Features: This book includes 30 speeches delivered by foreign national and government leaders during their visits to China in recent years (including a few from the early and mid-1970s). These speeches not only reflect the foreign policies of the respective countries and their principled stances on international situations and major global issues but also demonstrate vivid language, conciseness, rigorous logic, and diverse styles, fully embodying the characteristics of contemporary political speeches. They serve as excellent examples of diplomatic addresses and hold certain reference value for the study of international relations, particularly for learning contemporary political and diplomatic English. The book primarily features speeches by leaders from English-speaking countries but also includes selected speeches by leaders from other countries delivered in English. The selection focuses on the textual features of the speeches and does not indicate whether their content or views are endorsed. For the convenience of readers in comparing and reading, the book is arranged in a bilingual English-Chinese format.
