Remarks by Vice President Xi Jinping at the US State Department Luncheon

State Department of the United States

尊敬的副总统先生，尊敬的国务卿女士，女士们、先生们，朋友们：很高兴能够出席拜登副总统和克林顿国务卿共同为我和我的同事举办的午宴。

Mr. Vice President, Madam Secretary, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to attend this luncheon hosted jointly by Vice President Biden and Secretary Clinton, for me and my colleagues.

我此次是应拜登副总统邀请访问美国，是对拜登副总统去年8月成功访华的回访，旨在落实两国元首的共识、增进中美战略互信、拓展务实合作、深化人民友谊，进一步地推进中美合作伙伴关系建设。

Last August, Vice President Biden paid a successful visit to China. I’m now in the United States on a return visit at his kind invitation. The purpose of my visit is to implement the agreement between our two presidents, enhance China-U.S. strategic trust, broaden practical cooperation, deepen people-to-people friendship, and further advance the cooperative partnership between our two countries.

今年是尼克松总统访华、中美上海公报发表40周年，40年前两国的领导人以政治家的超凡勇气和远见卓识推开了尘封多年的中美交往大门。

This year marks the 40th anniversary of President Nixon’s visit to China and the issuance of the Shanghai Communique. Forty years ago, with the extraordinary courage and vision of statesmen, the leaders of our two countries opened the door of China-U.S. exchanges that had been sealed off for years.

40年来中美关系虽然历经风雨但始终向前发展，取得了历史性的成就，给两国和两国人民带来了巨大的利益。也有力地维护和促进了亚太乃至世界的和平、稳定和繁荣。中美关系已经成为当今世界最重要的、最富活力和潜力的双边关系之一。

Despite some twists and turns over the past four decades, China-U.S. relations have kept moving forward, scoring achievements of historic proportions. The growth of China-U.S. relations has brought huge benefits to the two countries and two peoples, and lent a strong impetus to peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large. The China-U.S. relationship has become one of the most important, dynamic, and promising bilateral relationships in the world.

饮水不忘掘井人，今天当我们共享中美关系发展成果之时要感谢为开创中美关系历史新局面做出卓越贡献的两国几代领导人，也要感谢为中美关系发展付出大量心血和智慧的两国各界的友人，包括在座的许多新老朋友。

As the saying goes, when you drink water, don’t forget those who dug the well. Today, when we enjoy the fruit of China-U.S. relations, we should be grateful to the generations of Chinese and American leaders for their outstanding contribution to the new chapter in the annals of China-U.S. relations. We should also be grateful to the Chinese and American friends from various sectors, including many who are present today, for the painstaking and resourceful efforts they have made for the development of China-U.S. relations.

奥巴马政府执政三年来中美关系总体保持积极发展的势头，去年1月胡锦涛主席访问美国并同奥巴马总统就共同努力建设相互尊重、互利共赢的中美合作关系达成了重要共识，为中美关系长远发展指明了方向，我们高兴地看到两国各领域务实合作不断深化，在一系列重大国际地区和全球性问题上的沟通协调富有成效。

In the past three years during the Obama administration, China-U.S. relations have, on the whole, maintained positive momentum of growth. In January last year, President Hu Jintao paid a visit to the United States. He and President Obama reached an important agreement on working together to build a China-U.S. cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit, charting the course for the long-term development of China-U.S. relations. We are glad to see that the two countries have further deepened practical cooperation in a wide array of areas and carried out productive communication and coordination on a range of major international, regional, and global issues.

今天上午，我在白宫同奥巴马总统、拜登副总统举行了会见、会谈。我们就中美关系和共同关心的重大问题深入地交换了意见，达成了不少新的重要共识，我们认为双方要始终抓住共同利益这一主线，走出一条大国之间和谐相处、良性互动、合作共赢的新型合作伙伴之路。为此双方应坦诚相待加强对话沟通，相互尊重增进战略互信，与时俱进扩大务实合作，面向未来密切人民的交往，加强协作应对挑战。

This morning, I had a meeting with President Obama and held talks with Vice President Biden at the White House. We had an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and major issues of shared interest and reached a lot of new and important consensus. We all believe that the two sides should focus on our common interests and open a new path of cooperative partnership between major countries featuring harmonious coexistence, sound interactions and win-win cooperation. To this end, our two sides should treat each other with sincerity and candor and enhanced dialogue and communication. We should respect each other and strengthen strategic, mutual trust. We should keep pace with the times and expand practical cooperation. We should look ahead to the future and step up people-to-people exchanges. And we should intensify coordination and work together to meet challenges.

我同奥巴马总统、拜登副总统着重谈了经贸问题，我们认为在国际经济金融形势依然严峻，中美两国都面临保增长、调结构、促就业任务的大背景下，双方应继续同舟共济共克时艰，加快建设全面互利的经济伙伴关系，维护两国和世界经济稳定复苏和增长。

President Obama, Vice President Biden and I devoted the greater part of our discussion on economic and trade issues. We share the view that as the international economic and financial situation remains grim and as ensuring growth, adjusting structure, and promoting employment are high on the domestic agenda of both countries, we must continue to make concerted efforts to tide over difficulties, accelerate the building of the comprehensive and the mutually beneficial economic partnership, and maintain steady economic recovery and growth in both countries and the world as a whole.

不断挖掘合作潜力打造合作亮点，推动两国贸易投资朝着更加平衡的方向发展。以对话协商而非保护主义的方式处理彼此经贸关切，努力维护中美经贸合作互利共赢的基本格局。

We should tap our cooperation potential, create more bright spots in our cooperation, and strive for greater balance in trade and investment between the two countries. We should address each other’s economic and trade concerns through dialogue and consultation, not protectionism, and uphold the mutually beneficial pattern of China-U.S. economic relations and trade.

我们还就人权等问题开诚布公交换了意见，我强调改革开放30多年来中国人权事业取得了有目共睹的巨大成就，但在人权问题上没有最好只有更好。中国人口多，区域差异大，发展不平衡，在进一步改善民生和人权状况方面还面临不少的挑战。

We also had a candid exchange of views on human rights and other issues. I stressed that China has made tremendous and well-recognized achievements in the field of human rights over the past 30 plus years since reform and opening up. Of course, there is always room for improvement when it comes to human rights. Given China’s huge population, considerable regional diversity, and uneven development, we’re still faced with many challenges in improving people’s livelihood and advancing human rights.

中国政府将继续从本国国情出发坚持以人为本、始终把人民愿望和要求放在心上，采取切实有效的政策措施大力促进社会公平、正义与和谐，推动中国人权事业不断取得新的进展。

The Chinese Government will always put people’s interests first and take seriously people’s aspirations and demands. We will, in the light of China’s national conditions, continue to take concrete and effective policies and measures to promote social fairness, justice and harmony, and push forward China’s course of human rights.

同时我们也愿在平等和相互尊重的基础上与包括美国在内的世界各国就人权问题坦诚地、建设性地对话和交流，增进了解，缩小分歧，相互借鉴，共同进步。

At the same time, we’re ready to conduct candid and constructive dialogue and exchanges on human rights with the United States and other countries on the basis of equality and mutual respect, with a view to enhancing understanding, narrowing differences, learning from each other, and achieving common progress.

中美作为世界上最大的发展中国家和最大的发达国家，建设新型合作伙伴关系是一项具有重要和深远意义的开创性工作，既没有先例可循也没有经验可鉴，只能如邓小平先生所言“摸着石头过河”，或者如克林顿国务卿所言“逢山开路遇水搭桥”，中国有句流行的歌的歌词是这样唱的：“敢问路在何方，路在脚下”。

China is the world’s largest developing country, while the United States is the largest developed country. To build a new type of cooperative partnership between two countries like ours is a pioneering endeavor with great and far-reaching significance. There is no precedent for us to follow and no ready experience for us to refer to. We can only do what Mr. Deng Xiaoping said, “Cross the river by feeling the stones.” Or what Secretary Clinton one quoted: “When confronted by mountains, one finds a way through. When blocked by a river, one finds a way to bridge to the other side.” A Chinese pop song goes like this: “May I ask where the path is? It is where you take your first step.”

我相信中美双方完全有智慧、有能力、有办法维护和发展好相互尊重，互利共赢的合作伙伴关系，为不同政治制度、历史文化背景和经济发展水平的国家建设积极合作关系树立前无古人但后启来者的典范。

I’m convinced that China and the United States have the wisdom, ability and means to maintain and develop their cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit. And by doing so, we’ll set an unprecedented and inspiring example for countries with different political systems, histories, cultures, and levels of economic development to cultivate positive and cooperative relations.

最后我提议为拜登副总统和克林顿国务卿以及在座各位朋友的身体健康、为中美关系40年来取得的巨大发展、为中美关系的美好明天干杯。

I now propose a toast to the health of Vice President Biden and Secretary Clinton, and that of all the friends present, to the remarkable development of China-U.S. relations in the past 40 years and to make even better tomorrow of China-U.S. relations. Cheers.

(祝酒)
