主持例行記者會

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying's

Regular Press Conference on January 22, 2018

1　　問：據報道，美國國防部近日發(fā)表了《2018國防戰(zhàn)略報告》，該報告涉華部分對中國進行多方指責，認為中方未來的戰(zhàn)略意圖是想取代美國的全球主導地位。中方對此有何評論?

Q: According to reports, the US Department of Defense published the 2018 National Defense Strategy Summary recently, which made much criticism on China and said that China's strategic intention in the future is to seek displacement of the United States to achieve global preeminence in the future. What's your comment?

答：關于美方這份報告，中國國防部發(fā)言人1月20日已闡明了中方的嚴正立場，相信大家已經了解。

A: The Spokesperson of China's Defense Ministry already stated China's solemn position on this US report on January 20. I believe you are all aware of that.

美方上述報告充滿冷戰(zhàn)思維和“零和”博弈過時觀念，蓄意歪曲中國外交和國防政策，渲染大國戰(zhàn)略競爭，犯了根本性的錯誤。

This above-mentioned report is full of the outdated cold-war mentality and zero-sum game mindset, which intentionally distorts China's foreign and national defense policies and plays up strategic competition between major countries. This is fundamentally wrong.

中國始終不渝走和平發(fā)展道路，始終奉行防御性的國防政策，始終是世界和平的建設者、全球發(fā)展的貢獻者、國際秩序的維護者，這是國際社會有目共睹的。

Unswervingly sticking to the path of peaceful development and following a national defense policy that is defensive in nature, China has always been the builder of world peace, contributor to global development and defender of international order, which is there for all to see.

到底是誰對國際規(guī)則合則用、不合則棄?是誰動輒干涉別國內政、甚至以武力相威脅?相信世界各國人民對此看得很清楚，自有公論。

Who is really applying international rules in a selective way? Who is wantonly interfering in other countries' internal affairs and even resorting to the threat of force? I believe people around the world can see that clearly and have their fair judgment.

我們希望美方摒棄冷戰(zhàn)思維，正確看待當今世界和中美關系，停止歪曲中方戰(zhàn)略意圖，而應同中方相向而行，相互尊重，聚焦合作，管控分歧，維護中美關系長期健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展，這才是符合中美兩國和世界各國利益的正確選擇。

We hope the US will discard the cold-war mentality, put the world today and China-US relations in perspective, stop distorting China's strategic intention, and work for the shared goal with China. We need to respect each other, focus on cooperation and manage differences in an effort to uphold the long-term sound and steady development of China-US relations. This is truly the right choice that serves the interests of both China and the US and the world at large.

2　　問：據報道，美國政府官員周五稱，美國當年支持中國加入世貿組織是錯誤的，因為這并沒有使中國經濟更開放。中方對此有何評論?

Q: According to reports, an US government official said on Friday that the US mistakenly supported China's membership to the WTO, which has failed to open China's economy. What is your comment?

答：中國自從加入世貿組織以來，嚴格遵守規(guī)則，認真履行義務，為多邊貿易體制的有效運轉和發(fā)展作出了重要貢獻，各國也從同中國的貿易中獲益。同時，中國始終堅持走改革開放道路，堅定支持開放型世界經濟，不斷完善營商環(huán)境，是多邊貿易體制的維護者、建設者、貢獻者。事實上，世貿組織成員普遍對中國堅持多邊貿易體制表示肯定，并期待中國在多邊貿易體制中發(fā)揮更大作用。

A: Since its accession into the WTO, China has strictly observed the organization's rules, faithfully fulfilled its obligations and made important contributions to the effective functioning and development of the multilateral trading system. Moreover, other countries have benefited from their trade with China. China has always been committed to the path of reform and opening-up, firmly supporting an open world economy, continuously improving business environment as well as upholding, building and contributing to the multilateral trading system. In fact, there is wide approval among the WTO members of China's commitment to the multilateral trading system and they look forward to a bigger role played by China in the system.

與此同時，大家都看到了，恰恰是美國采取的單邊主義做法、發(fā)出的單邊主義聲音，是對多邊貿易體制前所未有的挑戰(zhàn)。許多世貿組織成員已對此表達了擔憂。我們希望美方正確看待中國，同時以自身實際行動切實維護多邊貿易體制。

At the same time, as we all can see, it is exactly the US that acts and speaks in a unilateral manner and poses an unprecedented challenge to the multilateral trading system, over which many WTO members have expressed their concern. We hope the US can look at China correctly and take concrete actions to uphold the multilateral trading system.

我們已經多次說過，中美經貿關系本質上是互利共贏的。作為世貿組織的重要成員，中美雙方都應維護世貿組織規(guī)則的權威性，共同完善以世貿組織為核心、以規(guī)則為基礎、公平開放的多邊貿易體制。

As we said many times, the trade between China and the US is mutually beneficial and win-win in essence. As important members of the WTO, both China and the US should jointly uphold the authority of the WTO rules and improve the fair, open and rules-based multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core.

3　　問：據報道，印尼防長里亞米扎爾德日前在“瑞希納對話會”上表示，南海局勢得以降溫，我們必須以有利方式保持這一勢頭，以維護共同利益。我們必須感謝中國更加開放的善意及合作維護亞洲區(qū)域安全架構的意愿。中方對此有何評論?

Q: According to reports, Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said at the Raisina Dialogue recently that the situation in the South China Sea has eased, and the momentum needs to be maintained in a favorable way for the sake of common interests. He also added that we need to appreciate China's goodwill in opening itself and readiness to work together in strengthening the regional security architecture in Asia. What's your comment?

答：中方對印尼防長的有關表態(tài)表示贊賞。中國有句古話講：“以誠感人者，人亦誠而應”。這體現了中國和東盟國家共同維護南海和平穩(wěn)定的堅定、積極和真誠的意愿。

A: China appreciates relevant remarks by the Indonesian Defense Minister. As a Chinese saying goes, "treat others with sincerity and you will be treated the same way in return". This fully testifies to the willingness of China and ASEAN countries to jointly uphold peace and stability in the South China Sea.

中國同東盟國家建立的信任是彌足珍貴的，穩(wěn)定南海局勢的成果是來之不易的。中方愿繼續(xù)與有關各方一道，以全面、有效落實《南海各方行為宣言》精神為指引，積極推進“南海行為準則”磋商和海上務實合作，共同致力于維護南海地區(qū)和平穩(wěn)定與繁榮發(fā)展。

The trust between China and ASEAN countries is so precious and the stability in the South China Sea is a hard-won outcome. Guided by the principle of comprehensive and effective implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC), China stands ready to continue to work with relevant parties to vigorously advance the consultation on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) and maritime practical cooperation and commit ourselves to upholding peace, stability, prosperity and development in the South China Sea.

4　　問：我們注意到，日本NHK電視臺昨晚播出731部隊紀錄片，詳細揭露了日本731部隊在中國東北地區(qū)秘密進行人體實驗，研發(fā)細菌武器的丑陋罪行。中方對此有何評論?

Q: We have noted that the Japanese TV station NHK broadcast a documentary on Unit 731, which revealed its hideous crimes of secretly conducting living-body experiments and developing bacteriological weapons in the Northeast of China. What's your comment on this?

答：第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，侵華日軍對中國人民發(fā)動了令人發(fā)指的細菌戰(zhàn)。有關史實鐵證如山，不容否認。我們贊賞日本國內有識之士揭露和直面歷史真相的勇氣，希望日方認真傾聽國內外的正義呼聲，正確認識和深刻反省日本軍國主義侵略歷史，切實尊重中國和其他亞洲受害國人民的感情。

A: During World War II, the invading Japanese troops waged a heinous germ warfare against the Chinese people. The relevant evidence is ironclad and undeniable. We appreciate the courage of those insightful Japanese people to reveal the historical truth and hope the Japanese side can carefully listen to the call for justice at home and abroad, correctly understand and deeply reflect upon the history of aggression by the Japanese militarism, and earnestly respect the feelings of the Chinese people and people of other victimized Asian countries.
