mic . Uh Good afternoon , Mr President

and very calm

01:32.669 --> 01:33.891
everyone they're in .

01:36.349 --> 01:39.459
So I have to go over there

01:40.819 --> 01:41.819
that

01:46.739 --> 01:50.669
ok , press source set . Yeah .

01:52.089 --> 01:54.269
Well , Mr President , it's good to see

01:54.279 --> 01:56.889
you again . We spent many hours

01:56.900 --> 02:00.720
together over the last uh 10 or 12

02:00.730 --> 02:03.120
years and to host you in the United

02:03.129 --> 02:06.180
States is a great honor and a pleasure

02:06.980 --> 02:08.980
particularly as a way to our summit

02:08.980 --> 02:11.869
today . And for the A pe C leaders

02:11.880 --> 02:14.289
meeting this week , look this time of

02:14.300 --> 02:17.199
year , about a year and a day ago , we

02:17.210 --> 02:20.419
met in Bali on the sidelines of the

02:20.649 --> 02:24.589
Gwent . Since then , key members of

02:24.600 --> 02:26.809
our teams have had important

02:26.820 --> 02:30.080
discussions on issues , matters to both

02:30.089 --> 02:32.669
our nations and to the world . But as

02:32.679 --> 02:34.901
always , there is no substitute to face

02:34.910 --> 02:37.470
to face discussions . I've always found

02:37.479 --> 02:39.479
our discussions straightforward and

02:39.479 --> 02:41.757
frank and I've always appreciated them .

02:41.960 --> 02:44.139
Mr president , we known each other for

02:44.149 --> 02:46.809
a long time . We haven't always agreed ,

02:46.820 --> 02:49.889
which was not surprised anyone but our

02:49.899 --> 02:51.843
meetings have always been candid ,

02:51.843 --> 02:54.550
straightforward and useful . I've never

02:54.559 --> 02:56.781
doubted what you've told me in terms of

02:56.781 --> 02:59.003
your candid nature in which you speak .

02:59.160 --> 03:01.104
I value our conversation because I

03:01.104 --> 03:03.839
think it's paramount that you and I

03:04.190 --> 03:06.610
understand each other clearly leader to

03:06.619 --> 03:09.350
leader with no misconceptions or

03:09.360 --> 03:12.479
miscommunication . We have to ensure

03:12.490 --> 03:14.490
that competition does not veer into

03:14.490 --> 03:16.919
conflict . And we also have to manage

03:16.929 --> 03:20.039
it responsibly in competition . That's

03:20.050 --> 03:22.369
what the United States want and what we

03:22.380 --> 03:25.479
intend to do . We also , I also believe

03:25.490 --> 03:27.712
it's the world wants for both of us can

03:28.050 --> 03:30.350
exchange . We also have a

03:30.360 --> 03:32.779
responsibility to our people and the

03:32.789 --> 03:36.360
work and the world uh to work together

03:36.369 --> 03:38.702
when we see it in our interest to do so .

03:39.000 --> 03:41.111
And the critical global challenges we

03:41.111 --> 03:43.111
face from climate change to counter

03:43.111 --> 03:45.639
narcotics to artificial intelligence

03:45.949 --> 03:48.440
demand our joint efforts . So I look

03:48.449 --> 03:50.740
forward to beginning this discussion

03:51.119 --> 03:53.160
and I welcome you and the floor is

03:53.169 --> 03:55.113
yours , Mr President . And again ,

03:55.113 --> 03:56.080
welcome back ,

04:07.389 --> 04:09.649
Mister President . Good morning .

04:13.720 --> 04:17.269
Coming here . I

04:17.279 --> 04:20.989
thought of , I think of your trip

04:22.649 --> 04:26.380
to China when I was the vice president

04:26.390 --> 04:30.350
of China . We had a meeting . It

04:30.359 --> 04:33.170
was 12 years ago . I still remember our

04:33.179 --> 04:36.940
interactions very vividly and it

04:36.950 --> 04:39.149
always gives me a lot of thoughts .

04:39.579 --> 04:43.260
Last time we met in Bali , you said it

04:43.269 --> 04:47.230
was a year and a day ago , a lot has

04:47.239 --> 04:49.230
happened since then ,

04:51.179 --> 04:53.239
the world has emerged from the COVID

04:53.250 --> 04:54.040
pandemic ,

04:57.070 --> 04:59.250
but it is still under its tremendous

04:59.260 --> 05:02.140
impact . The global economy is

05:02.149 --> 05:05.390
recovering but its momentum remains

05:05.399 --> 05:08.019
sluggish industrial and supply chains

05:08.029 --> 05:09.696
are still under the threat of

05:09.696 --> 05:11.585
interruption and protectionism is

05:11.585 --> 05:14.220
rising . All these are grave problems .

05:14.940 --> 05:17.119
The China US relationship , which is

05:17.130 --> 05:18.741
the most important bilateral

05:18.750 --> 05:21.140
relationship in the world should be

05:21.149 --> 05:25.079
perceived and envisioned in a broad

05:25.089 --> 05:27.230
context of the of the accelerating

05:27.239 --> 05:29.250
global transformations unseen in a

05:29.260 --> 05:32.480
century . It should develop in a way

05:32.489 --> 05:34.378
that benefits our two peoples and

05:34.378 --> 05:36.489
fulfills our responsibility for human

05:36.489 --> 05:37.230
progress .

05:40.329 --> 05:42.385
China US relationship has never been

05:42.385 --> 05:44.496
smooth sailing over the past 50 years

05:44.496 --> 05:46.718
or more and it always faces problems of

05:46.718 --> 05:49.019
one kind or another yet it has kept

05:49.029 --> 05:51.579
moving forward amid twists and turns

05:51.910 --> 05:54.077
for two large countries like China and

05:54.077 --> 05:56.243
the United States , turning their back

05:56.243 --> 05:58.410
on each other is not an option . It is

05:58.410 --> 06:00.679
unrealistic for one side to remodel the

06:00.690 --> 06:02.857
other . And conflict and confrontation

06:02.857 --> 06:04.912
has unbearable consequences for both

06:04.912 --> 06:07.970
sides . I'm still of the view that

06:08.440 --> 06:10.529
major country competition is not the

06:10.540 --> 06:12.670
prevailing trend of current times and

06:12.679 --> 06:15.260
cannot solve the problems facing China

06:15.269 --> 06:17.380
and the United States or the world at

06:17.380 --> 06:20.450
large . Planet Earth is big enough for

06:20.459 --> 06:22.809
the two countries to succeed and one

06:22.820 --> 06:25.410
country's success is an opportunity for

06:25.420 --> 06:28.269
the other . It is an objective fact

06:28.279 --> 06:30.335
that China and the United States are

06:30.335 --> 06:32.557
different in history , culture , social

06:32.557 --> 06:34.809
system and development path . However ,

06:34.839 --> 06:37.170
as long as they respect each other ,

06:37.179 --> 06:39.179
coexist in peace and pursue winding

06:39.179 --> 06:41.290
cooper operation , they will be fully

06:41.290 --> 06:43.512
capable of rising above differences and

06:43.512 --> 06:45.568
find the right way for the two major

06:45.568 --> 06:47.846
countries to get along with each other .

06:47.846 --> 06:49.735
I firmly believe in the promising

06:49.735 --> 06:51.901
future of the bilateral relationship .

06:52.649 --> 06:54.809
Mister President , you and I , we are

06:54.820 --> 06:57.760
at the helm of China US relations .

06:59.489 --> 07:01.570
We should the heavy responsibilities

07:01.579 --> 07:03.690
for the two peoples for the world and

07:03.690 --> 07:07.200
for history . I look forward to having

07:08.329 --> 07:12.119
and in depth exchange of views

07:12.130 --> 07:14.119
and reach new , reach , new

07:14.130 --> 07:16.320
understandings with you on strategic

07:16.329 --> 07:18.385
and overarching issues , critical to

07:18.385 --> 07:20.551
the direction of Chinese relations and

07:20.551 --> 07:23.179
on major issues affecting world peace

07:23.190 --> 07:24.440
and development .

07:28.649 --> 07:30.769
I wish to . Yeah .

07:36.089 --> 07:37.779
Thank you for your thoughtful

07:37.790 --> 07:39.957
arrangements for our meeting today and

07:39.957 --> 07:41.957
for our participation at the A PE C

07:41.957 --> 07:44.160
meeting . Thank you one . It doesn't

07:49.920 --> 07:50.920
you ?

07:54.309 --> 07:54.339
Ok .
