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

9. 不能停留在概念上

中美建交35年来的历史充分证明，一个良好的中美关系符合两国人民根本利益，也有利于亚太和世界。这是中美两国领导人共同坚持的战略共识。现在中美新型大国关系的战略目标是清楚的，我们不能让它停留在概念上，也不能满足于早期收获，还要继续向前走。我们要坚持从战略高度和长远角度出发，以积水成渊、积土成山的精神，不断推进中美新型大国关系建设。
The 35 years since the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between the US and China have showed that a good China-US relationship is in the interests of both countries and conducive to the Asia-Pacific and the world. Leaders of both countries share this strategic understanding. Now the strategic target of the new model of major power relationship between China and US is clear, we should not let the new model stay as a concept or stop at its early harvest. We should push it forward. From a strategic and long-term perspective, China and the US should build their relations step by step.
