and cooperation. It is not something to be taken for granted. For normal exchanges to resume, our two sides have to work in the same direction. At the government level, our embassies and other channels should serve as bridges. Other players including think tanks, universities, media organizations, and businesses as well as exchanges at the sub-national level can also contribute in their own ways to bolstering the overall relations. I hope that the new administration will remove the stumbling blocks to people-to-people exchanges, like harassing Chinese students, restricting Chinese media outlets, shutting down Confucius Institutes and suppressing Chinese companies. These policy measures are not only wrong but also unpopular. Instead, more should be done to send a positive message of China and the United States working together, to encourage a positive public perception of each other and win more public support for growing our relations.

三是妥善處理矛盾分歧。中美是兩個大國，歷史、文化、制度不同，在一些問題上存在分歧，關鍵是要妥善加以管控，不能任由其干擾兩國關系發(fā)展大局。雙方應尊重彼此歷史文化傳統(tǒng)，尊重彼此核心利益和重大關切，尊重各自選擇的政治制度和發(fā)展道路。中國從不干涉包括大選在內的美國內政，從不對外輸出發(fā)展模式，從不搞意識形態(tài)對抗，從不尋求挑戰(zhàn)或取代美國的地位，無意劃分勢力范圍。美方應切實履行中美三個聯合公報承諾，嚴格遵守一個中國原則，切實尊重中方在臺灣問題上的立場和關切。美方應停止插手香港、西藏、新疆等涉及中國主權和領土完整的問題，停止試圖通過干涉中國內政來牽制阻撓中國發(fā)展。歷史和現實都一再證明，這些問題關乎中國的核心利益和民族尊嚴，牽動14億中國人的民族感情，是碰不得的，否則最終只會給中美關系和美方自身利益造成嚴重損害。希望美方充分認識這些問題的高度敏感性，慎重妥善處理，避免給中美互信合作造成干擾和破壞。
Third, proper management of differences is called for. As two big countries with different histories, cultures and systems, China and the United States may disagree on some issues. What matters is that we manage our differences properly so that they do not stand in the way of our overall relations. Both sides need to respect each other's histories, cultures and traditions, respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and respect each other's choices of political system and development path. China never meddles in the internal affairs of the United States, including its elections. China never exports its development model or seeks ideological confrontation. China has no intention to challenge or replace the US position in the world, or to carve out a sphere of influence. Likewise, we expect the United States to honor its commitment under the three Sino-US Joint Communiqués, strictly abide by the One China principle, and respect China's position and concerns on the Taiwan question. The United States should stop interference in the affairs of Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, which all matter to China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and stop attempts to hold back China's development by meddling in China's internal affairs. History and reality have shown time and again that these issues concern China's core interests, national dignity, as well as the sentiments of its 1.4 billion people. They constitute a redline that must not be crossed. Any trespassing would end up undermining China-US relations and the United States' own interests. We in China hope that the US side will fully understand the sensitivity of these issues and handle them with prudence, so as to avoid disruption or damage to mutual trust and cooperation.

四是開展互利合作。習近平主席多次講過，中美合作可以辦成許多有利于兩國和世界的大事。在疫情面前，中美能夠合作且必須合作的領域不是減少了，而是更多更廣了。中美雙方在抗擊疫情、經濟復蘇、氣候變化等領域擁有很大合作空間。兩國還可以探討如何共同完善全球公共衛(wèi)生體系。美方一些政客應立即停止借疫情對中國搞污名化，為雙方開展抗疫合作營造有利氛圍。
Fourth, mutually beneficial cooperation ought to be broadened. As President Xi Jinping has pointed out on multiple occasions, China and the United States working together can make great things happen not just for the two countries but for the world at large. In the face of COVID-19, there are more and broader areas where China and the United States can and must cooperate. COVID response, economic recovery and climate change, among others, could become promising areas of cooperation for China and the United States. We could also discuss ways to jointly improve the global public health system. Those few US politicians should immediately stop using the pandemic to stigmatize China. Instead, they should do things that will contribute to an enabling environment for bilateral cooperation against COVID-19.

在經貿問題上，中方強調，經貿問題不應政治化，“國家安全”概念不能被濫用。中方將一如既往歡迎美國企業(yè)來華經營投資，雙方都要為對方企業(yè)提供公平、開放、非歧視的環(huán)境。作為世界前兩大經濟體，兩國增長前景越廣，越有利于兩國人民和世界人民。中方愿同美方加強宏觀經濟政策協調，并就維護全球產業(yè)鏈供應鏈安全、維護全球經濟金融穩(wěn)定開展合作，助力兩國和世界經濟增長。
On trade, China emphasizes that trade issues should not be politicized, and the concept of "national security" should not be abused. China will always welcome US business investment in China, and it falls on both sides to provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory environment for each other's companies. Better growth prospects in the world's two biggest economies will bring greater benefits to our two peoples and the rest of the world. China is ready for closer macroeconomic policy coordination and more cooperation with the United States to keep the global industrial and supply chains safe and maintain global economic and financial stability. Such efforts would certainly help revive economic growth in our two countries and the world as a whole.

在應對氣候變化領域，中國全面貫徹新發(fā)展理念，堅定不移落實氣候變化《巴黎協定》承諾，宣布力爭2030年前二氧化碳排放達到峰值，努力爭取2060年前實現碳中和。中美可就氣候變化、開發(fā)新能源、推動低碳可持續(xù)發(fā)展等開展互利合作，在實現經濟社會發(fā)展的同時保護好我們的地球共同家園。
On climate change, China is committed to following a new development philosophy and delivering its pledges under the Paris Agreement. China has announced its goals of striving to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. For China and the United States, climate change, renewable energy and low-carbon, sustainable development could be areas of mutually beneficial cooperation, which I believe will serve economic and social development in our countries and help protect Mother Earth.

雙方應推進在兩軍、執(zhí)法、禁毒、網絡安全等領域的交流合作，加強在發(fā)展減貧、反恐、防擴散等重大全球性挑戰(zhàn)和地區(qū)熱點問題上的溝通協調，為世界提供更多公共產品。雙方還可以在聯合國、世界衛(wèi)生組織、二十國集團、亞太經合組織等多邊框架內加強合作，進一步完善和加強全球治理，推動全球化朝著更加開放、包容、平衡、普惠和共贏的方向發(fā)展。
There should be closer exchanges and cooperation between our militaries and in law enforcement, drug control and cyber security, and more communication and coordination on regional hotspot issues and on major global challenges such as poverty reduction through development, counterterrorism and nonproliferation. Together, we could provide more public goods to the world. We could also strengthen cooperation at the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the G20, APEC and other multilateral fora to enhance global governance and promote a globalization process that is more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial to all.

從歷史發(fā)展的趨勢看，中美關系的未來是光明的。只要雙方從兩國人民和世界人民根本利益出發(fā)，堅持相互尊重，求同存異，堅持有效管控分歧，擴大共同利益，中美關系就一定能夠走上改善和發(fā)展之道，造福于兩國人民和世界各國人民。希望美中關系全國委員會、各位成員以及美國各界人士繼續(xù)發(fā)揮積極作用，為中美關系的健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展貢獻更多智慧和力量。
The history of China-US relations gives us reason to be optimistic about a brighter future for China-US relations. We need to bear in mind the fundamental interests of people in our two countries and beyond. We need to respect each other, seek common ground while putting aside differences, keep disagreements under effective control, and expand common interests. If we follow this approach, I am convinced that the China-US relationship will embark on a path of improvement and development, a prospect that would benefit our two peoples and the entire world tremendously. We will count on the National Committee, all of its board members, and indeed Americans from all walks of life to continue playing your positive role and contributing your wisdom and strength to the sound and steady growth of China-US relations.
