各位來賓，各位朋友：
Distinguished Guests,
Friends,

大家好！
Greetings to you all.

首先，我謹(jǐn)對本次論壇的召開表示熱烈祝賀，并愿向長期致力于中美關(guān)系的各界人士表示敬意和感謝。我還要感謝基辛格博士對此次論壇的支持，每次同他對話，都讓我感受到他對這個世界以及中美關(guān)系深入的戰(zhàn)略思考。
At the outset, I would like to congratulate you on the opening of the Forum. I also wish to use this opportunity to thank and pay tribute to the people from all sectors who have long been committed to China-US relations. I want to thank Dr. Kissinger for supporting this Forum. Every time I talked with him, I was most impressed by his profound, strategic thinking on the world and on China-US relations.

今天的論壇十分重要。因為就在此時，新冠肺炎疫情仍在全球肆虐，各國人民生命受到嚴(yán)重威脅，世界經(jīng)濟(jì)陷入深度衰退，全球合作遭遇強勁逆流，單邊霸凌行徑大行其道，國際體系愈發(fā)面臨失序的風(fēng)險。
Today's Forum is highly important. As we speak, COVID-19 is raging across the globe. People's lives are under grave threat. The world economy is in deep recession. The undercurrent against international cooperation is gathering momentum. Unilateralism and bullying are forcing their way in the world. An international disorder is more possible than ever.

更令人警惕的是，中美關(guān)系這對世界上最重要的雙邊關(guān)系之一，也面臨建交以來最嚴(yán)重的挑戰(zhàn)。美方一些人，出于意識形態(tài)的偏見，正不遺余力地把中國渲染成對手甚至敵人，想方設(shè)法遏制中國的發(fā)展，不擇手段阻礙中美之間的聯(lián)系。下一步，中美關(guān)系這艘已經(jīng)航行了四十多年的巨輪能否繼續(xù)保持正確航向，不僅與兩國人民利益密切相連，也關(guān)乎世界與人類的共同未來。
More alarmingly, China-US relations, one of the most consequential bilateral relationships in the world, is faced with the most severe challenge since the establishment of diplomatic ties. Some in the US with ideological biases are resorting to all possible means to portray China as an adversary, and even an enemy. They seek relentlessly to frustrate and contain China's development, and to impede interactions between China and the US. Will the giant ship of China-US relations be able to stay on the right course in the future after more than four decades of voyage? The question matters not only to the interests of the Chinese and American peoples, but also to the future of the world and humanity.

中美關(guān)系如何才能撥亂反正、重回正軌，真正實現(xiàn)長期健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展？我想重點談三點意見：
How to set things right and get China-US relations back on track toward long-term, sound and steady development? I would like to offer three observations.

?

首先，中美雙方不應(yīng)尋求改造對方，而應(yīng)共同探索不同制度和文明和平共存之道。
First, China and the US should not seek to remodel each other. Instead, they must work together to find ways to peaceful coexistence of different systems and civilizations.

每個國家所走的道路，都基于各自文化傳統(tǒng)和歷史積淀。中國堅持的中國特色社會主義道路，符合中國的國情需要，是中國人民自己的選擇。實踐已經(jīng)證明，這條道路不僅使14億中國人民擺脫了貧困落后，也讓中華民族再次為人類進(jìn)步事業(yè)作出了重大貢獻(xiàn)。國際民調(diào)機(jī)構(gòu)多次民意測驗顯示，中國人民對中國黨和政府的支持都高居全球榜首。任何勢力都沒有資格去否定其他國家選擇的道路，任何國家也都不會按照別人的好惡來改造自己的制度。歸根到底，制度和道路是對還是錯，應(yīng)該由本國人民來決定。
Every country takes its development path on the basis of its cultural and historic traditions. China's path of socialism with Chinese characteristics suits its own national conditions, and it is the choice of the Chinese people. Facts have proved that this has been the way out of poverty and backwardness for the 1.4 billion Chinese people, and that it has enabled the Chinese nation to make important contribution again to the progress of mankind. International public opinion surveys have indicated over and again that Chinese people's approval ratings of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the government rank the highest worldwide. No one has the right to rebuff the development path of other countries. And no country will remold its own system to the liking of other countries. After all, it should be the people of the country concerned to adjudicate whether their country's choice of system and path is right or not.

近年來有種論調(diào)，稱中國道路的成功將對西方造成沖擊和威脅。這一說法既不是事實，我們也不認(rèn)同。因為5000年文明孕育的中國從來沒有侵略擴(kuò)張的基因，我們不照搬外國模式，也不輸出中國模式，從不要求別國復(fù)制中國的做法。2500年前的中國圣賢就主張：“萬物并育而不相害，道并行而不相?！?。這是東方人的處世哲學(xué)，至今仍給世人以啟迪。美國人民也歷來把平等、包容、多元作為不懈追求。這個世界不應(yīng)非黑即白，制度差異也不應(yīng)導(dǎo)致零和。中國不會也不可能變成另一個美國。正確的態(tài)度是，彼此相互尊重、相互欣賞、相互借鑒、相互成就。改革開放以來，中國從發(fā)達(dá)國家學(xué)到了很多有益經(jīng)驗。同樣，中國的一些成功做法也對許多國家解決當(dāng)下的問題不無啟發(fā)。在這個豐富多彩的世界中，中美雖然社會制度不同，但完全可以并行不悖，和平共存。
One particular view has been floating around in recent years, alleging that the success of China's path will be a blow and threat to the Western system and path. This claim is inconsistent with facts, and we do not agree with it. Aggression and expansion are never in the genes of the Chinese nation throughout its 5,000 years of history. China does not replicate any model of other countries, nor does it export its own to others. We never ask other countries to copy what we do. More than 2,500 years ago, our forefathers advocated that "All living things can grow in harmony without hurting one another, and different ways can run in parallel without interfering with one another". This is part of the Oriental philosophy, which remains highly relevant today. The American people have long pursued equality, inclusiveness and diversity. The world should not be viewed in binary thinking, and differences in systems should not lead to a zero-sum game. China will not, and cannot, be another US. The right approach should be to respect, appreciate, learn from, and reinforce each other. In its reform and opening-up, China has learned a lot of useful experience from developed countries. Likewise, some of China's successful experiences have also been quite relevant for some countries in tackling their current challenges. In this diverse world, China and the US, despite their different social systems, have much to offer each other and could well co-exist peacefully.

第二，中國的對美政策沒有變化，我們?nèi)栽副局埔夂驼\意發(fā)展中美關(guān)系。
Second, China's US policy remains unchanged. We are still willing to grow China-US relations with goodwill and sincerity.

隨著中國的發(fā)展，有些美國朋友對中國懷有越來越多的疑慮甚至戒懼。在此我愿重申，中國從來無意挑戰(zhàn)或取代美國，無意與美國全面對抗。我們最關(guān)心的是提高本國人民的福祉，最重視的是實現(xiàn)中華民族的復(fù)興，最期待的是世界的和平穩(wěn)定。為此，中國的對美政策保持著高度穩(wěn)定性和連續(xù)性，愿意與美不沖突不對抗、相互尊重、合作共贏，構(gòu)建以協(xié)調(diào)、合作、穩(wěn)定為基調(diào)的中美關(guān)系。
Some friends in the US might have become suspicious or even wary of a growing China. I'd like to stress here again that China never intends to challenge or replace the US, or have full confrontation with the US. What we care most about is to improve the livelihood of our people. What we deem as the most important is to realize national renewal of the Chinese nation. And what we hope for most is to maintain peace and stability of the world. To this end, China has maintained a highly stable and consistent policy toward the US. And China stands ready to develop a China-US relationship featuring no conflict and confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation based on coordination, cooperation and stability.

而要實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，需要中美雙方相向而行，需要各自尊重國際法和國際規(guī)則，需要開展平等的對話協(xié)商。美國不應(yīng)指望一方面在全世界近乎瘋狂地圍追堵截中國、毫無底線地造謠污蔑中國、肆無忌憚地干涉中國內(nèi)政，另一方面又要求中國在雙邊和全球事務(wù)中給予美方理解和支持。中國，作為一個獨立自主國家，我們有權(quán)利維護(hù)自身的主權(quán)、安全和發(fā)展利益，有權(quán)利保衛(wèi)中國人民艱苦奮斗獲得的勞動成果，有權(quán)利拒絕任何對中國的霸凌和不公。
To achieve that goal, China and the US must work in the same direction, respect international law and international rules, and engage in equal dialogue and consultation. While the US unscrupulously encircles and smears China around the world, and meddles in China's domestic affairs, it should not demand unrealistically that China show understanding and support to the US in bilateral and global affairs. As an independent sovereign country, China has every right to uphold its sovereignty, security and development interests, safeguard the achievements that the Chinese people have made through hard work, and reject any bullying and injustice imposed on it.

第三，要正確看待中美關(guān)系發(fā)展的歷史經(jīng)驗，堅持走對話合作之路。
Third, it is important to have a correct view of the historical experience of China-US relations, and stay the course of dialogue and cooperation.

近來，美國國內(nèi)有人提出，過去幾十年的對華接觸政策是失敗了，美國在對華合作中吃虧了。這種說法既不尊重歷史，也不符合事實。
Some in the US have claimed that the engagement policy over the past decades has been a failure, and that the US has been ripped off in its cooperation with China. That is a comment that disrespects history and conflicts with the fact.

中美兩國二戰(zhàn)時曾是并肩作戰(zhàn)的盟友。上世紀(jì)70年代，雙方在尊重彼此不同制度的前提下重新打開建交大門。兩國對話合作走到今天，凝聚著幾代人的政治智慧和不懈努力，也反映了兩國關(guān)系發(fā)展的內(nèi)在規(guī)律和必然趨勢。
China and the US were allies who fought side by side during WWII. In the 1970s, the two sides reopened the door toward establishing diplomatic ties on the basis of respecting the different systems of each other. That our dialogue and cooperation have come a long way is attributable to the political wisdom and strenuous efforts by one generation after another. It reveals the inherent law of China-US relations, and also represents the trend of the times.

建交40年來，中美充分發(fā)揮互補優(yōu)勢，已經(jīng)形成相互融合的利益共同體。中國的成功得益于對包括美國在內(nèi)世界各國的開放合作，而中國的發(fā)展也為美國提供了持續(xù)增長的動力和巨大的市場空間。從處理地區(qū)熱點問題到反恐、防擴(kuò)散，從應(yīng)對國際金融危機(jī)到疾病防控，中美合作已經(jīng)辦成了很多有利于雙方、有利于世界的大事。
In the past 40 years and more since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and the US have made the best use of their complementarity, and their interests have become highly integrated. China's success is attributable to its opening-up to and cooperation with the US and the world. And China's development has provided the US with sustained growth impetus and a huge market. From regional hotspots to counter-terrorism and nonproliferation, from international financial crisis to disease prevention and control, China and the US have jointly accomplished many great things to the benefit of not only the two countries but also the world.

有人說，中美關(guān)系已回不到過去，但這并不意味著可以無視歷史另起爐灶，更不意味著可以不顧實際強行脫鉤。而是應(yīng)當(dāng)繼往開來，與時俱進(jìn)。大家可能注意到，即使在當(dāng)前疫情沖擊下，74%的美國在華企業(yè)仍表示計劃擴(kuò)大對華投資，191個農(nóng)業(yè)團(tuán)體聯(lián)名致信美國總統(tǒng)呼吁繼續(xù)執(zhí)行第一階段經(jīng)貿(mào)協(xié)議，多所美國大學(xué)公開支持加強中美教育交流，多國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人也呼吁中美加強溝通對話、避免對抗分裂。這些都是中美雙方應(yīng)當(dāng)傾聽的聲音，更是兩國共同努力的方向。
Some say that China-US relations will not be able to return to its past. But that should not mean ignoring the history altogether and starting all over again, let alone impractical decoupling. It should mean building on past achievements and keeping pace with the times. As you may have noted, despite the impact of COVID-19, 74 percent of US businesses in China said they plan to make more investment here. Recently, 191 agricultural organizations sent a joint letter to President Donald J. Trump, calling for continued implementation of the phase one trade agreement. Many US universities have openly expressed their support for closer China-US educational exchanges. And many global leaders have called on China and the US to increase dialogue and cooperation and avoid confrontation and decoupling. These are the advice we must heed. More important, they are also the goals we must work for.

各位朋友，
Friends,

習(xí)近平主席多次強調(diào)：我們有一千條理由把中美關(guān)系搞好，沒有一條理由把中美關(guān)系搞壞。只要雙方都有改善和發(fā)展中美關(guān)系的積極意愿，我們就能夠推動中美關(guān)系走出困境，重回正軌。我在這里提出三點建議，供大家參考：
President Xi Jinping has underlined on many occasions that we have a thousand reasons to make the China-US relationship a success, and none whatsoever to wreck it. As long as both sides have the positive will to improve and grow this relationship, we will find ways to steer this relationship out of the difficulties and bring it back to the right track. To that end, I want to make three suggestions for you to discuss:

一是激活和開放所有對話渠道。當(dāng)前美國的對華政策基于缺乏事實依據(jù)的戰(zhàn)略誤判，充滿情緒化的宣泄和麥卡錫式的偏執(zhí)。美方對中國的無端猜忌已經(jīng)到了杯弓蛇影、草木皆兵的地步。似乎每一項中國投資都包含政治目的，每一位留學(xué)人員都帶有間諜背景，每一項合作倡議都別有所圖。如果美國如此缺乏自信、開放和包容，人為制造各種“中國威脅”，最終很可能導(dǎo)致“自我實現(xiàn)的預(yù)言”。
First, activate and open all the channels of dialogue. The current China policy of the US is based on ill-informed strategic miscalculation, and is fraught with emotions and whims and McCarthyist bigotry. Its suspicion about China, totally uncalled-for, has reached a point of paranoia. It seems as if every Chinese investment is politically driven, every Chinese student is a spy, and every cooperation initiative is a scheme with hidden agenda. If the US lacks confidence, openness and inclusiveness to such an extent, and chooses to conjure up "China Threats" of various kinds, its paranoia may turn into self-fulfilling prophecies at the end of the day.

只有交流才能阻止謊言，只有對話才能避免誤判。抹黑別人證明不了自己的清白，一味指責(zé)解決不了任何問題。我愿重申，中方對話的大門是敞開的。只要美方愿意，我們隨時可以恢復(fù)和重啟各層級、各領(lǐng)域的對話機(jī)制。任何問題都可以拿到桌面上來談，任何分歧都可以通過對話尋求妥善處理。同時，只要美方不設(shè)限，我們也愿積極推動兩國各部門、各地方、各領(lǐng)域的交流互動，讓兩國人民更加相互了解、彼此認(rèn)知。
Only communication can dispel falsehoods. Only dialogue can prevent miscalculation. Slandering others does not clear one's own name, and finger-pointing cannot resolve any problems. Let me reaffirm that China's door to dialogue remains open. As long as the US is ready, we can restore and restart the dialogue mechanisms at all levels and in all areas. All issues can be put on the table. And all differences can be addressed properly through dialogue. In the meantime, as long as the US does not set restrictions, we are also ready to promote exchanges and interactions between government departments, localities and social sectors, so as to enable the two peoples to know and understand more of each other.

二是梳理和商定交往的清單。中美之間各種問題相互交織，錯綜復(fù)雜，雙方可以一起坐下來把問題捋一捋，形成三份清單：第一份是合作清單，把中美在雙邊領(lǐng)域及全球事務(wù)中需要而且能夠合作的事項明確下來，這份單子越長越好，而且不應(yīng)受到其他問題的干擾；第二份是對話清單，把雙方盡管存在分歧但有望通過對話尋求解決的問題列出來，盡快納入現(xiàn)存的對話機(jī)制和平臺；第三份是管控清單，把少數(shù)難以達(dá)成一致的難題找出來，本著求同存異的精神擱置并管控好，盡可能減少對兩國關(guān)系的沖擊和破壞。對于這三份清單，兩國的智庫可以先行研究。
Second, review and agree on the lists of interactions. Given the inter-connectedness and complexity of issues, it is useful for the two sides to sit down together, run over them, and draw up the following three lists: The first is a list of cooperation areas. It should specify all areas, bilateral and global, where China and the US need to and can work together. The longer this list goes, the better. Cooperation on this list should be immune to the impact of other issues. The second is a list of dialogues. It should itemize the issues of differences that could be solved through dialogues. They should be designated to the existing dialogue mechanisms and platforms as soon as possible.

三是聚焦和展開抗疫合作。沒有什么比生命更寶貴，沒有什么比救人更緊迫。我們對美國人民在疫情中遭受的不幸深表同情，已經(jīng)向美國提供了數(shù)量龐大的急需醫(yī)療物資。疫情當(dāng)前，合作為先。我們愿同美方分享防控信息和抗疫經(jīng)驗，在診療方案、疫苗研發(fā)乃至經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇等領(lǐng)域開展更加廣泛深入的交流。而美方應(yīng)當(dāng)立即停止將疫情政治化、把病毒標(biāo)簽化，并與中方一道推動全球抗疫合作，共同挽救這個世界上更多的生命，共同擔(dān)負(fù)起兩個主要大國應(yīng)當(dāng)承擔(dān)的國際責(zé)任。
Third, focus and cooperate on COVID-19 response. Nothing is more precious than human lives. Nothing is more pressing than saving lives. We have deep sympathies for the American people for their unfortunate experiences, and have provided the US an enormous amount of badly-needed medical supplies. In the face of the virus, cooperation should be the first-order priority. China is ready to share with the US information about COVID-19 prevention and containment as well as our response experience. And we are also ready to have closer exchanges with the US on diagnostics and therapeutics, vaccines, and economic recovery. The US, for its part, should immediately stop its acts of politicization and stigmatization. It should work with China to promote a global response to save more lives and live up to our international responsibility as two major countries.

各位朋友，
Friends,

中國有句古話，“行之力則知愈進(jìn)，知之深則行愈達(dá)”。作為世界上至關(guān)重要的一組雙邊關(guān)系，中美關(guān)系有待發(fā)出更多的積極信息，釋放更多的正能量。希望美方構(gòu)建更為客觀冷靜的對華認(rèn)知，制定更為理性務(wù)實的對華政策。這樣做，既符合中美兩國人民的根本利益，也順應(yīng)世界各國對中美雙方的期待。
There is an ancient Chinese axiom, which says, "Practice enriches knowledge, and more knowledge leads to better practice." The China-US relationship is one of the world's most important bilateral relations. There needs to be more positive messages and energy from this relationship. I hope the US will develop more objective and cool-headed perceptions about China, and a more rational and pragmatic China policy. This is in the fundamental interests of the Chinese and American peoples. It is also what the world expects from the two countries.

謝謝大家！
Thank you.
