4、l of you know, this cus was once home to yenching university which was founded by american missionaries. many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an american architect. thousands of americans students and professors have e here to study and teach. we feel a special kinship with you.i am, how

5、ever, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago. in june of 1919, the first president of yenching university, john leighton stuart, was set to deliver the very first mencement address on these very grounds. at the appointed hour, he app

6、eared, but no students appeared. they were all out leading the may 4th movement for chinas political and cultural renewal. when i read this, i hoped that when i walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here. and i thank you for being here, very much.

7、ars, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students. your graduates are spread throughout china and around the world. you have built the largest university library in all of asia. last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors. an

8、d in this anniversary year, more than a million people in china, asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site. at the dawn of a new century, this university is leading china into the future.i e here today to talk to you, the next generation of chinas leaders, about the critical importance to you

9、r future of building a strong partnership between china and the united states.the american people deeply admire china for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology. we remember well our strong partnership in world war ii. n

10、ow we see china at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.just three decades ago, china was virtually shut off from the world. now, china is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations - e

11、nterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development. you have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale. today, 40,000 young chinese study in the united states, with hundreds of thousands more learning in asia, africa, europe, and latin america.of course,

12、these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your enviro_ent. once every urban chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise. now you must pete in a job market. once a chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a

13、 central planner in beijing. now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world. for those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.in the short-term, good, hardworking people - some, at least will find themselves

14、 unemployed. and, as all of you can see, there have been enormous enviro_ental and economic and health care costs to the development pattern and the energy use pattern of the last 20 years - from air pollution to deforestation to acid rain and water shortage.in the face of these challenges new syste

15、ms of training and social security will have to be devised, and new enviro_ental policies and technologies will have to be introduced with the goal of growing your economy while improving the enviro_ent. everything i know about the intelligence, the ingenuity, the enterprise of the chinese people an

16、d everything i have heard these last few days in my discussions with president jiang, prime minister zhu and others give me confidence that you will succeed.as you build a new china, america wants to build a new relationship with you. we want china to be successful, secure and open, working with us

17、for a more peaceful and prosperous world. i know there are those in china and the united states who question whether closer relations between our countries is a good thing. but everything all of us know about the way the world is changing and the challenges your generation will face tell us that our

18、 two nations will be far better off working together than apart.the late deng xiaoping counseled us to seek truth from facts. at the dawn of the new century, the facts are clear. the distance between our two nations, indeed, between any nations, is shrinking. where once an american clipper ship took

19、 months to cross from china to the united states. today, technology has made us all virtual neighbors. from laptops to lasers, from microchips to megabytes, an information revolution is lighting the landscape of human knowledge, bringing us all closer together. ideas, information, and money cross th

20、e pla at the stroke of a puter key, bringing with them extraordinary opportunities to create wealth, to prevent and conquer disease, to foster greater understanding among peoples of different histories and different cultures.but we also know that this greater openness and faster change mean that pro

21、blems which start beyond one nations borders can quickly move inside them - the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the threats of organized crime and drug trafficking, of enviro_ental degradation, and severe economic dislocation. no nation can isolate itself from these problems, and no nation ca

22、n solve them alone. we, especially the younger generations of china and the united states, must make mon cause of our mon challenges, so that we can, together, shape a new century of brilliant possibilities.in the 21st century - your century - china and the united states will face the challenge of s

23、ecurity in asia. on the korean peninsula, where once we were adversaries, today we are working together for a permanent peace and a future freer of nuclear weapons.on the indian subcontinent, just as most of the rest of the world is moving away from nuclear danger, india and pakistan risk sparking a

24、 new arms race. we are now pursuing a mon strategy to move india and pakistan away from further testing and toward a dialogue to resolve their differences.in the 21st century, your generation must face the challenge of stopping the spread of deadlier nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. in the

25、 wrong hands or the wrong places, these weapons can threaten the peace of nations large and small. increasingly, china and the united states agree on the importance of stopping proliferation. that is why we are beginning to act in concert to control the worlds most dangerous weapons.in the 21st cent

26、ury, your generation will have to reverse the international tide of crime and drugs. around the world, organized crime robs people of billions of dollars every year and undermines trust in gover_ent. america knows all about the devastation and despair that drugs can bring to schools and neighborhood

27、s. with borders on more than a dozen countries, china has bee a crossroad for smugglers of all kinds.last year, president jiang and i asked senior chinese and american law enforcement officials to step up our cooperation against these predators, to stop money from being laundered, to stop aliens fro

28、m being cruelly smuggled, to stop currencies from being undermined by counterfeiting. just this month, our drug enforcement agency opened an office in beijing, and soon chinese counter s experts will be working out of washington.in the 21st century, your generation must make it your mission to ensur

29、e that todays progress does not e at tomorrows expense. chinas remarkable growth in the last two decades has e with a toxic cost, pollutants that foul the water you drink and the air you breathe - the cost is not only enviro_ental, it is also serious in terms of the health consequences of your peopl

30、e and in terms of the drag on economic growth.enviro_ental problems are also increasingly global as well as national. for exle, in the near future, if present energy use patterns persist, china will overtake the united states as the worlds largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the gases which are the

31、 principal cause of global warming. if the nations of the world do not reduce the gases which are causing global warming, sometime in the next century there is a serious risk of dramatic changes in climate which will change the way we live and the way we work, which could literally bury some island

32、nations under mountains of water and undermine the economic and social fabric of nations.we must work together. we americans know from our own experience that it is possible to grow an economy while improving the enviro_ent. we must do that together for ourselves and for the world.building on the wo

33、rk that our vice president, al gore, has done previously with the chinese gover_ent, president jiang and i are working together on ways to bring american clean energy technology to help improve air quality and grow the chinese economy at the same time.but i will say this again - this is not on my re

34、marks - your generation must do more about this. this is a huge challenge for you, for the american people and for the future of the world. and it must be addressed at the university level, because political leaders will never be willing to adopt enviro_ental measures if they believe it will lead to

35、 large-scale unemployment or more poverty. the evidence is clear that does not have to happen. you will actually have more rapid economic growth and better paying jobs, leading to higher levels of education and technology if we do this in the proper way. but you and the university, munities in china, the united states and throughout the world will have to lead the way.
