president ever to address your nation from the great hall of the peopleMy wife Nancy and I have looked forward to visiting the people and treasures of your great and historic landOne of the world's oldest civilizationsWe have marveled at Beijing's sweeping vistas and we have felt the warmth of your hospitality touch our heartsWe only regret that our visit will be so briefI'm afraid it will be as a Tang dynasty poet once wroteLooking at the flowers while riding horsebackBut you have another saying from the book of HanWhich describes how Nancy and I feelTo see a thing once is better than hearing about it a hundred times12 years ago, former president NixonArrived in BeijingStep down from Air Force OneAnd shook hands with former Premier Zhou EnlaiPremier Zhou would later tell himYour handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world25 years of no communicationWith one handshake, America and ChinaEach turned a new page in their historiesI believe that history beckons againWe have begun to write a new chapter for peace and progress in our historiesWith America and China going forwardHand in handShe has show Bing JinWe must always be realistic about our relationshipFrankly, acknowledging the fundamental differences in ideology and institutionsBetween our two societiesYes, let us acknowledge those differencesLet us never minimize themBut let us not be dominated by themI have not come to China to hold forth on what divides usBut to build on what binds usI have not come to dwell on a closed door pastBut to urge that Americans and Chinese look to the futureBecause together we can and willMake tomorrow a better dayWhen Premier Zhou was in the United StatesHe told us China has opened its doorAnd will never close it againWe'll permit me to assure you todayAmerica's door is open to youAnd when you walk throughWe'll welcome you as our neighbors and our friendsWe may live at nearly opposite ends of the worldWe may be distinctly differentIn language, customs, and political beliefsBut on many vital questions of our timeThere is little differenceBetween the American and Chinese peopleIndeed, I believe if we were to ask citizensAll over this worldWhat they desire most for their childrenAnd for their children's childrenTheir answer in English, Chinese, or any languageWould likely be the sameWe want peace, we want freedomWe want a better lifeTheir dreams so simply statedRepresent mankind's deepest aspirationsFor security and personal fulfillmentAnd helping them make their dreams come trueIs what our jobs are all aboutWe can work together as equalsIn a spirit of mutual respectAnd mutual benefitI believe in Chinese, you sayWu Jing, Hu WeiWell, America and ChinaAre both great nationsAnd we have a special responsibilityTo preserve world peaceTo help fulfill that responsibilityThe United States is rebuilding its defensesWhich had been neglected for more than a decadeOur people realize this effort is crucialIf we are to deter aggression against AmericaOur allies and other friendsBut we threaten no nationAmerica's troops are not massedOn China's bordersAnd we occupy no landsThe only foreign land we occupyAnywhere in the worldIs beneath gravesitesWhere America shed their bloodFor peace and freedomNor do we commit wanton actsSuch as shooting 269 innocent peopleOut of the skyFor the so-called cause of sacred airspaceAmerica and China both condemnMilitary expansionismThe brutal occupation of AfghanistanThe crushing of CampuchiaAnd we share a stakeIn preserving peaceOn the Korean PeninsulaI think our two peoples agreeThere can be only one sane policyTo preserve our precious civilizationIn this modern nuclear ageA nuclear war cannot be wonAnd must never be foughtAnd that's why we've proposedTo the Soviet UnionMeaningful negotiations that go beyond rhetoricTo actual arms reductionsAnd why we must all work for the dayWhen nuclear weapons will beBanished from the face of the earthAmerica's interest in ChinaOur friendship for your peopleAnd our respect for China'sMany contributions to theProgress of civilizationDate back to the beginningOf our own historyYou might be interested to knowThat personal dinner settingsUsed by our first three presidentsGeorge Washington, John AdamsAnd Thomas JeffersonWere of Chinese originEvidence of our founding fathers'Attraction for your country'sHigh artistic standardsBack in 1784When the first American trading shipThe Empress of ChinaEntered your watersMy country was unknown to youWe were a new republicEager to win a placeIn international commerceA slightly homesick AmericanSailor recorded that first dayIn a letter homeMy dear father he wroteIf ever you receive this letterIt will acquaint youThat after a passageOf six months and seven daysWe came to anchor at WampooThe Chinese had never heard of usBut we introduced ourselvesAs a new nationGave them our historyWith the description of our countryThe importance and necessityOf a trade here to theAdvantage of bothWhich they appear perfectlyTo understand and wishWell, since those early daysOur countries have both profitedFrom the exchange of peopleGoods and ideasChinese settlers helpedTame our continentDuring the 19th centuryToday their families descendantsJoin other AmericansIn cooperating with youTo build a new prosperityIn ChinaHow did AmericaWhich began as anImpoverished countryAnd a melting potAttracting immigrantsFrom every corner of the globePull together and becomeThe leading economic nationIn the worldHow did we go in so short a timeFrom living by candlelightTo exploring the frontiersOf the universe by satelliteFrom each farmerLabering with horse and hoeFor an entire yearJust to feed four peopleTo running his farmWith the most modern machineryAnd producing enough to feed75 peopleBeing AmericaThe breadbasket of the worldWell, we're peopleWho've always believedThe heritage of our pastIs the seed that brings forthThe harvest of our futureAnd from our rootsWe have drawn tremendous powerFrom two great forcesFaith and freedomAmerica was founded by peopleWho sought freedom to worship GodAnd to trust in himTo guide them in their daily livesWith wisdom, strength, goodnessAnd compassionOur passion for freedomLead to the American RevolutionThe first great uprisingFor human rights and independenceAgainst colonial ruleWe knew each of us could notEnjoy liberty for ourselvesUnless we were willing to share itWith everyone elseAnd we knew our freedomCould not truly be safeUnless all of us were protectedBy a body of lawsWe treated as equallyGeorge Washington told usWe would be bound togetherIn a sacred brotherhood of free menAbraham Lincoln definedThe heart of American democracyWhen he said, no man is goodEnough to govern another manWithout that other's consentThese great principlesHave nourished the soul of AmericaAnd they have been enrichedBy values such as the dignityOf work, the friendshipThe workers and the warmth of familyLike China, our people see the futureIn the eyes of our childrenAnd like China, we revere our eldersTo be as good as our fathers and mothersWe must be betterTrust the peopleThese three words are not only the heart and soulOf American historyBut the most powerful force for human progressIn the world todayThose who ignore this vital truthWill condemn their countriesTo fall farther and farther behindIn the world's competitionFor economic leadershipIn the 1980s and beyondBecause look around usThe societies that have madeThe most spectacular progressIn the shortest period of timeAre not the most rigidly organizedNor even the richest in natural resourcesNo, it's where people have beenAllowed to create, compete, and buildWhere they've been permitted to thinkFor themselves, make economic decisionsAnd benefit from their own risksThat societies have becomeThe most prosperous, progressive, dynamic, and freeNothing could be more basicTo the spirit of progressFor a farmer, laborer, or merchant Than economic rewardFor legitimate risk and honest toilA little over a century agoUlysses S. GrantWho was then a former president Visited your countryAnd saw China's great potentialI see dawning, Grant wroteThe beginning of a changeWhen it does comeChina will rapidly becomeA powerful and rich

optimismToday I bring you a messageFrom my countrymenAs China moves forward in this new pathAmerica welcomes the opportunityTo walk by your sideIncidentally, I know Premier ZhaoHas demonstrated mastery of his subjectWhen he was directing agriculturalPolices in SichuanPolitions went from food shortagesAnd forced imports to bumper harvestsAnd rising exportsIn fact, I'm told that becauseOf the work he did, it is saidIn Sichuan province, if you want riceGo see ZhaoWell, China's growth is in China's handsYou will choose your own pathTo developmentBut we're not surprised to seeThe fresh breezes of incentivesAnd innovation sweeping positiveChanges across ChinaAnd behind the statistics of economic growthAre reports of personal success storiesPointing to a new spirit of progressChairman Deng has a sayingSeek truth from factsWell, today in ChinaThe reality of more small enterprisesDoing a thriving businessMore families profiting from their ownHard work and the bigger harvestsThey produce and more investmentIn science and technologyPoints to more opportunityFor allPresident John Kennedy often usedA metaphor to describe such progressA rising tide lifts all boatsIn the United States, as I mentionedEarlier, we've always believed deeplyThat incentives are keyAnd that free people build free marketsThat ignite dynamic development for everyoneFor a time, America's governmentHad drifted away from this key principleAnd our economic growth sufferedWhen we took office in January 1981We said to the peopleLet us make a new beginningFrom now on, if you work harderAnd earn more than beforeYour reward will be greater than it wasWe're putting America's future in your handsYou can spark the spirit of enterpriseYou can get America moving againAnd they haveIn three short yearsThe

United States and ChinaHave an historic opportunityWe can expand our economicAnd scientific cooperationStrengthen the ties between our peoplesAnd take an important stepAnd a better lifeAnd there is

sharplyThe United States is now China'sThird largest trading partnerOur bilateral trade showsGreat promise for the futureIn areas such as machineryTechnology, oilEquipment, petroleumAgricultural and manufacturing productsLast June, I instructed our governmentTo liberalize controls over the export to ChinaOf high technology productsSuch as computers and laboratory instrumentsOur policies on technology transferWill continue to evolveAlong with our overall relationshipAnd the development of broader cooperationBetween usMay I emphasize to the members of theScientific community here todayThe relaxing of export controlsReflects my determinationThat China be treated as aFriendly, non-allied nationAnd that the United States be fullyPrepared to cooperate in yourModernization.

OurAgreement is founded onImportant nonproliferationStandards. We haveNoticed recent statement ofChina's nonproliferationPolices, particularly thoseBy Premier Zhao inWashington and BeijingOver the past severalMonths.
