习近平十论中美新型大国关系

2. 合则两利，斗则俱伤

作为世界上两个大国，中美拥有广泛而重要的共同利益，中美合则两利，斗则俱伤。
As two major countries in the world, China and the United States have important interwoven interests. History shows that when we properly handle each other's core and major interests, China-US relations will grow smoothly. Otherwise, they will be in trouble.

双方应有充分信心、持久恒心，始终抓住共同利益这一主线，不要让这样那样的矛盾、分歧左右中美关系大局，要携手走出一条大国之间和谐相处、良性竞争、合作共赢的新型道路。
China and the US should have confidence in each other and stick to cooperation on mutual interests. The two sides should work together on a new way of harmonious coexistence, healthy competition and cooperative win-win, without being disturbed by disputes or differences.
