What has happened shows that without reform and opening-up, China could not have come to where it is today, nor can it have a future.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations more than 40 years ago, our bilateral ties have moved forward rapidly thanks to the joint efforts of the two sides. As a line from the Argentine epic Martin Fierro goes, "Brothers have to be united, because this is the first law." China and Argentina have become trustworthy friends and equal partners in win-win cooperation.

此处“水平”未译。“方面”、“方式”、“问题”、“情况”之类的范畴词，在汉语句子里没有多少实际意义，但很有用，可以使句子流畅。汉译英时，范畴词可以不译，英译汉时，可以酌情使用。
