Regular Press Conference on August 5, 2022

应孟加拉国外长莫门、蒙古国外长巴特策策格邀请,王毅国务委员兼外长将于8月6日至8日对两国进行访问。

At the invitation of Bangladeshi Foreign Minister A. K. Abdul Momen and Mongolian Foreign Minister Battsetseg Batmunkh, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit the two countries from August 6 to August 8.

应王毅国务委员兼外长邀请,韩国外长朴振、尼泊尔外长卡德加将于8月8日至10日对中国进行访问。

At the invitation of State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Park Jin, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, and Narayan Khadka, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nepal, will visit China from August 8 to August 10.

访问孟加拉国期间,王毅国务委员兼外长将同孟领导人会见,同莫门外长会谈,就双边关系和共同关心的国际地区问题交换意见。中方始终高度重视发展同孟加拉国关系,期待通过此访,推动落实两国领导人重要共识,深化互利合作,提升两国关系发展水平。

During his visit to Bangladesh, State Councilor Wang Yi will be meeting with the leaders of Bangladesh and hold talks with Foreign Minister A. K. Abdul Momen. They will have an exchange of views on bilateral relations and international and regional issues of shared interest. We highly value our relationship with Bangladesh. We hope the visit will provide an opportunity to further implement the common understandings between the leaders of the two countries, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and elevate the relationship to a new level.

访问蒙古国期间,王毅国务委员兼外长将同蒙古国领导人会见,同巴特策策格外长会谈,双方将就双边关系、务实合作以及共同关心的国际地区问题进行战略沟通。近年来,中蒙关系保持高水平发展。中方期待通过此访,同蒙方进一步加强沟通协调,增进政治互信,全面推进各领域务实合作。

During his visit to Mongolia, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will meet with the leaders of Mongolia and hold talks with Foreign Minister Battsetseg Batmunkh. The two sides will have strategic communication on bilateral relations, practical cooperation and international and regional issues of shared interest. The bilateral ties have enjoyed excellent growth in recent years. We hope the visit will further enhance communication and coordination, political mutual trust, and practical cooperation in various areas.

王毅国务委员兼外长还将在青岛分别接待韩国、尼泊尔两国外长来访。今年是中韩建交30周年,两国关系面临深化发展重要机遇。这次访问是朴振外长首次访华,也是韩国新政府上台后首个访华高级别团组。中方愿同韩方以此访为契机,加强沟通,聚焦合作,推动中韩关系保持健康稳定发展势头。

State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will also receive the foreign ministers of the ROK and Nepal in Qingdao. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the ROK. The bilateral relations face important opportunities of further development. This will be the first visit of Foreign Minister Park Jin and also the first high-level visit to China since the new government of the ROK took office. China is ready to take this visit as an opportunity to enhance communication, focus on cooperation, and sustain the momentum of steady and sound development of the bilateral ties.

中国和尼泊尔是好邻居、好朋友、好伙伴。尼泊尔外长卡德加此次访华,是对王毅国务委员兼外长3月访问尼泊尔的回访。两国外长在不到半年内实现互访,体现了中尼互信和友好。中方期待通过此访,同尼方进一步加强战略沟通,坚定相互支持,推动中尼面向发展与繁荣的世代友好的战略合作伙伴关系不断向前迈进。

China and Nepal are good neighbors, good friends and good partners. The visit of the Nepali Foreign Minister Narayan Khadka will be a reciprocal visit to State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to Nepal last March. The foreign ministers’ mutual visits within a period of six months will demonstrate the mutual trust and friendship between the two countries. China looks forward to strengthening strategic communication, cementing mutual support, and constantly promoting our strategic partnership of cooperation featuring ever-lasting friendship for development and prosperity.

总台CGTN记者:据报道,美国白宫国安会战略沟通协调员等官员称,中国对佩洛西访台反应过度,以此为借口,增加在台海地区挑衅性军事行动,制造危机。北约秘书长也附和这个观点。中方对此有何评论?

CGTN: US officials like the NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications said that “China has chosen to overreact and use the Speaker’s visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the Taiwan Strait”. NATO Secretary-General also shared his view. Do you have any comment?

华春莹:目前的局面完全是佩洛西及美国政客一手造成的。美方官员这种论调,让人有种看“穿新衣的皇帝”的感觉,美方这种傲慢自私虚伪霸道的毛病真的应该好好改一改了。

Hua Chunying: The current situation is entirely caused by Speaker Pelosi and other US politicians. Hearing this type of rhetoric from the US officials reminds people of the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes. It is time for the US to get rid of its arrogance, selfishness, and hypocrisy and bullying practices.

当前台海局势紧张的前因后果一清二楚,是非曲直一目了然,美方是主动挑衅者和危机制造者。

The context and the events that led to the tensions in the Taiwan Strait are crystal-clear. The US is the unprovoked provocateur and creator of the crisis.

台湾问题的本质不是所谓民主问题,而是事关中国主权和领土完整的重大原则问题。美方应该换位思考,如果美国某一个州试图从美国分裂出去并单独建国,而另一个国家向其提供武器和政治支持,美国政府和人民能够允许吗?

The Taiwan question is not about democracy. It is a major issue of principle about China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US needs to put itself in others’ shoes. If an American state were to secede from the US and declare independence, and then some other nation provided weapons and political support for that state, would the US government — or the American people — allow this to happen?

佩洛西窜台事件是升级美台实质关系的严重挑衅举动,严重违反一个中国原则,严重践踏国际关系基本准则,严重损害中国主权和领土完整。中方做出了最大程度的外交努力,通过各渠道反反复复警告美方佩洛西窜台事件的严重性、危害性,明确指出中方不会坐视不理,不会给“台独”分裂势力任何空间,由此造成的一切后果由美方全部负责。国际社会各方也纷纷发出预警,指出佩洛西窜台是完全不必要的恶意挑衅,将引发严重危机。可惜,美方对此置若罔闻,一意孤行。

The visit of Pelosi to Taiwan is a grave provocation that upgraded substantive exchanges between the US and Taiwan. It is a serious violation of the one-China principle. It seriously tramples on basic norms in international relations. It also seriously undermines China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. China has done everything diplomatically possible. We had repeatedly warned the US through various channels of the grave nature and severe harm of this visit. We made it clear that China will not sit by and watch; we will not allow any room for “Taiwan independence” separatist forces; and all consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the US. The international community had been warning the US of the potential consequences as well. Many openly pointed out that the visit was a completely unnecessary, egregious provocation and could trigger a serious crisis. Sadly, however, the US turned a deaf ear to all of those and just let the visit happen.

美方恶意挑衅在先,中方正当防卫在后。中方有关反制举措是对挑衅者的必要警示、对国家主权和安全的正当捍卫。现在美方及其几个跟班跳出来指责中方反应过度,如果他们真关心地区和平稳定,他们为什么不早点站起来劝阻佩洛西窜访?早知如此,何必当初?!在涉及中国主权和领土完整的问题上,中国采取的反制措施是正当的、必要的、恰当的,毫不过度。美国作为这场危机的肇事者和始作俑者,应该也必须为此承担全部责任。

China has acted in legitimate self-defense only after the US made this egregious provocation. Our countermeasures are necessary as a warning to the provocateurs and as a step to uphold our sovereignty and security. Now the US and its sidekicks have spoken up accusing China of “overreacting”. But if they truly care about regional peace and stability, why hadn’t they stood up and tried to dissuade Pelosi early on? Couldn’t they have seen this coming and prevented it? On such an issue concerning China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, China’s countermeasures are justified, necessary and proportionate, and there is nothing excessive about them. The US, as the provocateur and the one that caused the crisis, should and must assume the entire responsibility for it.

中方有关举措也是对地区和平稳定以及国际法和国际关系基本准则的坚决维护。几十年来,我们看到美国以及以美国为首的北约对国际法合则用,不合则弃,编造诸如大规模杀伤性武器等各种所谓“威胁”借口,甚至不需任何理由就对别的主权国家大打出手、发动军事战争,在南联盟、伊拉克、利比亚、叙利亚、阿富汗等地制造了多少人间悲剧和惨案?造成了多少无辜平民伤亡、多少家庭妻离子散、家破人亡,他们对此有过任何反思反省吗?对自己造成的严重后果和灾难有过任何愧疚吗?他们对这些国家人民有过任何道歉吗?有过任何赔偿吗?

China’s measures are also about staunchly safeguarding regional peace and stability and international law and basic norms in international relations. As we have seen over the past decades, the US and the US-led NATO countries have selectively applied international law. They made up various pretexts such as so-called possession of weapons of mass destruction to picture other countries as threats – and sometimes even without any valid reason – to blatantly launch military strikes and even unleash wars on sovereign countries. How many humanitarian tragedies have they created in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan? How many innocent civilians have been wounded and killed? How many families have been torn apart and lost? Have the US and other NATO countries involved done any soul-searching on these tragedies? Have they felt even a tinge of guilt for the serious ramifications and catastrophes they caused? Have they ever made an apology to the victims in those countries? And have they ever given them any compensation?

在21世纪的今天,我们绝不能允许美国自诩世界警察、国际判官,继续把别的主权国家当作可以随意跪杀的弗洛伊德。如果中国面对美方步步紧逼的干涉内政和损害主权行为无动于衷,不对美方狂躁、不负责任的行径予以坚决抵制,尊重主权和领土完整等联合国宪章宗旨和国际关系基本准则就将沦为一纸空文,占世界人口80%以上的广大发展中国家将随时可能成为下一个目标。正因为如此,已经有160多个国家近日发出正义声音,重申坚持一个中国政策,支持中国坚决维护自身主权和领土完整。这是一场霸权与反霸权、干涉与反干涉、分裂与反分裂的重大斗争。

We are living in the 21st century. The world must never allow the US to see itself as a “world policeman” or an “international judge” and continue to treat other sovereign nations like George Floyd as if the US can just bully and strangle them at will. If China does nothing about the US’s relentless interference in our internal affairs and violation of our sovereignty or does not firmly resist the US’s reckless and irresponsible behavior, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and other purposes of the UN Charter and basic norms in international relations will become nothing but words on paper. And the vast developing world which account for over 80% of the world’s population could well become the next target anytime. For this exact reason, already more than 160 countries have made their voice of justice heard. They reiterated their commitment to the one-China policy and expressed support for China’s efforts to firmly uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is a fight against hegemony, against interference and against secession.

中国历史上饱受列强侵略,今天仍然遭到美国及其几个伙计不时粗暴干涉内政、损害中国主权安全。但是,中国已经不再是120年前的中国,中国也不是伊拉克、叙利亚和阿富汗。中国人民决不允许外来势力欺负、压迫、奴役我们,谁妄想这样干,必将在14亿多中国人民用血肉筑成的钢铁长城面前碰得头破血流。中国政府和中国人民在台湾问题上的立场是一以贯之的,坚决维护中国国家主权和领土完整是14亿多中国人民的坚定意志。希望美国和那几个所谓“民主”国家跟班清楚认识到这一点,重视和尊重占人类五分之一人口的中国人民的核心利益和坚定意志。

China had historically been a victim of foreign aggression. Today, the US and several of its sidekicks still grossly interfere in our internal affairs and undermine our sovereignty and security from time to time. But China is not the China 120 years ago, and we refuse to be treated like Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan. The Chinese people will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us. Anyone who would attempt to do so will find themselves on a collision course with a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people. The position of the Chinese government and people on the Taiwan question is consistent. To uphold the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China is the firm will of the 1.4 billion Chinese people. We hope that the US and its sidekicks who style themselves as democracies will be very clear about that. They need to take seriously and respect the core interests and the firm will of the Chinese people, who account for one fifth of the world’s population.

总台央视记者:据报道,美国会参议院日前通过决议,要求认定俄罗斯为“支持恐怖主义国家”。俄罗斯外交部发言人扎哈罗娃对此表示,如美方最终认定俄为“支恐国家”,将导致俄美断绝外交关系。中方对此有何评论?

CCTV: The US Senate recently approved a resolution to designate Russia as “state sponsor of terrorism”. In response, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that Russia could sever diplomatic relations with the US if her country is placed on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Do you have any comment?

华春莹:美国向来热衷于随意给别国“贴标签”、“扣帽子”,也习惯于以道德审判者自居,对别国指指点点,用各种“莫须有”的罪名对他国进行打压遏制,霸道霸权霸凌的嘴脸暴露无遗。

Hua Chunying: The US has always been obsessed with arbitrarily pinning labels on other countries and is used to claiming itself to be a moral judge. It has been pointing fingers at other countries and using unsubstantiated charges to suppress and contain other countries. This says a lot about the hegemonic and highhanded bully that the US is.

俄罗斯是国际社会打击恐怖主义的重要力量,为应对恐怖主义威胁发挥了积极和建设性作用。这一点不会因美方的恶意诋毁而改变。

Russia is an important force for global counterterrorism efforts and has played an active and constructive role in addressing the threat of terrorism. This will not change simply because the US has made ill-intentioned, false accusations against it.

深圳卫视记者:据了解,在5日的东亚峰会外长会上,中方同美、日外长就台湾问题进行了激烈交锋。你对此有何评论?

Shenzhen TV: As we understand, the Chinese, the US and the Japanese foreign ministers had a war of words on the Taiwan question at the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on August 5. Do you have more to say on that?

华春莹:在5日举行的东亚峰会外长会上,有个别国家对中方正当的维权举措进行无理指责,但大多数国家并不认同,都理解中方的立场。

Hua Chunying: At the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on August 5, some countries made unwarranted accusations against China’s legitimate measures to uphold its rights. But the majority of countries present did not agree with those accusations and showed understanding for China’s position.

王毅国务委员兼外长现场对个别国家散布的虚假信息和不实之词逐一进行了全面、有力的批驳,澄清了事实,捍卫了主权,维护了正义。

State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a full and strong rebuttal to each of the pieces of disinformation and false accusations uttered by certain countries. He made clear what the facts are, defended China’s sovereignty and upheld justice.

凤凰卫视记者:美国决定延后试射“民兵3”洲际弹道导弹,并称这是展现负责任态度,减低不安的风险。中方对此有何回应?

Phoenix TV: The US has decided to reschedule its long-planned Minuteman III ICBM test because it is demonstrating the behavior of a responsible country by reducing security risks. How do you respond to that?

华春莹:“负责任”这话从美方说出,听起来有些别扭。

Hua Chunying: Somehow the word “responsible” sounds a bit awkward when the US uses it to describe itself.

如果美国真的负责任的话,当初就应该制止佩洛西窜台这样严重的挑衅行为,就应该撤退部署在亚太地区和中国家门口的大量军机军舰。

If the US is indeed a responsible country, it should have stopped Speaker Pelosi from visiting Taiwan early on to prevent this type of major provocation from happening. And the US should have removed the many military vessels and aircraft it has deployed in the Asia-Pacific and right at China’s doorstep.

如果美方真的负责任的话,就必须立即停止以任何理由和借口干涉中国内政,必须立即停止以“切香肠”的方式蚕食、掏空一个中国原则,必须立即停止升级美台实质关系,必须立即停止对台军售。

If the US is indeed a responsible country, it should immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs on whatever grounds or under whatever pretexts, immediately stop using salami tactics to encroach upon and hollow out the one-China principle, immediately stop upgrading the substantive exchanges between the US and Taiwan, and immediately stop arms sales to Taiwan.

路透社记者:周四,在柬埔寨举行的外长会期间,王毅国务委员兼外长在晚宴开始之前离场,这是出于何种原因?中方对此有何评论?

Reuters: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi walked out moments before the start of a gala dinner at the foreign ministers’ meeting in Cambodia on Thursday. Why did he do that? And what’s China’s comment on this?

华春莹:尽管王毅国务委员兼外长昨天日程非常繁忙,但仍然在符合国内防疫规定的前提下,专门赴东亚合作系列外长会东道主柬埔寨举行的晚宴现场,向柬埔寨副首相兼外交大臣布拉索昆致意,并与其他外长交流。


Hua Chunying: Although State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a very tight schedule yesterday, he still, in ways consistent with China’s COVID protocol, went to the venue of the gala dinner held by the Cambodian side as the host of the ASEAN-plus foreign ministers’ meetings, where he exchanged greetings with the Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn and spoke to other participants there.

路透社记者:日本昨天称,中方发射的5枚弹道导弹落入“日本专属经济区”,中方可否证实?外交部对此有何评论? Reuters: Japan said yesterday five ballistic missiles were fired by China and landed in Japan’s EEZ. Is this true and does the foreign ministry have any comment on?华春莹:中国军队在中国台湾岛附近海域开展军事演训活动,有关部门已经事先发布了安全提醒和航行警告。中方有关做法符合国际法和国际惯例。

Hua Chunying: For the Chinese military’s drills in the waters off the Taiwan Island, the Chinese competent authorities have issued safety alerts and navigation warnings in advance. The practices of the Chinese side were consistent with international law and practices.

至于你提到“日本专属经济区”,中日两国在有关海域尚未划界,不存在所谓“日本专属经济区”的说法。

As for “Japan’s EEZ” that you mentioned, China and Japan have not carried out maritime delimitation in relevant waters, so there is no such thing as what you called “Japan’s EEZ”.

巴通社记者:今天是印度在其占领的克什米尔地区采取单边行动三周年,该行动违反联合国关于相关争议领土的决议,你对此有何评论? Associated Press of Pakistan: Today is the third anniversary of India’s unilateral actions in occupied Kashmir, violating the United Nations’ resolution on the disputed territory. Would you like to comment on this?华春莹:中方在克什米尔问题上的立场是一贯明确的。该问题是印巴之间的历史遗留问题,这也是国际社会共识。我们当时就曾表示,有关方面应保持克制,慎重行事,尤其是避免采取单方面改变现状、加剧局势紧张的行动。我们呼吁印巴双方继续通过对话协商和平解决有关争议。

Hua Chunying: On the issue of Kashmir, China’s position is clear and consistent. The Kashmir issue is an issue left over from history between India and Pakistan. This is also the shared view of the international community. We stated back then that parties concerned need to exercise restraint and prudence. In particular, parties should avoid taking actions that unilaterally change the status quo or escalate tensions. We call on both India and Pakistan to peacefully resolve relevant disputes through dialogue and consultation.

湖北广电记者:据报道,美国常驻联合国代表格林菲尔德3日开始对非洲访问并称,自己此行的重点是关注美国如何帮助乌干达、加纳和佛得角应对非洲大陆遭受的粮食危机,而不是与中国和俄罗斯竞争,但非洲国家因为与中国的关系而面临债务陷阱。中方对此有何评论? Hubei Media Group: The US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield began her visit to Africa on August 3, which she said was going to focus on how the US can help Uganda, Ghana and Cape Verde deal with the food crisis that has hit the continent particularly hard — not to compete with China and Russia. She added that some African countries now face “debt traps” due to their relations with China. Do you have any comment?华春莹:中方已经反复强调,支持非洲发展是国际社会的共同责任。美方本来就应该把资源、时间和精力用在支持非洲发展的紧迫需要上,而不是把对非政策的出发点放在遏制别国在非洲的影响力上。粮食安全问题是当前非洲国家面临的突出问题。中方对此高度重视,提出了国际粮食安全合作倡议,并且积极帮助非洲国家应对粮食短缺,我们向吉布提、埃塞俄比亚、索马里、厄立特里亚等国都提供了紧急粮食援助,中方近期还将向有需要的非洲国家提供新的粮援。同时中方通过人才培养、技术交流、项目建设等方式支持非洲增强农业生产能力,助力非洲国家实现粮食自给。我们欢迎美方帮助非洲应对粮食危机,但也希望美方恪守国际关系基本准则,不要固守冷战思维、大搞单边制裁、破坏地区稳定,这些行径会严重扰乱国际经济秩序,给广大发展中国家造成严重伤害。

Hua Chunying: As China has repeatedly stressed, supporting Africa’s development is the international community’s common responsibility. The US really should spend its resources, time and energy on addressing the urgent needs of development for Africa, instead of making the suppression of other countries’ influence in Africa its African policy objective. Food security is a major issue for African countries. Taking this issue very seriously, China has put forward the cooperation initiative on global food security and has been helping African countries addressing food shortages. We have provided emergency food aid to Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea, among others. Soon we will be providing new food aid to African countries in need. Also, we have been helping Africa train professionals, sharing technologies with Africa and building projects to help African countries boost agricultural production capacity so as to support their efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency. We welcome the US’s efforts to help Africa deal with food crisis, and we also hope the US will abide by the basic norms in international relations and not cling to the Cold War mentality, slap unilateral sanctions and undermine regional stability, which are behaviors that would only severely disrupt the international economic order and seriously harm the developing countries.

说到“债务陷阱”问题,我想引用两则最近的消息。第一,英国慈善机构“债务正义”近期发布了题为《低收入国家债务风险上升,公共开支削减》的报告,指出非洲国家借自西方私营金融机构的债务是中国债务的三倍,而且利息是中国两倍,所谓中国“债务陷阱”纯属杜撰。第二,近日清华大学研究团队发布了《金融资本的陷阱:国际债券对发展中国家主权债务可持续性的影响》报告,这个报告指出西方金融资本出于逐利需要,不顾发展中国家经济脆弱、抗风险能力弱,推动非洲国家大量发行高利率欧洲债券,导致近十年非洲国家主权债券10年翻了5倍,债务压力不断上升。这些数据不会说谎。究竟是谁给非洲国家制造了债务陷阱,真相是不言自明的。

Now, about debt trap, I want to quote two latest research findings. One is a recent report released by UK-based charity Debt Justice titled The Growing Debt Crisis in Lower Income Countries and Cuts in Public Spending. According to the report, African governments owe three times more debt to Western private lenders than to China, and are charged double the interest. The accusation of a China “debt trap” is pure fabrication. The other one is a report issued by the research team from Tsinghua University titled The Trap of Financial Capital: The Impact of International Bonds on the Debt Sustainability of Developing Countries. According to this report, Western financial capital, due to its profit-driven nature, have been urging African countries to issue high-interest Eurobonds despite the economic vulnerability and weak risk resilience of developing countries. That has led to the five-fold increase in African countries’ sovereign bonds over the past decade and the rising debt pressure on African countries. Numbers don’t lie. It is quite self-evident who exactly are creating a debt trap for African countries.

长期以来,中国积极支持非洲经济发展,为非洲国家缓解资金不足、加快国家建设、增强“造血”功能提供了融资支持,得到了非洲国家的广泛欢迎和高度评价。很多非洲朋友都发自内心地对我们讲,中国是真朋友,在我们最困难的时候,是中国真心帮助了我们。我也看到有网友制作的一些照片,中国给非洲等发展中国家送去的是粮食、桥梁、道路、学校、清洁用水、医院,不像个别国家,送去的是炮弹。中非合作好不好,非洲国家最有发言权。美方有什么资格品头论足、造谣抹黑、挑拨离间中非友好?非洲需要的是真诚合作的伙伴,不是像美国这样的教师爷。我们希望美方多为自己的声誉想想,真正为非洲国家做些好事、实事。

Over the years, China has been an active supporter for Africa’s economic development. We have provided financial support for African countries in easing fund shortage, accelerating national development and enhancing capacity building. This has been welcomed and appreciated by African countries. Many African countries said to us that China is a true friend who genuinely helped them when things were most difficult for them. I also saw photos posted online showing the food, bridges, roads, schools, clean water and hospitals that China has brought to developing countries, including those in Africa, while some other countries sent over bombs. African countries are in the best position to comment on Africa’s cooperation with China. What makes the US think it can simply point fingers at and discredit others and drive a wedge between China and Africa? Africa needs sincere partners of cooperation instead of lecturers like the US. We hope the US will do something that is tangible and good for African countries, for the sake of its own reputation.

总台中国之声记者:伊斯兰国家驻华使节代表团日前访问了新疆,请介绍相关情况。 CNR: Diplomats posted in China from Islamic countries have recently paid a visit to Xinjiang. Could you share more details?华春莹:8月1日至4日,来自30个伊斯兰国家的32位驻华使节及高级外交官访问新疆。新疆维吾尔自治区党委书记马兴瑞同代表团举行了会见。代表团参访了喀什、阿克苏和乌鲁木齐,参观了清真寺、伊斯兰教经学院、博物馆、老城改造、基层社区、科技企业、绿色发展和乡村振兴等项目,同当地宗教人士、教培中心结业人员等进行了交流,深入了解新疆经济发展繁荣、宗教信仰自由、民族团结和谐、人民安居乐业的真实情况。代表团成员纷纷表示,中国政府坚持以人民为中心,推动新疆的治理和发展取得巨大成就,各族人民在这里生活非常和谐幸福,穆斯林宗教信仰自由和各项权利得到应有保障。代表团在新疆一路上的所见所闻同某些西方媒体报道是完全不同的。

Hua Chunying: From August 1 to August 4, 32 diplomatic envoys posted to China and senior diplomats from 30 Islamic countries visited Xinjiang. Party Secretary of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Mr. Ma Xingrui met with the delegation. The delegation visited Kashgar, Aksu and Urumqi, and they visited mosques, Islamic institutes, museums, old town renovation projects, grassroot communities, sci-tech companies, green development and rural revitalization projects. They have also talked to local religious figures and people who have graduated from vocational education centers. They learned a lot about Xinjiang economic development and prosperity, freedom of religious belief, ethnic unity and harmony and people’s happy lives. Many of the members of the delegation said that the Chinese government puts people at the center and has achieved a lot in Xinjiang’s governance and development. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang live a harmonious and happy life, and the freedom of religious belief and the rights of the Muslims are protected. What the delegation saw with their own eyes throughout their journey in Xinjiang is very different from what is reported by some Western media.

伊斯兰国家在涉疆问题上始终秉持正义立场。通过此次访疆,伊斯兰国家再次发出客观公正声音,这也再次充分表明个别国家编造的谣言谎言掩盖不了事实真相,操弄涉疆问题抹黑中国的险恶图谋不得人心,也不会得逞。我们真诚欢迎更多各国朋友今后有机会去新疆参访,感受新疆的美丽、和谐和发展。

Islamic countries have always held the just position on Xinjiang. Through this visit, the Islamic countries again spoke up in an objective and fair way. This fully shows again that the rumors and lies fabricated by certain countries cannot hide the truth and facts. The vile attempt of using Xinjiang-related issues to smear China will not gain support and will not succeed. We will continue to welcome friends from around the world to visit Xinjiang and to feel the charm, harmony and development of Xinjiang.

总台央视记者:这两天我们看到很多国家就佩洛西窜访台湾发出对中国的支持声音,你前两天已经介绍了一些。今天能否进一步介绍相关情况? CCTV: Over the past few days, we noticed many countries have voiced support for China over US House Speaker Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, and you shared quite some examples with us. Could you give us more updates today?华春莹:佩洛西窜台事件发生以来,已有160多个国家发出了正义的声音,纷纷谴责佩洛西访台是严重的挑衅,是非常鲁莽和不负责任的,而且都表示将坚持一个中国原则,支持中国维护国家主权和领土完整。除了前两天提到的,我可以再给大家介绍一些。

Hua Chunying: Indeed, in the wake of Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, over 160 countries have spoken up for justice, condemned the visit as a serious, reckless and irresponsible provocation and expressed their commitment to the one-China principle and support for China’s efforts to uphold sovereignty and territorial integrity. Apart from what I shared with you over the past couple of days, I have some further updates for you today.

斯里兰卡总统维克拉马辛哈通过社交媒体称,斯里兰卡坚定奉行一个中国政策,以及《联合国宪章》规定的国家主权和领土完整的原则。

Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe reiterated on social media Sri Lanka’s firm commitment to the one-China policy as well as to the UN Charter principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations.

新加坡外长维文在东亚合作系列外长会期间同王毅国务委员兼外长会谈时表示,新方明确奉行一个中国政策,反对“台独”和改变现状的单边行动。

Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said in talks with State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi during the East Asia cooperation foreign ministers’ meetings that Singapore has a clear and consistent one-China policy and is opposed to Taiwan independence and any unilateral moves to change the status quo.

泰国外交部发言人表示,尊重中国国家主权和领土完整。

Thailand’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson expressed respect for China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

老挝外交部发表声明称,老方支持中国政府通过和平方式实现国家统一,认为台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分,反对任何制造“两个中国”或“一中一台”行为。老挝外长沙伦赛在会见王毅国务委员兼外长时表示,美方近日在台湾问题上的挑衅行为违背了自己的承诺,侵犯了中国的主权和领土完整。老方坚决反对任何制造“两个中国”“一中一台”的图谋,支持中国维护国家主权和领土完整。

日本共同社记者:据报道,今天东亚峰会外长会上,日本外相演讲时,王毅国务委员兼外长和俄罗斯外交部长离场。中方能否介绍有关情况,对此有何评论? Kyodo News: According to reports, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Russian counterpart walked out of a speech by Japan’s foreign minister at today’s East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. Can you give us more information? How do you comment on that?华春莹:我不了解你说的情况。但我想借此机会提醒日方,日方领导人最近在台湾问题上表现非常不好,中国人民非常不满。

Hua Chunying: I am not aware of what you described, but I wish to use this opportunity to remind the Japanese side that the Japanese leadership has acted egregiously on Taiwan. The Chinese people are very unhappy about that.

我们已经说过,日本在台湾问题上负有严重历史罪责,没有资格在台湾问题上说三道四。今天日本首相同佩洛西会见时无理指责中方,日本外相在东亚合作系列外长会期间跟着美国国务卿散布涉华虚假信息,对中国无理指责。对此中方坚决反对。

As we have said, Japan is historically responsible for its serious wrongdoing on the Taiwan question. Japan is in no position to make unwarranted remarks on the Taiwan question. Today, when meeting with Speaker Pelosi, the Japanese Prime Minister made groundless accusations against China. During the ASEAN-plus foreign ministers’ meetings, the Japanese foreign minister joined US State Secretary in spreading disinformation on China and made unwarranted accusations against China. China firmly opposes this.

中方已经反复重申在台湾问题上的原则立场。目前的台海局势都是由于佩洛西不顾中方坚决反对和各方反复劝告,一意孤行所致。日方对美方侵犯中国主权行径选择性失明,却跳出来对维权者横加指责,公然替侵权者张目,完全是混淆是非,颠倒黑白。在台湾问题上挑衅滋事,企图以此迟滞中国的发展壮大,破坏中国的和平统一和崛起进程,将是徒劳的。

We have repeatedly made clear our principled position on the Taiwan question. The current situation in the Taiwan Strait is caused by Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in disregard of China’s opposition and dissuasion of other countries. Japan selectively ignores the US’s violation of China’s sovereignty, and yet loudly criticizes the one protecting its rights and tries to justify the other side’s violations. This is confounding right with wrong and confusing white with black. Those trying to make provocations and create troubles on the Taiwan question in an attempt to delay China’s development, undermine China’s peaceful reunification and rise will only end in vain.

路透社记者:日本方面报道,中方在军演过程中发射4枚导弹飞越台北上空,你可否证实?如果消息属实,中方有何评论? Reuters: Japan reported that China fired four missiles over Taipei during its drills. Is that true? If so, what’s China’s comment on that?华春莹:关于军演方面的问题,中方已发布消息。佩洛西窜台引发了当前的局势紧张,中方采取的一切反制行动都是正当必要的,也是恰当的。希望日方在这个问题上有正确认识。

Hua Chunying: The Chinese side has released information on the military exercise. The visit by Speaker Pelosi triggered the current tensions and all China’s countermeasures are justified, necessary, and proportionate. We hope the Japanese side will have the correct understanding on this.

***********************

如果没有别的问题,我想借此机会给大家特别是路透社、彭博社等欧美媒体记者朋友推荐一篇文章。针对佩洛西8月2日发表的《我为什么率国会代表团访问台湾》文章,中国驻美国大使秦刚8月4日在《华盛顿邮报》发表了一篇文章,题为《中国为何反对佩洛西众议长访问台湾》。这篇文章非常简洁清晰地阐释了台湾问题的由来,写得非常好。相信大家读后一定会加深对台湾问题的了解,也能更加深刻、正确地理解中国为什么反对佩洛西窜台。

If there are no further questions, I would like to recommend an article to you, especially media outlets from Europe and the US including Reuters and Bloomberg. In response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s op-ed titled Why I’m leading a congressional delegation to Taiwan published on August 2, the Chinese Ambassador to the US Mr. Qin Gang published an article titled Why China objects to Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan on The Washington Post on August 4. Ambassador Qin Gang’s article is very well written. It provides a very clear and succinct outline of the historical context of the Taiwan question. I’m sure this will help you gain a deeper understanding of the Taiwan question and a deeper and accurate understanding of why China is opposed to Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
