美国驻华大使在杭州参加商务活动演讲 本文内容：
U.S.
Ambassador
Jon
M.
Huntsman,Jr.
Address
to
Alibaba
Netrepreneur
Conference
Hangzhou,China
September
10,2010
I
want
to
tell
Jack
Ma
what
an
honor
it
is
to
be
here
representing
the
United
States
Embassy,representing
the
people
of
America,representing
so
many
friends
in
China
–
many
of
whom
you
trade
with,invest
with,you’ve
studied
with
in
university
and
schools
in
China
and
the
United
States.
//
It
truly
is
an
honor
to
be
here
in
Hangzhou.
I
think
Hangzhou
is
perhaps
the
most
beautiful
city
in
all
of
China.
It
is
historic,it
is
sophisticated,it
is
culture,and
it
is
the
home
of
the
Alibaba
gathering
–
in
its
7th
year
in
a
row.
And
it’s
just
an
unbelievable
opportunity
to
be
able
to
look
out
at
so
many
representatives
of
emerging
industry
and
business
here
in
China.
I
am
just
so
very
honored
to
be
here.
You
know
so
much
more
about
the
issues
and
the
subject
matter
than
I
do.//
Personal
Connection
to
Hangzhou
Now,the
main
reason
for
coming
to
Hangzhou
today
is
to
offer
up
a
challenge,and
it
starts
with
many
of
you
right
here
in
this
room.
The
challenge
is
simple,it
goes
like
this:
entrepreneurs
of
the
world,it
is
time
to
unite.
I
m
convinced
this
is
a
historic
time
for
our
two
countries
to
unite
around
issues
of
innovation
and
the
development,advancement,and
protection
of
ideas
--
the
fuel
that
fires
the
engines
of
entrepreneurs
everywhere
in
the
world,leveling
the
playing
field,of
all
competitors.
But
first,though,let
me
just
say
how
delighted
I
am
to
be
here
in
this
beautiful
and
historic
city.//
We
hosted
late
last
year
one
of
our
very
important
trade
conferences
between
China
and
the
United
States
and
we
talked
through
a
variety
of
market
openings,IPR,information
technology
and
service
issues.
All
matters
that
I
know
you
deal
with
and
feel
so
strongly
about
and
now
I
have
a
chance
to
come
back
and
talk
again
about
the
issues
that,I
think,matter
to
you
the
most,the
CEOs.
//
They
are
also
issues
on
which
we
can
make
common
cause
for
mutual
gain.
Our
trade
meetings
last
year
are
also
a
reminding
that
trade
and
commerce
remain
the
sturdy
backbone
of
the
U.S.-China
relationship
–
now
$400
billion
strong
and
soon
to
be
the
largest
trading
and
commercial
relationship
anywhere
in
the
world.
//
Hangzhou
also
has
a
special
place
in
the
revitalized
U.S.-China
relationship.
We
re
coming
up
in
the
40th
anniversary
of
Henry
Kissinger
s
historic
visit
here,the
first
tentative
step
toward
re-establishing
diplomatic
relations
between
our
two
great
countries.
//
At
the
time,40
years
ago,the
negotiations
were
all
done
face
to
face,secret
memos
were
passed
back
and
forth
by
hand
and
if
you
wanted
to
look
something
up
you
had
to
actually
read
a
book.
There
was
no
internet,no
email,no
cell
phones,no
Alibaba
and
Jack
Ma
was
only
around
5
or
six
years
old.
//
President
Nixon
reportedly
enjoyed
his
time
here
at
Westlake
so
much
he
said
Beijing
may
be
China
s
capitol,but
Hangzhou
is
the
country
s
heart!
My
Chinese
friends
also
refer
to
it
as
Yu
Mi
Zhi
Xiang
(land
of
plenty)//
Celebrating
Entrepreneurs
President
Nixon
s
visit
here
was
one
of
the
great
diplomatic
breakthroughs
in
recent
American
history.
It
was
a
time
(before
many
of
you
were
born)
of
estrangement,not
cooperation
between
the
United
States
and
China.
Our
relations
were
largely
defined
by
the
hostilities
in
Korea
and
Vietnam,and
the
conflicts
between
capitalism
and
communism.
//
It
took
visionary
leadership
on
both
sides
of
the
Pacific
to
bring
these
two
countries
together
and
so
much
of
that
hard
work
happened
right
here
in
Hangzhou.
Predictably,we
continued
to
have
our
differences,and
sometimes
we
still
do.
But
those
meetings,over
40
years
ago,marked
a
signal
shift
in
our
relationship,from
opposition
to,at
its
best,genuine
cooperation
and
mutual
benefit.
//
But
the
1970
s
were
in
many
other
ways
a
very
difficult
time
in
the
United
States.
The
Vietnam
War
sparked
tremendous
domestic
upheaval.
Our
economy
stalled,we
were
battered
by
stagflation,high
unemployment
and
declining
living
standards.
Beloved
leaders
in
America
had
been
assassinated.
All
around
us,confidence
in
the
American
economic
model
was
being
shaken.
Everywhere
you
looked,people
were
saying
that
America
was
in
decline
and
would
soon
lose
its
leading
role
in
the
international
system.
Even
at
home,millions
of
Americans
were
ready
to
close
our
borders
and
turn
inward.//
But
then
an
interesting
thing
happened
that
we
have
seen
in
other
chapters
of
our
history.
Our
economy
bounced
back
stronger
than
ever,thanks
in
large
part
to
our
fundamental
belief
in
the
powers
of
an
open
marketplace.
Maybe
it
s
because
we
are
a
nation
of
immigrants,or
maybe
it
s
because
we
stretch
from
the
Atlantic
to
the
Pacific
Oceans,but
even
during
the
toughest
times,we
always
believed
in
the
power
of
freedom
and
always
valued
engagement
over
isolationism.
//
We
welcomed
tens
of
thousands
of
international
students
(maybe
even
some
of
you
or
your
family
members)
to
our
universities,as
we
continue
to
do
today.
Students
who
return
to
their
home
countries
armed
with
uniquely
American
ideas
and
approaches,planting
their
own
seeds
of
innovation
and
enterprise.
We
attracted
brainpower
to
the
United
States,and
we
still
do.//
Talent
that
helped
fuel
our
economic
engine
when
we
needed
it
the
most
and
became
valued
and
equal
members
of
American
society.
We
created
industry
clusters
where
scientists
and
entrepreneurs
could
interact
and
exchange
ideas
–
creating
incubators
for
future
ideas
and
future
business
opportunities-
this,too,continues
today.//
The
best
example
and
one
I
am
sure
you
are
all
familiar
with,is
Silicon
Valley,which
not
only
helped
launch
the
computer
revolution
but
established
a
certain
recipe
for
success
that
serves
as
a
model
for
similar
technology
hubs
throughout
the
world,from
Brooklyn
to
Beijing.
Our
commitment
to
open
markets
and
an
open
society
resulted
in
a
flurry
of
innovation
and
new
technologies
that
revitalized
our
economy,ultimately
creating
some
30
million
new
jobs.//
It
was
innovation,and
the
entrepreneurial
culture
that
fostered
it,that
helped
drag
the
United
States
out
of
the
economic
challenges
and
doldrums
of
the
1970
s
and
set
up
three
decades
of
unprecedented
growth
and
prosperity.//
Now
both
countries
have
experienced
both
enormous
growth
and
change
since
our
modern
relationship
began
40
years
ago.
I
suspect
the
pace
of
change
will
advance
beyond
anyone’s
comprehension
in
years
to
come.
And
I
am
guessing
the
driver
will
be
the
development
of
ideas
in
health,energy,transportation
–
just
to
name
a
few.
So
here
s
the
question:
is
there
a
central
role
for
innovation
in
the
U.S.-China
relationship
that
speaks
to
where
we
want
to
find
ourselves
in
the
future?
If
so,and
I
believe
there
is
–
then
let
s
get
moving!
