President Xi and I have made tremendous strides on the issues facing our two countries.

During my last visit last May, we created the Board of Trade.

Through that, it's a brand new mechanism, and with something that's been unbelievably successful, our teams have been working to encourage a more balanced trading relationship.

During this visit, we will also discuss pressing issues concerning security, technology, and superintelligence — SI.

The decisions we make in these areas today can promote peace and prosperity for decades and decades to come.

I'm confident there is much we can achieve.

Throughout history, pursuit of those common interests has connected our people across the vast oceans, those big, tremendous distances, and many differences, and even made us allies in World War II.

Look at the greatness that we had together fighting in World War II.

Brave American pilots volunteered to come to China and fight for the very survival of a legendary country, and that legendary Flying Tigers group — they were just unbelievable.

It was the United States Marines' encounter with Chinese people that inspired the Marines to adopt a Chinese phrase they still use today — gung-ho.

The Marines use it as an expression of great enthusiasm, but in Chinese, it literally means working together.

Just as our people worked together to win WW2, President Xi and I will continue working together to forge a better future for both of our nations.

President Xi, Madam Peng — thank you once again for making this historic visit, and welcome to the United States of America.

I'm very glad to pay a state visit to your beautiful country, the United States of America.

Thank you President Trump and Ms. Trump for the warm hospitality that you've extended to me and my wife.

On behalf of the 1.4 billion and more Chinese people, I wish to begin by extending sincere greetings to the American people and warm congratulations on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

Both China and the United States are great countries, and both the Chinese and American peoples are great peoples.

I am visiting the United States at President Trump's invitation to carry on our friendship, expand cooperation, and promote the well-being of both our peoples.

Facing the changes in our world in our times and of historical significance, today China and the United States, as two major countries, shoulder a historic responsibility of advancing human development and progress.

I am ready to work with you to steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations on a steady course toward the future.

We should strengthen communication.

China and the United States are different in national conditions, but through candid, in-depth, and continued dialogue, our two countries can understand each other better, seek common ground while shelving differences, and build up mutual trust.

President Trump and I have respect for each other. We have built personal rapport and stayed in touch.

We encourage our government departments, such as those in charge of foreign affairs, economic matters, financial cooperation, law enforcement, and people-to-people exchanges, to catch up on strengthening contact, and we support our legislative bodies in increasing exchanges.

We should cooperate with sincerity. The interests of China and the United States are deeply intertwined, and there is plenty of room for us to work together.

China-U.S. cooperation may not solve every problem in the world, but without our cooperation, it would be hard to solve many of the world's problems.

On counter narcotics and law enforcement, the Chinese side is willing to strengthen cooperation with the United States.

China and the United States must hold the line of no conflict and no confrontation between us.

And we can certainly find the right path for two great countries to get along on this planet we both call home.

Our two militaries should maintain regular dialogue and improve mechanisms for crisis communication and prevention.

The Thucydides Trap can be overcome.

I am glad to announce an invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China for exchanges and study in the coming five years.

The giant panda has been an envoy of friendship between the Chinese and Americans.

Here, I have a piece of good news. In a few days, two pandas — Ping Ping and Fu Shuang — will come to their new home in Zoo Atlanta and meet with the American people.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand.

Let us meet the people's expectation and show our historical initiative.

Let us keep advancing the cause of friendship between our two peoples and work together to build a better world.
