中美经济合作

We meet at a time of risk and challenge in the global economy, and we both face considerable economic challenges at home.

In the United States, we are making progress in repairing the damage from the financial crisis and putting in place a stronger foundation for future economic growth. We are putting in place a comprehensive program of economic reforms to improve education, increase investments in scientific research and innovation, improve incentives for private investment, and reform the financial system. And we are working to legislate a comprehensive program of reforms to restore fiscal sustainability, building on tough, 10-year spending cuts we put in place last summer. While there is still a long way to go to recover from the financial crisis, the economic expansion in the United States is now more broad based and resilient, and we are significantly more advanced than are the other major developed economics in addressing the imbalances that helped cause our crisis.

In China, you are in the process of exploring the next frontier of economic reforms, recognizing as your predecessors did more than 30 years ago, that future economic growth will require another fundamental shift in economic policy. These new reforms recognize the new reality that China must rely more on domestic consumption rather than exports, and more on innovation by private companies rather than capacity expansion by state owned enterprises, with an economy more open to competition from foreign firms, and with a more modern financial system.

我们在全球经济面临风险与挑战的时刻举行会议，两国也都面临着严峻的国内经济挑战。

在美国，我们正在努力修复金融危机造成的破坏，为未来经济发展建立更坚实的基础，现在已经取得了一定的进展。我们制定了全面的经济改革计划，以改进教育、增加科研创新投资、改善鼓励私人投资的激励政策和改革金融体系。去年夏天我们制定了大刀阔斧的削减支出十年计划，如今正在此基础上再接再厉，努力通过立法制定全面的改革计划，以恢复财政的可持续性。尽管要从金融危机中复苏还有很长的一段路要走，但美国的经济扩张现已有了更广阔的基础，并具有了更强的适应能力。在解决导致危机不平衡的问题方面，我们远远走在其他主要发达经济体的前面。

在中国，你们正在探索经济改革的新前沿。正如30多年前你们的前

辈们所认识到的那样，你们意识到未来的经济增长需要在经济政策上再次做出根本性的改变。这些新的改革是基于新的现实：中国必须更加依赖国内消费，而不是依赖出口；更多地依赖民营企业的创新，而不是依赖国有企业扩大产能；中国经济应更加开放地接受来自外国企业的竞争、建立更加现代化的金融体系。
