Ambassador of the United States to the People's Republic of China| 美国驻华大使 And on behalf of the United States of America - we thank you for your party's warm hospitality at this vitally important juncture in the bilateral relations between our two global powers, thus far. As you know, this administration deeply values maintaining open communication between Washington DC, and Beijing; and the development of a healthy, fair trade relationship is, indeed, integral to that end. While I will certainly defer to the Secretary of State, upon her arrival; I would like take the liberty to once again, thank you - our gracious hosts, and if you are prepared to - let us begin.

Chairman of the Central Advisory Commission | Chairman of the Central Military Commission Thank you Ambassador Hummel. I am delighted to be able to welcome the high-level American delegation to Beijing! I hope Premier Ziyang and Minister Hua have been accommodating in the arrival of your Secretary of State. Let us begin by discussing economic matters - regarding our special economic zones, we believe investment by the U.S. government and U.S. firms interested in setting up factories there will be beneficial to both our nations and our people. The Chinese people are smart, hard-working, and eager. Working hand-in-hand with Americans in the special economic zones, I believe we can usher in a manufacturing and production renaissance. In addition to just investment and the promotion of establishments of more U.S. businesses in China, my government sees as a tightly related issue, our desire for U.S. civilian technology assistance in our industries. |

Secretary of State I must concur with the Ambassador - the gracious hospitality we've enjoyed during our short time here in Beijing has been extraordinary. And, I would certainly be remiss if I failed to thank our hosts - particularly the Premier Ziyang, Minister Hua, as well as the Chairmanship. As for the overarching topic of this groundbreaking summit - this marks a transformative point in the relationship between Washington DC and Beijing. My government understands that former adversaries must overcome historical strife and cultural differences; and that our two great nations are not exempt from this reality - in fact, we embrace this opportunity to open a new chapter in Sino-US cooperation and coexistence. Now, turning to the issue of American investment in special economic zones; the United States views this special opportunity as beneficial, and will work to mediate between American companies interested in entering such development partnerships in China. However, I must emphasize that American domestic production and manufacturing sectors will continue to reserve preferential treatment from our government in such matters - for obvious reasons. That point made - Sino-America production, through fair information sharing practices, retains the very real potential to dominate global markets; which we feel China would positively benefit from. '' Clearly, technologies is quickly becoming the life-blood of the economic marketplace. Protecting American and Chinese intellectual prosperity must be a shared priority; and principles of fair and free civilian networking (with security against theft) is obligatory to that cause. Nevertheless, in full realization of the sheer that both of our government's must do to establish the foundation of this new partnership, Washington is confidently prepared to begin making the necessary moves toward this goal. |

Chairman of the Central Advisory Commission | Chairman of the Central Military Commission We appreciate the American government's assistance in promoting American ventures to establish themselves in China and take advantage of our special economic zones. It is completely understandable that your government would, of course, prioritize support for certain US-based domestic production and manufacturing, and we have no objections to that. Unless there is anything else you want to discuss on that matter, let us move a little ahead to matter (C) next, assistance with the modernization of China's transportation network and infrastructure. Your people have built impressive roadways connecting all areas of your country, from populated cities to rural frontiers. In addition, your country has a rich history of rail development with the transcontinental railroad, much of which was built on the backs of my countryman. We would appreciate American existence with technology, planning, and logistics guidance as we look to launch new infrastructure projects greatly expanding the road, rail, and air connections between our cities and with the countryside. |

Secretary of State Your understanding is certainly appreciated, Mr. Chairman. Moving on to the matter of Chinese infrastructure - the flow of goods; services; and citizens is hallmark of any developed nation. Rest assured - helping East Asia's largest nation establish it's national transportation network is an opportunity which my government welcomes with open-arms. In fact, we feel that with the proper support system; China can become a regional economic power by end of this century. Indeed, the United States and China share a deep and complex relationship in terms of our own historical development; and this chance to square away our indebtedness to the Chinese people has great promise for both our nations, and the basis for future Sino-American partnership. I can pledge that Beijing, and more so your countrymen, will have American assistance to this end - the Reagan administration shall mediate as much. Also, I must inquire: if any of these special economic development zones require (or permit) economic cooperation in the Republic of China, or Taiwan? As you can recall, the previous administration took steps to redefine formal US diplomatic relations with Taiwan - and while we shall continue to aid a friend which we view as an invaluable economic partner; it is also our interest to be upfront with Beijing, and to reach an acceptable medium for all parties. While respecting the fact that Washington views Cross-strait relations as a strictly Chinese matter; our President strongly desires that all Chinese citizens be afforded equal opportunity to benefit from US-Chinese cooperation, free from unease and tension. |

Chairman of the Central Advisory Commission | Chairman of the Central Military Commission Regarding your inquiry regarding the Chinese residents on the island of Taiwan - per President Nixon's Shanghai communiqué in 1972 stating that there is only "one China and Taiwan is a part of China" and President Carter's formal recognition Beijing as the sole government of China in 1978, we view all residents on the island of Taiwan as Chinese citizens of the PROC. Our domestic ministry has been working on a "Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents" for our Chinese residents on the island of Taiwan which would formalize our regulations regarding travel between the island of Taiwan (of China), and the landmass of Mainland China. We intend to have very liberal and unrestricted approval of such travel, excepting criminals, threats to public security, and citizens spying for foreign countries of course. |

Secretary of State Understood - the American government is reassured by these commitments toward a united Chinese republic. We will continue observing the progress of these effort, with keen interest, from a distance. |
