Today, we gather here in Hawaii, the world-famous tourist attraction to
celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of
China. On behalf of the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles, I’d like to
extend the warmest welcome to Lieutenant Governor Schatz, Speaker Say, and all
distinguished Hawaiian guests present today. My welcome particularly goes to
Vice Minister Xu Yousheng, who came all the way from China, and my fellow
compatriots working and living in Hawaii, personnel from Chinese companies,
Chinese scholars and students based in Hawaii. Thank you for your support to
China’s development and wish you a happy national day holiday.
今年是中华人民共和国成立62周年。62年来，中国人民不断总结经验教训，摸索出一条中国特色社会主义发展道路。正是在这条道路上，中国从一个积贫积弱的农业国，发展壮大成为经济规模居世界第二的新兴工业化国家;正是在这条道路上，中国这样一个世界上人口最多的国家，成功地把各族人民凝聚成万众一心的力量，朝着正确坚定的方向团结奋进，共同建设起了经济发展、社会稳定、繁荣富强的中国，为世界的和平、稳定与繁荣作出了重要贡献。
This year marks the 62nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s
Republic of China. In the past 62 years, China adhered to the road of socialism
with Chinese characteristics. By following this road, China ended the suffering
of being poor and weak, and became the world’s second largest economy. By
following this road, China, as a nation with the largest population over the
world, is moving forward to the right direction by achieving economic
development, social stability and national prosperity, which also makes
remarkable contribution to the world.
今年也是中国共产党成立90周年、辛亥革命100周年。中国共产党人传承了为追求民族独立、民主自由和民生幸福，追求国家富强、实现国家统一而矢志不渝、斗志弥坚的辛亥革命精神，激励着海内外全体华夏儿女自强不息、开拓进取、开放包容、同舟共济，实现了世纪梦想、开创了崭新局面。特别是改革开放30多年来，中国社会生产力以前所未有的速度向前发展，中国人民生活水平总体上实现了由温饱向小康的历史性跨越，中华民族的伟大复兴展现出前所未有的光明前景。新的前进号角已经吹响，新的伟大征程已经开启。
This year marks the 90th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party
of China, and also the Centennial of the 1911 "Xinhai" Revolution. In this great
cause, the CPC carried forward the Xinhai Spirit of striving for China’s
prosperity, unification, national independence, democracy and people’s
well-being. The CPC also called upon peoples both at home and abroad to seek
self-improvement, break new ground, learn from others and help each other in
difficult times. From then on, the Chinese people embarked on the bright road of
independence and liberation. Especially during the 30 years after opening-up,
great achievements have been made on China’s social productivity, Chinese
people’s living standard and the great revival of the Chinese nation. The CPC is
leading China and the Chinese people to a bright future.
今年还是中国实施“十二五”规划的开局之年。应当看到，中国仍然是一个有众多人口的发展中国家，人均GDP只有约美国的1/13，在经济社会发展过程中仍面临诸多矛盾和挑战，实现全面小康社会的目标还有很长的路要走。实施“十二五”规划，正是要以科学发展为主题，以加快转变经济发展方式为主线，实施积极的财政政策和稳健的货币政策，增强宏观调控的针对性、灵活性、有效性，加快推进经济结构调整，大力加强自主创新，切实抓好节能减排，不断深化改革开放，着力保障和改善民生。这是中国政府和人民的战略抉择。中国的发展是和平的发展，开放的发展，互利的发展，共赢的发展。中国人民愿同各国人民一道，共享发展机遇，共同应对挑战，推动建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。
The year 2011 is also the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan period. We
should admit that China is still a developing country. Our Per Capita GDP is
only one thirteenth of that of the US. We still face a lot of challenges and
have a long way to achieve our national development goals. The implementation of
the 12th Five-Year Plan is to thoroughly apply the Scientific Outlook on
Development, employ the expedited transformation of the economic development
pattern as the main line, increase the pertinence, flexibility and efficiency of
the macro-control, stress management of energy saving, deepen the reform and the
opening-up process, and comply with the people’s expectations of better lives.
This is a strategic choice of the Chinese government and people. China’s
development is in peace and harmony, through opening-up and in the context of
mutually beneficial development. Chinese people are committed to working with
all nations by sharing the development opportunity, facing the common challenge
and promoting a harmonious world of long lasting peace and common
prosperity.
朋友们，
Dear friends,
一年来，中美关系总体保持了积极发展的势头。今年一月，中国国家主席胡锦涛成功访美，与奥巴马总统就共同推动建设21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系达成了共识。不久前，拜登副总统的成功访华，进一步推动落实了两国领导人达成的共识。第三轮战略与经济对话、第二轮人文交流高层磋商、亚太事务磋商、人权对话、高级军事代表团互访等高层交往不断，就事关中美关系发展的全局性、战略性和长期性问题深入坦诚交换了意见，取得了多项具体成果。
In 2011, the China-US relations maintained an over-all positive development
momentum. During his successful visit to the US in January, President Hu Jintao
and President Barack Obama reached important consensus on working together to
building a China-US cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual
benefit. Not long ago, US Vice President Joseph Biden’s visit to China further
implemented the consensus. There are many other exchanges, including the third
round of Strategic and Economic Dialogue, the second round of High-level
Consultation on People-to-People and Cultural Exchanges, the Asia-Pacific
Affairs Consultation, the Human Rights Dialogue and the high-level military
visits. Through these exchanges, both sides conducted candid and in-depth
exchange of views on overarching, strategic and long-term issues concerning the
development of bilateral ties and achieved many positive outcomes.
胡锦涛主席访美期间与奥巴马总统共同宣布建立的中美省州长论坛机制，也得到了中美两国各地方政府的积极响应和参与，省州作为两国一级行政区划和经济单元将日益成为推动两国关系的生力军，掀开了中美机制化交流与合作的新篇章。
Moreover, the establishment of the China-US Governors Forum, an important
outcome of President Hu’s visit to the United States, was well participated by
local governments at state and provincial levels from both sides. Through this
platform, local governments from both China and the US will serve as a new force
of promoting bilateral relations, opening a new page of China-US exchanges and
cooperation.
特别应当一提的是，“中美省州长旅游局长合作发展对话会议”正在夏威夷举行，中国国家旅游局邵琪伟局长亲自率中方代表团与美方深入交换意见;“文化中国·辛亥百年”文艺晚会将于明晚七点在夏威夷布莱斯德尔中心音乐厅上演，国侨办许又声副主任所率领的团队将中国传统与现代文化艺术献给友好的夏威夷人民。
I’d also like to mention the China-U.S. Tourism Leadership Summit being
held in Hawaii. Chairman of the National Tourism Administration of China, Mr.
Shao Qiwei is leading the Chinese delegation for exchanges of views with the US
counterparts. The "Cultural China, Centennial Xinhai" Cultural Performance will
be held in Hawaii Neal Blaisdell Music Hall tomorrow evening at 7:00pm. The team
led by Vice Minister Xu Yousheng will dedicate the traditional and modern
Chinese culture and art to the people of Hawaii.
这些都是中美开展友好往来的例证。中美两国共同利益不断扩大，合作领域不断拓展，不仅给两国和两国人民带来实实在在的利益，也为世界的和平、稳定与发展做出积极贡献。中美虽在历史、文化、社会、政治制度、经济发展等诸多方面存在差异，但只要双方相互尊重、平等相待，就一定能和谐相处、互利双赢。一个良好的中美关系符合两国根本利益，有利于亚太地区乃至世界的和平、稳定、繁荣。
These are all good examples of the China-US friendly exchanges. Nowadays,
the interests of China and the US are converging, and the fields of cooperation
are expanding. This will not only bring tangible benefits to the people of the
two countries, but also make positive contributions to the peace, stability and
development of the world. Although China and the US differs in history, culture,
society, social system, so long as both sides adhere to the spirit of mutual
respect and equality, China and US will make win-win achievements. A better
China-US relationship is in the fundamental interests of the two countries, and
will help building the peace, stability and development of Asian-Pacific region
and the world.
朋友们，
Dear friends,
在洛杉矶以外的地区，特别是在夏威夷举办中国国庆招待会，是中国驻洛杉矶总领馆自1988年建馆以来的第一次。夏威夷州与中国经贸、文化、旅游等领域联系日益密切，同中国地方省市的友好往来愈加活跃，在此举办国庆招待会适逢其时。上个月，上海同夏威夷檀香山定期直飞航班正式开通，为双方人员往来和游客观光提供了极大便利。一周前，国际姐妹城市峰会在夏威夷召开。作为夏威夷州的友好省州，中国广东省和海南省均派代表出席了此次会议。期间，四川省成都市与檀香山市正式签署建立友城协议书，使成都成为继广东中山市、河北秦皇岛市、海南省海口市之后，与檀香山市结好的第四个中国城市。在此，我愿借在夏威夷举办国庆招待会的机会，向夏威夷州政府、议会致以崇高的敬意和良好的祝愿!
This is the first time since its opening in 1988, that the Chinese
Consulate General in Los Angeles is celebrating China’s National Day in a city
other than Los Angeles. As you all know, the State of Hawaii maintains an
increasingly close tie with China in the field of economy and trade, culture and
tourism, as well as the active exchanges with Chinese provinces and cities. Last
month, the launch of the scheduled direct flight between Shanghai and Honolulu
greatly facilitated the bilateral people-to-people exchange. Last week,
Sister-cities Summit was held in Hawaii, representatives from Guangdong and
Hainan Province attended the summit as the sister states of Hawaii. During the
summit, a sister-city agreement was also signed between Chengdu City of Sichuan
Province and the city of Honolulu, which makes Chengdu the fourth sister city of
Honolulu after Zhongshan City of Guangdong Province, Qinhuangdao City of Hebei
Province and Hai Kou city of Hainan province. So I can say that the decision to
hold this National Day Reception in Honolulu, is a perfect one. I’d like to take
this opportunity to extend my best wishes to the Government and people of
Hawaii!
女士们、先生们，同胞们、朋友们，
Ladies and Gentlemen, dear friends,
中国成就的取得和中美关系的发展，离不开广大旅美华侨华人的支持。你们勤于耕耘、勇于开拓，不仅努力服务于各自社区，也关心中国的建设和发展，是中美两国人民间不可替代的友谊桥梁和友好纽带。我愿借此机会，再次对大家对中国建设与发展一如既往的支持表示敬意和感谢!
The achievement of China and the development of China-US relations can’t be
achieved without the effort of the local Chinese community. You are the
messenger and bridge of friendship between China and the United states. I would
like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks for your continuous
support!
最后我提议，让我们举杯，
为中美两国的繁荣、昌盛，和两国关系的进一步发展，
为中美两国人民的友谊，
为在座各位的健康，
干杯!
Now , I would like to propose a toast,
To the prosperity and further development of China and the United
States,
To the enhancement of bilateral ties between China and the United
States,
To the friendship of the peoples of China and the United States,
And to the health of everyone present tonight,
Cheers! |
