The Chinese leadership would need to be even more far-sighted than President Obama. They are in the driver's seat and if they moved towards a more open society they would have to give up some of their privileges. Right now, the Chinese public is willing to subordinate individual freedom to political stability and economic advancement, but that may not continue indefinitely. Corruption is a big problem and China needs the rule of law so that citizens can criticize the government and prevent it from abusing its powers.
中国领导人将需要比奥巴马总统更有远见。他们把握着发展方向，如果他们建设一个更开放的社会，他们就必须放弃一些特权。目前，中国大众还愿意将政治稳定和经济发展置于个人自由之上，但是，这种状况可能不会无限期持续下去。腐败是一个大问题，中国需要法律规范以确保公民有权监督政府，防止其滥用职权。
And China needs to become a more open society in order to be acceptable to the rest of the world. The rest of the world will never subordinate the freedom of the individual to the prosperity of the Chinese state. As China is becoming a world leader, it must learn to pay more attention to the opinion of the rest of the world. But all this may be happening too fast for the Chinese leadership to adjust to it. Hopefully, the Chinese leadership will rise to the occasion. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of the world depends on it. Thank you.
而且，中国需要建设一个更为开放的社会，以便能被世人所接受。世界其他国家决不会把中国的繁荣置于个人自由之上。随着中国世界领袖地位的确立，中国必须学会更多地关注其他国家的看法。但所有这些可能都来得太快，使中国领导人很难调整和适应。希望中国领导人能够对此应付自如。毫不夸张地说，世界的未来依赖于中国。谢谢。
