2. 合則兩利，斗則俱傷

作為世界上兩個(gè)大國(guó)，中美擁有廣泛而重要的共同利益，中美合則兩利，斗則俱傷。
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.

雙方應(yīng)有充分信心、持久恒心，始終抓住共同利益這一主線，不要讓這樣那樣的矛盾、分歧左右中美關(guān)系大局，要攜手走出一條大國(guó)之間和諧相處、良性競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、合作共贏的新型道路。
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.
