"U.S. President Barack Obama in Shanghai and the Chinese Youth Dialogue" Presentation

Hello. Good afternoon. I am very honored to have the opportunity to Shanghai to talk with you, I would like to thank Professor Yang Fudan University, for his hospitality and warm welcome. I would also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador Jon Huntsman, who is deep ties between our two countries. I do not know what he said, but I hope it was good.

Today I prepare such, do an introduction, I really want to do is answer the question here, not only to answer the question of students here, and also available online to get some problems from here some of the students and Ambassador Huntsman. 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, was very excited. Here in Shanghai, we have seen remarkable growth, soaring skyscrapers, busy streets, as well as entrepreneurial spirit. These are all signs of China entered the 21st century, I'm impressed. I also eager to see us show the Chinese ancient monuments, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I'm going to Beijing to see the magnificent Forbidden City and the breathtaking Great Wall, the country only has a rich history, there are hopes for the future beliefs.

The same is true of the relationship between our two countries, Shanghai in the history of US-China relations is a city that has great meaning, 30 years ago, the "Shanghai Communique" opened our two governments and two peoples and interact on a new chapter.

But the U.S. ties with this country can be traced back more distant past, dating back to the early American, George - George Washington, Queen's launching ceremony, the ship successfully to the Qing Dynasty, Washington would like to see the boat go over to forge new ties with China. Hope that China will open up new horizons, create new partnership. 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, during World War II, U.S. pilots shot down over China, local people for their hospitality, Chinese citizens risked danger of losing everything covered with them.

The veterans of that war are still welcome return visit of the U.S. veterans, where they fought. 40 years ago, we opened up between the two kind of connection, bilateral relations began to thaw, thaw in the relationship through the game of table tennis. Our two countries have differences, but we also share a common humanity and our shared curiosity, like a table tennis athlete, when the state is the same, but the small opening of the "Shanghai Communique" , and the eventual brought the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979. In the subsequent 30 years we have made considerable progress in US-China trade in 1979, only 50 million, now has 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 industry to use the machine, such trade can create more sides of the Pacific employment opportunities for our people a better quality of life.

Demand becomes more balanced process, it can lead to broader trade. Now we have active cooperation and full of the relationship, as we Zai current major global issues opens the door to establish Huoban relationship Da, the economic recovery and the, clean energy's Kai Fa, Zhi Zhi Ying Dui proliferation of nuclear weapons and climate change. Also in Asia and around the world to promote peace and stability, all of these issues with President Hu talks tomorrow I will be talking 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 that the largest number of students in the United States come from China. In the United States students, studying Chinese has increased by 50%. There are nearly 200 sister cities, American and Chinese scientists in many areas of research and discovery of new fields of cooperation, and our shared love of basketball, Yao Ming is an example. However, this line I can not see Shanghai Sharks game, was a little disappointed.

So the relationship between our two countries has brought us positive changes, it is not by chance, 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, the U.S. has seen our economy grow. The ancient Chinese words, Reviewing the Old. Of course, we have encountered over the past 30 years, the setbacks and challenges, our relationship is not without difficulty, no differences. But we must certainly rival the idea should not be static. Because of our cooperation, the United States and China have become more prosperous, more secure. On the basis of mutual interests, mutual respect can be accomplished.

However, the success of that engagement depends upon mutual understanding, to be able to open dialogue, understand each other. Just as the U.S. table tennis player said, we as human beings share a common desire, but our countries are different. I think that each country must chart its own course, China is an ancient, deeply rooted culture. In contrast, the United States is a young country, its culture by immigrants from many different countries, the impact of the guidance documents of our democracy, I have a simple vision, 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 is not without its difficult places, from many aspects of speaking, many years, it is through the struggle to Cujin these principles or Suoyou the people can enjoy, Weile to create a more perfect Lianhe, we fought a very bitter civil war, a portion of our population from slavery released, after a period of time to give women the right to vote, the right of organized labor, including immigrants from all over to be fully embraced. Even if they were freed, African-American people and the Americans through the number of separate, unequal conditions, over a period of time to secure full and equal rights, all of which is not easy. However, these core principles of our faith in the progress we have made, in the darkest of storms as our compass.

This is why Lincoln said during the civil war to stand up, any one country to freedom, to the principle of equality of all human existence of long, that is why the King at the Lincoln Memorial in front stood up and said that our country must truly want to achieve our belief. That is why the immigrants from China to Kenya can come to our home, and also why a less than 50 years ago in some areas have had trouble voting in person, now able to serve as president.

That is why the United States never to speak the core principles around the world, we do not seek to enforce any political system to any country, but we do not believe that we support the principles that our country unique in the freedom of expression, religion, freedom of worship, access to information and political participation, we believe that these are universal rights, should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious communities, whether in China, the United States and any country, for 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 about America, we have much to learn from China. We take a look around this great city, but also take a look at this room, I believe we have something important in common between the two countries, that is, faith in the future, no matter is the United States or China, the achievements of the can not be complacent. Although China is an ancient country, you are also confident in future, is committed the next generation of Nenggou do better than this generation, in addition to your growing economy, we are with China in science and research to the power input , including the construction of infrastructure and the use of technology, China is the world's largest Internet user country, that is, we are pleased that the Internet is today part of the activities, this country has the largest mobile phone network, for new investment to maintain continued growth, and climate change, there is new investment, I also hope that China would strengthen cooperation in this area.

But 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 do the work, we created the prosperity that we are protected environment, we sought to Anquan, all of which are common, and that interconnection of Therefore, the strength of the 21st century is not 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 China as an international community of strong, prosperous and successful member.

To return to the proverb, we should consider the past. Cooperation in a large country, when it will collide with each other on more than very good, which is constantly in the history of mankind the lessons learned. I think that our cooperation should go beyond intergovernmental cooperation, should be based on people based on the content of our research, we are engaged in the business, we get access to knowledge, we have conducted, sports games, all of these bridges must be younger people together to set up, which is why I'm pleased to announce our big number of foreign students studying in China, to increase to 10 million. 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 just like you, talented, dynamic and history of the future is still very optimistic that this next step in our cooperation to benefit both countries and the world.
Today can absorb the contents of one of the most important is that we continue to move forward. Thanks very much. Now welcome you to ask questions.
