美国总统克林顿在财富论坛上的讲话
载入中...
I am delighted to have the opportunity to join
all of you today for the FORTUNE Global Forum in Shanghai. With nearly
500 CEOs from all around the world and many distinguished participants
from China, this is truly an extra extraordinary gathering.
I was in Shanghai a little more than a year ago.
I saw first-hand how the oldest civilization on earth is becoming
young again. It's impossible not to marvel at the extraordinary pace
of change, or to see in Shanghai the tremendous potential for China's
future.
The U.S. sees China's continued economic growth
as beneficial to our nation and to the world. China's progress ensures
the well-being of nearly a quarter of the world's population. Its
growing openness to the world can bring better jobs, better pay, and
greater prosperity to the American people as well. And it can
contribute to the global store of knowledge and prosperity. That's why
I believe it is vital to make China a full and constructive member of
the international trading system.
As I said to business leaders in Shanghai last
July, and as all of you know well, China faces major challenges in
advancing economic progress beyond the present point - including more
restructuring of state-owned enterprises, developing a transparent
legal and regulatory system, preserving the environment as the economy
grows, and providing greater openness and accountability of its
government and freedom of expression to its people.
The United States is prepared to work with China
in meeting all these challenges. The extraordinary group that is
gathered for the FORTUNE Global Forum both reflects your confidence in
China's future and will help assure this future will meet its great
promise.
Thank you for your efforts and I wish you every
success in your meeting.
