第一篇:奧巴馬上海演講英語(小編推薦)
Today, November 16, 2009, U.S.President Barack Obama at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and the Chinese Youth Dialogue, the following is the full text of Obama's speech:
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.I am very honored to have the chance to go to Shanghai to talk with you, I would like to thank Fudan University Yangjiao Zhang, for his hospitality and warm welcome.I would also like to thank our excellent ambassador Hongbo Pei, he is our strong ties between the two countries.I do not know just what to say, but I hope that he very well.Today I prepare such, do first a introduction, I really want do is answering here problem not only answered here student problems also available online get some problems from here some students and Hongbo Pei Ambassadors behalf questions.I am sorry, my English is far better than your English, so I look forward to a dialogue with you.This is my first visit to China, I saw the breadth of the country that you feel very excited.Here in Shanghai, we have seen remarkable growth, high-rise towers, busy streets, as well as entrepreneurial spirit.These are all signs of China entered the 21st century, let me praise.At the same time I am also eager to see us show the Chinese ancient monuments, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will go to Beijing to see magnificent Forbidden City and the breathtaking Great Wall, the country only has a rich history, there are high hopes for the future信念.The same is true of the relationship between our two countries and Shanghai in the history of US-China relations is meaningful major city in 30 years ago, the “Shanghai Communique” opened our two governments and two peoples and interact on a new chapter.However, the U.S.ties with that country can be traced back more distant past, dating back to the early American, George Washington organized the launching ceremony of the Queen, the ship successfully to the Qing Dynasty, Washington would like to see the boat go over the to forge new ties with China.Hope that China will open up new horizons, create new partnerships.In the subsequent two centuries, the history of our bilateral relations to a torrent in many different directions, but even in the most turbulent in the direction of our two peoples to build deep, and even dramatic ties, such as the Americans will never forget that during World War II, U.S.pilots shot down over China, the local people for their hospitality, Chinese citizens risked the danger of losing everything covered with them.And to participate in World War II veterans are still welcome return visit of the U.S.veterans, where they entered the war.40 years ago, we opened up between the two countries yet another link between the two countries relations began to thaw, thaw in the relationship through the table tennis competition.Between our two countries have differences, but we also share a common humanity and shared a common curiosity, like a ping-pong the same manner, that the state is the same, but has brought this small beginning of the “Shanghai Communique” come out, eventually also brought the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979.In the subsequent 30 years, we have made considerable progress in 1979 US-China trade 50 billion dollars, has now more than 400 billion U.S.dollars.Trade in many ways affected people's lives, such as the United States, many of the computer components, as well as clothes are imported from China, we export to China of Chinese industry to use the machines, such trade can create more sides of the Pacific employment opportunities for our people to lead a better quality of life.On the demand tends to balance the process, this trade could be a broader trade.Now we have active cooperation and the overall relationship, for our major global issues in the current partnership opens the door on these issues, including economic recovery, the development of clean energy to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, as well as climate change.Also in Asia and around the world to promote peace and stability, all of these issues I will be tomorrow's talks with President Hu Jintao talked about.In 1979, we linked the two peoples is very limited, and now the curiosity of the year table tennis can be established in many areas of the contacts can be seen, the largest number of students in the United States come from China.In the United States students, studying Chinese has increased by 50%.Our two countries, there are nearly 200 sister cities, American and Chinese scientists in many areas of research and discovery of new areas of cooperation, and our two peoples love of basketball, Yao Ming is an example.However, this line I can not watch Shanghai Sharks of the game was a little disappointed.So this relationship between our two countries has brought us positive changes, it is not accidental, the Chinese made hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, and this achievement is unprecedented in human history.China on global issues also play a greater role in the United States has also witnessed the growth of our economy.The ancient Chinese saying words,溫故而知新.Of course, we have encountered over the past 30 years, the setbacks and challenges, our relationship is not without difficulties, there is no differences.But we must certainly rival the idea should not be immutable.As the co-operation between our two countries, the United States and China have become more prosperous, more secure.On the basis of mutual interests, mutual respect can be accomplished.However, this depends on the success of contact we have to understand each other, to be able to conduct frank and sincere dialogue to understand each other.Just as the U.S.table tennis player said, we as human beings share a common desire, but our two countries is different.I think that our two countries each country should outline their own way to go, China is an ancient civilization, it has a profound culture.In contrast, the United States is a young country, its culture by immigrants from many different countries, the impact of the guidance document the impact of our democratic system, I have a very simple desire, on behalf of a number of core principles is that all The men are created equal, all have basic rights, and the Government should reflect the will of the people, trade should be open, the flow of information should be free, while laws to guarantee the fair.Of course, our country's history is not never been in difficulty, in many ways, for many years, we have been through the struggle to promote these principles, or is that all people can enjoy, in order to create a more perfect union, We also played a very painful civil war, a portion of the population we have been enslaved released, after a period of time to give women the right to vote, the right of organized labor, including immigrants from all over all of them can not accept it.Even if they were after the liberation of Africa and the Americans and the Americans through a number of separate, unequal conditions, over a period of time to secure full equal rights, all of these are not easy.However, these core principles of our faith we have made progress, in the darkest of the turmoil as our compass.This is why Lincoln said during the civil war to stand up in any one country to freedom, to the principle of equality of all human beings to the existence of long-term, that is why Dr.King at the Lincoln Memorial in front stood up and said that our country must truly want to the realization of our faith.That is why immigrants from China or Kenya can come to our home, and is the reason why a less than 50 years ago, before the vote in some places do not even have encountered difficulties, they now can do that country's president.That is why the United States never to the core principles around the world to speak, we do not seek to force any political system, to any country, but we do not believe that we support these principles are unique to our country, the freedom of expression, religion, freedom of worship, access to information, political participation, we believe that these are universal rights of all people should be able to enjoy, including ethnic and religious communities, whether in China, the United States and any country, for the universal rights respect, as the United States to other countries, the guiding principles of openness, we have respect for other cultures, our commitment to international law and the principle of faith in the future.All of these are you know some information about the United States, we have a lot to learn from China.We take a look around this great city, but also take a look at this room, I believe that our two countries are very important in common, that is, faith in the future, whether the United States or China, the achievements of the present can not be complacent.Although China is an ancient country, you are also confident in the future, is committed to next generation can do better than this generation, in addition to your growing economy, we are in line with China in science and research with regard to the power input , including the construction of infrastructure and the use of technology, China is the world's largest country in the use of Internet technology, that is, we are very pleased that the Internet is today part of the activities, the country also has the largest mobile telephone network, for new investment to maintain continued growth, and responding to climate change, there is new investment, I also hope that China would strengthen cooperation in this area.But even more important is to see the young people of your talent, your dedication, your dream in the 21st century will play a significant role.I have said many times, I think the world is interconnected, and we have done, we created the prosperity, we protect the environment, we seek security, all of which are common, and is interconnected Therefore, the strength of the 21st century is not a zero-sum game, the success of a country to another country should not sacrifice the cost.This is why we do not seek to contain China's rise.On the contrary, we welcome the international community, China, as a strong, prosperous and successful members.Go back to just saying, we should consider in the past.In co-operation, when a large country, it will collide with each other to obtain more than very good, which is constantly in the history of mankind the lessons learned.I think we should go beyond inter-governmental cooperation in the cooperation should be based on people-based, we have studied, and we are engaged in business, and we get access to knowledge, we have conducted, sports competitions, all of these bridges must be young people together to set up, which is why I am very pleased that we have to announce our big number of foreign students studying in China should be increased to 10 million people.Such an exchange would show we are willing to work to strengthen ties between the two peoples, but I am absolutely confident.For the United States, the best ambassadors, the best messenger is that young people who like you, great talent, full of vitality, the history of the future is still very optimistic, and this is the next step in our cooperation to benefit both countries and the world.Today can absorb one of the most important element is that we constantly move forward.Thank you very much.I am happy to ask questions.Incidentally, it is very common in the United States the tradition-to hold such town hall meetings, I now have to do is ask questions if you are interested, then please raise their hands, I would say ask you a question.I will from the audience here to ask a question, and then let the student representatives, as well as ambassadors from the Internet on behalf of Hong question.I will first look for a girl to find a male, back and forth so to find, let everyone know that I was fair.
第二篇:奧巴馬上海演講
Nong hao!Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good.(Laughter.)
儂好!諸位下午好。我感到很榮幸能夠有機會到上海跟你們交談,我要感謝復旦大學的楊校長,感謝他的款待和熱情的歡迎。我還想感謝我們出色的大使洪博培,他是我們兩國間深厚的紐帶。我不知道他剛才說什么,但是希望他說得很好。
What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.我今天準備這樣,先做一個開場白,我真正希望做的是回答在座的問題,不但回答在座的學生問題,同時還可以從網上得到一些問題,由在座的一些學生和洪博培大使代為提問。很抱歉,我的中文遠不如你們的英文,所以我期待和你們的對話。
This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.這是我首次訪問中國,我看到你們博大的國家,感到很興奮。在上海這里,我們看到了矚目的增長,高聳的塔樓,繁忙的街道,還有企業家的精神。這些都是中國步入21世紀的跡象,讓我感到贊嘆。同時我也急切的要看到向我們展現中國古老的古跡,明天和后天我要到北京去看雄偉壯麗的故宮和令人嘆為觀止的長城,這個國度既有豐富的歷史,又有對未來憧憬的信念。
The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China.It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.而我們兩國的關系也是如此,上海在美中關系的歷史中是個具有意義的重大城市,在37年前,《上海公報》打開了我們兩國政府和兩國人民接觸交往的新的篇章。
However, America's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence.In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China.This is a common American impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.不過美國與這個國家的紐帶可以追溯更久遠的過去,追溯到美國獨立的初期,喬治?華盛頓組織了皇后號的下水儀式,這個船成功前往大清王朝,華盛頓希望看到這艘船前往各地,與中國結成新的紐帶。希望與中國開辟新的地平線,建立新的伙伴關系。
Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from occupation.在其后的兩個世紀中,歷史洪流使我們兩國關系向許多不同的方向發展,而即使在最動蕩的方向中,我們的兩國人民也打造了很深的,甚至有戲劇性的紐帶,比如美國人永遠不會忘記,在二戰期間,美國飛行員在中國上空被擊落后,當地人民對他們的款待,中國公民冒著失去一切的危險保護著他們。而參加二戰的中國老兵仍然歡迎故地重游的美國老兵,他們在那里參戰。
A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one American player described his visit to China--“[The] people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.” Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communiqué, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in 1979.And in three decades, just look at how far we have come.40年前,我們兩國間開啟了又一種聯系,兩國關系開始解凍,通過乒乓球的比賽解凍關系。我們兩國之間有著分歧,但是我們也有著共同的人性及有著共同的好奇,就像一位乒乓球人員所說的一樣,那的國家就是一樣,但是這個小小的開頭帶來了《上海公報》的問世,最終還帶來了美中在1979年建交。在其后的30年我們又取得了長足的進展。
In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.1979年中美貿易僅有500億美元,而今天美中貿易已經接近4000億美元。貿易在許多方面影響人民的生活,比如美國電腦中許多部件,還有穿的衣服都是從中國進口的,我們向中國出口中國工業要使用的機器,這種貿易可以在太平洋兩岸創造更多的就業機會,讓我們的人民過上質量更高的生活。
In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and China was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with President Hu.在需求趨于平衡的過程中,這種貿易可以是更廣闊的貿易。如今我們有著積極合作和全面的關系,為我們在當前重大的全球問題上建立伙伴關系打開了大門,這些問題包括經濟復蘇、潔凈能源的開發、制止核武器擴散以及應對氣候變化。還有在亞洲及全球各地促進和平和穩定,所有這些問題我明天與胡主席會談時都會談到。
And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharks game while I'm visiting.1979年的時候,我們兩國人民的聯系十分有限。當年在乒乓球領域的好奇如今已延伸到許多領域,美國現在數量最多的留學生都來自中國。而在美國的學生中,學中文的人數增加了50%。我們兩國有近200個友好城市,美中科學家在許多新的研究領域和發現領域進行合作。我們兩國人民都熱愛籃球,姚明就是個例子。不過,此行中我不能觀看上海鯊魚隊的比賽,有點遺憾。
It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the United States has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion.我們兩國之間的這種關系給我們帶來了積極的變化,這并不是偶然的,中國使得億萬人民脫貧,而這種成就是人類歷史上史無前例的。而中國在全球問題中也發揮更大的作用,美國也目睹了我們經濟的成長。
There is a Chinese proverb: “Consider the past, and you shall know the future.” Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中國有句古言,溫故而知新。當然,我們過去30年中也遇到了挫折和挑戰,我們的關系并不是沒有困難的,沒有分歧的。“但是我們必須一定是對手”的這種想法不應該是一成不變的。由于我們兩國的合作,美中兩國都變得更加繁榮、更加安全。我們基于相互的利益、相互的尊重就能有成就。
And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that American table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.不過,這種接觸的成功要取決于我們要彼此了解,要能夠進行開誠布公的對話,彼此進行了解。就像當年美國乒乓球運動員所說的,我們作為人有著共同的向往,但是我們兩國又不同。

I believe that each country must chart its own course.China iswith a deeply rooted culture.The United States, by comparison,whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our dem
Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs,several core principles--that all men and women are created ecertain fundamental rights;that government should reflect theand respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, inaccessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantadministration of justice.Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapt--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promiseto all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We foughtwar, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organimmigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embrthey were freed, African Americans persevered through conditiseparate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our bprinciples, which have served as our compass through the darkis why Lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declasee whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and ”dedicated to tall men are created equal" could long endure.That is why Dr.Martin Luther King could stand on the steps of thand ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.immigrants from China to Kenya could find a home on our shoreis available to all who would work for it;and why someone like50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of Amto serve as its President.And that is why America will always speak out for these core prworld.We do not seek to impose any system of government onbut we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for anation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and reliwhether they are in the United States, China, or any nation.Inrespect for universal rights that guides America's openness to orespect for different cultures;our commitment to international lathe future.These are all things that you should know about America.I also much to learn about China.Looking around at this magnificent around this room--I do believe that our nations hold somethincommon, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the United Scontent to rest on our achievements.For while China is an anciealso clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commtomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraocommitment to science and research--a commitment borne ofrom the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.Chworld's largest Internet user--which is why we were so pleaseInternet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone networkin the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and cochange--and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnershiUnited States and China in this critical area tomorrow.But abovfuture in you--young people whose talent and dedication and much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundainterconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the enprotect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shareinterconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the United States insists we do not seek to contathe contrary, we welcome China as a strong and prosperous anmember of the community of nations--a China that draws on thand creativity of individual Chinese like you.To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that mowhen great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of tour nations.And I believe strongly that cooperation must go begovernment.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies wbusiness that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in play.And these bridges must be built by young men and womeyour counterparts in America.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will dthe number of our students who study in China to 100,000.Anmark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surdetermine the destiny of the 21st century.And I'm absolutely cAmerica has no better ambassadors to offer than our young peolike you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about thto be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperationnations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can takdialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialog

Good afternoon.It is a great honor for me to be here in shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you.I'd like to thank fudan university's president yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome.I'd also like to thank our outstanding ambassador, jon huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations.I don't know what he said, but i hope it was good.(laughter.)
What i'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what i'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by ambassador huntsman.And i am very sorry that my chinese is not as good as your english, but i am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to china, and i'm excited to see this majestic country.Here, in shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world--the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity.And just as i'm impressed by these signs of china's journey to the 21st century, i'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from china's distant past.Tomorrow and the next day i hope to have a chance when i'm in beijing to see the majesty of the forbidden city and the wonder of the great wall.Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the united states and china.It was here, 37 years ago, that the shanghai communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, america's ties to this city--and to this country--stretch back further, to the earliest days of america's independence.In 1784, our founding father, george washington, commissioned the empress of china, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the qing dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like china.This is a common american impulse--the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions.And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.For instance, americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during world war ii, and cared for by chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so.And chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those american veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate china from occupation.A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis.The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success--because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed.As one american player described his visit to china--“[the]people are just like us…The country is very similar to america, but still very different.”
of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the shanghai communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the united states and china in 1979.and in three decades, just look at how far we have come.In 1979, trade between the united states and china stood at roughly $5 billion--today it tops over $400 billion each year.The commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways.America imports from china many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear;and we export to china machinery that helps power your industry.This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life.And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.In 1979, the political cooperation between the united states and china was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the soviet union.Today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time--economic recovery and the development of clean energy;stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change;the promotion of peace and security in asia and around the globe.All of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when i meet with president hu.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited.Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.The second highest number of foreign students in the united states come from china, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of chinese among our own students.There are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together.American and chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, yao ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball--i'm only sorry that i won't be able to see a shanghai sharks game while i'm visiting.It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change.China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty--an accomplishment unparalleled in human history--while playing a larger role in global events.And the united states has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the cold war to a successful conclusion.There is a chinese proverb: “consider the past, and you shall know the future.” surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years.Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined--not when we consider the past.Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the united states and china are more prosperous and more secure.We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding--on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.For just as that american table tennis player pointed out--we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course.China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture.The united states, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles--that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights;that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes;that commerce should be open, information freely accessible;and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways--over many years--we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union.We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery.It took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced.Even after they were freed, african americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy.But we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms.That is why lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” could long endure.That is why dr.Martin luther king could stand on the steps of the lincoln memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed.That's why immigrants from china to kenya could find a home on our shores;why opportunity is available to all who would work for it;and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of america, is now able to serve as its president.And that is why america will always speak out for these core principles around the world.We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation.These freedoms of expression and worship--of access to information and political participation--we believe are universal rights.They should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities--whether they are in the united states, china, or any nation.Indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides america's openness to other countries;our respect for different cultures;our commitment to international law;and our faith in the future.These are all things that you should know about america.I also know that we have much to learn about china.Looking around at this magnificent city--and looking around this room--i do believe that our nations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in the future.Neither the united states nor china is content to rest on our achievements.For while china is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire china's extraordinary commitment to science and research--a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest internet user--which is why we were so pleased to include the internet as a part of today's event.This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change--and i'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the united states and china in this critical area tomorrow.But above all, i see china's future in you--young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that i believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected.The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek--all of these things are shared.And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game;one country's success need not come at the expense of another.And that is why the united states insists we do not seek to contain china's rise.On the contrary, we welcome china as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations--a china that draws on the rights, strengths and creativity of individual chinese like you.To return to the proverb--consider the past.We know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide.That is a lesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations.And i believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government.It must be rooted in our people--in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play.And these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in america.That's why i'm pleased to announce that the united states will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in china to 100,000.and these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century.And i'm absolutely confident that america has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people.For they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world.And if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, i hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.So thank you very much.And i look forward now to taking some questions from all of you.Thank you very much.
