The statistics I have show that each year we have about 3 million people traveling between our two countries.  In other words, on every single day, about 7,000 to 8,000 will be traveling between China and the United States.  This is something hardly conceivable 32 years ago when we first established diplomatic ties.

In addition, we have also seen very broad-ranging development of the exchanges at sub-national level.  So far, our two countries have already established sister relationships between 36 provinces and states, and we have also developed 161 pairs of sister cities between our two countries.

The Chinese government is supportive of the friendly exchanges between our two peoples, and we have been creating all kinds of conditions to expand the friendly exchanges between the American and the Chinese peoples.

During this visit, President Obama and I reached an agreement that both sides will take positive steps to further increase the people-to-people exchanges.  On one hand, we will encourage the young people in our two countries to go to each other’s countries to pursue further education and to learn more about each other.  And at the same time, we have also decided to put in place dialogue and exchange mechanisms between different Chinese and American provinces and states.

Besides, we are also going to further expand cultural exchanges and develop tourism.  We are going to use a variety of means to further increase people-to-people exchanges.

I would like to particularly stress here that the young people hold the future of this relationship.  It is extremely important to increase the exchanges between the young people in our two countries.  Through such exchanges, I hope that our friendship can be furthered.  And I also hope that they in the future can serve as ambassadors of goodwill for our two countries, and they can make even more positive contribution to the development of a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.

PRESIDENT OBAMA:  Let me respond briefly to your question.  I absolutely believe that China’s peaceful rise is good for the world and it’s good for America.  First of all, it’s good for humanitarian reasons.  The United States has an interest in seeing hundreds of millions of people lifted out of poverty.  We believe part of justice and part of human rights is people being able to make a living and having enough to eat and having shelter and having electricity.  

And the development of China has brought unprecedented economic growth to more people more quickly than just about any time in history.  And that's a positive good for the world and it’s something that the United States very much appreciates and respects.

We also think that China’s rise offers enormous economic opportunity.  We want to sell you all kinds of stuff.  (Laughter.)  We want to sell you planes.  We want to sell you cars.  We want to sell you software.  And as President Hu and his government refocuses the economy on expanding domestic demand, that offers opportunities for U.S. businesses, which ultimately translates into U.S. jobs.

It also means that as China’s standards of living rise, they have more purchasing power.  I mean, something that I think we have to remind ourselves is that the United States’ economy is still three times larger than China’s despite having one-quarter of the population.  So per-capita income is still very different between the two countries.  And as China’s per-capita income rises, that offers an opportunity for increased trade and commercial ties that benefit both countries.

And finally, China’s rise is potentially good for the world. To the extent that China is functioning as a responsible actor on the world stage, to the extent that we have a partner in ensuring that weapons of mass destruction don't fall into the hands of terrorists or rogue states, to the extent that we have a partner in dealing with regional hotspots, to the extent that we have a partner in addressing issues like climate change or a pandemic, to the extent that we have a partner who is helping poorer countries in Asia or in Africa further develop so that they, too, can be part of the world economy -- that is something that can help create stability and order and prosperity around the world. And that's the kind of partnership that we’d like to see.  

And it’s more likely to come -- if China feels secure and itself is doing well economically, they’re more likely to be an effective partner with us on the world stage.
