"我们把你们想得太好了，我们认为你们会遵守基本的外交礼节。所以我们刚才必须阐明我们的立场。

我现在讲一句，你们没有资格在中国的面前说，你们从实力的地位出发，同中国谈话。"

I think we thought too well of the United States, we thought the US side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China, it was necessary that we made our position clear.

So let me say here, in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it want to speak to China from a position of strength.

美国不代表国际舆论，西方也不代表国际舆论。无论是从人数上来讲，还是从世界潮流来讲，西方的舆论不能被认为是国际舆论。你们只能代表美国政府。

美国现在需要的是改变自己的形象，而不是推广自己的所谓民主。而美国自己国内现在很多人对美国的民主并没有信心，对美国的政府有各种各样的看法。

The United States itself does not represent international public opinion, and neither does the Western world.  Whether judged by population scale or the trend of the world, the Western world does not represent the global public opinion. 

So we hope that when talking about universal values or international public opinion on the part of the United States, we hope the U.S. side will think about whether it feels reassured in saying those things, because the U.S. does not represent the world. It only represents the Government of the United States.

So we believe that it is important for the United States to change its own image and to stop advancing its own democracy in the rest of the world.  Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States, and they have various views regarding the Government of the United States.
