英国首相卡梅隆北京大学演讲全文

Just think about some of the prizes that the rise of China could help to bring within our grasp.

Strong, and sustainable growth for the global economy.

Vital progress on the Doha trade round which could add US$170 billion to the global economy.

A real chance to get back on track towards a legally binding deal on emissions.

Unprecedented progress in tackling poverty

China has lifted 500 million people out of poverty in just thirty years.

Although there is still a long way to go - that's more people lifted out of poverty than at any time in human history.

You can see the results right across this enormous country.

When I worked in Hong Kong briefly in 1985, Shenzhen was barely more than a small town, surrounded by paddy fields and waterways.

Today it is a city larger than London. It makes most of the world's iPods and one in ten of its mobile phones.

And there are other benefits too in tackling the world's most intractable problems.

I welcome the fact, for example, that more than 900 Chinese doctors now work in African countries and that in Uganda it is a Chinese pharmaceutical firm that is introducing a new anti-malarial drug.

So I want to make the positive case for the world to see China's rise as an opportunity not a threat.

But China needs to help us to make that argument to demonstrate that as your economy grows, so do our shared interests, and our shared responsibilities.
