12、如副主席刚才谈到的，我这次访华恰逢一个重要的周年纪念日，三十年前的这一周，一个美国总统来到了中国，他的访华之旅，目的是为了结束两国长达数十年的隔阂，和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界表明了有着重大差异的两个国家，本着互利互惠，相互尊重的精神是能够站在一起的。那天，他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说：“你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。”三十年来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。随着我们两国间接触的日益增多，我们两国人民逐步加深了了解，这是非常重要的。我在1975年有幸访问过中国，那时在座的有些人可能还没有出生，这也表

13、明我是多么老了。从那以来，贵国发生了很多变化。中国在开放方面、在企业方面、在经济自由方面都取得了惊人的成就。这一成就显示了中国有着巨大的潜能。中国已经加入了世界贸易组织，在你们履行世界贸易组织成员义务的同时，这些义务势必将给中国的法律体系带来变化。一个现代化北京华夏树人数码科技有限公司的中国将有着统一的法制来规范他们的商业生活和保障人民的权益。你们这一代人正在建设的中国，需要你们的深远传统的智慧。物质利益的诱惑对我们的社会造成了挑战在我们的国家给我们的社会造成了挑战，在很多成功的国家也造成了挑战。所有的这些变化，将导致中国更加强大、更加自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也使世界更加丰富。这个中国就是各位一代所帮助创立的中国。现在是中国历史上一个非常令人振奋的时刻。此时此刻，就连最宏伟的梦想也似乎唾手可得。我的国度，对中国表示敬意和友谊。再过六年，来自美国和世界各国的运动员，将到贵国参加奥林匹克运动会，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国将是正在变成一个大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个民心安定，与世界和平相处的中国。
