President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua UniversityBeijing, People's Republic of China10:35 A.M. (Local)PRESIDENT BUSH: Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here. (Applause.) I see she's keeping pretty good company, with the Secretary of State, Colin Powell. It's good to see you, Mr. Secretary. (Applause.) And I see my National Security Advisor, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, who at one time was the provost at Stanford University. So she's comfortable on university campuses such as this. Thank you for being here, Condi. (Applause.)I'm so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China's, and the world's, great universities.This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to your Vice President. He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here. (Laughter.)I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So, congratulations. (Applause.) I don't know if you know this or not, but my wife and I have two daughters who are in college, just like you. One goes to the University of Texas. One goes to Yale. They're twins. And we are proud of our daughters, just like I'm sure your parents are proud of you.My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the Vice President mentioned. Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, in the spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said this to President Nixon: "Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world -- 25 years of no communication."During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other. And that's important. Once America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor. And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world -- as demonstrated by the knowledge and potential right here in this room. China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous China. (Applause.)As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, and some of them of our own making. Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show a strength of American commerce, but our spirit, community spirit, and contributions to each other are not always visible as monetary success.Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassador to China, tells me some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans of "bullying the weak and repressing the poor." Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to "repress the working people." Now, neither of these is true -- and while the words may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and they're harmful.In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the weak and the poor. Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves -- and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need. American compassion also stretches way beyond our borders. We're the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world. And as for the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement, they're working people; they, themselves, are working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.My country certainly has its share of problems, no question about that. And we have our faults. Like most nations we're on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice. Yet there's a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America. It's because we're a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or your circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, you can start your own business, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and help elect the leaders of your community and your country. You can support the policies of our government, or you're free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities. Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions, and overseen by a strong and fair legal system.My country's greatest symbol to the world is the Statue of Liberty, and it was designed by special care.I don't know if you've ever seen the Statue of Liberty, but if you look closely, she's holding not one object, but two. In one hand is the familiar torch we call the "light of liberty." And in the other hand is a book of law.We're a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and they are independent. The President -- me -- I can't tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch of government. Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.All political power in America is limited and it is temporary, and only given by the free vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of thethree branches of our government, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, of which I'm a part.Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country. American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving other people. An amazing number -- nearly half of all adults in America -- volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, or by visiting the sick, or caring for the elderly, or helping with thousands of other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country. People take responsibility for helping others, without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith.America is a nation guided by faith. Someone once called us "a nation with the soul of a church." This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I'm one of them.When I met President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I had the honor of sharing with him how faith changed my life and how faith contributes to the life of my country. Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law, and calls us to duties higher than material gain. Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, it's to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and to serve others, and to live responsible lives.If you travel across America -- and I hope you do some day if you haven't been there -- you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths. We're a varied nation. We're home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in the Cabinet of the President of the United States, or skating for the America Olympic team. Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as just as American as the President. America shows that a society can be vast and it can be varied, yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.And all these qualities of America were widely on display on a single day, September the 11th, the day when terrorists, murderers, attacked my nation. American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in desperation to save their fellow citizens. V olunteers came from everywhere to help with rescue efforts. Americans donated blood and gave money to help the families of victims. America had prayer services all over our country, and people raised flags to show their pride and unity. And you need to know, none of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of free people.Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared. In a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife. And dissent is not revolution. A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country.It was my honor to visit China in 1975 -- some of you weren't even born then. It shows how old I am. (Laughter.) And a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress -- inopenness and enterprise and economic freedom. And this progress previews China'a great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to China's legal system. A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people. The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges our society -- challenges society in our country, and in many successful countries. Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.Behind China's economic success today are talented, brilliant and energetic people. In the near future, those same men and women will play a full and active role in your government. This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country. They are participants in its future.Change is coming. China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level. Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words. He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level. I look forward to that day.Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. Regardless of where or how these believers worship, they're no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens. For centuries, this country has had a tradition of religious tolerance. My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship. Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games. And I'm confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.Thank you for letting me come.布什：胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

President Bush:Vice President Hu, thank you for your words of welcome. I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China's great universities.Tsinghua University was founded, with the support of America, to further the ties between our two nations.

America shows that a society can be vast and varied, and yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.All of these qualities of America were vividly displayed on a single day, September 11th, when terrorists attacked America. American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in the desperate hope of saving other lives. Volunteers came from everywhere to help with the rescue efforts. Americans donatedblood, and gave money to help the families of victims. People went to prayer services all overAmerica, and raised flags to show their pride and unity.

My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.All of these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship. Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games. And I am confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.Thank you for letting me here.（注：可编辑下载，若有不当之处，请指正，谢谢!）。

布什总统在清华大学的讲话2019-01-05布什总统在清华大学的讲话胡副主席，非常感谢你的亲切致辞。

谢谢你在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

(掌声)我看她与国务卿科林．鲍威尔在一起很愉快。

高兴在这里见到你，国务卿先生。

(掌声)我的国家安全事务助理康多莉扎．赖斯女士也在这里。

她曾经是斯坦福大学教务长，因此她对来到这样的校园会感到自在。

谢谢你的到场。

(掌声)我对我在中国、在世界上最优秀的大学之一受到盛情接待表示感谢，也感到荣幸。

很有意思的是，这所大学是通过我国的赞助建立的，目的是进一步发展我们两国之间的关系。

我知道这个地方对你们的副主席是多么有意义。

他不仅在这里拿到学位，而且更重要的是，他是在这里与他和蔼可亲的妻子相识的。

(笑声)谢谢在座的各位同学给我这个机会与大家见面，对大家谈谈我的国家，并且回答你们的一些问题。

这所大学的水准和名声闻名于世，我知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就，我向你们表示祝贺。

(掌声)我不知道你们是否知道，我的夫人和我有两个女儿，她们像你们一样都在上大学。

一个上的是得克萨斯大学，另一个上的是耶鲁大学。

她们俩是双胞胎。

我们为女儿感到骄傲，我相信你们的父母也同样为你们感到骄傲。

正如胡副主席刚才提到的，我这次对中国的访问正值一个重要的纪念日。

就在30年前的这个星期，一位美国总统来到中国。

他的中国之行的目的是结束长达数十年的隔阂和突破数百年来的相互猜疑。

理查德．尼克松总统向世界显示，两个截然不同的政府能够在共同利益的基础上、本着相互尊重的精神开始交往。

那天他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一句话："你与我的握手越过了世界最辽阔的海洋─25年的互不交往。

"从此以后的30年来，美国与中国多次为友谊和商务而握手。

随着我们两国间越来越多的接触，两国人民逐渐加深了对彼此的了解。

这具有重要意义。

过去，美国只知道中国有着伟大悠久的文明史，而今天我们看到，重视家庭、学业、荣誉的高尚传统依然是中国的特徵。

过去，美国只知道中国有着伟大悠久的文明史，而今天我们看到，重视家庭、学业、荣誉的高尚传统依然是中国的特徵。

美国总统布什在北京清华大学与学生对话的中英全文清华学生用英文提问：昨天您和江主席进行了谈话，并且开了联合发布会，您在这个会上没有清楚地回答一个问题，那就是战区导弹防御系统是否会包含台湾在内？另外，我还想问，谈到台湾问题的时候，您说和平解决，您对和平统一是怎样的看法？布什：非常好的问题，首先，我很赞赏你的英文，非常好！讲到台湾问题，很重要的一点就是美国的政府在讲到如何和平解决台湾问题的时候，总是说到和平、对话，我们强调和平这个字，我们指的是双方都要以和平的方式来解决，任何一方都不可以进行任何挑衅的行为。

我跟中国的领导人有过多次的谈话，每一次我们都强调我是支持“一个中国”的政策，而且这是长期一贯的政策，到目前为止没有改变。

至于有关导弹防御系统，我已经说得非常清楚，这是一个防御性的系统，是要帮助我们的盟友和其他一些国家来保护他们免受无赖国家的攻击，这些国家是希望发展大规模杀伤性武器的，我想制定这一点，对和平是非常有重要的，我昨天也非常清楚地说明这是事实。

我们目前正在发展导弹防御系统的过程中，目前还不知道可行不可行，但是我觉得对全世界的和平会带来贡献。

还有一点，我觉得对中国人来说，对美国人来说这一点必须要知道，美国政府希望能够以和平的方式解决发生在全世界的许多问题，那因为美国现在处理的问题非常多，好象中东的问题，你们从新闻上看到以后知道了，这是一个非常危险的时代，我们正在努力地致力于和平，我们希望克什米尔的问题也能够和平解决，这对中国也非常重要的。

我来中国以前，我到了韩国，我也明确表示，我希望以和平的方式解决朝鲜半岛的问题。

清华大学传播系学生：很遗憾，您刚才还是没有明确的回答，您总是说和平解决，而没有说和平统一。

三天前您在日本访问时，在议会发表演讲说，美国将牢记对台湾的承诺，我想问总统先生这样一个问题，美国是否还牢记他对十三亿中国人民的承诺呢？那就是遵守《中美三个联合公报》和“三不”政策。

布什：感谢您，我想台湾问题是全世界都关心的问题。

布什总统2002年清华大学演讲President Bush gives a speech at Tsinhua University （2002年）Vice President Hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife,laura, here. 非常感谢胡锦涛主席热情洋溢的欢迎致词，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

I am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China’s and the world’s great universities.非常感谢各位对我的热情接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。

The standards and the reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So congratulations.清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。

My visit to China comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly differentgovernment could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.我这次访华恰逢一个重要的纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，30年前的这一周，一位美国总统来到了中国，他访华之旅的目的是为了结速两国之间长达数十年的隔阂。

美国总统布什在清华大学的演讲全文（中英文对照）胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

我也看到我的助理赖斯女士，她曾经是斯德莫大学的校长，因此她回到校园是最适合不过的了。

非常感谢各位对我的热情的接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的一座学府之一，这所大学恰好是在美国的支持下成立的，成立的目标是为了推动我们两国间的关系。

我也知道清华这所大学对于副主席先生有着十分重要的意义，他不仅在这里获得了学位，而且是在这里与他优雅的夫人相识的。

我想同时，也感谢在座的各位学生给我这个机会跟大家见面，谈一谈我自己的国家，并且回答大家的一些问题。

清华大学的治学标准和名声闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。

我和我的太太有两个女儿，像你们一样正在上大学，有一个女儿上的是德州大学，一个女儿上的是耶鲁大学，他们是双胞胎。

我们对我们的两个女儿倍感骄傲，我想你们的父母对你们的成就也是同样的引以为荣的。

我这次访华恰逢一个重要的周年纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，三十年前这一周，一个美国的总统来到了中国，他的访华之旅目的是为了结束长达数十年的隔阂，和长达数百年的相互猜疑，本着相互利益，本着相互尊重的精神站在一起。

那天他们离开机场的时候，周总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说，你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。

自从那时以来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。

随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁，我们两国的国民也逐渐地加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常非常重要的。

曾经一度，美国人只知道中国是一个历史悠久的一个伟大的国家，有伟大的文明。

今天，我们仍然看到中国奉行着重视家庭、学业和荣誉的优良的传统，同时，我们所看到的中国正日益成为世界上一个最富活力和最富创造力的社会之一，这一点最佳的验证便是在座诸位所具备的知识和潜力。

中国正走在一个发展的道路上，而美国欢迎一个强大、和平与繁荣的中国的出现。

大家好！今天，我非常荣幸能够来到中国，来到这座世界著名的高等学府——清华大学。

在这里，我首先要向清华大学全体师生表示最诚挚的敬意和问候。

感谢你们给予我这次难得的机会，让我有机会与大家分享一些关于领导力、创新与未来的思考。

首先，我想谈谈领导力。

领导力是一种能够激励他人、引领团队向更高目标努力的能力。

作为一位曾经的总统，我深知领导力的力量。

在我的总统生涯中，我始终坚信，一个优秀的领导者应该具备以下特质：第一，坚定的信念。

一个领导者必须有自己的信仰，并且坚信自己的信念是正确的。

这种信念将指引他在困难和挑战面前保持坚定，引领团队走向成功。

第二，敢于担当。

领导者要勇于承担责任，面对困难和挫折时，要敢于站出来，带领团队共渡难关。

第三，善于沟通。

领导力离不开沟通。

一个优秀的领导者应该具备良好的沟通能力，能够倾听他人的意见，善于协调各方关系，使团队团结一致。

第四，创新思维。

在快速发展的时代，领导者要具备创新思维，敢于突破传统束缚，引领团队走向未来。

接下来，我想谈谈创新。

创新是一个国家、一个民族发展的不竭动力。

在过去的几十年里，中国取得了举世瞩目的成就，离不开创新的力量。

以下是我对创新的几点看法：首先，创新需要人才。

人才是创新的基石。

一个国家要实现创新，必须培养大量具有创新精神和能力的人才。

清华大学作为我国顶尖的高等学府，在培养创新人才方面发挥着重要作用。

其次，创新需要开放。

一个封闭的系统是无法实现创新的。

我们要打破思维定势，借鉴国外先进经验，为创新提供广阔的空间。

再次，创新需要勇气。

创新往往伴随着风险，但只有勇敢面对风险，才能实现突破。

我们要鼓励创新，为创新者提供支持和保障。

最后，创新需要合作。

创新不是孤立的，需要各领域的协同发展。

我们要加强国际间的合作，共同应对全球性挑战。

如今，我们正处在一个充满变革的时代。

面对未来，我想谈谈以下几点建议：首先，我们要关注可持续发展。

随着全球人口的增长和资源的紧张，可持续发展成为我们面临的重要课题。
