China, US 'share Same Aspirations'

"Today, many cargo ships are busy crossing the Pacific Ocean, laden with the rich fruit of our strong trade ties and friendship between our two peoples," Hu said. "I am sure that with the further deepening of China's reform and opening up, we are going to see even broader prospects for economic co-operation and trade between China and Washington state and China and the United States as a whole." Despite differences in social systems and cultural traditions, Hu said, China and the United States pursue the same goal of promoting economic and social development and making life better for their peoples. http://english.people.com.cn/200604/21/eng20060421_260144.html
