Millions of jobs are sustained in China and the United States by the trade we do with one another. American consumers benefit from the goods made in China and daily the Chinese people rely on high quality U.S. products and services. And, as our companies make investments in each other’s countries, we are creating jobs for our peoples. Every year, the comprehensive Strategic and Economic Dialogue brings together policymakers from across both governments to discuss topics ranging from breaking down trade barriers to economic cooperation to collaborating on pressing regional and global issues. To meet the challenge of global climate change, the U.S. and China can build on a legacy of over 30 years of cooperation on Science and Technology issues.
我们彼此的贸易支撑着中国和美国数百万份工作。美国消费者受益于中国制造的商品，而中国人民每天都依赖于美国高质量的产品和服务。而且，当我们在对方国家投资的时候，我们为我们的人民创造工作机会。每年，全面的“战略与经济对话”将两国政府各部门的决策者汇聚到一起，商讨从打破贸易壁垒、到经济合作、到就紧迫的区域和全球事务展开协作等一系列问题。为了应对全球气候变化的挑战，美国和中国可以继续发展我们在科技领域30多年的合作传统。

Similarly, the United States and China share an interest in maintaining peace and prosperity around the world. Our defense ties extend back to World War II, when our soldiers fought and sacrificed together. Today, our defense interactions take place at the most senior levels, with the PLA Chief of the General Staff and the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff working to improve lines of communication and strengthen the U.S.-China military to military relationship. Perhaps our greatest security challenge is the existential threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons and materials, in particular from North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs. China has been a vital partner as chair of the Six-Party Talks, with a unique role because of its historic relationship with, and influence on, North Korea. The United States and China share the common goals of peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and North Korea’s complete and verifiable denuclearization in a peaceful manner. Our countries must also continue to work together to address the Iranian nuclear program. We have coordinated an effective dual-track approach — leveraging international diplomacy and sanctions — with the other Permanent UN Security Council members as well as Germany to send a clear message from the international community to the Iranian regime that it must live up to its international obligations. And the examples of shared security interests go on: from Afghanistan to Sudan.
同样，美国和中国在维护世界各地和平与繁荣上有着共同利益。我们的防务关系可以追溯到第二次世界大战，我们的军人那时曾一起作战牺牲。今天，我们有最高层的防务互动，人民解放军总参谋长和美国参谋长联席会议主席在努力改善沟通渠道，加强美中军方对军方关系。也许我们最大的安全挑战是核武器和核材料扩散所构成的生存威胁，特别是北韩的核计划和导弹计划。中国作为六方会谈的主席一直是重要的合作伙伴，并因之与北韩的历史关系和对其的影响力而发挥着独特作用。朝鲜半岛的和平与繁荣以及北韩以和平方式实现全面和可核查的无核化是美国和中国的共同目标。我们两国也必须继续在处理伊朗核计划上共同努力。我们已经与联合国安理会常任理事国的其他成员以及德国协调采取了有效的双轨方式——利用国际外交和制裁——向伊朗政权发出了国际社会的明确信息，即它必须履行自己的国际义务。关于共同安全利益的例子还有很多：从阿富汗到苏丹。

We may not always initially agree on exactly how best to achieve our shared objectives. But when we successfully work together we often find mutually beneficial outcomes that serve the interests of all parties. Think broadly about the contributions our nations have made to civilization. I recently visited the Diaoyutai guest house where four wood panels illustrate the Chinese contributions that defined the world for centuries: the compass, gunpowder, papermaking and the printing press. And in the United States, we take great pride in our contributions — such as the light bulb, the television, the personal computer, and the Internet, which has changed all of our lives so profoundly. From the flash of gunpowder to the light of electricity, from the printed page to a webpage, from navigating the waters of the globe to navigating the Internet, our two nations have contributed so much to the world of today.
我们也许不是总能够在一开始就对如何最好达到我们的共同目标取得完全一致，但当我们成功地一起努力时 ，我们经常能够取得满足各方利益的互利的结果。畅想一下我们两国对文明所作出的贡献。最近我访问了钓鱼台国宾馆，那里有四幅木板画，展现中国对世界数百年发展所作的贡献：指南针、火药、造纸和印刷术。在美国，我们为我们的贡献而倍感自豪——如电灯，电视，个人电脑，以及如此深刻地改变了我们生活方方面面的互联网。从火药引爆的闪光到电力带来的灯光，从印刷纸页到网页，从漫游世界水域到漫游互联网，我们两个国家对今天的世界贡献良多。
