中美两国都是世界上有重要影响的国家。实践已经证明,中美两国保持友好关系,发展友好合作,符合两国的根本利益,也有利于亚太地区,乃至世界的和平与稳定。毋庸讳言,正像您刚才提到的,最近在美国国内的确出现了不少反华的噪音,我想,出现这些噪音也不足为奇。它说明总有一些人不愿意看到中美关系的发展和改善,无非是想干扰中美关系的改善罢了。我相信,他们的企图是不可能得逞的,也是枉费心机的。这种噪音,不仅是反对中国,实际上也是反对美国布什政府现在奉行的对华全面接触政策的继续实施。

Version A

China and the United States are both countries with important influence in the world. Practice has proved that the maintenance and development of friendly relations and cooperation between our two countries serve the fundamental interest of the two countries as well as peace and stability in Asia-Pacific and the world at large. However, there is no denying the fact that recently there has emerged some anti-China discord or noises within the United States, which is nothing strange, because I believe there are always some people who do not wish to see the improvement and growth of China-U.S. relations and who always want to do everything to interfere and disturb the improvement and the development of such relationship. However, I think that their attempt will get nowhere and will be futile. I think such discord or noises are not only directed against China, but also directed at the China policy pursued by the Bush Administration of the United States, which is a policy of comprehensive engagement with China.

Version B

Both China and America have had great influence in the world. Practice has shown that good relations and friendly cooperation between the two sides are in the fundamental interests of both countries, and can also benefit the Asia-Pacific region and even benefit the peace and stability of the whole world. Frankly, as you mentioned right now, there has recently emerged in the United States a lot of anti-China noise. In my opinion, these noises are not surprising. They indicate that some people are reluctant to see the development or improvement of Sino-American relations. They just want to disturb our bilateral relations. But I believe that their attempts would not succeed. These noises are against not only China, but also the Bush Administration’s implementation of the policy of comprehensive engagement with China.
