习近平十论中美新型大国关系 10 quotes from Xi Jinping on new model of China-US relationship

6. 不能被问题牵着鼻子走

构建中美新型大国关系是一项前无古人、后启来者的事业，没有现成经验和模式可以照搬，出现一些困难甚至波折不足为怪。有问题并不可怕，关键是我们要共同解决问题，而不能被问题牵着鼻子走。
The building of a new model of major country relationship between China and the United States is an unprecedented and innovative endeavor. There is no ready experience or model to follow and it is natural that some difficulties and even setbacks may occur. When faced with problems, what is crucial is that we work together to resolve them instead of simply finding the problem fearsome or letting it take over.

只要我们双方坚持相互尊重、聚同化异，保持战略耐心，不为一事所惑，不为一言所扰，中美关系大局就能任凭风浪起、稳坐钓鱼台。
As long as we uphold mutual respect, seek common ground while resolving differences, be firm in our determination, and remain unperturbed by individual incidents or particular comments, we will be able to keep the overall China-US relations on a firm footing despite the ups and downs that may come our way.
