PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon. It is a great honor for meto be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all ofyou. I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for hishospitality and his gracious welcome. I'd also like to thank ouroutstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep tiesand respect between our nations. I don't know what he said, but I hope itwas good. (Laughter.)What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then whatI'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only fromstudents who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online,which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience,as well as by Ambassador Huntsman. And I am very sorry that myChinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to thischance to have a dialogue.This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see thismajestic country. Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caughtthe attention of the world -- the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streetsand entrepreneurial activity. And just as I'm impressed by these signs ofChina's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient placesthat speak to us from China's distant past. Tomorrow and the next day Ihope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of theForbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nationthat encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of thefuture.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries.Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of therelationship between the United States and China. It was here, 37 yearsago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter ofengagement between our governments and among our people. However,America's ties to this city -- and to this country -- stretch back further, tothe earliest days of America's independence.In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned theEmpress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it couldpursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the shipcarry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations likeChina. This is a common American impulse -- the desire to reach fornew horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history havesteered the relationship between our countries in many directions. Andeven in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities toforge deep and even dramatic ties. For instance, Americans will neverforget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over yoursoil duringWorldWar II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked allthat they had by doing so. And Chinese veterans of that war still warmlygreet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought tohelp liberate China from occupation.A different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when thefrost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game oftable tennis. The very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed toits success -- because for all our differences, both our common humanityand our shared curiosity were revealed. As one American playerdescribed his visit to China -- "[The]people are just like us…The countryis very similar to America, but still very different."Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of theShanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formalrelations between the United States and China in 1979. And in threedecades, just look at how far we have come.In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5billion -- today it tops over $400 billion each year. The commerce affectsour people's lives in so many ways. America imports from China manyof the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we export to Chinamachinery that helps power your industry. This trade could create evenmore jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoya better quality of life. And as demand becomes more balanced, it canlead to even broader prosperity.In 1979, the political cooperation between the United States and Chinawas rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union. Today,we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship thatopens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time --economic recovery and the development of clean energy; stopping thespread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change; thepromotion of peace and security in Asia and around the globe. All ofthese issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when I meet with PresidentHu.And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited. Today, wesee the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that arebeing forged across many sectors. The second highest number of foreignstudents in the United States come from China, and we've seen a 50percent increase in the study of Chinese among our own students. Thereare nearly 200 "friendship cities" drawing our communities together.American and Chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery.And of course, Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love ofbasketball -- I'm only sorry that I won't be able to see a Shanghai Sharksgame while I'm visiting.It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries hasaccompanied a period of positive change. China has lifted hundreds ofmillions of people out of poverty -- an accomplishment unparalleled inhuman history -- while playing a larger role in global events. And theUnited States has seen our economy grow along with the standard ofliving enjoyed by our people, while bringing the Cold War to a successfulconclusion.There is a Chinese proverb: "Consider the past, and you shall know thefuture." Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30years. Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty.But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined -- not whenwe consider the past. Indeed, because of our cooperation, both theUnited States and China are more prosperous and more secure. We haveseen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engageon the basis of mutual respect.And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding --on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and fromone another. For just as that American table tennis player pointed out --we share much in common as human beings, but our countries aredifferent in certain ways.I believe that each country must chart its own course. China is anancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture. The United States, bycomparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the manydifferent immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the foundingdocuments that guide our democracy.Those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and theyenshrine several core principles -- that all men and women are createdequal, and possess certain fundamental rights; that government shouldreflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes; that commerceshould be open, information freely accessible; and that laws, and notsimply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.Of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters.In many ways -- over many years -- we have struggled to advance thepromise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfectunion. We fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of ourpopulation from slavery. It took time for women to be extended the rightto vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants fromdifferent corners of the globe to be fully embraced. Even after they werefreed, African Americans persevered through conditions that were separateand not equal, before winning full and equal rights.None of this was easy. But we made progress because of our belief inthose core principles, which have served as our compass through thedarkest of storms. That is why Lincoln could stand up in the midst ofcivil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived inliberty, and "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal"could long endure. That is why Dr. Martin Luther King could stand on thesteps of the Lincoln Memorial and ask that our nation live out the truemeaning of its creed. That's why immigrants from China to Kenya couldfind a home on our shores; why opportunity is available to all who wouldwork for it; and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago wouldhave had trouble voting in some parts of America, is now able to serve asits President.And that is why America will always speak out for these core principlesaround the world. We do not seek to impose any system of governmenton any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that westand for are unique to our nation. These freedoms of expression_r_r_r andworship -- of access to information and political participation -- webelieve are universal rights. They should be available to all people,including ethnic and religious minorities -- whether they are in the UnitedStates, China, or any nation. Indeed, it is that respect for universal rightsthat guides America's openness to other countries; our respect for differentcultures; our commitment to international law; and our faith in the future.These are all things that you should know about America. I also knowthat we have much to learn about China. Looking around at thismagnificent city -- and looking around this room -- I do believe that ournations hold something important in common, and that is a belief in thefuture. Neither the United States nor China is content to rest on ourachievements. For while China is an ancient nation, you are also clearlylooking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see thattomorrow's generation can do better than today's.In addition to your growing economy, we admire China's extraordinarycommitment to science and research -- a commitment borne out ineverything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use.China is now the world's largest Internet user -- which is why we were sopleased to include the Internet as a part of today's event. This countrynow has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing inthe new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climatechange -- and I'm looking forward to deepening the partnership betweenthe United States and China in this critical area tomorrow. But above all,I see China's future in you -- young people whose talent and dedicationand dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.I've said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentallyinterconnected. The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, theenvironment we protect, the security that we seek -- all of these things areshared. And given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is nolonger a zero-sum game; one country's success need not come at theexpense of another. And that is why the United States insists we do notseek to contain China's rise. On the contrary, we welcome China as astrong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations-- a China that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individualChinese like you.To return to the proverb -- consider the past. We know that more is tobe gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide. That is alesson that human beings have learned time and again, and that is theexample of the history between our nations. And I believe strongly thatcooperation must go beyond our government. It must be rooted in ourpeople -- in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledgethat we gain, and even in the sports that we play. And these bridges mustbe built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts inAmerica.That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States willdramatically expand the number of our students who study in China to100,000. And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build tiesamong our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the21st century. And I'm absolutely confident that America has no betterambassadors to offer than our young people. For they, just like you, arefilled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet tobe written.So let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that willserve our nations, and the world. And if there's one thing that we cantake from today's dialogue, I hope that it is a commitment to continue thisdialogue going forward.So thank you very much. And I look forward now to taking somequestions from all of you. Thank you very much. (Applause.)So -- I just want to make sure this works. This is a tradition, by the way,that is very common in the United States at these town hall meetings.And what we're going to do is I will just -- if you are interested in asking aquestion, you can raise your hands. I will call on you. And then I willalternate between a question from the audience and an Internet questionfrom one of the students who prepared the questions, as well as I thinkAmbassador Huntsman may have a question that we were able to obtainfrom theWeb site of our embassy.
