July 10th, Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi introduced the "Chinese Dream" to the U.S. side in the fifth China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington. He said the Chinese dream and the beautiful dreams of people across the world, including the American dream, are concerted and mutually complementary to each other.  

As the special representative of Chinese president Xi Jinping, Yang said, China, in its over three decades of reform and opening up, has made tremendous economic and social progress guided by the new central leadership. The Chinese people are striving to realize the Chinese dream.

The Chinese dream will bring about prosperity of the country, the renewal of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The Chinese dream and the American dream are concerted and mutually complementary to each other. Yang said.

Yang said, China is a responsible major country, and we have been working with the United States and other countries to respond to the international financial crisis. And we also work with all countries in the world to fight against terrorism. According to authoritative international statistics, China contributes to over 80 percent to Asians' economic growth, and among the five permanent countries of the United Nations Security Council, China has the largest peacekeeping force in other countries. China will contribute to world peace, stability, and development.

As for China-US relationships, Yang said, China is the biggest developing country and the United States is the largest developed country. There are many common interests between us, as well as some frictions and difficulties. However, our common interests far outweigh our differences. We must seek consensus while sharing differences and turn our disputes and differences into commonalities. And we should work together to advance our relationship.

Yang said, we are ready to work with the U.S. and other countries to make our contribution to the development of Asia and the Pacific region. We also hope that relevant countries would honor their commitments through negotiations. And on the basis of equality and mutual respect, we are ready to conduct human rights dialogue with the United States.

Yang emphasized, huge cooperation exists in both countries' economic structural adjustment. China-US military relations are enjoying good momentum of development, which needs to be valued and maintained by both sides. Our people are well disposed to each other, and there is broad space for some national, cultural, and people exchanges and cooperation. We wish to cooperate with the U.S. for the benefit of people from two countries.

At this round of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, we hope to explore with the U.S. side about the Network Security, the Climate Change. We wish to promote the global economic growth, maintain the regional stability and protect our planet together.
