Take a Long-term Perspective and Work Together for New Progress in China-U.S. Cooperation
Share

We hope that the United States will keep its security review of foreign investment open, fair and transparent, speed up the negotiation process on the bilateral investment agreement, and make Chinese companies feel more confident about investing in the United States.

Third, we need to expand cooperation and foster new growth areas in China-U.S. business relations. It is the common strategic choice of both China and the United States to promote industrial upgrading and economic restructuring as the two countries endeavor to shape their respective new growth models. I hope that enterprises from the two sides will seize the opportune moment of industrial restructuring in both countries and step up cooperation in such emerging sectors as clean energy, information technology, electric vehicles, new materials, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment and remanufacturing. By so doing, we will add fresh impetus to China-

U.S. business cooperation. We should encourage our enterprises to intensify cooperation in the construction and financing of high-speed rail, highway, ports, bridges, smart grids, sports and medical centers and livable communities, and strengthen exchanges in related technologies. I hope the Chinese and American business leaders present today will take a more active part in such cooperation. We encourage you to explore new ways and means of cooperation and translate opportunities into greater benefits.

Fourth, we need to work together to address challenges and strengthen cooperation in global governance. China stands ready to maintain and strengthen communication and coordination with the United States on global economic issues, such as fighting the international financial crisis, advancing the Doha Round negotiations and reforming the International Monetary Fund. We should play a responsible and constructive role as big countries and work together to tackle regional and global challenges, implement the positive outcomes of the G20 Cannes Summit, and contribute our share to the reform of the global governance system and steady and sustained growth of the world economy. The two countries should also step up communication and coordination on Asia-Pacific regional cooperation and build a pattern of cooperation between China and the United States in the Asia-Pacific featuring positive interactions and win-win outcomes.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thanks to reform and opening-up, China has enjoyed fast development and made remarkable achievements over the past 30 years. Yet China remains the largest developing country in the world. We have set two major goals for the first half of this century, namely, to build a moderately prosperous society at a higher level to the benefit of the more than 1 billion Chinese people by 2020 and to build China into a modern socialist country that is strong, prosperous, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious by 2050. To achieve the two goals requires an unwavering commitment to reform and opening-up, a stable domestic environment and a peaceful surrounding and international environment. We sincerely hope that the United States and the entire international community will appreciate the Chinese people's aspiration to get rid of poverty and make the country prosperous and strong, have confidence in the Chinese people's sincerity and resolve to pursue peaceful development, respect the great value that the Chinese people place on the country's sovereignty, security, territorial integrity and social stability, and support China's peaceful development in various ways. A prosperous and stable China will not be a threat to any country. It will only be a positive force for world peace and development.

Let us join hands and work together to promote long-term, healthy and stable economic relations and trade. Together, we will create a better future for China-U.S. business cooperation.

In conclusion, I wish this forum a complete success.

Thank you.
