Beijing, 9 July 2020
各位来宾，各位朋友：
Distinguished Guests,
Friends,
大家好！
Greetings to you all.
首先，我谨对本次论坛的召开表示热烈祝贺，并愿向长期致力于中美关系的各界人士表示敬意和感谢。我还要感谢基辛格博士对此次论坛的支持，每次同他对话，都让我感受到他对这个世界以及中美关系深入的战略思考。
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.
今天的论坛十分重要。因为就在此时，新冠肺炎疫情仍在全球肆虐，各国人民生命受到严重威胁，世界经济陷入深度衰退，全球合作遭遇强劲逆流，单边霸凌行径大行其道，国际体系愈发面临失序的风险。
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，中美关系这对世界上最重要的双边关系之一，也面临建交以来最严重的挑战。美方一些人，出于意识形态的偏见，正不遗余力地把中国渲染成对手甚至敌人，想方设法遏制中国的发展，不择手段阻碍中美之间的联系。
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.
下一步，中美关系这艘已经航行了四十多年的巨轮能否继续保持正确航向，不仅与两国人民利益密切相连，也关乎世界与人类的共同未来。
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.
中美关系如何才能拨乱反正、重回正轨，真正实现长期健康稳定发展？我想重点谈三点意见：
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，中美双方不应寻求改造对方，而应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.
每个国家所走的道路，都基于各自文化传统和历史积淀。中国坚持的中国特色社会主义道路，符合中国的国情需要，是中国人民自己的选择。实践已经证明，这条道路不仅使14亿中国人民摆脱了贫困落后，也让中华民族再次为人类进步事业作出了重大贡献。国际民调机构多次民意测验显示，中国人民对中国党和政府的支持都高居全球榜首。任何势力都没有资格去否定其他国家选择的道路，任何国家也都不会按照别人的好恶来改造自己的制度。归根到底，制度和道路是对还是错，应该由本国人民来决定。
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.
