4. 壓艙石、助推器

面對經濟全球化迅速發展和各國同舟共濟的客觀需求，中美應該也可以走出一條不同于歷史上大國沖突對抗的新路。雙方同意，共同努力構建新型大國關系，相互尊重，合作共贏，造福兩國人民和世界人民。國際社會也期待中美關系能夠不斷改善和發展。中美兩國合作好了，就可以做世界穩定的壓艙石、世界和平的助推器。
As the economic globalization develops rapidly and all countries need to sail in the same boat when faced with difficulties, China and the United States should find a new type of relationship between major countries that is different from the past one featuring inevitable confrontation and conflicts. Both sides agreed to work together to construct a new pattern of relationship between great powers on the basis of mutual respect, cooperation and win-win results for the benefit of the people of the two countries as well as the world. The international community also expects the continuous improvement and development of China-US relations. When the US and China work together, we can be an anchor of world stability and a propeller of world peace.
