2018年10月4日，美國副總統彭斯（Mike Pence）在華府智庫哈德遜研究所（Hudson Institute）發表重要政策演講，對中華人民共和國多所批評，宣示川普政府日趨強硬的中國政策。以下是彭斯演講全文中英對照。
肯恩（哈德遜研究所總裁兼執行長Kenneth R. Weinstein），感謝你的介紹。尊敬的各位理事，白邦瑞（Michael Pillsbury）博士、各位尊敬的嘉賓以及「以非傳統方式思考未來」的在座各位，能來哈德遜研究所演講是我的榮幸。
Thank you, Ken, for that kind introduction. To the Members of the Board of Trustees, to Dr. Michael Pillsbury, to our distinguished guests, and to all of you who, true to your mission in this place, "think about the future in unconventional ways" - it is an honor to be back at the Hudson Institute.
大約半個世紀以來，哈德遜研究所致力於「增進全球安全、繁榮與自由」。儘管哈德遜研究所的領導者多年來不斷更替，不過有一件事從未改變：你們總是在尋求真相，美國的領導力照耀著前進的道路」。
For more than a half a century, this Institute has dedicated itself to "advancing global security, prosperity, and freedom." And while Hudson's hometowns have changed over the years, one thing has been constant： You have always advanced that vital truth, that American leadership lights the way.
談到領導力，今天請讓我捎來在國內外發揮強大領導力的捍衛者──美國第45位總統川普的問候。（掌聲）
And today, speaking of leadership, allow me to begin by bringing greetings from a great champion of American leadership at home and abroad - I bring greetings from the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump. (Applause.)
