两年多来，双方按照达成的共识，不断推进各领域协调和合作，取得重要进展。我们携手应对国际金融危机影响，为推动世界经济复苏作出共同努力。我们深化各领域务实交流合作，给两国人民带来实实在在的利益。去年，两国双边贸易额、双向投资存量、人员往来总数都创历史新高。我们围绕伊朗核、朝核、南苏丹、阿富汗、中东等国际和地区热点问题，以及抗击埃博拉病毒、打击恐怖主义等全球性问题保持密切沟通和协调。"桃李不言，下自成蹊。"这些成果丰硕的"跨越太平洋的合作"，有力展现了中美关系发展的蓬勃生机和巨大潜力。

Over the past two years and more, the two sides have acted in accordance with the agreement, steadily moved forward bilateral coordination and cooperation in various fields and made important progress. We worked hand in hand to cope with the aftermath of the international financial crisis and promoted global economic recovery. We deepened pragmatic exchanges and cooperation in all fields which brought about tangible benefits to the two peoples. Last year, bilateral trade, two-way investment stock and total number of personnel exchanges all hit a record high. We maintained close communication and coordination on such international and regional hotspot issues as the Iranian nuclear issue, the Korean nuclear issue, South Sudan, Afghanistan, the Middle East as well as such global issues as fighting against Ebola and countering terrorism. As an old Chinese saying goes, "Peaches and plums do not talk, yet a path is formed beneath them." These worthy fruits of cooperation across the Pacific Ocean speaks eloquentlyto the vitality and potential of China-U.S. relations.

如何在新起点上推进中美新型大国关系？中美应该怎样携手合作来促进世界和平与发展？答案就是要坚持构建中美新型大国关系的正确方向，一步一个脚印向前走。中国古人说："度之往事，验之来事，参之平素，可则决之。"这其中，有几件事尤其要做好。

This leads to the question: what shall we do to advance the new model of major country relationship between China and the U.S. from a new starting point and how can we work together to promote world peace and development? The answer, in my view, is to stick to the right direction of such a new model of relationship and make gradual yet solid progress. An ancient Chinese said, "A decision can be properly made after taking into account the past, the future and the normal practices." A number of things are particularly important for our efforts.

第一，正确判断彼此战略意图。同美方一道构建新型大国关系，实现双方不冲突不对抗、相互尊重、合作共赢，是中国外交政策优先方向。我们愿同美方加深对彼此战略走向、发展道路的了解，多一些理解、少一些隔阂，多一些信任、少一些猜忌，防止战略误解误判。我们要坚持以事实为依据，防止三人成虎，也不疑邻盗斧，不能戴着有色眼镜观察对方。世界上本无"修昔底德陷阱"，但大国之间一再发生战略误判，就可能自己给自己造成"修昔底德陷阱"。

First, we must read each other's strategic intentions correctly. Building a new model of major-country relationship with the United States that features non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation is the priority of China's foreign policy. We want to deepen mutual understanding with the U.S. on each other's strategic orientation and development path. We want to see more understanding and trust, less estrangement and suspicion, in order to forestall misunderstanding and miscalculation. We should strictly base our judgment on facts, lest we become victims to hearsay, paranoid or self-imposed bias. There is no such thing as the so-called Thucydides trap in the world. But should major countries time and again make the mistakes of strategic miscalculation, they might create such traps for themselves.
