From the picture, we can see the president looks a little bit tired but his wife is still in good spirit.

An open letter to New Zealand

For a Better Future of the China-New Zealand Relations
Tonight, I will begin my first visit to New Zealand as the President of the People's Republic of China, bringing with me the friendly sentiments of the Chinese people to the people of New Zealand and an ardent wish to grow the China-New Zealand friendly relations.
New Zealand is a shining pearl on the Pacific Ocean, a country blessed with a hardworking, courageous and warm-hearted people, a dream place of idyllic beauty, and a land of abundant resources that are much favoured in the global market. The upcoming visit will be the third time for me to set foot on this beautiful country, and I am very much looking forward to the trip.
Every time I come across the subject of China-New Zealand relations, two touching stories will come to my mind. In May 2008, a massive earthquake struck Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province of China. A group of lovely children in Christchurch, South Island of New Zealand decided to do something for those affected in China to overcome difficulties. In spite of the cold wind of the Southern Hemisphere which was in its winter, the children went to the street and played the violin to raise money for the quake victims. In February 2011, Christchurch was also hit by an earthquake. On hearing this unfortunate news, the international rescue team of China responded swiftly and joined rescue operations immediately, contributing their share to the search and rescue of those trapped. As shown in both stories, although China and New Zealand are separated by the vast ocean, there is strong empathy between our two peoples in times of need. This is an epitome and a vivid example of friendship between China and New Zealand.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1972, the China-New Zealand relations have made historic strides forward, and practical exchanges and co-operation in various fields have reached unprecedented breadth and depth. The two countries have set many records in China's relations with developed countries. For example, China is now the largest trading partner and source of international students for New Zealand. In particular, New Zealand is the first developed country to have signed and implemented a free trade agreement with China. From more quality and inexpensive goods and services to more jobs, from more convenient people-to-people exchanges to better study opportunities, more and more visible and tangible benefits are made available to our two countries and peoples as a result of our friendly co-operation.
The journey of China-New Zealand relations proves that mutual respect and equality underpin the sustained, sound and steady growth of the bilateral ties, complementarity and mutual benefit give strong boost to the rapid expansion of practical co-operation, and the pioneering spirit and the readiness to seek common ground while shelving differences provide an inexhaustible source of strength to keep the bilateral relationship at the forefront of China's relations with developed countries. The China-New Zealand relations have gone beyond the bilateral scope and set a fine example for the pursuit of successful state-to-state relations.
In both China and New Zealand, strong winds of reform and development are sweeping across the country. The Chinese people are striving to fulfil the Chinese dream of great national renewal, comprehensively deepening the reform and opening-up programme, and advancing the rule of law across the board. New Zealand is making efforts to enhance its international competitiveness, step up infrastructure development, increase scientific and technological innovation input, and improve the economic structure. This has brought more converging interests between China and New Zealand. Aligning our development strategies effectively, we will have the rare opportunities and broad prospects for even stronger co-operation in all fields.
Under the new circumstances, friendship and co-operation between China and New Zealand have taken on a new mission. To better achieve development and prosperity in both countries, we need to join hands and build a better future of China-New Zealand relations.
Forge a new pattern of converging interests.The two countries need to advance practical co-operation in various fields and build a strong community of common interests. We should consolidate the basis of co-operation in agriculture, husbandry and other traditional sectors, and at the same time create new bright spots of co-operation. With China's strengths in infrastructure and manufacturing and New Zealand's advantages in agricultural science and technology, IT and clean energy, the two countries have much to offer to each other and may draw upon each other's strong points. The two sides should be committed to win-win co-operation, keep the markets open and create a more friendly and level playing field for our companies to access each other's market, make investment and grow businesses.
Open new horizons for cultural and people-to-people exchanges.Governments of the two countries should create conditions to facilitate more people-to-people exchanges. New Zealand is a popular filming location for more and more Chinese TV and film producers. The natural beauty of its landscape and the sincerity and kindness of its people have left the Chinese audience with very fond impressions. I am sure this will attract more Chinese tourists to New Zealand. The two countries are having talks on a television co-production agreement. This agreement, once signed, will inject new vitality into the cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and New Zealand.
Raise co-ordination in multilateral arenas to a new level.Both China and New Zealand are participants of and contributors to the current international system, and as such, we should enhance co-operation. I wish to congratulate New Zealand on its election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2015-2016. This demonstrates the importance the international community places on New Zealand's international standing and influence. China stands ready to increase co-operation with New Zealand in the United Nations, Apec, the Pacific Islands Forum and other regional and international mechanisms to advance our common interests and work with the international community to uphold regional and global peace and stability.
A famous Maori adage says, "Your livelihood is in your own hands". A new journey of co-operation for China and New Zealand is about to begin, and the future of China-New Zealand relationship is in our own hands. In the upcoming visit, I am looking forward to having discussions with the New Zealand Government and people from various sectors about ways to advance our co-operation and to joint chart the course for the growth of our bilateral ties. China is ready to move forward hand in hand with New Zealand as good partners for win-win co-operation and good friends sticking together through thick and thin, and work together for an even better future of China-New Zealand relations.

One thing is true: years ago when the Chinese leader came, the lcoal Chinese who came to protest was more than those who came to show their excited hearts. but today more and more local Chinese have themself organized to give the visiting Chinese leader a warm wellcome from their hearts and are excited to see the leaders, only a few protests are from Tibet or a few local Menbers of Parliament are for the Tibet issue , some of them are called stupid political idiots.

According to the news from CCTV4, the president has visited New Zealand for three times:

新西兰总督说：按毛利人习俗，客人来三次就成为自家人了。
习主席回答说：中国人也有相似的说法，一回生，二回熟，三回是朋友。

（我因为英文水平有限，无法确切地把这两句话翻译成英文。希望有人能帮我翻译一下，先谢谢了）

本帖最后由 hart 于 2014-11-21 08:36 编辑

中文的英文直译：A resuscitation, two back cooked, three times is a friend 。

But New Zealand Paper says: Xi"s third time is "arrives to familiar surroundings".

New Zealand Governor General says： the Maori old saying goes: Third time is to be a member of the family.

作者: hart 时间: 2014-11-21 09:26

I fell very, very uncomfortable for the above translation from Chinese into English, I read it in today's local paper, I believe it is from Xi' s interpreter.

In Chinese, here 生and 熟 have nothing to do with cook, 生 means 陌生 and 熟 is 熟悉，my interpretation for my boss when I worked in China was: we were stranger at our first meeting, and then familiar at sencond time, finally we are friends at today's third meeting.

Ok, now telling a stamp show story but different.

Two weeks ago I came to New Zealand annual stamp show in Napier, 3 hours driving from where I live. The stories were not happenning in the show, it was about the driving. On the way to Napier , I think I was still sleeping when I drove because I did't see the police car coming to me, the officier politely stopped me and give me a piece of paper worth NZ$80. The stupid thing happened again on the way back home, I reminded meself to slow down but I couldn't control myself to drive around 130k/h at 100 limited road, on the "free traffic"road,I mean no any viecle in my sight, listening to the music, so excited, oh ye! Suddently a police car on siren was after me, "where is the hell he from " I was so surprised and had to stop waiting for the closer car, this time the policeman gave me a piece of more valuable paper worth NZ$200, I complained that I already got a fine this morning, the polceman said “ you are a moron to drive over 130k, if you are not happy, you can complain on the court, and then you are a bloody idiot because you will pay the court fee plus。”

I drove in Canada for eight years but never got a speeding ticket!! The reasons were : 1) the RCMP hid themselves at the shrubs of the road divider or under the flyovers where I'll slow down. 2) the drivers on the other side would give me a signal by flashing the head lights. On the other hand, I got my tickets in the city for U turns, not stop at stop sign or passing in the school zone.

Same as HK,Canada is using point deduction system that every driver is given 15 points. Points will be "awarded" for each offence depending on the degree of traffic violation. When 15 points are met, the driver license will be suspended. The consequence is the driving insurance will be doubled or refused.

Tony, you are a good boy, I tried to be good, but sometime it was not my style, only one thing I did very well is that I never drive after drink, even only one dip because 15 year ago, I drove after one and half bottle 二锅头， the policemen stopped me, but they were there for a escaped prison,not for a drunken man.Second morning, my wife asked me what happened, I really didn't remenber what the police spoke to me and how I got home.

I drove in Canada for eight years but never got a speeding ticket!! The reasons were : 1) the RCMP hid themselves at the shrubs of the road divider or under the flyovers where I'll slow down. 2) the drivers on the other side would give me a signal by flashing the head lights. On the other hand, I got my tickets in the city for U turns, not stop at stop sign or passing in the school zone. dowager1894 发表于 2014-11-28 11:19

Why don't you admit that the real reason you had received no speeding ticket in Canada for 8 years was because you always drove faster than a speeeding ticket?

"Driving is not dangerous but the drivers are dangerous."

I was told by Mr. Ruan that he doesn't need to drive to work in Shanghai every day, as someone will pick him up. Does he have a private driver? If yes, he is a real important figure in his company as well as on Hua You Wang.

i have no doubt on the above quote except
he is not a real important figure in his company but he is a real real real important figure in his company. He never receives speeding tickets as he never drives. He got a private driver !!

Dr. Carl Marx once said "capitalists always take every opportunity to exploit working class". Engles supported his friend’s theory that bourgeoisie as a collection smells.

What we have observed above is a typical window of the united campaign organized by capitalists in developed regions against working class people in a developing country:

- a capitalist situated in a comfortable chair in New Zealand, smoking cigar;

- a big cow in Hong Kong whose invisible hands (usually in black color when visible) control nearly 1/4 world trade of the Dowager stamps, drinking Martel; and

- a quasi-bourgeoisie in the States, relentlessly engaging in profit taking.

And I don't even own a car. Why exploit my right to a driver in socialist society?

I have two more quick questions for you:

1. When your private driver to pick you up everyday, do you like to sit on the front seat or back seat?
2. Do you need to buckle up ?

He said:
1: no other seat, just standing there, dosen't care front or rear
2: because there is no belt for standing person, he has himself fixed on the car for safe.
