Obama joint press conference in Beijing, the speech

Great Hall in Beijing, China < br> Obama: Good afternoon. First of all I want to thank President Hu and the Chinese people have given me since we arrived and the delegation of the warm hospitality. Yesterday, we spent in Shanghai, a very pleasant day, with young men and women in China a very pleasant discussion. I look forward to our next two days of talks in Beijing and attractions to visit.
we are in the US-China relations to our common future with a time of unprecedented importance of the meeting held here. The major challenges of the 21st century, whether it is climate change, nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are associated with our two nations, and which countries can not act alone to deal with these challenges.
This is why the United States welcomes China's efforts to on the world stage to play a greater role in mm a role in which economic development and growth with responsibility. That is why President Hu and I have talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive US-China relations.
such as President Hu said, we discussed the economic recovery continues to make the measures that must be taken so that the economic growth of new employment opportunities, and lasting prosperity. So far, the partnership with China is proof of our generations to get rid of its most severe recession in the vital efforts.
Looking ahead, we agreed to advance the Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh made to ensure the implementation of the strategy more balanced economic growth. According to this strategy, the United States to increase savings, reduce consumption, reduce long-term debt, and China will have to be adjusted to balance the economic policies to stimulate domestic demand. This will lead to increased U.S. exports and jobs, on the other hand to improve living standards in China.
such as Hu President said, we also agreed that to keep our markets open and trade between the free flow will contribute to our common prosperity. I am pleased to note that China has repeatedly said, to move toward a greater extent by commitment to market-determined exchange rate. I'm with regional parties and other parties in the discussions stressed that this act in accordance with basic economic principles will be a rebalancing of the global economy, a major contribution.
President Hu and I have the problem of climate change also made progress on. As the largest energy consumers and producers, not the joint efforts of China and the U.S. can not successfully address this challenge. Therefore, we agree in this area a series of important new initiatives. Hu indicated, we will establish a Clean Energy Research Center, we will be able to energy efficiency, renewable energy, clean use of coal, electric vehicles and shale gas agreement.
We also agreed to work towards successful outcome in Copenhagen . to support the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen (Rasmussen) are trying to achieve, we will not be a partial agreement, or a political declaration, but a problem that contains all of the negotiations, the agreement an immediate operational effect. This comprehensive agreement would be to mobilize the world climate challenge an important step forward in the effort. We agreed that each will take significant mitigation actions, determined to fulfill these commitments.
In the non-proliferation issue, President Hu and I discussed a shared commitment to stop proliferation of nuclear weapons, I told him how appreciative I am of China's support for the global nonproliferation regime and verifiable elimination of North Korea's nuclear weapons program greatly appreciated.
We agreed that the resumption of six-party talks as soon as possible is important. As I said in Tokyo, North Korea has a choice: It can continue down the path of confrontation and provocation, the result will be less security, less prosperity in the world more isolated in society; it can choose to become a full member of the international community, international obligations and abandon its nuclear weapons, so that its people live a better life.
Similarly, we also agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran to the international community to provide assurances that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent. At this point, our two countries and the five permanent members plus one of the other partners agree. Iran has an opportunity to showcase and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it did not advantage of this opportunity will be consequences.
President Hu and I also discussed Afghanistan and Pakistan, our security and stability of common interests. The two countries can not and should not become a terrorist base. We agree to deepen cooperation to achieve this goal, including all of South Asia more stable and peaceful relations.
Finally, as I did yesterday in Shanghai, I talk to President Hu Jintao the U.S. basic belief that everyone has some fundamental human rights. We do not believe these principles are unique to America, they are universal rights. all peoples, all ethnic and religious minorities should enjoy. our two countries agreed scheduled for early next year to continue human rights dialogue held move this discussion forward.
As President Hu Jintao pointed out, the United States respects China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We reiterate the commitment of the one-China policy.
we did note that while we recognize that Tibet is the People's Republic of part of the United States supports the Chinese Government and Dalai Lama's representatives and the early resumption of dialogue to resolve their concerns and differences. We also have taken the PRC and Taiwan to ease tensions and build links across the Taiwan Strait expressed appreciation for the steps.
based on three joint communiques and the and I discussed part of the problem. But we also know that our relationship goes far beyond any single issue. In this young century, the work we do, create prosperity, the protection of the environment, seek Security mm all of which are shared.
view of this mutual association, I do not think the success of a country must give up the expense of the interests of another country. This is why the United States welcomes China as an strong, prosperous and successful member.
Our relationship is not without disagreement and difficulty. But because of our cooperation, the United States and China are more prosperous, more secure. We have already seen, when we on the basis of mutual benefit development, equality and mutual respect between the time on the basis of what kind of results can be achieved. I very much look forward to this trip and in the coming years, to deepen that engagement and understanding.

Obama in Shanghai direct dialogue with the students (full text)
2009 年 11 月 16 日 < br> Shanghai, China Shanghai, China Science and Technology Museum

pm local time 1:18
Obama: Good. to have the opportunity to talk with all of you in Shanghai, I am deeply honored. I want to thank Fudan University, Professor Yang, for his hospitality and warm welcome. I would also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador Jon Huntsman, who represents the deep ties between our two countries and mutual respect. I do not know what he said, but I hope that well. (laughter)
What I'd do is to make opening remarks, but I really want to do is answer questions, students not only answer the questions raised here, but also to answer some questions raised from the Internet, these problems by the here some students and Ambassador Huntsman. I'm sorry, my Chinese is better than your English, but I am looking forward to this opportunity to have a dialogue.
This is my first visit to China to see this magnificent country, I am very excited. In Shanghai, we see the development of global attention mm tall buildings, busy streets and entrepreneurial activity. These are all signs of China entered the 21st century, I'm impressed. Meanwhile, I also look forward to see us show a long history of Chinese heritage. tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will be in Beijing and hope to have the opportunity to see the spectacular Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Indeed, this is a both a rich history, but also full of hope for the future confidence in the country.
of the relationship between our two countries. There is no doubt that relations between the United States and the history of Shanghai is a city of great significance. It was here, 37 years ago, the ) to open our two governments and two peoples and a new chapter in relations. However, the United States and this city and this country's ties can be traced back more distant past, until the early American.
1784, our founding father, George b Washington presided over the countries like China and to forge new ties. This is a common desire mm Americans hope to achieve new horizons, create new, mutually beneficial partnerships.
in the next two centuries, the history of our flood bilateral relations to a number of different directions, but even in the turbulent years, the two peoples but also to seize the opportunity to develop a deep and even extraordinary relations. For example, the American people will never forget that during World War II, United States pilots shot down over China, Chinese citizens braved the risk of losing everything they care. participated in World War II veterans are still warm Chinese welcome return visit of the American veterans, where they had fought to help liberate the Chinese from occupation. < br> nearly 40 years ago, the simple game of table tennis thaw in bilateral relations, so that we establish a different kind of connection between the two countries. This contact is accidental, but it just contributed to its success, because although we There are many differences between, but our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed. As one American player in the memories of his visit to China when he said: There are many similarities, there are very different. see in the next 30 years, how far we have come a long way.
1979, the United States in the trade about 50 billion U.S. dollars, today, the annual trade volume has more than 400 billion U.S. dollars. trade between the two countries in many aspects of the people's lives, the United States and many of the computer components that we are all dressed in clothing imports from China, we export to China of your industrial needs of the machine. The sides of the Pacific trade can create more job opportunities for our people to lead a better quality of life. as demand becomes more balanced, will further expand the scope of prosperity.
1979, the political cooperation between the United States based on the common face of the main rivals the Soviet Union. Now We enjoy a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship, as we in the modern era of the critical global issues partnership opens the door, these issues include: economic recovery and clean energy development, to stop nuclear proliferation and climate change in Asia and around the world to promote peace and security. All of these issues tomorrow and President Hu.
1979, we linked the two peoples is very limited. Today, we see that table tennis players of the year curiosity has turned into many areas of the bond, the number of Chinese students in the United States finished second, while in the United States students, studying Chinese has increased by 50%. There are nearly 200 sister cities, our communities together. American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery. Yao Ming is our shared love of basketball mm just one signal that I regret is that this line I can not watch the Shanghai Sharks team.
the relationship between our two countries has accompanied a period of positive change, this is not an accident. China has realized hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, this unprecedented achievement, while also in global issues play a greater role. U.S. successful in bringing the Cold War ended at the same time, the economy has achieved growth and improved living standards.
Chinese saying goes: challenges, our relationship is not without disagreement and difficulty. But security. We have seen our mutual interests and mutual respect to work on what can be achieved.
However, the success of that engagement depends upon understanding to continue an open dialogue, mutual understanding, mutual learning. As mentioned earlier, the U.S. table tennis player who said mm as people, we share much in common, but our countries there are differences in some areas.
I think that each country must chart its own way forward. China is an ancient, rooted culture. The United States is a relatively young nation, its culture from many different countries, migration and guidance of the founding of our democratic system formed.
these programs put forward a simple human affairs, the expectations are, and contains a number of core principles mm both men and women are equal, and possess certain basic rights; government should reflect the will of the people respond to their wishes; commerce should be open, free flow of information should be; judicial protection should come from the rule of law and not of men.
, of course, China is not without its difficult chapters. In many ways, in a very long time, we have struggled to achieve these principles to all the people's commitment to creating a more perfect union. We fought a very painful civil war, and part of the population freed from slavery. women the right to vote, Labour won the right to organize, to immigrants from around the world to be fully embraced mm These are only some time after implementation. African-Americans will still be free even if that were separate and unequal conditions, they finally won through the tireless efforts of a comprehensive and equal rights.
None of this was easy. However, because of our firm belief in these core principles, we have made progress, and these principles as our compass through the darkest of storms. This is why Abraham Lincoln (Lincoln) able to stand up and declare the Civil War, this is a test of a conceived in liberty, . Luther. King (Martin Luther King) to stand in the Lincoln Memorial Dr. (Lincoln Memorial) on the steps, ask that our nation the true meaning of its creed. This is why people from countries from China to Kenya in the immigrants to settle on our land; why all efforts to seek opportunities for people who have access to opportunities; why someone like me in less than 50 years ago in some parts of the United States have had trouble voting in person, now able to serve the country President.
This is why the U.S. has been around the world speak out for these core principles. We do not seek to impose any system on any other nation, but we do not believe that we stand for these principles are unique to our country The. freedom of expression and access to information and freedom of religious belief mm political participation mm we believe are universal rights, everyone should enjoy, including ethnic and religious minorities, whether in the United States, China, or any other country. It is the guidance of universal respect for the rights open to the U.S. to other countries, respect for different cultures, commitment to international law, and have faith in the future.
these are you should know about America situation. I also know that there is much to learn about the situation. Looking around at this great city mm mm looking around this room I'm sure our two countries have a very important thing in common, our faith in the future. United States and China do not want to be satisfied with what has been achieved, stalled. Although China is an ancient country, but you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and the younger generation can do better than this generation's determination. < br> We not only admire China's growing economy, but also appreciate your extraordinary commitment in scientific research efforts mm from you build the infrastructure to the technology you use, are reflected in this effort. China is now the world's largest Internet user mm which is why we are pleased today to include the Internet as part of the reason for the event. This country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, it is investing in both sustain growth and combat climate change The new energy mm I look forward to tomorrow in this critical area of cooperation to deepen relations between the two countries. However, the most important thing is that I see in you the future of China mm young people whose talent, dedication and dreams will play a major role in shaping the 21st century.
I have said many times, I believe that our world is now closely linked. we do the work, we build prosperity, we protect the environment, and our seek security mm all of which are shared. In view of this mutual contact, in the 21st century, power is no longer a zero-sum game; a country's success should not come at the price. That is why The United States strongly that we do not seek to contain China's rise. On the contrary, we welcome China into the international community a strong, prosperous and successful members of the mm one from each of you that the rights of the Chinese people, the strength and creativity of power China.
return to the proverb mm past. We know that great powers cooperation rather than confrontation will bring greater benefits. This is a lesson that human beings have learned, our two countries the relationship between the example of history. I am convinced that cooperation must go beyond inter-governmental cooperation. cooperation must be rooted in our people mm rooted in our study together, our business activities, we have learned , and even our sports. these bridges must be young people like you and the young people together to build the United States.
Therefore, I am pleased to announce that the United States will in the number of U.S. students studying in China increased dramatically 10 million people. these exchanges between our two peoples in a clear commitment to establish contact, no doubt, you will help determine the fate of the 21st century. I fully believe that America has no better ambassadors than our young people. because they are just like you, talented, energetic, yet to be written the history that is full of optimism.
So let this be a steady move to seek cooperation of our next steps, such cooperation is conducive to our two countries and the world. If you get the dialogue from the point of today's revelation, I hope it is a commitment to continue this dialogue.
thank you very much. Now I want you all to answer some questions raised. very much. (applause.)
I just want to make sure this works smoothly. By the way, this is a direct dialogue with the United States will be such a very common traditional practices. we have to do is ask if you want to mm to please raise their hands. I will call you. I will turn to answer audience questions and the students who raised the question from the Internet, and, I think Ambassador Huntsman may have a question to us through the Web site of the Embassy problem.
let us begin, take a look at mm me to take this approach: first call on a boy then a girl, and then mm so forth, so that we considered fair. right? First, I want to this young lady right in the front. Please wait for this microphone, so everyone can hear. What is your name?
Q: My name is (inaudible), I Fudan University students. Since 1985, Shanghai and Chicago, have been sister cities, two cities in the economic, political and cultural aspects of the wide variety of exchange activities. So, what measures will you take to deepen the United States and Chinese cities this close relationship between? Shanghai World Expo will be held next year. you bring your family to visit the Expo? Thank you.
Obama: Thank you for the question. I came here before, just lunch with the Mayor of Shanghai, he told me that he and my hometown Chicago mm mm has an excellent relationship, he has visited twice to the City of Chicago. I think the exchange between cities is a very good thing .
I discussed with one of the Mayor of Shanghai, the two cities in the clean energy strategy for how we can learn from each other, because China and the United States linked to the question is this: With the population growth and concerns about climate change, how can we reduce our carbon footprint. Clearly, in the United States and many developed countries, by population, per capita average, than the energy they use here in China's energy use per person much more. But as China's growth and development, it also will use more energy. So both countries have great interest in finding new strategies.
We talked about the development of public transport, and Shanghai is the excellent rail line. I think we can be in Chicago and the United States is well-built high-speed rail project to learn some things.
in the U.S., I think we are learning to use less energy construction, energy efficient buildings. and I know to come all the way to Shanghai for the mm I see so many cranes and so many new buildings under construction, we began to absorb these new technologies is very important to make every building in the lighting, the heating aspects do energy. So I think this is a good to learn from each other the opportunity.
I know, clean energy will be the Shanghai World Expo, a major focus of the mayor of Shanghai, where mm I learned from this. so I would love to attend. I'm still not sure my future schedule; but I am very pleased that the World Expo in Shanghai will have a very wonderful in the U.S. pavilion. I heard that as many as 7,000 people are expected to visit. so here will be very crowded and it will be very exciting.
Chicago in the history of World Expo has been held twice, then twice the Expo gave tremendous impetus to the city. I'm sure the same thing will happen here in Shanghai .
Thank you. (Applause)
Let the Internet one of the questions. please introduce yourself, if hh
Q: Let me speak Chinese, speak English, okay?
Austria President Obama: Yes.
Q: I want to pose this question from the Internet. I want to thank Mr. President, in your first year in office to visit China and exchange views with us in China. I want to know your visit What the Chinese to China, you turn back to the U.S. with what? (Applause.)
Obama: The main purpose of my visit is to deepen understanding of China and vision for the future. I have been with President Hu had several meetings. We participated together in response to economic and financial crisis, the G20 meeting. We consulted a wide range of issues. But I think the U.S. continues to deepen understanding of China is very important, as the Chinese also need to continue to deepen understand the United States.
As I hope this meeting, or from the visit to see what results, in addition to having the wonderful opportunity to visit the Forbidden City and Great Wall, and with all of you to meet these are the main mm mm I also intends to discuss with President Hu a point, that is, Ambassador Huntsman made earlier, there is no consensus in the United States and China, you can not beat the number of global challenges.
me give a specific example, this is what we just talked about climate change issues. United States and China is the world's top two greenhouse gases, of carbon emissions, such emissions cause global warming. As I said before, the United States as a highly developed countries, per capita energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in China is much higher. On the other hand, China is growing faster and larger population. Therefore, unless our two countries on this issue are willing to take critical steps, otherwise we can not solve this problem.
scheduled for December in Copenhagen conference, world leaders are trying to find a recipe so that we can all make their different commitments, obligations of States clearly differentiated mm, because of China's poor much more, so do not take the same action with the U.S. mm, however, plan to reduce greenhouse gases, we should all assume certain obligations.
this example of what I want to see what this meeting outcomes mm I exchange ideas with President Hu Jintao to discuss how the United States and China can work together to play a leadership role. because I can tell you the rest of the world will be waiting for us. They will watch our actions. If they think the United States and China does not take this issue seriously, then they would not take it seriously. This is the leadership of our two countries shoulder the responsibility now. My hope is that more and more through discussion and dialogue, we can more to the world to show us many of these key issues in leadership. good or bad? (Applause.)
Well, following the turn of boys, right? I came to ask the boy questions.
Q: Mr. President, Good afternoon. I'm from Tongji University. I would like to quote a saying from Confucius: We know that the United States develops a culture characterized by diversity, I ask you what this government will take measures to build a diversified world with different cultures? What would you do different in other countries to respect the culture and history ? What we will be able to cooperate?
Obama: This is an extremely well. One of the advantages the United States is that we have a very diverse culture. We have people from all over the world. Therefore, not a word for the Americans look like. In my own family, my father was from Kenya, my mother from Kansas, the Midwest, my sister is half Indonesian descent, she married to a Chinese Canadian. Therefore, we the Obama family gatherings like the United Nations. (laughter)
and this is a strength, because it means we are from different cultures, different foods and different ideas to the things that make our society more vibrant.
At the same time, each country in this interconnected world has its own culture, their history and their traditions. Therefore, I think the important point for the United States is concerned is not to assume that things in our favor will certainly benefit other people. Our attitude in dealing with other countries, should be modest.
but I must say, as I stated in his opening remarks, we do believe that some of the basic principles are common to all people, regardless of cultural background. For example, in the United Nations, we are very active in trying to ensure that children everywhere are entitled to certain basic rights mm if children are being exploitation, if they are forced to do child labor, although previously in many countries including the United States could such a thing happened, but all the world's countries are now able to be developed to better way than treating children . This is a universal value.
I believe that attitudes towards women as well. I came here before the lunch with the Mayor of Shanghai and had a very interesting discussion, and he told me that the Chinese High School There are many professional school girls in school is actually more than boys, and they are doing very well. I think this is an excellent indicator of progress, because look at development around the world will see whether the development of a country One of the most important indicators of success, is the situation of education of girls and women enjoyed. and those who can play women's wisdom and energy, and can provide good education for their country, usually higher than those who did not do so countries have better economic development.
, of course, different cultures on the relationship between men and women may have different attitudes, but I think the U.S. view is that we must affirm the rights of women around the world. If we see women in some societies are oppressed, denied opportunities, or subjected to violence, we will speak out.
some people may not agree with our point of view, we can have a dialogue. but we consider it necessary to abide by our philosophy and values. Of course, when we do have the humility and understanding that we are not perfect and, on many issues still to be making progress. If you talk to American women, they will tell you, there are some women in men status in society a lot of old fashioned ideas. Therefore, we can not say we have solved all problems, but we consider it necessary for these universal ideals and values of these universal outcry.
right. following through to answer a issues raised by the Internet.
Q: Hello, Mr. President. I am honored to be here and meet you in person.
Obama: Thank you.
Q: I will be reading a web selected for your question, this issue is raised by a Taiwanese. his question, he said: I come from Taiwan, now doing business in China. As cross-strait relations in recent years to improve, I am now doing business in China good. So when I heard some people in America to propose mm arms sales to Taiwan news, I began to feel very worried. I worry that this would undermine cross-strait relations. Therefore, Mr. President, I would like to know if you support improving cross-strait relations. Of course, the problem though is from a businessman, but in fact all the young Chinese students are very concerned about this issue, so we want to know your position on this issue. Thank you. (Applause)
Obama: Thank you. I have always been clear that the current government fully supported the one-China policy, which several years ago, that set forth in the three joint communiques with the PRC of our relationship and our relationship with Taiwan . We do not want to change this policy and that approach.
I am very pleased to see tensions ease and the improvement of cross-strait relations, and I very much look forward and hope we can continue to see other parts of Taiwan and China to resolve Many of these problems significantly improve relations.
I think the United States in foreign policy, including its policy on China has been seeking a solution through dialogue and negotiation means. We have always believed this is the best way. and I think that this region is to establish economic and trade links will help alleviate a lot before you were born, even before I was born already ...
