This is to further promote a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship very important steps. President Hu Jintao and I are committed to promoting the common interests of both countries and in ongoing dialogue, I am happy. The President and I believe that relations between the two countries have a good start is important. Of course, as a new President and basketball fan, I have said from the Yao Ming in the Enlightenment, he said: "regardless of whether you are a new Member or veteran players, you will need time to adapt to each other. "Through our constructive meetings have been held and this dialogue, I am confident that we can meet the standards of the Yao Ming. Let me introduce will co-chair this dialogue United States-great leaders. Hillary �� Bill Clinton (Hillary Clinton) and Tim Geithner �� (TimGeithner) is and I contact the closest Adviser to two of them in collaboration with China have extraordinary experience. I know their dialogue partners to Deputy Prime Minister and Dai bingguo Wang Qishan, State capacity is extraordinary and deeply committed to dialogue.

I think that this reflects Jon for State service of firm commitment, as well as the two parties to develop a positive and fruitful relations with extensive and consistent support. Thank you, Jon, thank you for your consent to do the job. Today we are a witness of the last century historical building in a meeting. Here's a Woodrow Wilson �� (WoodrowWilson) President of the National Museum. He served in the early 20th century, at the time, the United States in the world just to shine. This building to Ronald �� Ronald Reagan (RonaldReagan) name. Ronald Reagan in the two world wars, he period adult as President of the United States Government in the period, to help usher in a new historical era. This building is also a symbol for decades displayed opposite the Berlin wall (BerlinWall) of a brick, the wall of final dismantling led the trend of globalization, this trend has continued to shape our world. 100 years ago, in the early 20th century, it is clear that there are two extremely important select wait for people to make on the borders and human rights. However, at the Woodrow Wilson era ��, who also unforeseen result in the collapse of the Berlin wall: the history, also could not imagine this history-specific conflict and unrest. From Boston to Beijing in the people around the world, the 20th century is the era of considerable progress, but in order to achieve this progress, also paid a heavy price. Today, we see the horizon of the new century. When we started this conversation, we need to think about the impact of those issues in the 21st century. For the current financial crisis and other events that lead to economic growth, stop, or we create through cooperation and sustainable growth, and help more people out of poverty for the world bring greater prosperity? is that demand for energy and climate change, leading to competition, or whether we through partnership-production of clean energy and protecting our planet? is that nuclear weapons proliferation, or endlessly we reached a new consensus, the nuclear energy solely for peaceful purposes? let terrorists incite conflict and Division to succeed, we unite all security? country and nation is rigidly adhere to different thinking, or we can find the necessary to deal with common challenges in common, and everyone should have of dignity? we cannot determine the undoubtedly expected in the future, but we know will affect the issue of our time. We also know: u.s.-China relationship affects the twenty-first century, therefore, its importance in the world on any kind of bilateral relations. Our partnerships must be based on this reality. This is our common responsibility. As we look to the future, we can learn from the past �� because history shows us that we both benefit from establishing in the common interest and mutual respect on the basis of contact. During my tenure, we will welcome the Nixon visit to China, the 40 anniversary. At that time, we are located is a now very different world. In just 30 years, the United States on East Asia hit three wars, and the cold war the impasse. China's economic isolation, a large portion of the population living in extreme poverty. /> At that time our dialogue built on a narrow, that is, on the basis of our respective competition with the Soviet Union. Today, we enjoy reflect growing between the two peoples to deepen ties overall relationship. To date, our interactions times more than isolated. People exchange field for multitude. I believe that we already have conditions at this time some of the most important issues has made steady progress. My confidence is based on the fact that the United States and China have a common interest. If we cooperate to promote the interests of our people will benefit from the world will benefit, because the capacity of our mutual cooperation is in many of the most pressing global issues on one of the prerequisites for making progress. Let me enumerate some of these challenges. First, we can make to lasting economic recovery in promoting common interests expand cooperation. The current crisis has shown that we have made in their respective domestic choice would trigger a chain reaction in the global economy-in New York and Seattle in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Therefore, we must remain committed to a strong bilateral and multilateral coordination. We return to growth through resolute action to prevent further deterioration and protect people's job opportunities and played a role model. In the future, we can deepen this cooperation. We can promote transparency and the reform of the regulatory system to promote financial stability. We can carry out free and fair trade and seeking to achieve an ambitious and balanced agreement in the Doha round. We can improve international mechanisms, so that China and other developing economies and play a bigger role and take on more responsibility. When the United States increased savings and increased consumption in China, our growth will have a more sustainable basis-as China benefited from the huge investment and profitable export, it can be a huge market merchandise in the United States. Secondly, we are able to clean, safe and prosperous energy future in promoting common interests expand cooperation. United States and China is the world's two largest energy consuming countries. We are the world's two largest greenhouse gas emissions. Frankly, we must expand cooperation, our two countries will be subject to greater foreign oil dependence, our people are suffering from the effects of climate change. This is basic common sense, it requires us to act together. Our two countries in taking measures to achieve the transformation of the energy economy. We work together, to a low carbon recovery; to expand cooperation in research and development to promote clean energy and efficient use of energy; also has the ability to work together in the Copenhagen climate change Conference (ClimateChangeConference) and other occasions to establish a global response programme. To enhance our security and prosperity and promoting innovation, the best way is to keep our market in the face of new ideas, new exchanges and new energy remain open. Third, we can work together to promote our curb nuclear weapons proliferation of common interests. There is no doubt: Mastering nuclear weapons, the use of nuclear weapons more likely. Terrorists seek nuclear bombs, or the outbreak of the nuclear race in East Asia, is inconsistent with the interests of the United States, as well as with China's interests. Because of this, we must continue to work together to achieve a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, and set out to North Korea, as long as they fulfil their obligations, they can walk on road safety and respect. It is precisely because of this, we must stand in line to stop Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, and urges the Islamic Republic to fulfil its international obligations. This is the spearhead of a country �� but requires all States to take responsibility. We must work together to protect the world all dangerous nuclear materials safety, this will be our next year to organize global nuclear Summit (GlobalNuclear Summit) is a key issue. We must also work together to strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation Treaty (NuclearNon-ProliferationTreaty), reiterates its basic premise: nuclear-weapon States should progress towards the objective of nuclear disarmament; non-nuclear-weapon States should not seek weapons; all countries should have a way of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. A situation of mutual deterrence could not be sustained. In the 21st century, only to a powerful, global systems, to prevent the world's most lethal weapons. Fourth, we can work together to enhance our responses to transnational threats common interests. Our most pressing threats no longer is the competition between the major powers �C but from indiscriminate extremists; from to profiteering at endanger the traffickers and pirates; from does not know borders of disease outbreaks; from breed instability and terror of repression and civil war. These are 21st century threats. Therefore, the pursuit of enhanced strength must not be treated as a zero-sum game. Progress �� including security, must be shared. Through our militaries have enhanced contacts, we can reduce the factors that caused disputes, while providing a framework for cooperation. Through the continued exchange of information, we will be able to thwart the terrorist plot to blow up and dismantle terrorist networks. Through the early warning and collaboration, we are able to curb the spread of disease. Through strong diplomatic efforts, we must deliver to the peaceful resolution of conflicts of responsibility �� firstYou can once again to end the suffering in Darfur, and to promote a comprehensive peace in Sudan. All the issues mentioned above are based on the fact that no country can alone face the challenges of the 21st century, no country can in fact be effectively promote their own interests. It is this fundamental fact prompted us to expand cooperation. I will not be unrealistic to think that United States and China will be able to reach agreement on all issues, or in the same way about the world. In front of several people who had already articulated speech. But this can only enhance the importance of dialogue �� �� allow us to deepen mutual understanding, openness to discuss our concerns. For example, the United States to China to help hundreds of millions of people out of poverty of progress expressed admiration. Just as we respect Chinese ancient and glorious culture and its outstanding achievements, we also believe that all peoples, religions and cultures should be respected and protected, everyone should be free to express their ideas, this includes China's ethnic and minority religious groups, of course, including the United States of ethnic minorities and minority religious groups. On human rights and human dignity of support in the United States. Our country is made up of immigrants from around the world. We have fundamental rights extended to the entire United States to protect our unity, and strive to make our United perfect. These rights include the expression of opinions, believe in God, the freedom to select leaders. These are the people we seek to impose anything, but rather our own national identity. This is a guide we communicate with each other and openness to the world. China form their own view of the world also has its unique experience. United States people understand Chinese history rich in tradition, because it's the world is also has an impact on the United States. We understand the Chinese people's talents, because they help to create the United States this great country. My Cabinet in two Chinese United States. We know that, although there are differences between us, but by understanding and a 13 million population, both ancient and dynamic links between countries, the United States will benefit from. These linkages can strengthen the exchanges between people and between constructive bilateral relations have been consolidated. This is our way of which reduce differences. Please allow me to speak: we know there are people who care about the future. China, some people think that the United States will try to curb China's ambition; United States of some people think that a rising China some terrible. I have a different view. I believe the President has a different view. I believe the future is: China is the international community a strong, prosperous and successful members; we will not only out of necessity but also opportunities for seeking to become a cooperation partner. The future is not necessarily the case, however, if we stick to what it is today is about to begin a dialogue, and we hear and learn of content, this should be the one to be able to achieve. Thousands of years ago, the great philosopher Mencius once said: "trails of qi, medium so if you don't use it but don't have the room road, Mao plug in. "Our task is to open up a benefit future generations of the road leading to the future, to prevent a lack of trust or unavoidable differences make the moment that path is blocked, to keep weeds that we are working together to complete the journey. This dialogue will help to identify the final destination-the journey. It shows us through lasting cooperation �� rather than confrontation �� to hold the promise of the new century. I look forward to in the first visit to China to further promote this effort, I want to gain a better understanding of your leaders, your people and your great country. I firmly believe that as long as we work together, we can follow the progress of the implementation of our steady on our people and our common future. Thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you.
