PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good morning, everyone. President Hu, members of the
Chinese delegation, on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White
House. And on behalf of the American people, welcome to the United States.
Three decades ago, on a January day like this, another American President
stood here and welcomed another Chinese leader for the historic normalization of
relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. On that
day, Deng Xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our
two nations.
Looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear. The previous 30
years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries. The 30 years since
have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding. And with this visit we
can lay the foundation for the next 30 years.
At a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the United
States and China, this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth. We
have an enormous stake in each other's success. In an interconnected world, in a
global economy, nations -- including our own -- will be more prosperous and more
secure when we work together.
The United States welcomes China's rise as a strong, prosperous and
successful member of the community of nations. Indeed, China's success has
brought with it economic benefits for our people as well as yours, and our
cooperation on a range of issues has helped advance stability in the Asia
Pacific and in the world.
We also know this: History shows that societies are more harmonious,
nations are more successful, and the world is more just, when the rights and
responsibilities of all nations and all people are upheld.
Mr. President, we can learn from our people. Chinese and American students
and educators, business people, tourists, researchers and scientists, including
Chinese Americans who are here today —- they work together and make progress
together every single day. They know that even as our nations compete in some
areas, we can cooperate in so many others, in a spirit of mutual respect, for
our mutual benefit.
What Deng Xiaoping said long ago remains true today. There are still great
possibilities for cooperation between our countries. President Hu, members of
the Chinese delegation, let us seize these possibilities together. Welcome to
the United States of America. Hwan-ying.
