中国不追求对美国的贸易顺差，一直在采取措施扩大自美国的进口，努力缓解中美贸易不平衡。同时，中国将不断完善对外经贸合作法律法规，有效加强知识产权保护，并在自主创新、政府采购等方面一视同仁，一如既往地为所有赴华投资者创造良好的投资环境。需要强调的是，解决中美贸易不平衡需要中美两国共同努力、相向而行。我们希望美方尽快放宽对华高技术产品出口限制，并采取切实措施为中国企业来美国投资提供更加公平、友善的环境，这将有利于促进美国经济发展和增加就业。
We do not seek large trade surplus with the US. We have taken steps to import more from the US in an effort to address the imbalance. Domestically, we are working to improve our legal framework, strengthen IPR protection, and provide a favorable and level playing field for foreign businesses in terms of indigenous innovation and government procurement. It is important that the US side takes similar steps to ease the restrictions on high-tech exports to China, and provide an open and friendly environment for Chinese investment which can contribute to the US economy and employment.
近来，美国国内对中国“崛起”关注度上升。有人认为中国的发展是机遇，有人则把中国的发展视为威胁，有人甚至提出要遏制中国。围绕中国现象的利与弊，人们进行了不少辩论。
Recently, in the United States, there has been a lot of interest in China's "rise". Some people see the rise more as an opportunity, while others regard it more as a threat. Some even suggested to contain China. Many people have debated the pros and cons of the China phenomenon.
中华人民共和国成立62年来，特别是改革开放30多年来，走过了不平凡的发展历程。中国已成为世界第二大经济体、第一大出口国和全球最大的新兴市场，近3亿农村人口摆脱贫困，人均预期寿命从建国前的35岁提高到73.5岁，人民生活显著改善，教育文化水平不断提高。
The People's Republic of China has gone through an extraordinary journey in the 62 years since it was founded, particularly over the past 32 years of reform and opening up. China is now the second largest economy, the largest exporter and the biggest emerging market in the world. More than 300 million people in the rural areas have been lifted out of poverty. The average life expectancy has increased from 35 in 1949 to 73.5 years in 2010. The living standards, educational and cultural levels of the Chinese people have greatly improved.
