  Good morning. I'm speaking to you today from Beijing. In just two days, I've seen some of the rich history and remarkable changes that are taking place in China, home to nearly one- quarter of the world's population.

  China is the oldest civilization on Earth. In Xi'an, on Friday, I saw the old and the new China, from magnificent Terra Cotta Warriors sculpted by artisans 2,000 years before America was founded, to the beginnings of democracy in a nearby village, where residents soon will hold elections.

  I've been touched by the warm reception given to me, my family, and the members of Congress travelling with us. Tens of thousands of Chinese families have lined the streets to greet us. For all these people, China is changing. I see cell phones, beepers, new office buildings.

  China is no longer the same country it was when president Nixon first came here 26 years ago. Never before have so many Chinese had the opportunity to start businesses, lift their families out of poverty, choose where to live, work, and travel, and enjoy the fruits of their labors.

  Today in Beijing I am meeting with China' s leaders to talk about the future of our two countries and a relationship between us that is essential to a peaceful, stable, and prosperous world in the next century. We talked about the United States and China's mutual interests ---- promoting peace in Korea, where 400,000 U.S. soldiers still risk their lives to patrol the Cold Wars last frontier; preventing a nuclear arms race between India and Pakistan; restoring economic stability in Asia; stopping the spread of unclear soldiers chemical, and biological weapons and the misspread of unclear soldiers chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them; combating international crime and drug trafficking; preserving the environment; and opening trade.

  China is important to our future, with the largest population on Earth, a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, an economy increasingly connected to our own. Without China, it will be difficult to face the challenges. In dealing with China, we must stay true to a course that is both principled and pragmatic.We must continue to expand our areas of cooperation, even as we deal directly with out differences. With China, we can build a safer, more prosperous future for our children, a world of unlimited possibility in the new century

  Thanks for listening.

  “Benjamin Franklin,” Walter Isaacson tells us at the beginning of his long(but never boring)new biography, “is the founding father who winks at us.” By that, Isaacson explains, he means Franklin is the most human-and most modern-of the men who shaped the American republic.We admire Washington, Jefferson and Adams, but they remain creatures of the 18th century.The man we encounter in “Benjamin Franklin”-funny, pragmatic and self-aware-seems like one of us, or at least someone we'd like to be.

  Unlike Washington's cherry tree, Franklin's kite was real.His experiments with electricity made him one of the great scientists of his day.He was a middle-class businessman whose success as a printer and a journalist allowed him to retire at 42-and he devoted the rest of his life to his country.He was diplomat who persuaded the French to back the American Revolution and the author of the first great American autobiography.He was an excellent swimmer.There was almost nothing he couldn't do well, except write poetry.But what truly distinguished Franklin was his talent of being great and human at the same time.He owned slaves as a younger man, but in his last years became an abolitionist(废奴主义者).When he fathered an illegitimate(私生的)son, he acknowledged his fatherhood and took the responsibility of raising the boy.

  He seems strange today in the joy he took in compiling and creating all those self- improvement maxims he published in Poor Richard's Almanac(年鉴)-“early to bed, early to rise” and so on.Generations of lazy boys could have been happier without that.But he was no hypocrite(伪君子).Isaacson tells us Franklin practiced what he preached, and often laughed at himself while he did so.

  By a happy accident, this is the second excellent biography of Franklin to appear in two years, after Edmund S.Morgan's inspiring “Benjamin Franklin.”
