在美中企业界领导人圆桌会议上的讲话 美利坚合众国总统 巴拉克·奥巴马 艾森豪威尔行政大楼 2011年1月19日 Well, first of all, thanks to all of you for joining, both American and Chinese business leaders. 好，首先感谢各位美中企业界领导人参加今天的会议。 President Hu and I have had some excellent discussions, both last night in a smaller dinner and then this morning with our respective teams.
