第一篇:中美经济对话开幕致辞中文
一、大家早上好!很高兴来到这里,感谢习主席出席今天的战略经济对话开幕式,感谢他的代表团-刘延东副总理,王岐山副总理,国务委员杨洁篪,以及卢部长,他是我的同事。我还要感谢在美国的同事,感谢各位嘉宾以及来自民间的各位,请接受奥巴马总统和美国人民的问候,我们将以开放的态度在未来两天,努力取得实质性成果。两国人民期待对话推动两国关系发展。
二、我特别感激受到的盛情款待,这在我昨天刚到达时就感受到了。昨天,杨洁篪委员和我共进晚餐,我们之间的谈话坦诚而又真挚,我没记错的话是在18号会客厅,就是在那里进行了一次愉悦的谈话。这是中美战略经济对话的良好开端。
三、刘副总理给我非常特殊的待遇,亲自带我游览故宫-乾隆花园,花园正在修复中,乾隆花园已有230年的历史。故宫博物院和美国世界文化遗产基金会正开展合作,修复花园,以重现曾经的优雅和美丽。说实话,我们一行参观古老的故宫和花园的这一特殊待遇标志着中美两国人民期待携手合作的强烈意愿。
四、我希望大家能同心同力,在更多的领域展开共同讨论。我坚信这也是两国领导人的意愿,习主席和奥巴马总统一直以来希望两国能以务实积极的态度拓宽双边合作议程。习主席刚才也分享了他在加州安纳伯格庄园-阳光之乡进行会晤时的感受。
五、气候变化明确展示了对话的好处。七年前,我和在座一些人参加了哥本哈根的缔约方会议。美中两国当时在关键问题上立场相反,所以整个谈判以失败告终。谈判确实是失败了。但是过去三年来,我们一起努力,以开放的态度迎接所有可能性,共同研究细节,开展气候合作。最后,我们达成了具有里程碑意义的联合声明。两国元首在去年十二月宣布了减排目标。这些都是携手合作的成果。你们不知道有多少人跟我说过——我确信他们对谢部长也这么说——如果没有中美合作,巴黎气候大会可能无法取得实质性进展。所以我们一起采取有力的行动,几乎所有大国都会加入我们,一起履行气候协议,减少温室气体和气候变化带来的不良影响。最重要的是,可以向私企传递一个信息,鼓励他们加入我们。这是全球196个国家的目标——是我们前进的方向。市场信号表明将释放大量的投资,促进就业和增加机会。这一切都无法实现,除非我们共同领导、携手合作。
六、防止核扩散是另一个例子。我们一起谈判,促成《联合全面行动计划》,解决了困扰国际社会十年之久的伊朗核问题。我们一起消除了这一威胁,以促进中东稳定,避免核扩散。这个例子清晰地表明朝鲜当前的局势以及中美有必要坚定立场,通力合作。
七、正如你们所知,最近我们共同采取联合国安理会最严厉的对朝制裁,回应朝鲜持续违反过去达成决议的行为。我们必须对朝鲜施压,以制止一切危及其邻国的行为,以及危及整个地区和平稳定的行为。我们成功解决了伊朗核问题,树立了一个范例。最终我们也可以成功解决朝核问题。当今各国没有任何理由,不论他们所处的位置以及安理会的态度,去制造核武器。世界正朝相反的方向发展,我们需要展现出领导力,正如应对气候变化和伊朗核问题那样,才能获得成功。
八、2014年,我们共同努力遏制了埃博拉病毒的传播,终止了一场潜在的全球危机。人们曾预测一百万人会在两年前的圣诞节之前死亡。去年,我们一致行动,采取统一的全球发展和健康政策。现在,我们计划和非盟一起建立非洲疾病防控中心,时间是下个月初。
九、所以,朋友们,让我们一起让保护海洋,从现在做起吧。我们采取措施旨在建立更多的海洋保护区来防治污染。许多人问我“为什么国务卿和两个大国要一起致力于解决海洋问题呢?”因为地球上的生命依赖于海洋产生的氧气、依赖于海洋提供的食物。我们依赖于健康的海洋。我们的气候是由洋流等海洋运动形成的。所以今天晚些时候我和杨委员计划会见一个团队,我们将其称之为“蓝色先锋”。这个团队由学生组成,由中美合作基金会资助。这又一次展示了两国之间的合作越来越紧密。
十、我们会继续通力合作,禁止野生动物非法交易,全面禁止象牙买卖。
十一、朋友们,我们合作的领域还有很多,我不想一一列举。我期待我们能一道在未来两天的会议中达成这些领域的目标。
十二、目前,我们都知道,习主席说过——他早就想到这一点,并为我们提出了一些合理的解决方法,他说中美两国在一些领域仍然存在分歧,在一些问题上缺乏一致的决议。重要的是我们在此次对话中应有良好的精神,坚定的信念以建设性地解决这些分歧。无论是人权问题,海洋安全,公平贸易还是网络安全和政府透明方面都应如此。以战略经济对话为契机,让我们讨论分歧并寻求创新的方法化解分歧。正因为如此,我们能够在气候变化问题上化冲突为合作,只有这样我们才能履行各自肩负的责任,作为世界两大经济体,我们肩负着世界的期待和责任。
十三、因此,美国明确表明我们要寻求和平的方式来解决争端——如中国南海问题。我们不是申索国,我们也不会支持任何申索要求。我们反对通过单边行动解决这个问题;而是通过法律途径,通过外交途径,通过协商来解决。我们敦促各国采取外交途径,只有这样才符合国际准则和法律。
十四、最后,我们应牢记于心,要达成官方决议只有人民最有发言权——中国人民和美国人民代表着中美两国的基层,政府的目标便是满足他们的需求。尽管如习主席所说,我们有不同的制度、文化、历史。我们应当承认并尊重这一点。但是中美两国的联系不仅存在于官方层面,也体现在职场,学术界,科学界,音乐,体育以及两国人民日常生活中的点点滴滴。这才是两国关系健康稳定发展的标准,民之所望为施政所向。
十五、在去年的谈话中,刘延东副总理引用了一句中国古话:“万丈高楼平地起”。今天我想要传达的就是我们应当立雄心筑高楼。
十六、我知道奥巴马总统也有同样的雄心壮志,他明白战略对话的好处。在给习主席的信中他写道,战略经济对话之际,“我十分希望能够建立这样一种关系,提高两国人民的生活水平,让他们呼吸的空气更干净,使用的能源更环保,拥有的经济机会更丰富,孩子们的成长环境更安全。”
十七、作为外交官,我们都知道容易的是仅仅重复过去作出的声明,困难的是试着解决实际问题,缓解紧张局势。两国领导人启动这样的对话,是因为我们有无限的潜力,促进未来的发展与合作。可持续发展需要我们不断地问自己,是否能够做更多的事情或做一些改变,是否能够处理这些障碍,寻求新的机会,敢于发掘这些机会。
十八、最重要的是,我们不应该再用旧的思维模式,包括“冷战的遗迹”和僵化的意识形态,这会让我们朝错误的方向前进,会阻挡二十一世纪的发展潮流。习主席也提到,全球化的世界发展的比以往都快。的确是这样的。这也让治理更加复杂。让关系,尤其是让两大强国之间,两大经济体之间的关系更加重要。全球化的时代,需要合作而非冲突。
十九、在漫长的历史中,中国对世界贡献了很多包括艺术,科学,文学,哲学,尤其是近几十年来,在联合国安理会参与的国际政治发挥的作用。我也能十分骄傲地说在更短的期间内,美国这个非常年轻的国家,同样对世界贡献了很多,促进了全球秩序和结构的形成,并且肩负起了全球的责任。
二十、现在我们有机会来重新定义我们之间的关系。我们有责任,有义务领导全球的发展方向,促进世界的稳定繁荣与和平。这取决于我们和我们的继承者,要保证中美两国是伙伴,而非对手;多一点一致,少一点关于法治的争论;多一点共识少一点优先发展问题上的分歧;多一点自信,相信彼此能够越来越了解对方的意图。这就是我们建立互信的方式。
二十一、战略经济合作对话能够帮助我们履行彼此的责任,方式就是坦诚的交换意见,阐释各自的立场,表明相互的态度,寻求更多的发展空间,携手合作。我非常希望本次对话能取得积极有效的成果。
二十二、谢谢大家。
第二篇:奥巴马向第二轮中美战略与经济对话开幕的致辞
Statement of President Barack Obama to the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue
Beijing, China
巴拉克·奥巴马总统向在中国北京举行的美中战略与经济对话致辞
To the participants of the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue,参加美中战略与经济对话的各位人士
Last summer, I was proud to welcome many of you to the White House as our two countries launched this Strategic and Economic Dialogue.I want to thank President Hu, Vice Premier Wang, State Councilor Dai, and the entire Chinese delegation for their hospitality in hosting this year’s meeting.去年夏天,在我们两国发起此战略与经济对话之时,我曾自豪地欢迎你们中的许多人光临白宫。我谨在此感谢胡主席、王副总理、戴国务委员以及整个中国代表团盛情主办今年的会议。
I am pleased that our delegation in Beijing is led by two outstanding members of my Cabinet--Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner--and that they are joined by officials from across my Administration.我很高兴,我们在北京的代表团由本届内阁的两位杰出成员—— 国务部长希拉里·克林顿和财政部长蒂姆·盖特纳——率领,并包括本届政府各个部门的官员。
As I said when we began this dialogue, the relationship between the United States and China will shape the 21st century, which makes it as important as any bilateral relationship in the world.Together, we set out to build a positive, constructive, and comprehensive relationship, and we pledged to cooperate to advance our shared interests.That is what we have done.正如我在我们开始此对话时所说,美国和中国的关系将塑造21世纪,其重要性不亚于世界上任何一种双边关系。我们共同着手构建积极、建设性和全面的关系,并且承诺通过合作促进我们的共同利益。这是我们已经做的。
As two of the world’s largest economies, we have worked together, and with our G-20 partners, to sustain the global economic recovery.During my visit to China last fall, we forged clean energy partnerships, and at Copenhagen we made important commitments to confront climate change.作为世界上最大的两个经济体,我们一直携手努力,并与我们的G20合作伙伴一道,促进全球经济持续复苏。在我去年秋天访问中国期间,我们构建了清洁能源伙伴关系,在哥本哈根,我们作出了重要的承诺,以对抗气候变化。
To advance our common security interests, we are cooperating to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and regional nuclear arms races that would endanger us all.I was pleased to welcome President Hu to our Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, and I thank China for its commitment to establish a center of excellence on nuclear security, which will help achieve our shared goal of securing vulnerable nuclear materials around the world.为了增进我们的共同安全利益,我们正在进行合作,防止核武器的传播和危及我们所有人的地区性核军备竞赛。我愉快地欢迎胡主席出席华盛顿的核安全峰会,并感谢中国承诺建立一个关于核安全的卓越中心,这将有助于实现我们在全世界确保易散失的核材料安全的共同目标。
Over the next two days, our two countries have the opportunity to deepen our cooperation even further and advance the prosperity, health and security of our people.Together, we can promote economic growth that is balanced and sustained and trade that is free and fair.We can work to fulfill the commitments we made at Copenhagen.We can address pressing regional and global security challenges, including strengthening the global nonproliferation regime to ensure the rights and responsibilities of all nations.We need to improve communication between our militaries, which promotes mutual understanding and confidence.在接下来的两天里,我们两国有机会进一步加深合作,增进两国人民的繁荣、健康和安全。我们可以共同促进平衡和持续的经济增长及自由和公正的贸易。我们可以努力实现我们在哥本哈根作出的承诺。我们可以应对紧迫的地区和全球安全挑战,包括加强全球防扩散机制,以确保所有国家的权利和责任。我们需要改善我们两军之间的沟通,这方面的沟通能促进相互了解与信任。
Our two nations may not always agree on every issue, but this dialogue also allows us to communicate and understand one another better.This includes America’s abiding commitment to those human rights that are universal and to the dignity of all people.Indeed, we welcome our human rights dialogue with China, which we began this month and which I look forward to continuing.我们两国也许不能总是就每一个问题达成共识,然而通过此对话我们能够更好地交流和相互了解。这包括美国所恪守的对普世人权以及所有人的尊严的承诺。的确,我们欢迎我们与中国在本月初开始的人权对话,我期望它继续下去。
Across all these areas, our relationship with China is guided by the recognition that we live in an interconnected world.As I said during my visit to China while standing beside President Hu in the Great Hall where you gather today, one country’s success need not come at the expense of another.Our progress can be shared.Indeed, the United States welcomes China as a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations.我们与中国在所有这些领域的关系都基于一种认知,即我们生活在一个紧密联系的世界里。上次访华时,在你们今天聚集的人民大会堂里,我站在胡主席身旁说:一个国家的成功不需要以损害另一个国家为前提。我们的进步是可以分享的。的确,美国乐见中国成为一个强大、繁荣和成功的国际社会成员。
A truly comprehensive relationship, however, cannot be between governments alone.It must also be between our people.That is why my visit to China included a discussion with young men and women in Shanghai, and it is why we are working to deepen the ties between Americans and Chinese through educational and cultural exchanges.然而,真正的全面关系不能局限于政府之间,它还必须存在于两国人民之间。为此,我的访华之旅包括在上海与年轻人进行的一场讨论,出于同样的原因,我们正努力通过教育和文化交流加深美中人民之间的联系。
As you meet in Beijing, the people of Shanghai are hosting the World Expo, which reflects the strength and creativity of China and its people.There, at the USA Pavilion, the United States is proud to showcase the spirit that has always defined our country, including our belief that we can join with other nations to build a better life for our children.你们在北京相聚之时,上海人民正在举办世博会,它反映出中国及其人民的力量与创造力。在博览会的美国馆中,美国自豪地展示始终体现我们国家特色的精神,包括我们可以与其他国家携手为子孙后代创建更美好的生活的信念。
This is the spirit that brings our countries together in Beijing and the spirit that must guide our work as we deepen our positive, constructive, and comprehensive relationship.Thank you for participating in this Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and we look forward to welcoming you to the United States for our meeting next year and to continuing our progress.正是这种精神使我们两国相聚在北京,在我们两国加深积极、建设性和全面的关系时,我们必须以这种精神指导我们的工作。感谢你们参加此次战略与经济对话,我们期待欢迎你们来美国参加明年的会议并继续我们的进展。
Sincerely, President Barack Obama
顺致敬意

第三篇:第三次中美战略经济对话开幕式致辞(最终版)
第三次中美战略经济对话开幕式致辞
鲍尔森财长,各位同事:
我非常高兴在庄重典雅、具有中国古典建筑艺术风格的“中信国安第一城”欢迎鲍尔森财长和各位美国同事,并在此举行第三次中美战略经济对话。
一年前,我们在北京举行了首次中美战略经济对话,使胡锦涛主席和布什总统达成的创建中美战略经济对话机制的共识成为现实。一年来,在中美两国国家元首的密切关注和指导之下,中美战略经济对话机制日趋成熟,发挥着日益重要的作用,对中美两国经贸关系乃至整体关系的稳定和发展产生着越来越重要的积极影响,受到中美两国人民乃至世界各国的广泛关注。
首次中美战略经济对话的主题是中美两国的发展道路和经济发展战略,第二次对话我们重点就影响中美经济关系的若干热点问题进行了讨论,本次对话则是在更为广泛的经济全球化的大背景之下,研究中美经济关系的现状和未来的发展方向。我认为本次对话的主题“抓住经济全球化的机遇和应对经济全球化的挑战”,既有战略高度,又立足于现实的经济问题,顺应了当今世界经济发展的主流和趋势,反映了中美两国人民十分关注的重点问题,也体现了中美两国妥善解决经济关系快速发展过程中产生的矛盾和问题、深化合作的共同愿望。围绕这一主题,会议将探讨应对经济全球化挑战的政策措施、强化贸易诚信、加强在产品质量和食品安全领域的合作、促进经济平衡发展、加强在能源和环境领域的合作和改善投资环境。我相信根据这一主题,通过对重点问题的讨论,会议一定能为深化中美两国经贸合作、推进中美建设性合作关系的发展作出新的贡献。
借此机会,我愿对中美经贸关系未来发展和需要重点推进的几项工作提出建议:
第一,深刻理解中美两国既是利益攸关方,又是建设性合作者的重要内涵,理解中美经贸关系是中美总体关系的基础与纽带的重要意义。中美贸易额从1972年尼克松总统访华时几乎为零的状态,发展到今年有望突破3000亿美元大关,双方互为第二大贸易伙伴,中国连续五年成为美国增长最快的出口市场,这是中美两国共同努力的结果,凝聚着两国有识之士为双边经贸关系发展付出的大量心血。中美经贸关系的深化,直接造福于中美两国人民,使他们的生活水平不断提高。中美经贸关系是互惠互利的,这一关系的发展同两国政治关系、文化关系、科技关系等方方面面的发展密切相关、相辅相成。中美经贸关系在不断向前发展的过程中,推进了中美其他领域合作的发展,成为中美整体关系的坚实基础。当然,毋庸讳言,中美经贸关系快速发展的过程中,也出现了一些矛盾和问题。对于这些矛盾和问题,只能通过对话和磋商加以解决。中美经贸关系的历史发展过程反复提示我们,对话胜于对抗,协商胜于指责。我们要以建设性的态度努力解决好中美经贸关系中出现的问题,包括双方共同努力采取综合措施,逐步缓解中美贸易不平衡问题,并且通过化解矛盾、解决纠纷,将中美经贸关系不断推向新的高度,从而使中美两国既是利益攸关方、又是建设性合作者的关系具有更加坚实的经济基础。
第二,通过深化对话和磋商,强化中美战略互信,增进彼此理解和照顾对方关切。经济全球化的快速发展,中美经贸关系的不断深化,使中美两国人民经济生活的方方面面联系更加密切,形成“你中有我、我中有你、互利共赢”的经贸关系。我们均希望对方的经济能够不断持续地向前发展,从而使我们各自经济发展具有更广阔的对外合作空间。正因为如此,我们不能同意某些利益集团以一己之私利,损害互惠共赢的双边经济关系。我们坚决反对把经贸问题政治化,坦率而言,经贸问题政治化损害的不仅是对方利益,而且将两败俱伤。我特别关切美国国会迄今提出的50多项保护主义色彩浓厚的涉华经贸议案,我必须坦率地告诉鲍尔森财长和各位美国同事,这些议案如获通过,势必严重损害中美经贸关系。美国的企业家和美国的有识之士,已经认识到贸易保护主义倾向的严重后果和影响。我欢迎鲍尔森财长、古铁雷斯部长和施瓦布贸易代表于7月30日就美参议院财委会和银行委员会分别提出的有关议案联名致信美国国会,指出美国国会的行动“所起的作用适得其反”,并明确表示反对上述立法行动。我也愿提醒大家注意9月26日美国160家跨国公司和行业协会致美国国会的联名信。签署这封信的公司,既包括英特尔、微软、IBM、惠普这样的高科技公司,也有沃尔玛、百思买等大型零售店;既有花旗集团、摩根斯坦利、纽约人寿等主要金融机构,也包括可口可乐、宝洁、雪弗龙、通用电器等大型工业企业。联名信特别强调,对华贸易制裁只会导致弊大于利的结果。使用贸易保护主义做法,要求某一国家为美国经济自身存在的结构性问题承担责任,不仅无效,而且将损害美国的利益。我希望美国政府、美国国会和美国媒体,能够倾听美国企业的呼声,能够从美国的整体利益出发,顺应经济全球化的历史发展趋势,理解中美关系的大局和中美经贸关系互利双赢的性质,采取正确的经贸政策措施,确保中美两国人民能够从不断发展的中美经贸关系中获得更多实实在在的利益。
第三,妥善处理中美经贸关系发展过程中的新问题,化问题和挑战为深化合作的机遇,拓展中美经贸合作的深度和广度。中美两国经贸关系规模之大,涉及范围之广,牵涉各方面利益之深,已经使其成为当今世界最为复杂的经济关系。这就需要我们站在战略高度,用更高的智慧,更大的勇气,采取更加有力的政策措施,创造性地处理好在经贸关系发展过程中不断出现的各种新问题,把问题和挑战化为深化合作的机遇,为中美经贸关系的健康发展创造新的动力。当前中美经贸关系中出现的产品质量和食品安全问题,就是一个突出的事例。在经济全球化的大环境之下,产品质量和食品安全确实具有跨国境的全球性影响,这就要求相关国家增强合作意识,承担相应责任,强化有关机制,确保公众生活质量和安全。中国政府高度重视这一问题,成立了以我本人为组长的国务院产品质量和食品安全领导小组,在全国范围内开展了为期四个月的专项整治特别行动。同时,我也要实事求是地向美方指出,在强化产品质量和食品安全方面美国应负的责任。我注意到,美方也加强了相关的整治活动。我高兴地看到,在中美战略经济对话的框架之下,双方就这一问题进行了深入坦率的讨论,在加强互信和合作的精神指导下,磋商取得了实质性的进展。本次会议前,双方签署了《中美关于食品、饲料安全的合作协议》和《中美药品、医疗器械安全合作备忘录》,这突出表明我们双方对话和合作的诚意和效果。我还要指出,双方在环境和能源领域具有进一步深化合作的巨大潜力,我们要进一步扩大合作领域,争取取得新的合作成果。在中美经贸不平衡方面,我曾反复表明,中方不刻意追求大额贸易顺差,我们的政策是实现国际收支的基本平衡。解决好中美贸易不平衡问题,需要我们双方共同努力。我再次强调,美国应放宽对中国民用高技术产品的出口,这也是美国的国家利益所在。中国已连续五年成为美国出口增长最快的国家,美国在对华出口方面,仍有很大的增长空间,中国的政策是明确的,中国对美国产品敞开大门,关键在美方的政策。美方利益的实现,取决于美国自己对其政策的把握。我希望美方在这一问题上,能有新的思维,能够摆脱传统思想的束缚,从美国自身利益出发,扩大美国对中国民用高技术产品的出口,增加美国对中国市场的占有率。胡锦涛总书记不久前在中国共产党第十七次全国代表大会上宣布了确保到2020年实现全面建成小康社会的奋斗目标,其中包括增强发展协调性,努力实现经济又好又快发展,中国要在2000年的基础上,到2020年把中国人均GDP翻两番;建设生态文明,即基本形成节约能源和保护生态环境的产业结构、增长方式、消费模式。这是非常重大的政策宣示,表明中国的国内消费将进一步扩大,中国国内市场的空间将产生巨大的飞跃,中国的发展质量将进一步提高。中国对市场产品特别是环保产品的需求,将更加大幅度地增加。我希望我们的美国朋友,能够把握住机遇,通过中美双方的共同努力,使中美经贸关系逐渐趋于平衡。
鲍尔森财长,在中美经贸关系历史发展的关键时刻,我们将要举行的第三次中美战略经济对话具有特别的意义,我期待着通过本次对话,中美双方将深化经济全球化对中美两国经济影响的认识,在具体议题的讨论上取得重大进展,有助于中美经贸关系中出现问题的解决和矛盾的化解,坚定不移地贯彻中美两国国家元首关于中美战略经济对话的共识,推动中美经贸关系的不断向前发展,造福于中美两国人民。预祝第三次中美战略经济对话取得成功!
Opening Remarks At the Third China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue
Wu Yi
Special Representative of President Hu Jintao and
Vice Premier of the State Council
Dear Secretary Henry Paulson, Dear colleagues,I am delighted to welcome you to the Grand Epoch City, a garden city of classical Chinese architecture to attend the Third China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue.This time last year, following the agreement reached between President Hu Jiantao and President Bush, we held the First China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue in Beijing.Since then, thanks to the personal attention paid and guidance given by the two presidents, the SED mechanism has grown in strength.Attracting widespread public attention in both countries and the international community, it has played an increasingly important role in ensuring the stability and growth of not only China-US business ties, but also our overall relations.The First China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue focused on the Development Road and Economic Development Strategy of China and the United States.During the second Dialogue, we discussed key issues concerning China-US business relations.And we are meeting for this round of the Dialogue to review the current state of these relations in the broader context of economic globalization and look ahead at their future growth.The theme for the Dialogue, namely, Seizing the Opportunities of Economic Globalization and Dealing with the Challenges of Economic Globalization, is of both strategic and practical significance.It echoes the trend of the current global economic development, addresses key issues of concern to both China and the United States, and demonstrates our shared desire to resolve difficulties and problems that have occurred in the course of the rapid growth of bilateral business ties and deepen China-US cooperation.Under this theme, we will discuss such topics as policy steps to meet challenges posed by economic globalization, integrity of trade, cooperation on product quality and food safety, balanced economic development, cooperation on energy and environmental protection, and improving investment environment.I am confident that our discussions on both the general theme and specific topics of the Dialogue will help boost both China-US business ties and the growth of China-US constructive and cooperative relations.I wish to take this opportunity to discuss the future growth of our business relations and the priority areas we need to focus on..First, China and the United States are both stakeholders and constructive partners.We need to fully appreciate the important weight this relationship carries and the fact that business ties are both the foundation and a key area of the overall China-US relations.In 1972, when late President Nixon made his first visit to China, our trade was almost non-existent.By contrast, it is expected to exceed US$ 300 billion.China and the United States are each other's second largest trading partners, and China has been the fastest growing export market for the United States for five consecutive years.We owe such progress to the joint efforts of both countries, and we salute all the people in both countries who have worked so hard to build strong business ties between the two countries.The dynamic growth of China-US business ties has benefited our two peoples, making life better for them.Our business relations are win-win in nature.They are closely linked to our relations in the political, cultural, scientific, technological and other fields, and these ties are mutually reinforcing.The strong growth of our business ties has boosted our cooperation in other fields, thus becoming a solid foundation for the growth of overall China-US relations.In the course of the rapid growth of China-US business relations, some difficulties and problems have occurred.This is normal, and these difficulties and problems can only be resolved through dialogue and consultation.The history of China-US business relations has repeatedly shown us that it is dialogue and consultation, not confrontation and finger pointing, that have enabled the relations to grow.We should address issues in our business relations in a constructive way.We should make joint efforts and adopt comprehensive measures to ease trade imbalance and resolve disputes so as to further boost our business relations.And this will lay a more solid economic foundation for growing the relations between China and the Unites States who are both stakeholders and constructive partners.Second, we should strengthen strategic mutual trust, enhance mutual understanding and accommodate each other's concerns through deepened dialogue and consultation.Thanks to accelerated economic globalization, the growing China-US business relations featuring interdependence, mutual benefit and win-win progress have brought our two peoples increasingly closer to each other.We all hope that both our economies will enjoy sustained growth so as to create more opportunities to expand cooperation in the interest of our respective development.This is why we must not allow some interest groups to harm our win-win business relations in pursuit of their selfish interests.We must oppose attempt to politicize trade issues.Politicizing trade issues will harm the interests of not just one side, but both sides.I am particularly concerned about the 50 or so protectionist China-related bills introduced in the US Congress.Secretary Paulson and other American colleagues, I need to be quite candid about this: If these bills are adopted, they will severely undermine US business ties with China.I have noticed that the American business community and public figures with vision have seen the grave consequences of protectionism.In this connection, I welcome the joint letter sent by Secretary Paulson, Secretary Gutierrez, and Ambassador Schwab to the Congress on July 30th, concerning the bills respectively sponsored by the Senate Committee on Finance and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.Secretary Paulson, you and your colleagues rightly pointed out in the letter that these moves can only be “counter-productive”, and stated your explicit opposition to them.I also wish to draw your attention to a joint letter sent by 160 US multinational corporations and industry associations to the Congress on 26 September.The American corporations which signed the letter include high-tech companies such as Intel, Microsoft, IBM and HP, mega retail store chains such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy, Citibank, Morgan Stanley, New York Life and other major financial institutions and leading American companies like Coco-cola, Procter & Gamble, Chevron and General Electric.It is emphasized in the letter that US trade sanctions against China would only cause negative impact rather than a positive one.Obviously, to resort to trade protectionism and blame another country for the structural problems in the US economy is the wrong approach which would only harm the interest of United States itself.I hope that the US administration, the Congress and the media will heed the voice of the business community.I hope they will not lose sight of the larger interests of the United States, follow the historical trend of economic globalization, appreciate the importance of its overall relations with China and the mutually beneficial nature of our business ties, and pursue the right trade policy so as to enable our two peoples to gain more from the continuous growth of China-US business relations.Third, we should properly address new issues emerging in the course of the growth of China-US business relations, turn difficulties and challenges into opportunities for cooperation and develop China-US business ties in both depth and width.China-US business relationship is the most complex one in today's world owing to its huge scale, broad scope and the extensive interests of various parties involved.This requires us to view this relationship from a strategic height, demonstrate greater vision and courage, and adopt more effective policy measures to handle in a creative way issues that have occurred as our business ties expand.We should endeavor to turn difficulties and challenges into opportunities for cooperation, and add new momentum to the growth of our business relations.A case in point is the issue of product quality and food safety.As economic globalization gathers momentum, product quality and food safety have become a global issue.This means that the countries concerned must increase cooperation, assume their due responsibilities and strengthen related mechanisms to ensure the quality and safety of people's life.The Chinese Government takes this issue very seriously.For instance, the Leading Group for Product Quality and Food Safety under the State Council has been set up, and I am head of the Group.The Chinese Government has launched a four-month long nationwide campaign to improve product quality and food safety.At the same time, I need to point out frankly that the United States should also assume its due share of responsibility for improving product quality and food safety.I have noticed that the US side has intensified efforts to address this issue.I am glad that China and the United States have had in-depth and frank discussions on this issue within the SED framework.Acting in a spirit of enhancing mutual trust and cooperation, we have made substantive progress in the consultations.Before this round of the Dialogue, the two sides signed the Memorandum of Agreement on Food and Feed Safety and the Agreement on the Safety of Drugs and Medical Devices, which fully demonstrate our resolve to solve the issue through dialogue and cooperation and the progress made.I also wish to stress that there is enormous potential for further bilateral cooperation in the fields of environment and energy.We need to expand areas of cooperation and make new progress in them.As to China-US trade imbalance, I have repeatedly stated that China has no intention to seek large trade surplus with the United States.Our policy is to maintain a basic balance in international payments.To address China-US trade imbalance requires the concerted efforts of both sides.Here, I once again call on the United States to relax export control over export of high-tech products for civilian use to China.This is in your own interest.China has been the fastest growing export market for the United States for five years, and there is great potential for increasing US export to China.China's policy toward the US import is very clear, and its door is wide open to American products.The key is what policy the United States should pursue.Whether the United States can increase its export to China hinges on what policy it will follow.I hope the US side will change the outdated mindset and see the new horizon.My point is clear: Expand export of civilian-use high-tech products to China, and you can enlarge your market share in China.This is where your interest lies.At the recently-concluded 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Hu Jintao outlined the policy measures we will adopt to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects in China by 2020.We will promote coordinated development to ensure both sound and fast economic growth.We aim to quadruple China's per capita GDP of 2000 by 2020.We will promote a conservation culture.This means we will basically achieve the goal of making China's economic structure, model of growth and mode of consumption energy-efficient and environment-friendly.These policy steps have sent a very important message to the world: China will greatly expand its domestic consumption.This, in turn, will greatly increase the size of China's domestic market and sustain the balanced development in China.China's demand for products and particularly environment-friendly products will grow more rapidly.It is my hope that the United States will seize the opportunity and work in partnership with us to achieve eventual balance in trade.Secretary Paulson,The Third round of Strategic Economic Dialogue carries special significance as it is being held at an important stage in our business relations.I hope that through this Dialogue, we will gain a better understanding of the impact of economic globalization on our respective economies, and make major progress on specific issues on the agenda of the Dialogue.This will help us narrow differences and mitigate problems in our business relations, fully implement the agreement between the two presidents on the SED and grow our business relations to the benefit of our two peoples.In conclusion, I wish the Third China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue every success!

——在第二轮中美战略与经济对话开幕式上的致辞

Endeavor to Build a Positive, Cooperative and Comprehensive China-US Relationship for the 21st Century
--Address at the Opening Session of the Second Round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogues
by H.E.Hu Jintao, President of the People's Republic of China
Beijing, 24 May 2010
克林顿国务卿,盖特纳财长,各位来宾,女士们,先生们,朋友们:
Secretary Clinton,Secretary Geithner,Distinguished Guests,Ladies and Gentlemen,Dear Friends,第二轮中美战略与经济对话今天在北京开幕。首先,我谨对远道而来的美国朋友,表示热烈的欢迎!
The second round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogues(S&ED)opens in Beijing today.Let me first of all extend a warm welcome to our American friends coming from afar.本轮对话是在国际政治经济形势出现新变化、中美关系发展面临新机遇的重要时刻举行的。推动本轮对话取得积极成果,对我们两国都具有重要意义。希望双方围绕共同关心的全局性、战略性、长期性问题坦诚交流、深入沟通、增信释疑,推进合作。
The second round of the S&ED takes places at an important moment when new developments are unfolding in the international political and economic landscape and when China and the United States face new opportunities to further the bilateral relationship.It is of great significance for both of our two countries to achieve positive outcomes at this round of dialogues.I hope that through candid and in-depth discussions on overarching, strategic and long-term issues of mutual interest, the two sides will enhance trust and dispel misgivings, and further push forward China-US cooperation.女士们、先生们!
Ladies and Gentlemen,一年多以前,我同奥巴马总统在伦敦首次会晤,我们一致同意,共同努力建设21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系,为新时期中美关系的发展确立了目标。这以后,我同奥巴马总统多次会晤,特别是去年11月,奥巴马总统成功访华,双方发表《中美联合声明》,为中美关系发展提供了政策框架。中美本着同舟共济精神,合作应对历史罕见的国际金融危机,进行相关宏观经济政策协调,推动二十国集团领导人金融峰会取得积极成果,为推动世界经济复苏作出重要贡献。中美推动双边经贸关系向前发展,加强新能源、清洁能源、节能减排、提高能效等领域互利合作,夯实交流合作基础。中美就重大国际和地区问题保持沟通和协调,同各方一道推动妥善解决地区热点问题。中美同各方一道应对日益增多的全球性问题,为国际社会应对气候变化、大规模杀伤性武器扩散、重大自然灾害等挑战发挥了积极作用。
Over one year ago, President Obama and I met for the first time in London.We agreed to work together to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st century, setting up the goal for the development of China-US relations in the new era.Since then, President Obama and I have met on many occasions.During President Obama's successful visit to China last November in particular, the two sides issued the China-US Joint Statement, offering a policy framework for the development of our bilateral ties.In a spirit of solidarity, China and the United States have worked together to counter the extremely severe international financial crisis.We have coordinated macroeconomic policies and facilitated efforts to bring about positive outcomes at the G20 financial summits, making important contribution to world economic recovery.We have furthered our economic and trade ties and stepped up mutually beneficial cooperation in new and clean energy, energy conservation, emissions reduction and energy efficiency enhancement to solidify the foundation of our exchanges.China and the United States have maintained communication and coordination on major regional and international issues.We have worked with other parties to properly address regional hot-spot issues.The two countries have worked with other parties to manage a growing number of global issues and played a positive role in putting up an international response to such challenges as climate change, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and natural disasters.毋庸置疑,中美国情不同,双方难免存在一些矛盾和分歧,关键是要尊重和照顾对方的核心利益和重大关切,妥善处理相互之间存在的一些敏感问题,不断增强互信基础。
Admittedly, China and the United States differ in national conditions, and it is only natural that the two sides may disagree on some issues.What is important is to respect and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns, appropriately handle the sensitive issues and strengthen the foundation of mutual trust.女士们、先生们!
Ladies and Gentlemen,当今世界正处在大发展大变革大调整时期。世界多极化和经济全球化深入发展,国际金融危机影响继续显现,全球性问题突出,国际和地区热点问题此起彼伏。继续推进人类和平与发展的崇高事业,需要世界各国人民加强合作。中美作为联合国安理会常任理事国,分别作为世界上最大的发展中国家和最大的发达国家,无论是在推动世界经济全面复苏和可持续增长方面,还是在处理地区热点、应对全球性挑战、维护世界和平与安全方面,都面临着共同课题、肩负着重要责任。中国高度重视发展对美关系,发展长期健康稳定的中美关系,符合两国人民共同意愿、顺应时代发展潮流,也有利于亚太地区乃至世界和平、稳定、繁荣。The world is in the midst of major developments, major changes and major adjustments.The trend toward a multi-polar world and economic globalization is gathering momentum, the impact of the international financial crisis continues to be felt, global issues are becoming more pronounced, and regional and international hot-spot issues keep cropping up.To further advance mankind's noble cause of peace and development requires greater cooperation among people of all countries.As permanent members of the UN Security Council and the largest developing country and the largest developed country, China and the United States face common tasks and shoulder important responsibilities ranging from promoting full recovery and sustainable growth of the world economy to managing regional hot-spots, meeting global challenges and safeguarding world peace and security.China attaches great importance to its relations with the United States.To develop a long-term, sound and steady China-US relationship is a shared desire of our two peoples, accords with the trend of our times and contributes to peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region and beyond.——我们要坚持中美关系的正确方向。无论国际风云如何变幻,无论遇到什么困难、遇到什么干扰,我们都要从战略高度和长远角度出发,牢牢把握和精心维护共同努力建设21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系这一目标,培育战略互信,加强战略合作,妥善处理分歧,促进两国在双边、地区、全球层面的沟通、协调、合作。
– We need to stick to the right direction of China-US relations.No matter how the international situation may evolve and what difficulties and interferences we may encounter, we should always follow a strategic and long-term perspective and stick to and safeguard the goal of working together to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st century.We should foster strategic mutual trust, strengthen strategic cooperation, appropriately handle differences and step up communication, coordination and cooperation on bilateral, regional and global issues.——我们要尊重彼此核心利益和重大关切。主权独立和领土完整是国际关系基本准则赋予一国的最基本权利。对中国人民而言,没有什么比维护国家主权和领土完整更为重要。相信经历过南北战争的美国人民,不难理解统一对一个国家多么重要和珍贵。
– We should respect each other's core interests and major concerns.Sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity are a country's most basic rights recognized by the norms governing international relations.To the Chinese people, nothing is more important than safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity.I trust it is not difficult for the American people, who went through the American Civil War in their history, to understand how important and valuable unity is to a nation.——我们要尊重各国自主选择发展道路的权利。应该承认各国文化传统、社会制度、价值观念、发展理念等方面的差异,努力推动不同文明和发展模式取长补短、相互促进、共同发展,不应该以一种模式来衡量丰富多彩的世界。
– We should respect the right of each and every country to independently choose its development path.We should recognize differences in countries' cultural traditions, social systems, values and development concepts, and encourage different civilizations and development models to learn from and reinforce one another so as to achieve common development.It is not advisable to use one model to measure the perse and colorful world we live in.——我们要保持两国高层及各级别密切往来。充分沟通是促进合作的重要基础。再先进的通信技术也取代不了面对面交流。今年4月12日我同奥巴马总统在华盛顿会晤时,我们一致同意通过会晤、通话、通信等方式保持密切联系。我们也应该加强战略性对话和磋商,以加深了解、扩大共识、促进合作。
– We should maintain close interactions at the top and other levels.Full communication is an important basis for enhanced cooperation.Not even the most sophisticated telecommunication technology can replace face-to-face exchanges.In my meeting with President Obama in Washington on 12 April this year, we both agreed to stay in close touch through meetings, phone calls and correspondence.We should also step up strategic dialogues and consultations to deepen understanding, expand common ground and promote cooperation.——我们要发展互利双赢的合作格局。中美应该加强宏观经济政策协调,推动世界经济持续复苏。中美应该加强经贸、能源、环境、反恐、防扩散、执法、科技、教育、农业、卫生、质检等方面交流合作,积极拓展民用航空、高速铁路、基础设施建设、空间探索等新的合作领域,不断为中美关系发展注入新动力,让两国人民切身体会到中美合作成果。
– We should develop a pattern of mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.China and the United States should step up macroeconomic policy coordination and promote sustained world economic recovery.The two sides should increase exchanges and cooperation in such areas as economy and trade, energy, the environment, counter-terrorism, non-proliferation, law enforcement, science and technology, education, agriculture, health and quality inspection, and actively develop cooperation in such new areas as civil aviation, high-speed railway, infrastructure construction and space exploration.In this way, we will lend fresh impetus to the growth of China-US relations and enable our peoples to reap tangible benefits from China-US cooperation.——我们要加强地区热点和全球性问题上的协调。中美应该通过双边渠道和各种多边机制加强在地区热点问题上的沟通和协调,推进在气候变化、核安全、能源安全、粮食安全、减灾防灾、打击跨国犯罪、防治重大传染病等全球性问题上的磋商和合作。中美应该同国际社会一道,推动国际体系朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。
– We should strengthen coordination on regional hot-spot and global issues.China and the United States should step up communication and coordination on regional hot-spot issues through bilateral channels and multilateral mechanisms.The two sides should increase consultations and cooperation on such global issues as climate change, nuclear security, energy security, food security, disaster reduction and preparedness, fighting trans-national crimes, and prevention and control of serious communicable diseases.China and the United States should work with the rest of the international community to make the international system more just and equitable.——我们要深化两国人民相互了解和友谊。人民的相互了解和友谊是国与国关系发展的永恒动力和广泛基础。中美将建立人文交流机制,相信这一机制将为促进两国文化、科技、教育等领域交流合作发挥积极作用。双方应该支持两国青年交往,为中美关系发展培养后备力量。双方应该加强两国工商、学术、媒体等各界以及地方交流合作,在两国人民之间架起宽广的友谊桥梁。
– We should deepen mutual understanding and friendship between our peoples.This provides an enduring driving force and broad foundation for the growth of state-to-state relations.China and the United States will establish a mechanism of people-to-people exchange.I believe this mechanism will contribute to the cultural, scientific, technological and educational exchanges and cooperation between our two countries.The two sides should support youth exchanges so that the cause of China-US relations will be carried forward by the younger generation.We should also scale up exchanges and cooperation between the business, academic and media communities and between local authorities and institutions to build a broad bridge of friendship between our two peoples.女士们、先生们!
Ladies and Gentlemen,中华人民共和国成立60多年来特别是改革开放以来,中国的面貌发生了举世瞩目的变化。同时,我们也清醒地认识到,中国仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家,要全面建成惠及十几亿人口的更高水平的小康社会,进而基本实现现代化、实现全体人民共同富裕,还有很长的路要走。中国将继续坚持改革开放,努力使经济更加发展、民主更加健全、科教更加进步、文化更加繁荣、社会更加和谐、人民生活更加殷实。中国将继续奉行互利共赢的开放战略,按照通行的国际经贸规则扩大市场准入,支持完善国际贸易和金融体制、推进贸易和投资自由化便利化。中国将加快经济发展方式转变,着力扩大国内需求、增加居民消费,积极推动对外贸易健康平衡发展,反对各种形式的保护主义。中国将继续按照主动性、可控性、渐进性原则,稳步推进人民币汇率形成机制改革。中国将继续走和平发展道路,在和平共处五项原则的基础上同所有国家发展友好合作,不干涉别国内部事务,不把自己的意志强加于人,同世界各国一道努力,推动建设持久和平,共同繁荣的和谐世界。
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China over 60 years ago and particularly since reform and opening up, earthshaking changes have taken place in China.Yet we are keenly aware that China remains the world's largest developing country.We still have a very long way to go before we can fully build a moderately prosperous society of a higher level that will benefit over one billion people and achieve basic modernization and bring common prosperity to all our people.We will continue to pursue reform and opening up so that our economy will register greater growth, our democracy will be further enhanced, our science and education will make bigger strides, our culture will get more prosperous, our society will become more harmonious and our people's life will be better-off.China will continue to pursue a win-win strategy of opening up.We will expand market access in keeping with established international economic and trading rules, support the improvement of international trading and financial systems and advance trade and investment liberalization and facilitation.China will accelerate the transformation of its economic development pattern.We will make great effort to expand domestic demand and increase household consumption, vigorously promote sound and balanced growth of external trade, and reject protectionism in all manifestations.China will continue to steadily advance the reform of the formation mechanism of the RMB exchange rate under the principle of independent decision-making, controllability and gradual progress.China will remain committed to the path of peaceful development and pursue friendly cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.We will not interfere in other countries' internal affairs or impose our own will on others.We will work with all other countries to build a harmonious world of enduring peace and common prosperity.女士们、先生们!
Ladies and Gentlemen,建设21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系,是中美两国和两国人民根本利益所在,也是促进世界和平与发展的现实需要。让我们共同努力,不断开辟中美关系更为广阔的前景!
To build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st century is in the fundamental interest of our two countries and our two peoples.It also meets the need to promote world peace and development.Let us work together to open up even broader prospects for China-US relations.
