Throughout the 70 years and more since the founding of the People's Republic, China has not provoked a conflict or war, or occupied a single inch of foreign land. China is the only major country that has written peaceful development into the Constitution of the country and the Constitution of the governing party, thus making peaceful development a commitment of the nation. It benefits from and safeguards the current international order.

我们将坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系，维护以国际法为基础的国际秩序，维护以联合国宪章宗旨和原则为基础的国际关系基本准则。无论今后发展到哪一步，我们都永远不称霸、不扩张，不强加于人，不谋求势力范围，不同任何国家打冷战热战。

We remain firm in safeguarding the international system with the U.N. at its core, the international order underpinned by international law, and the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter. Whatever stage of development it may reach, China will never pursue hegemony or expansion, and will never impose its will on others. China does not seek spheres of influence, and will not fight a cold war or a hot war with anyone. 

中国将坚持对话而不对抗、结伴而不结盟，继续奉行合作共赢的开放战略。中国追求的不是独善其身的现代化，愿同各国一道，实现和平发展、互利合作、共同繁荣的世界现代化，推动构建人类命运共同体！

China will remain committed to dialogue and oppose confrontation, and build partnerships instead of alliances. It will continue to pursue a mutually beneficial strategy of opening up. The modernization we are pursuing is not for China alone. We are ready to work with all countries to advance global modernization featuring peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity, and to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

历史长河大浪淘沙，最终沉淀下来的总是最有价值的东西。不论形势如何变化，中美和平共处的历史逻辑不会变，两国人民交流合作的根本愿望不会变，世界人民对中美关系稳定发展的普遍期待不会变。任何一项伟大事业要成功都必须从人民中找到根基、从人民中集聚力量、由人民来共同完成。

The passage of time is like a surging river -- much is washed away, but the most valuable stays. No matter how the global landscape evolves, the historical trend of peaceful coexistence between China and the United States will not change. The ultimate wish of our two peoples for exchanges and cooperation will not change. The expectations of the whole world for a steadily growing China-U.S. relationship will not change. For any great cause to succeed, it must take root in the people, gain strength from the people, and be accomplished by the people.

中美友好就是这样一项伟大事业。让我们汇聚起两国人民的力量，赓续中美友谊，推进中美关系，努力为促进世界和平和发展作出更大贡献！

Growing China-U.S. friendship is such a great cause. Let us galvanize the Chinese and American peoples into a strong force to renew China-U.S. friendship, advance China-U.S. relations, and make even greater contributions to world peace and development!
