習近平十論中美新型大國關系

9. 不能停留在概念上

中美建交35年來的歷史充分證明，一個良好的中美關系符合兩國人民根本利益，也有利于亞太和世界。這是中美兩國領導人共同堅持的戰略共識。現在中美新型大國關系的戰略目標是清楚的，我們不能讓它停留在概念上，也不能滿足于早期收獲，還要繼續向前走。我們要堅持從戰略高度和長遠角度出發，以積水成淵、積土成山的精神，不斷推進中美新型大國關系建設。
The 35 years since the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between the US and China have showed that a good China-US relationship is in the interests of both countries and conducive to the Asia-Pacific and the world. Leaders of both countries share this strategic understanding. Now the strategic target of the new model of major power relationship between China and US is clear, we should not let the new model stay as a concept or stop at its early harvest. We should push it forward. From a strategic and long-term perspective, China and the US should build their relations step by step.
