【正文】 ly the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic instance, Americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during World War II, and cared for by Chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing Chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those American veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate China from different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its successbecause for all our differences, both our mon humanity and our shared curiosity were one American player described his visit to China“[The] people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.”O(jiān)f course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in in three decades, just look at how far we have 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billiontoday it tops over $400 billion each merce affects our people39。m in

received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am

thethe only problem we have is these credits were working so well, there aren’t enough tax credits to go are more worthy projects than there are tax we announced the program last year, it was such a success we received 500 applications requesting over $8 billion in tax credits, but we only had $ billion to other words, we had almost four times as many worthy requests as we had tax , my attitude, and Harry’s attitude, is that if an American pany wants to create jobs and grow, we should be there to help them do that’s why I’m urging Congress to invest $5 billion more in these kinds of clean energy manufacturing tax credits, more than doubling the amount that we made available last year.(Applause.)And this investment would generate nearly 40,000 jobs and $12 billion or more in private sector investment, which could trigger an additional 90,000 , I’m gratified that this initiative is drawing support from members of Congress from both sides of the aisle, including Republican Senators Richard Lugar and Orrin , that kind of bipartisanship has been absent on a lot of efforts that Harry and I have taken up over the past year and a fought to keep Nevada teachers and firefighters and police officers on the job, and to extend unemployment insurance and COBRA so folks have health insurance while they’re looking for fought to stop health insurance panies from dropping your coverage on the basis of preexisting conditions, or right when you get sick, or placing lifetime limits on the amount of care that you can fought to eliminate wasteful subsidies that go to banks that were acting as unnecessary middlemen for guaranteed student loans from the federal government, and as a consequence, freed up tens of billions of dollars that are now going directly to students, which means more than a million students have access to financial aid that they didn39。to give an impetus to businesses to grow and ’s not some abstract ’ve seen the ’ve seen what we can do to catalyze job growth in the private one of the places we’ve seen it most is in the clean energy sectoran industry that will not only produce jobs of the future but help free America from our dependence on foreign oil in the process, clean up our environment in the process, improve our national security in the let me give you an yesterday, I took a tour of Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City, Missouri, on the way is a pany that just hired its 50th worker, it’s on the way to hiring 50 more, and is aiming to produce 500 electric vehicles at that plant alone.(Applause.)And these are spiffylooking mean, they areand they’re used by Fortune 500 panies for distributionPepsiCo, ’re also used for the United States military –electric trucks with a lot ofthey’re very strong, great the reason for their success is their entrepreneurial it’s also partly because of a grant that we’re offering panies that manufacture electric vehicles and the batteries that power of these grants, we’re going to be going from only having 2 percent of the global capacity to make advanced batteries that go in trucks and cars, run on electricitywe’re going to go from 2 percent of advanced battery market share to 40 percent just in the next five yearsjust in the next five years.(Applause.)And that will create thousands of jobs across the countrythousands of jobs across the country, not just this year, not just next year, but for decades to it’s a powe
