World peace and security will be safeguarded if the new security concept with the principles of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation as its core is followed.
Leaders of both countries have built mutual trust and a cooperative partnership, exchanged high-level visits frequently and coordinated closely in major international affairs,
I think the bilateral relationship is a strategic partnership of equality and mutual respect. We will not form an alliance, and this kind of long-term relationship is not directed against another country,
I believe that through the joint efforts of China and the U.S., my visit will deepen our mutual understanding, broaden our common ground and promote friendship and cooperation between our two countries, and that China-U.S. relations will enter a new stage of development,
The Cold War mentality must be abandoned once and for all, ... And a new security concept based on mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation should be established.
United Nations should be brought into full play.
The people will always remember him, ... We have 1.2 billion people, but the life of every Chinese person is precious.
Our army is the people's army that is under the absolute leadership of the party,
Our policy has very long been a consistent one. Peaceful reunification, one country, two systems,
I think President Clinton is a strong defender of the American interests, and I am a strong defender of the Chinese interests, ... But despite that, we still can have very friendly exchanges of views and discussion. And I think that is democracy.
It has become increasingly difficult ... for the very few big powers or blocs of big powers to monopolize international affairs and control the fate of other countries,
patriotic and combat-ready officers and soldiers must make themselves ready for at least limited engagement with U.S. firepower.
Past experiences, if not forgotten, can be a guide for the future,
steadily expand its opening-up program in terms of commodity and service trade, and create a level playing field for a fair and transparent competition between Chinese and overseas enterprises.
