谈中美关系：上个月，习近平主席同特朗普总统进行了一次重要的通话，两国元首确认了坚持“一个中国”原则的重要性，强调要推动中美关系在新的起点上取得更大发展。Last month, President Xi Jinping and President Trump had a very important telephone conversation where they reaffirmed the importance of following the one-China principle and pledged to push China-US relations to greater heights from a new starting point. 展望未来，我们还应该致力于两个“超越”。Looking ahead, its very important that we rise above two things.首先是超越社会制度的不同，中美各自选择了不同的制度和发展道路。中国对我们自己的社会制度和发展道路充满自信，当然，我们也乐见美国能够把自己的国家建设得更好。First, we need to rise above the difference of our social systems. China and the United States have chosen different systems and development paths. The Chinese people have great confidence in our own social system and development path; we welcome efforts to build a better United States.第二就是要超越零和博弈这种传统的思维，中美两国拥有着越来越广泛的共同利益，我们之间合作的需要远远大于分歧，在很多方面中美双方已经是利益交融。Second, we need to rise above the zero-sum mentality. China and the United States have a growing set of common interests. The areas where we need to work together on far outweigh what divides us. In many ways, our interests are increasingly intertwined. 我们应该做的是齐心合力，不断做大共同利益的蛋糕，而不是也不可能把一方的成功建立在另一方的受损之上。We should pull our efforts to enlarge our shared interests rather than building ones success at the expense of the other, because its just not possible.谈到领事保护问题（consular protection）：我们的同胞在生死关头第一时间想到的是使馆，并把使馆的救援作为坚持下去的勇气，这对于外交人员来说是一份宝贵的信任，更是一份厚重的责任。面对这份信任和责任，我们义不容辞，必当全力以赴。At a moment of life and death, our people pin their hopes on the embassy, and its what helps them persevere. Our people have great trust in Chinese diplomats and this is an enormous responsibility for us. We must never betray their trust and we must spare no effort to meet our responsibility. 哪里有困难和危险，哪里就会出现中国外交官的身影，哪里就会有五星红旗在飘扬。Whenever there is difficulty or danger for Chinese people overseas, there would appear Chinese diplomats and the Five-Starred Red Flag of China.谈中国的国际角色：首先，中国一贯主张大小国家一律平等，我们不认为应当把国家分为领导和被领导。First, China believes in the equality of all countries
