Remarks at Event Celebrating People to People Engagement

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
National Performing Arts Center

Beijing, China

May 25, 2010

SECRETARY CLINTON: I am delighted to join State Councilor Liu and Vice Minister Hao Ping at this magnificent national center for the performing arts. It is a personal pleasure for me to be here with all of you for the launching of this very important U.S.-China high-level consultation on people-to-people exchange.

I am pleased to announce it will be accompanied today by a delegation of distinguished Americans who are committed to expanding citizens' engagement between our countries. And our effort will be coordinated by Under Secretary Judith McHale in the months ahead with a broad range of officials throughout our government who are here in Beijing for the second round of the U.S.-China strategic and economic dialogue. This is the premier convening mechanism for building cooperation between our two governments.

This relationship, however, must extend beyond the halls of governments to our homes, businesses, and schools. We need Chinese and Americans of all ages, professions, and (inaudible) to get to know one another, to understand each other better, to connect and collaborate.

In his speech on Monday, President Hu Jintao spoke about how important this is to both our countries. What we call people-to-people diplomacy has taken on greater significance, as our world has grown more interdependent, and our challenges more complex. Government alone cannot solve the problems that we face. And as State Councilor Liu said, we have to tap in to the challenge of our people, their creative and innovation, and their ability to forge lasting relationships that build trust and understanding.

It is exciting for me to see so many of you here today from both China and the United States who are committed to this relationship. As I was coming in, I met some of the leading Chinese Olympic athletes whom I have watched over the years and admired.

And we have students from both of our countries represented here, tens of thousands of Chinese and American young people studying in each other's country each year. We want to see those numbers rise. President Obama has announced a goal of sending 100,000 American students to China in the next 4 years to learn Mandarin and experience the hospitality of the Chinese people. We call it 100,000 Strong, and we are grateful for the support that the Government of China has shown for this project. And I especially want to thank Madam Liu for her leadership in this effort. It was just about a year ago that she and I first met to discuss the importance of people-to-people exchanges. And here we are today, announcing a significant commitment.

A few minutes ago Madam Liu and I met with several American exchange students, including: a high school student who is living with a host family here in Beijing, a college student who has performed with the Beijing Music Ensemble, and a doctoral student doing research in renewable energy education.

A few days ago I visited the Shanghai Expo and met the young American student ambassadors who had already welcomed more than 700,000 visitors to the USA Pavilion. They have all studied Mandarin. And they come from cities and towns across the United States. They will return home having shared the experience of being part of the Expo, and meeting people from all over China and the world. Many more American and Chinese students want and deserve similar opportunities, and I applaud the announcement today that there will be 10,000 Chinese students supported to get their Ph.D.'s in the United States.

China has established dozens of Confucius institutes across the United States that offer Chinese language instruction and cultural programs to help Americans better understand China. We would like to see similar American language and culture centers on the campuses of Chinese universities. I understand that a proposal between an American university and a Chinese partner for an American study institute is now under review. And we hope the Chinese Government will support this proposal and others like it, paving the way for an even more vibrant exchange of language and culture.

The U.S.-China Fulbright program, one of the largest in the world, and represented here by some of the Fulbright scholars, has helped 2,500 Americans and Chinese students and scholars study, teach, and conduct research at each others' universities. The U.S.-China Friendship volunteers teach English in four provinces in China. And we would like to broaden their support for English language instruction in China, including county-level teacher training, smaller cities and colleges, and additional provinces.

These opportunities provide new perspectives on this fast-changing world that we both share. And they remind us of how much we have in common. Despite our differences and the distance between us, we share common aspirations. And I believe the more we talk and learn from each other, the greater our chances of making progress together.

And education is just the beginning. Professional, creative, scientific, and cultural exchanges also hold great potential. Sesame Workshop, a non-profit organization that produces Sesame Street, an educational television program beloved by generations of American children, recently formed a partnership to produce children's educational programming in China. Tulane University in New Orleans has partnered with east China's (inaudible) university in Shanghai, to trade (inaudible) in disaster response and wetland management. And the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra recently (inaudible) famous 1973 visit to China, playing at both the Shanghai Expo and here, at the Center.

To bring together women to the public and private sectors I have discussed a proposal with Madame Liu for a U.S.-China women's leaders forum. And the relationship between our two countries will change the 21st century. We want it to be a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship. We want it to be based on our people-to-people outreach and understanding. Our people represent our greatest resource in both of our countries. And encouraging their mutual engagement will better ensure that the United States and China make the most of this exciting time in our shared history.

Thank you very much.

(Applause.)

Innovation is practical for a real need. It is not a random process. "When it works, it works because someone has identified a real need, and found a way to bring new ideas or new technologies to bear on that need," said Lewis W. Lehr. An innovator's life is governed by "to create" lists. She or he is incessantly pursuing new possibilities and refinning existing ones.

To invent is an innovation. To imitate is also a kind of innovation (especially at those time of 'Japan is the first!') .......

Cao Speaks on House Floor Celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Anh "Joseph" Cao (LA-02) took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, co-sponsoring Rep. Honda抯 (CA-15) resolution to celebrate the Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to their communities and the nation.

Since entering Congress for Louisiana抯 2nd District, Representative Cao has strongly supported and advocated for the Vietnamese American and Asian American communities who comprise a large population within his district.

During his speech, Congressman Cao spoke of the struggles facing Vietnamese Americans in the Gulf in light of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. He also shared a personal story of his family and the resiliency of the Asian Americans:

揗y family is but only one example of the thousands of Asian American families that have faced and overcome struggles with dignity and bravery. This just gives you a glimpse of the resiliency and the strength that is inherent in the Asian American culture allowing those, like my family, to survive ?just as those along the Gulf Coast will.敀

Tony --

The primary election here in Nevada is on Tuesday, June 8th -- but every day is Election Day because early voting started this past weekend.

From now through Friday, June 4th, you can go to the polls any day that's convenient for you. After that, you can go to your regular polling place from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. on Election Day, June 8th.

Good Morning,

"Thank God for the courage He has given you in the past and ask Him to help you face future spiritual battles without retreat or compromise."...JOHN MacARTHUR

OUR RIGHTS...Whenever our right becomes the guiding factor of our lives, it dulls our spiritual insight. The greatest enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but good choices which are not quite good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best. Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us. We have to learn to walk according to the standard which has its eyes focused on God. And God says to us, ~{!0~}. . . walk before Me. . .~{!1~} ( Genesis 17:1 ).

Developing steadfast trust takes time...We are born spiritually through simple, childlike faith that receives Jesus as Savior. Convictions are nourished by a growing knowledge of God and a deepening confidence in Him. Experiencing His protection, provision, and power in moments of testing strengthens our beliefs. Knowing and trusting God through His Son, experiencing His presence, and living obediently are the elements needed to develop an unshakable faith. Jesus Himself said that our work is to believe in Him (John 6:29). With the Holy Spirit's guidance and our cooperation, each of us can have a steadfast faith...CHARLES STANLEY

Jesus' comments about worry do not mean that
we should refuse to think about the future, but rather that we are to
not be anxious about the future. The Scriptures are filled with
warnings about the futility of anxiety. God's good hands are infinitely better than "Allstate"! His "insurance" (read assurance) will take care of our future problems far better than any amount of worry!...DAILY HEARTLIGHT

INSIGHT FOR TODAY...None of us is above falling, no matter where we are in our spiritual walk. Our regular prayers ought to include what Jesus teaches us to pray: "Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13). Again, Jesus says, "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation" (Matthew 26:41). The price of our spiritual welfare is eternal vigilance...WALK THRU THE BIBLE

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Mighty and Holy God, You are incredible -- beyond my
comprehending. I ask that You release the Holy Spirit to convict my
heart and guard my lips from any form of hurtful speech. I want my
voice to be as much Yours as my heart is. This I pray through
Jesus. Amen.

Requirements for Victory
by Charles R. Swindoll

1 John 5:4-7

According to Scripture, three things are required for spiritual victory: birth, faith, and truth. In order to enter into the ranks of the victorious, we must be "born of God." It occurs when I accept Jesus Christ as Savior.

Then comes faith. I draw upon the power that is in me. I no longer operate on the basis of human strength, but by faith. I rely upon divine power.

Then is truth. Everything is made possible by the truth, by believing the truth, by living the truth. Allow the truth to invade, reshape, and cultivate your life anew.

Tell me, have you had such a birth?

If so, are you operating in faith?

And the truth---is it the truth you are claiming?

If you've answered yes to all three questions, then it's time for action. Quit hiding behind those excuses! Stop telling yourself it's too late! It is never too late to start doing what is right. Start now. Trust me, you can move from the realm of defeat and discouragement to victory and hope if you will simply take action now.

Aim high. Go hard after God. Press on.

Everything is made possible by the truth.
