Regular Press Conference on January 24, 2018

1　　問：日前，聯(lián)合國發(fā)表了一份關(guān)于聯(lián)合國維和人員安全的報告，指出2017年有56名聯(lián)合國維和人員遇襲身亡，創(chuàng)下1994年以來最高紀錄。報告還就改善維和人員安全環(huán)境提出建議。中方對此有何評論?據(jù)了解，中國—聯(lián)合國和平與發(fā)展基金資助了這份報告的研究，請問中方能否確認?

Q: The United Nations recently released a report about the security of UN peacekeepers, saying that there had been 56 fatalities of the peacekeepers in 2017, registering the highest number since 1994. This report also put forward proposals to improve the security environment of UN peacekeepers. What is China's comment? As we know, the report is funded by China-UN Peace and Development Fund. Can you confirm that?

答：中國始終以實際行動支持聯(lián)合國維和行動。中方累計派出維和人員近4萬人次，先后有13名官兵和4名警察在執(zhí)行維和任務(wù)時獻出了寶貴生命。

A: China has always supported UN peacekeeping missions with concrete actions. It has dispatched nearly 40,000 Chinese peacekeeping personnel, among whom 13 Chinese military personnel and 4 policemen have laid down their lives for the mission.

中方高度重視維和人員安全問題，支持聯(lián)合國采取切實措施加強維和人員安全保障，包括改進全系統(tǒng)指揮體系，提升應(yīng)急指揮能力，同出兵國、當事國等協(xié)調(diào)，加強對當?shù)匕踩蝿莸母櫻信?、預(yù)警和信息共享，并提高在危險環(huán)境下的傷員救護能力。

China highly values the security of peacekeepers and supports the UN in taking concrete measures to better safeguard the security of peacekeepers, including improving the command system of the entire institution, enhancing emergency command capability, coordinating with the troop contributing countries and host country to enhance the assessment, study, warning and information sharing of local security situation and improve the capability to treat the injured under dangerous circumstances.

近期，聯(lián)合國秘書長任命維和行動前指揮官對維和人員安全問題進行研究，并提交題為《改善聯(lián)合國維和人員安全：改變行事方法勢在必行》的報告。中方正在認真研究有關(guān)報告，將積極參與相關(guān)討論。正如你所說，該報告是在中國—聯(lián)合國和平與發(fā)展基金資助下完成的。中國—聯(lián)合國和平與發(fā)展基金是習近平主席2015年出席聯(lián)合國成立70周年系列峰會時宣布的重大務(wù)實舉措，目的是支持聯(lián)合國工作，促進多邊事業(yè)，為世界和平與發(fā)展作出新的貢獻?；鹌褚言谖有{(diào)解、維和及反恐能力建設(shè)、2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程、難移民等領(lǐng)域開展了30個具體項目。

Recently, the former commander of UN peacekeeping operations was appointed by the UN Secretary-General of to review the issue of peacekeepers' security and submit a report entitled "Improving Security of United Nations Peacekeepers: We need to change the way we are doing business". China is seriously looking at the report and will actively participate in relevant discussions. This report is funded by China-UN Peace and Development Fund, which is a major practical measure announced by President Xi Jinping at the summits marking the 70th anniversary of the UN with a view to supporting the UN's work, promoting the cause of multilateralism and making new contributions to world peace and development. By far, the Fund has supported 30 specific projects in such areas as mediation, peacekeeping and counter-terrorism capacity building, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and refugees and immigrants.

2　　問：據(jù)報道，23日，達沃斯世界經(jīng)濟論壇2018年年會開幕。印度總理莫迪在開幕式上發(fā)表主旨演講稱，反全球化的保護主義勢力正在抬頭，孤立主義不是解決方案。報道稱，莫迪反對保護主義的觀點與習近平主席去年在達沃斯的演講形成呼應(yīng)。部分與會代表認為，莫迪演講間接批評了美國優(yōu)先政策。中方對莫迪總理的講話有何評論?

Q: According to reports, The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2018 opened on January 23. In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the forces of protectionism are raising their head against globalization. Reports say that this echoes with what President Xi Jinping said at Davos last year, and it is a veiled criticism of the "America First" policy. What's your comment on Mr. Modi's address?

答：世界經(jīng)濟論壇2018年年會已于23日開幕，中共中央政治局委員、中央財經(jīng)領(lǐng)導小組辦公室主任劉鶴率團與會，并將在中國主題特別會議上致辭。

A: The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2018 already opened on January 23. Liu He, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and General Office Director of the Central Leading Group for Financial and Economic Affairs has headed a delegation to attend the meeting and addressed the special session themed on China.

相信大家都還記憶猶新，一年前，習近平主席在世界經(jīng)濟論壇年會開幕式上發(fā)表了“共擔時代責任 共促全球發(fā)展”的主旨演講，就推動經(jīng)濟全球化朝著更加開放、包容、普惠、平衡、共贏的方向發(fā)展發(fā)出了中國聲音，倡導發(fā)展開放型世界經(jīng)濟，產(chǎn)生了廣泛而深遠的國際影響。

I believe you still remember the keynote speech entitled "Jointly Shoulder Responsibility of Our Times, Promote Global Growth" delivered by President Xi Jinping at the opening session of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting a year ago, voicing China's proposal to make economic globalization more open, inclusive, balanced and win-win and advocating an open world economy. It has had a broad and far-reaching international influence.

我們注意到莫迪總理在今年達沃斯世界經(jīng)濟論壇年會開幕式上發(fā)表了反對保護主義的看法，這反映出經(jīng)濟全球化是符合各國、尤其是廣大發(fā)展中國家利益的時代潮流。中方愿與各方一道，積極適應(yīng)和引導好經(jīng)濟全球化，讓它繼續(xù)成為推動世界經(jīng)濟增長、增進各國人民福祉的積極力量。

We have noticed that Prime Minister Modi stated his opposition to protectionism at the opening session of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting this year, which demonstrates that economic globalization is the trend of the times and serves the interests of all countries, especially the developing countries. China is ready to work with all parties to actively adapt to and steer economic globalization so that it will continue to be a positive force in promoting world economic growth and enhancing the well-being of all peoples.

3　　問：據(jù)報道，中拉論壇第二屆部長級會議的成果表明，中國對拉美外交政策正不斷發(fā)展且更具進取性，此舉將挑戰(zhàn)美國在拉美地區(qū)主導地位。中方對此有何評論?

Q: Reports say that the outcomes of the Second Ministerial Meeting of the Forum of China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) show that China's foreign policy towards Latin America has continuously been evolving and become more aggressive, posing a challenge to the US predominance in the region. What's your comment on this?

答：關(guān)于所謂中拉合作可能挑戰(zhàn)美國在拉美地區(qū)主導地位的問題，這不是一個新鮮話題，似乎存在的時間比中拉論壇成立的時間還要長。

A: The allegation that China-CELAC cooperation will challenge the US' leading position in Latin American region is anything but new, which seems to have existed well before the establishment of the China-CELAC Forum.

我想重申，中方一貫本著和平共處五項原則發(fā)展同各國的關(guān)系。我們對拉美的政策不針對任何第三方，也無意挑戰(zhàn)或取代誰的什么主導地位。我們真誠地認為，中國和拉美國家同為發(fā)展中國家，面臨著共同的發(fā)展階段和發(fā)展任務(wù)，雙方的合作基于共同利益和相互需求，秉持的是平等互利、開放包容、合作共贏的理念。中拉關(guān)系發(fā)展不針對、不排斥、也不影響彼此發(fā)展同其他國家的關(guān)系。我們希望同拉美國家繼續(xù)深化合作，共謀發(fā)展，特別是在“一帶一路”的框架下實現(xiàn)雙方合作的優(yōu)化升級、創(chuàng)新發(fā)展和互利共贏。

I would like to reiterate that China always develops its relations with other countries in the spirit of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence. Our policy towards Latin America does not target any third party, nor does it aim to challenge or replace anyone's predominance. We sincerely believe that as developing countries, both China and Latin American countries are faced with similar development stage and tasks. The cooperation between the two sides, based on common interests and mutual needs, upholds the principle of equality and mutual benefit, openness and inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation. The development of China-Latin America relations does not target, exclude or affect their relations with other countries. We hope to continue deepening cooperation for common development with Latin American countries. In particular, we hope to achieve the optimization and upgrading, innovation and development, and mutual benefit and win-win results of our cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

4　　問：日本首相安倍晉三今天宣布他將出席平昌冬奧會開幕式。請問中方哪位領(lǐng)導人將出席平昌冬奧會開幕式?四年前的冬奧會，習近平主席親自出席了開幕式。

Q: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced today that he will be attending the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Could you please tell us which Chinese leader will attend that event? President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics four years ago.

答：即將舉行的平昌冬奧會是體育界的盛事，中國政府積極支持韓方辦好平昌冬奧會。關(guān)于中方哪位領(lǐng)導人將出席平昌冬奧會開幕式，我們會適時發(fā)布消息。

A: The upcoming Pyeongchang Winter Olympics will be a grand occasion of the sports circles. The Chinese government actively supports the Republic of Korea in holding the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and we will let you know who will be attending the event in due course.

5　　問：據(jù)報道，美國政府把國防戰(zhàn)略重點從反恐轉(zhuǎn)向?qū)怪袊投砹_斯，但美國還有人說，看不到中俄之間有什么長遠共同利益。中方對此有何評論?

Q: It is reported that the US government has shifted the focus of its national defense strategy from fighting terrorism to confronting China and Russia. But some in the US said that they don't see any long-term common interests between China and Russia. What is China's comment?

答：中俄山水相連，互為最大鄰國，同為主要新興市場國家和安理會常任理事國，在發(fā)展世代睦鄰友好、實現(xiàn)各自發(fā)展振興、維護地區(qū)及世界和平穩(wěn)定方面擁有廣泛共同利益。近年來，雙方著眼世界和平發(fā)展大勢，建立和發(fā)展不結(jié)盟、不對抗、不針對第三方的新型國家關(guān)系，樹立了大國、鄰國間和平共處、合作共贏的典范。大家都看到，近年來，在兩國元首的戰(zhàn)略引領(lǐng)下，中俄全面戰(zhàn)略協(xié)作伙伴關(guān)系一直在高水平向前發(fā)展，取得了一系列新成果。兩國戰(zhàn)略互信不斷深化，務(wù)實合作不斷拓展，在國際事務(wù)中保持密切協(xié)作，為促進世界及地區(qū)和平安全與穩(wěn)定發(fā)展作出重要貢獻。

A: China and Russia, linked by mountains and rivers and mutually the largest neighbor to each other, are major emerging market countries and permanent members of the Security Council. We share broad common interests in developing good-neighborly and friendly relations for generations, achieving our respective development and rejuvenation and safeguarding regional and global peace and stability. In recent years, bearing the general trend of world peace and development in mind, the two sides have established and developed a new-type of state-to-state relations featuring non-alignment, non-confrontation and non-targeting of any third party, which becomes a model for peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation between major countries and neighbors. As we can see, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state in recent years, the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination between China and Russia has been developing at a high level and achieved a series of new outcomes. The two countries have continuously deepened strategic mutual trust, expanded pragmatic cooperation and maintained close cooperation in international affairs, making important contributions to promoting the peace, stability and steady development of the region and world at large.

事實證明，發(fā)展中俄全面戰(zhàn)略協(xié)作伙伴關(guān)系不僅符合兩國和兩國人民的根本利益，而且對于維護和促進世界和平與發(fā)展是一股積極戰(zhàn)略力量，具有長久的生命力。我們愿與俄方繼續(xù)共同努力，確保中俄關(guān)系始終保持高水平健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展，為促進世界的和平安全與發(fā)展繁榮貢獻更多積極正能量。

Facts have proved that the development of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination is not only in the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples, but also an active strategic force for maintaining and promoting world peace and development with enduring vitality. We stand ready to make joint efforts with Russia to ensure that China-Russia relations always maintain healthy and steady development at a high level and contribute more positive energy to promoting world peace, security, and prosperity.

6　　問：我們注意到，近日隨著美國國內(nèi)貿(mào)易保護主義聲音上升，不少國家和人士擔心會發(fā)生貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)。你對此怎么看?

Q: We have noted that with protectionist voices on the rise in the US, many countries and people express their concern over a potential trade war. What's your opinion?

答：貿(mào)易保護主義是一把“雙刃劍”，在刺傷別人的同時也會傷及自身。我不知道這世上有沒有傳說中刀槍不入的“金絲軟猬甲”，能保證一國隨意對其他國家揮舞貿(mào)易保護主義大棒而自身卻毫發(fā)無損?

A: Trade protectionism is a double-edged sword that can get oneself wounded while hurting others. I wonder whether the legendary impenetrable "super armor" really exists, one that can guarantee the invulnerability of a certain country when it wantonly wields the big stick of trade protectionism at others?

就中國而言，我想請大家關(guān)注王毅部長昨天在圣地亞哥出席中拉經(jīng)貿(mào)合作論壇暨中拉企業(yè)家理事會2018年年會開幕式時的致辭。王毅部長從中國的發(fā)展理念發(fā)生重要變革、中國的經(jīng)濟體制發(fā)生重大轉(zhuǎn)變、中國的對外開放全面深化三個維度介紹了中國特色社會主義邁入新時代后呈現(xiàn)的新面貌、新氣象。

As far as China is concerned, I would like to draw your attention to the address delivered by Foreign Minister Wang Yi yesterday at the opening ceremony of the China-LAC Economic Cooperation Forum and the China-LAC Entrepreneurs Council's 2018 Annual Meeting in Santiago. In that address, he talked about the new look China has taken on after the socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era, elaborating on important evolution of China's development concepts, major transformations in China's economic system and all-round deepening of China's opening-up.

王毅部長特別指出，中國的經(jīng)濟結(jié)構(gòu)正在不斷優(yōu)化升級。2017年，國內(nèi)消費對于中國經(jīng)濟的貢獻已經(jīng)超過65%。中國國內(nèi)的消費總規(guī)模將在2018年首次超過美國。這意味著，2018年之后，全球最大的市場將是中國。中國的潛在市場規(guī)模是美國的3到4倍，而且正在不斷從潛在變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實，這是一個可以預(yù)見的未來前景。因為市場的力量就在這里，市場不是靠強力搶來的，而是靠流汗開拓出來的。

Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out in particular that China's economic structure has been constantly optimized and upgraded. In 2017, the contribution of domestic consumption to the Chinese economy has exceeded 65%. The total domestic consumption in China is expected to overtake the US for the first time in 2018. This means that after 2018, the world's largest market will be China. China's potential market size is three to four times that of the US, and the potential is now being turned into reality with a foreseeable future. That is the power of market. The market cannot be robbed by force; it can only be won through sweat and toil.

中方會一如既往從積極的角度來處理由于市場規(guī)律帶來的新情況，用做大蛋糕的辦法推進我們同世界各國經(jīng)貿(mào)關(guān)系的大發(fā)展，努力實現(xiàn)合作共贏。

China will, as always, handle the new situation that rises as a result of the laws of the market from a positive perspective and promote greater development of economic and trade relations with other countries to achieve win-win cooperation by making the pie bigger.

7　　問：昨天，俄羅斯常駐聯(lián)合國代表在緊急會議上提出應(yīng)建立一個新的調(diào)查敘利亞化武問題的機構(gòu)，美方抨擊俄此舉意在轉(zhuǎn)移敘化武問題焦點，中方對此有何評論?

Q: Yesterday, the Russian Ambassador to the UN proposed to set up a new international investigative body on the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The US side criticized this move by Russia as a distraction from the issue of the use of chemical weapons in Syria. What is your comment?

答：中方在化武問題上的立場是一貫、明確的。我們反對任何國家、組織或個人，在任何情況下，出于任何目的使用化武行為，主張對化武襲擊事件進行全面、公正、客觀調(diào)查，要基于確鑿、可信的證據(jù)，得出經(jīng)得起檢驗的結(jié)論。

A: China's position on the use of chemical weapons is consistent and clear. We oppose the use of chemical weapons by any state, organization or individual, for any purpose, or under any circumstances. China supports a thorough, impartial and objective investigation on chemical weapons attacks, and the investigation should be based on solid and reliable evidence and conclusions must be able to stand the test of time.

安理會保持團結(jié)是推動敘問題政治解決的重要保障。我們希望安理會各方加強協(xié)商，共同推動安理會在包括敘利亞化武問題、人道、政治進程等具體問題上發(fā)出清晰、一致信號，為全面解決敘利亞問題提供有力的政治支持。

A united Security Council is an important guarantee for achieving the political settlement of the Syrian issue. We hope that all parties of the Security Council could enhance coordination, send a clear and concordant signal on specific issues concerning Syria, including the use of chemical weapons, the humanitarian needs and the political process, and lend strong political support to the comprehensive settlement of the Syrian issue.

8　　問：你剛才對莫迪總統(tǒng)在達沃斯世界經(jīng)濟論壇上的講話給予了積極評價，中印雙方未來是否會在反對保護主義方面展開協(xié)作，并借此推進雙邊關(guān)系發(fā)展?

Q: Considering your positive comments on Prime Minister Modi's speech at Davos, can there be any kind of coordination between the two sides to oppose protectionism in general? Can it be used to enhance bilateral relations between the two countries?

答：我剛才說了，我們注意到莫迪總理在達沃斯世界經(jīng)濟論壇年會開幕式上發(fā)表有關(guān)反對貿(mào)易保護主義的看法，事實上這的確反映出經(jīng)濟全球化是符合各國、特別是廣大發(fā)展中國家利益的時代潮流。在反對貿(mào)易保護主義、推進經(jīng)濟全球化方面，中印是有著共識和共同利益的。我們當然愿意同包括印度在內(nèi)的世界各國加強溝通協(xié)調(diào)，積極適應(yīng)和引導好經(jīng)濟全球化，讓它成為推動經(jīng)濟增長、造福各國的積極力量。

A: As I said, we noted that Prime Minister Modi has spoken out against protectionism at the opening session of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. It actually reflects the fact that economic globalization is the trend of the times which serves the interests of all countries, especially the developing countries. On the fronts of opposing trade protectionism and advancing economic globalization, China and India share common grounds and common interests. It goes without saying that we would like to enhance communication and coordination with India and other countries in actively adapting to and steering economic globalization so that it becomes a positive force for the economic growth and the welfare of all countries.

關(guān)于中印關(guān)系，中方的立場也非常明確。印度是中國的重要鄰國，中印作為兩個最大的發(fā)展中國家和鄰居，我們當然希望兩國關(guān)系能夠保持健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展，這符合兩國共同利益。我們希望同印方共同努力，不斷增進溝通、了解和互信，妥善處理分歧，確保兩國關(guān)系健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展。我相信這是中印兩國人民都期待看到的。

Regarding China-India relations, our position is very clear. India is an important neighbor of China. We are the two largest developing countries and each other's neighbor. We indeed hope to maintain a sound and steady development of bilateral ties, as it serves the common interests of the two sides. We hope to work with the Indian side to enhance communication, mutual understanding and trust and properly handle differences so as to ensure the sound and steady development of bilateral relations. I believe that is also what the people in the two countries expect from us.
