2016李克强答中外记者提问(12)

我们双边贸易额达到5200多亿美元，粗略算的话，每一个工作小时，中美之间可能有1亿美元的生意已经做成了。何况我们现在还正在进行中美投资协定的谈判，中美合作的潜力巨大，要在增强互补性上多做文章。所谓智者求同，愚者求异，变是向有利于中美双方、有利于两国关系稳定的方向去走，还是要择宽处行，谋长久之利。谢谢。

Li Keqiang: The China-US relationship, in essence, is a relationship between the largest developing country and largest developed country in the world. Last year,

President Xi Jinping and President Obama had a meeting in California and reached the important consensus of building a new model of major-country relationship between China and the United States. This relationship has the defining feature of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. China and the United States are different in history, culture and stage of development. So it’s only natural that these two countries have some differences and there are also some frictions in their

cooperation. But these are pains amidst growing cooperation. As long as the two sides respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, properly manage differences and engage in equal consultations, in particular, continue to expand their converging interests, they can further raise the level of this relationship. The common interests between China and the United States far outweigh their differences,the volume of

bilateral trade registered over 520 billion U.S. dollars last year.There is much more that we can do to further unleash the potential of Sino-U.S. cooperation. We need to make the most of our complementarity. As a Chinese saying goes, the wise people will seek their common interests, while the unwise ones will focus on their differences. Whatever change may take place, it should be conducive to both countries and the sound and steady development of Sino-U.S. ties. China and the U.S. need to focus more on common ground in pursuit of long-term benefits.

[中国日报记者]总理您好。您在报告里讲改革要有壮士断腕的决心、背水一战的气概，还要抓住牵一发动全身的举措，那么今年您觉得最应该从哪些领域突破？谢谢总理。

China Daily: In your government work report, you said that the government will

pursue reform with utmost determination and focus on those reform steps that will have an overall impact. I would like to ask: what is the top priority on the government reform agenda this year?

[李克强]党的十八届三中全会提出要全面深化改革，也就是要把改革贯穿到经济社会发展的各个领域、各个环节。我回想了一下，去年以来国务院开了40次常务会议，其中有30次是研究改革相关的议题，即使是其他议题我们也是在用改革的精神研究和推进的。其基本取向那就是让市场发力、激活社会的创造力，政府尽应尽的责任，让人民受惠。这也使我回想起30多年前，我在农村作村干部，那时候起早贪黑，恨不得把每个劳动力当天干什么都给定下来，结果呢？到头来就是吃不饱肚子。后来搞承包制，放开搞活，农民
