喜歡口譯的同學(xué)，大多抱有一個(gè)外交官的理想，而雙語(yǔ)例行記者會(huì)上快節(jié)奏的你問我答及現(xiàn)場(chǎng)翻譯，則給我們提供了寶貴的學(xué)習(xí)資源。下面是小編整理的關(guān)于【雙語(yǔ)】例行記者會(huì) 2018年12月24日 華春瑩的資料，希望大家在這些唇槍舌劍中，提升英語(yǔ)，更熱愛祖國(guó)！

2018年12月24日外交部發(fā)言人華春瑩主持例行記者會(huì)

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying’s Regular Press Conference on December 24, 2018

問：據(jù)報(bào)道，印尼西部巽他海峽22日晚海嘯已造成至少281人死亡、1016人受傷。中方是否將向印尼方面表示慰問或提供援助？

Q: Reports say that the tsunami that occurred on the evening of December 22 at the Sunda Strait in the west of Indonesia, has killed at least 281 people and injured 1,016 others. Has China sent messages of condolences or provided assistance to the Indonesian side?

答：印尼是中國(guó)的友好鄰邦，印尼巽他海峽發(fā)生海嘯，造成重大人員傷亡和財(cái)產(chǎn)損失，中方高度關(guān)注。習(xí)近平主席向佐科總統(tǒng)致電慰問，向遇難者家屬表示深切的哀悼，向受傷者和災(zāi)區(qū)人民致以誠(chéng)摯的慰問，相信在印尼政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，印尼災(zāi)區(qū)人民能夠戰(zhàn)勝困難，早日重建家園。

A: Indonesia is a friendly neighbor of China. China has been closely following the tsunami at the Sunda Strait which has caused heavy casualties and losses of properties. President Xi Jinping has sent messages of condolences to President Joko Widodo to convey deep condolences to the bereaved families and express sincere sympathy to the injured and people in the disaster-stricken areas. We are convinced that under the leadership of the Indonesian government, the people in the disaster-affected areas will rise above the difficulties and rebuild their homeland at an early date.

中方將通過紅十字會(huì)等渠道，為印尼救災(zāi)提供力所能及的幫助。

The Chinese side will provide assistance to Indonesia’s disaster relief efforts as its capacity allows through the Red Cross and other channels.

 

問：加拿大外長(zhǎng)周末稱，加方將推動(dòng)其盟友對(duì)中方任意拘押2名加公民表達(dá)關(guān)切，并已向中方提出了被關(guān)押加公民的待遇問題。上周，英國(guó)、歐盟就2名加公民被拘押事表達(dá)了關(guān)切。請(qǐng)問中方對(duì)此有何回應(yīng)？

Q: Canada’s Foreign Minister said over the weekend that Canada will press its allies to keep talking out about the case of the two Canadians detained by China. The Canadian Foreign Minister also said that she had discussed the conditions under which the Canadians have been detained with the Chinese side. Also last week, both Britain and the EU expressed concerns about the detention of the Canadians. What is your reaction?

 

答：中方對(duì)加拿大以及美國(guó)等個(gè)別國(guó)家發(fā)表的相關(guān)言論表示強(qiáng)烈不滿和堅(jiān)決反對(duì)。加拿大公民康明凱、邁克爾涉嫌從事危害中國(guó)國(guó)家安全活動(dòng)，中方有關(guān)部門理所當(dāng)然依法對(duì)其采取強(qiáng)制措施。中方相關(guān)部門依法保障了他們的正當(dāng)權(quán)益，并為加方正常履行領(lǐng)事職務(wù)提供了必要協(xié)助。我們敦促有關(guān)國(guó)家切實(shí)尊重中國(guó)司法主權(quán)。

A: The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to the relevant remarks made by these individual countries including Canada and the US. China’s competent authorities took compulsory measures in accordance with the law against the Canadian citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor because they engaged in activities undermining China’s national security. The relevant departments in China have ensured their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law and offered necessary assistance to the Canadian side to fulfill their consular duties. We urge the relevant countries to earnestly respect China’s judicial sovereignty.

 

關(guān)于英國(guó)、歐盟就加公民被拘押表達(dá)關(guān)切，我覺得很奇怪，這件事和英國(guó)、歐盟有什么關(guān)系？當(dāng)初加方應(yīng)美方要求非法拘押中國(guó)企業(yè)高管時(shí)，他們又在哪里呢？他們聲稱的所謂人權(quán)其實(shí)是對(duì)不同國(guó)家的公民有著不同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

As for the UK and the EU expressing concern over the detention of the Canadian citizens, I wonder how they are involved in this case? Where were their voices when the senior manager of the Chinese company was illegally detained by the Canadian side at the behest of the US side? It is quite obvious that the human rights they are talking about have different standards when it comes to citizens of different countries.

 

我還想問問加方，加方當(dāng)初應(yīng)美方要求非法拘押連加方都承認(rèn)沒有違反任何加拿大法律的中國(guó)企業(yè)高管，這種行為才是名副其實(shí)的任意拘押，于法不顧，于理不合，于情不容。加方口口聲聲稱對(duì)美方履行雙邊引渡條約的所謂法律義務(wù)，難道加方就可以無(wú)視和踐踏國(guó)際法基本準(zhǔn)則和國(guó)際關(guān)系基本準(zhǔn)則嗎？就可以不履行保護(hù)中國(guó)公民合法權(quán)益的責(zé)任和義務(wù)嗎？

I also want to ask the Canadian side something. At the behest of the US side, it illegally detained the senior manager of the Chinese company who has violated no Canadian laws as the Canadian side itself has acknowledged. This action, which is far from legal, legitimate and reasonable, is what truly merits the name of arbitrary detention. The Canadian side cannot stop talking about its so-called legal obligations under its bilateral extradition treaty with the US. Does that mean that it can turn a blind eye to and trample on the basic norms of international law and international relations? Does that mean that it is okay for Canada to ignore its obligations in terms of protecting the legal rights and interests of Chinese nationals?

 

我們看到，美加有關(guān)行為已在加拿大、美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)和國(guó)際上遭到許多正義人士的批評(píng)和反對(duì)。大家都對(duì)此案的嚴(yán)重性質(zhì)和惡劣影響一清二楚。我們?cè)俅味卮偌臃郊m正錯(cuò)誤，立即釋放孟晚舟女士，切實(shí)保障她的合法、正當(dāng)權(quán)益。我們也強(qiáng)烈敦促美方立即撤銷對(duì)孟晚舟女士的逮捕令。

We have all noticed that such moves by the Canadian and US sides have invoked severe criticism and strong opposition from people with a sense of justice in Canada, the US and other countries. The ugly nature and impacts of the Meng Wanzhou case cannot be clearer. Once again, we strongly urge the Canadian side to correct its mistakes, immediately release Ms. Meng Wanzhou, and ensure her legal and legitimate rights and interests. We also strongly urge the US side to immediately withdraw its arrest order for Ms. Meng Wanzhou.

 

問：肯尼亞《民族日?qǐng)?bào)》日前報(bào)道稱，肯尼亞總審計(jì)長(zhǎng)辦公室上月致函肯尼亞港務(wù)局，對(duì)該局與中國(guó)進(jìn)出口銀行達(dá)成的蒙內(nèi)鐵路借貸協(xié)議以蒙巴薩港作抵押表示質(zhì)疑，認(rèn)為肯方如不能償還債務(wù)或?qū)⑹?duì)蒙巴薩港口的控制權(quán)。對(duì)此，肯尼亞總審計(jì)長(zhǎng)辦公室19日予以澄清并表示個(gè)別媒體報(bào)道失之偏頗?？夏醽喐蹌?wù)局總經(jīng)理曼度庫(kù)也對(duì)媒體表示，不存在失去港口的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，事實(shí)上肯方還具備提前還貸的能力。中方對(duì)此有何評(píng)論？

Q: The Daily Nation of Kenya recently reported that in a letter to the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), the Office of the Auditor General of Kenya raised questions over its Mombasa-Nairobi Railway loan payment agreement with the Export-Import Bank of China which uses the Mombasa Port as a collateral, revealing that Kenya could lose the port if it defaults in the payment. In response to this, the Office of the Auditor General clarified the situation and dismissed the report on December 19. KPA Managing Director Daniel Manduku told the media that there is no risk of losing the port. In fact, they will pay this loan ahead of time. What is your comment?

 

答：關(guān)于你說的這件事情，經(jīng)中方向有關(guān)金融機(jī)構(gòu)了解，所謂肯方以蒙巴薩港作為抵押同中方金融機(jī)構(gòu)達(dá)成蒙內(nèi)鐵路借款協(xié)議的說法并不屬實(shí)。正如你剛才援引的有關(guān)報(bào)道，肯尼亞有關(guān)方面已經(jīng)就此作出明確澄清。

A: Regarding the issue you mentioned, we have checked with the relevant Chinese financial institution and found that the allegation that the Kenyan side used the Mombasa Port as a collateral in its Mombasa-Nairobi Railway payment agreement with the Chinese financial institution is not true. The report you just cited said that the Kenyan side also has made clarifications on it.

 

目前中肯雙方圍繞蒙內(nèi)鐵路等項(xiàng)目合作進(jìn)展順利。中方企業(yè)和金融機(jī)構(gòu)在同包括肯尼亞等在內(nèi)的非洲國(guó)家開展合作時(shí)，一貫堅(jiān)持共同深入做好項(xiàng)目可行性科學(xué)論證，并在此基礎(chǔ)上確定建設(shè)和融資方案以及規(guī)模，嚴(yán)防給非方造成債務(wù)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)或者財(cái)政負(fù)擔(dān)。

At present, the China-Kenya cooperation on the Mombasa-Nairobi railway is progressing smoothly. When cooperating with African countries including Kenya, Chinese companies and financial institutions will always conduct joint and thorough scientific study on the feasibility of the projects and then proceed to determine the construction and funding plans and scales to guard against causing debt risks and fiscal burdens for Africa.

 

問：繼緬北果敢、德昂、若開三支民地武發(fā)布和平聲明之后，12月21日緬國(guó)防軍總司令部發(fā)表和平聲明，宣布將于即日起至2019年4月30日在緬北地區(qū)停止一切軍事行動(dòng)，并同民地武商談?；鹗乱恕＞捀鹘鐚?duì)此反響熱烈。請(qǐng)問中方對(duì)此有何評(píng)論？

Q: In response to a joint peace statement by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and Arakan Army (AA), the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Services of Myanmar made a peace announcement on December 21 on an immediate suspension of all its military actions in Northern Myanmar until April 30, 2019, and it will negotiate for ceasefire with ethnic armed groups. This development has been warmly welcomed by all sectors in Myanmar. What is your comment?

 

答：日前，緬北有關(guān)民地武和緬甸軍方先后發(fā)表和平聲明，宣布停止軍事行動(dòng)，致力于通過對(duì)話和談判解決問題，這是緬甸和平進(jìn)程取得的重要積極進(jìn)展，中方對(duì)此表示歡迎和支持。

A: The relevant ethnic armed groups in northern Myanmar and the Myanmar military released peace statements successively on halting military actions and reaffirming their commitment to resolving issues through dialogue and negotiation. This marks an important positive step in the peace process in Myanmar. China welcomes and supports that.

 

和平是緬各族人民的共同心聲。早日實(shí)現(xiàn)緬甸國(guó)內(nèi)和平和解符合緬甸國(guó)家根本利益。對(duì)話協(xié)商是解決問題的唯一正確途徑。作為緬甸的友好鄰邦，中方衷心希望緬甸各方順應(yīng)和平大勢(shì)，抓住當(dāng)前重要機(jī)遇，進(jìn)一步相向而行，積極地接觸和對(duì)話，早日實(shí)現(xiàn)國(guó)家和解、和平與發(fā)展。

Peace is what all ethnic groups in Myanmar aspire for. An early realization of peace and reconciliation in Myanmar serves Myanmar’s fundamental interests. Dialogue and consultation represent the only right way out of the current issue. China, as a friendly neighbor, sincerely hopes that all parties in Myanmar could seize the trend for peace, act on the current important opportunities, meet each other halfway, and actively engage in contacts and dialogues so that Myanmar could realize national reconciliation, peace and development at an early date.

 

中國(guó)應(yīng)緬甸各方要求，一直為推動(dòng)緬各方對(duì)話與和解發(fā)揮積極和建設(shè)性作用。我們?cè)咐^續(xù)同緬方一道，共同維護(hù)中緬邊境地區(qū)和平穩(wěn)定，堅(jiān)定支持推進(jìn)緬甸和平進(jìn)程。

China has been playing a positive and constructive role in promoting dialogue and reconciliation among all Myanmar parties at their request. We will continue to work with Myanmar to jointly ensure peace and stability of the China-Myanmar border areas and act as a staunch supporter for Myanmar’s peace process.

 

問：我們注意到韓美涉朝工作組會(huì)議21日舉行。韓外交部和平交涉本部長(zhǎng)李度勛稱，韓美認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在到明年初是構(gòu)建半島永久和平機(jī)制的關(guān)鍵時(shí)期，同意共促美朝對(duì)話早日重啟。雙方并商定對(duì)韓朝跨境鐵路和公路等項(xiàng)目提供制裁豁免。美國(guó)朝鮮政策特別代表比根稱，美無(wú)意放松對(duì)朝制裁，但將繼續(xù)考慮積累美朝互信。中方對(duì)此有何評(píng)論？

Q: We noted that the ROK and the US held the DPRK-related working group meeting on December 21. Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security Affairs of the ROK Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lee Do Hoon said that the ROK and the US believed that the period from now to the beginning of next year is the critical stage to establish a permanent peace regime on the Korean Peninsula and that they agreed to jointly promote the resumption of US-DPRK dialogue. The two sides agreed to waiver sanctions on such cross-border projects as railways and highways between the ROK and the DPRK. Stephen Biegun, the US Special Representative for the DPRK issue said that the US would not ease sanctions on the DPRK but it would still consider accumulating the mutual trust between the US and the DPRK. What is your comment?

 

答：我們注意到有關(guān)報(bào)道。

A: We have noted relevant reports.

 

今年以來(lái)，半島局勢(shì)出現(xiàn)了重大轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)，這些進(jìn)展來(lái)之不易，也符合各方和國(guó)際社會(huì)期待，值得各方倍加珍惜。我們看到，當(dāng)前半島形勢(shì)與和談進(jìn)程處在關(guān)鍵階段，美朝正在協(xié)商落實(shí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會(huì)晤共識(shí)，朝韓雙方也在持續(xù)地推進(jìn)和解以及合作。

Since this year, there has been a big turnaround regarding the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Those hard-won progresses meet the shared aspirations of all relevant parties as well as the international community and should be cherished by all relevant parties. We have seen that the situation on the Korean Peninsula and the peace talks are at a crucial stage. The US and the DPRK are discussing the implementation of the consensus reached during their leaders’ meeting. The DPRK and the ROK are also continuously promoting reconciliation and cooperation.

 

我們希望有關(guān)各方能夠把握機(jī)遇，相向而行，互釋善意，協(xié)調(diào)推進(jìn)半島無(wú)核化和建立半島和平機(jī)制進(jìn)程，照顧彼此合理關(guān)切，不斷增進(jìn)政治互信，推動(dòng)半島問題政治解決進(jìn)程持續(xù)向前邁進(jìn)。

We hope that the relevant parties can seize the opportunity, meet each other halfway, demonstrate goodwill to each other, advance the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the establishment of a permanent peace regime on the Peninsula in a coordinated way, address each other’s legitimate concerns, continuously enhance political mutual trust and move forward the political settlement process of the Korean Peninsula issue.

 

問：據(jù)了解，美國(guó)推動(dòng)給聯(lián)合國(guó)維和攤款比額設(shè)定25%的上限，但未能成功。中方對(duì)此有何評(píng)價(jià)？

Q: The US has failed at its push to cap its share of UN peacekeeping funding at 25%. What is your comment?

 

答：12月23日，聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)第五委員會(huì)就聯(lián)合國(guó)會(huì)員國(guó)2019-2021年度會(huì)費(fèi)和維和攤款比額達(dá)成一致并通過決議。決議維持了現(xiàn)行比額計(jì)算方法，發(fā)出的核心信息是，堅(jiān)持支付能力原則，堅(jiān)持多邊主義。這也是中方的一貫立場(chǎng)。我們對(duì)聯(lián)大通過上述決議表示歡迎和支持。我們希望各方認(rèn)真執(zhí)行好這個(gè)聯(lián)大的決議，確保聯(lián)合國(guó)有穩(wěn)定、可預(yù)測(cè)的財(cái)政基礎(chǔ)。

A: On December 23, the Fifth Committee of the UN General Assembly reached consensus and adopted a resolution on the annual contribution and peacekeeping funding shares of UN members for the period 2019-2021. The resolution maintained the current share calculating methods and sent out the core message that the principle of capacity to pay and multilateralism must be upheld, which is also China’s consistent position. We welcome and support the adoption of this resolution by the General Assembly. We hope that all parties could earnestly implement this resolution to ensure a stable and predictable fiscal foundation for the UN.

 

問：“維基解密”網(wǎng)站21號(hào)公布的一批文件顯示，美國(guó)駐多國(guó)大使館都曾購(gòu)買間諜設(shè)備。今年8月，美國(guó)駐薩爾瓦多使館發(fā)布一份采購(gòu)需求，其中包含94件間諜設(shè)備，包括能安裝在汽車?yán)锏囊挂晹z像頭，偽裝在鋼筆、打火機(jī)、襯衫紐扣、眼鏡等日常用品中的攝像頭。美國(guó)駐烏克蘭使館則采購(gòu)了錄音機(jī)和隱蔽無(wú)線電設(shè)備等。美國(guó)駐法蘭克?？傤I(lǐng)館可能是美國(guó)在歐洲進(jìn)行黑客行動(dòng)的秘密中心。你對(duì)此有何評(píng)論？

Q: Papers released by WikiLeaks on December 21 showed that US embassies in many countries have been buying spying tools. For instance, in August, the US Embassy in El Salvador requested a list of items including 94 spying devices, such as night vision cameras that can be installed in cars and the cameras masqueraded as everyday objects, including pens, lighters, shirt buttons, and glasses. The US Embassy in Ukraine has stocked up on covert radios and voice recorders, among other items. The release also highlights that the US Consulate-General in Frankfurt is a covert base for US hacking operations across Europe. What is your comment?

 

答：相信許多看到這條消息的人都和我有著同樣的疑問：美國(guó)駐外使館為什么要購(gòu)買這么多間諜設(shè)備？準(zhǔn)備拿它們來(lái)做什么？針對(duì)的都是些什么人？用于什么目的？

A: I believe many people after seeing this piece of news will have the same question as I do: why do they need so many spying tools? What are they going to do with them? For whom and for what purposes are these items meant?

 

就在幾天前，美國(guó)還糾集了幾個(gè)盟友指責(zé)中國(guó)長(zhǎng)期破壞美國(guó)網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全。你剛剛提到的“維基解密”公布的這批文件恰恰證明，美方可能又自編自導(dǎo)自演了一出賊喊捉賊的好戲。

Just a few days ago, the US drew some of its allies together to accuse China of sabotaging US cyber-security over a long period of time. These papers released by WikiLeaks just proved that the US who is so good at a thief crying “stop thief’ is putting on the show again.

 

相信大家對(duì)五年前的“棱鏡門”事件還記憶猶新。根據(jù)披露的消息，美方在全球范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行大范圍監(jiān)聽監(jiān)控活動(dòng)，包括美國(guó)的盟友。五年過去了，美方還欠世界人民一個(gè)交代。這次“維基解密”又曝出新情況，美方也應(yīng)向國(guó)際社會(huì)作出清楚的解釋。我也想提醒一下美國(guó)的那幾個(gè)盟友，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全問題上，不要好了傷疤忘了疼。

I believe the PRISM case is still fresh in our memory though five years have passed. According to the disclosed information at that time, the US carried out massive spying and espionage activities around the globe. Its own allies were also targeted. The US still owes the world an explanation to that. Now with the new information exposed by the WikiLeaks, the US also needs to clarify it. I also want to remind these allies of the US that on the issue of cyber-security, they should not forget what they have been through just because time has passed and the wounds may have healed.

 

問：聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)剛剛通過2019-2021年會(huì)費(fèi)和維和攤款比額決議，中國(guó)將成為聯(lián)合國(guó)第二大會(huì)費(fèi)國(guó)和維和攤款國(guó)。中方對(duì)此有何評(píng)論？

Q: The UN General Assembly just adopted a resolution on members’ financial contributions and peacekeeping shares for the period 2019-2021. China will become the second-largest financial contributor to the UN’s regular budget and peacekeeping operations. What is your comment?

 

答：聯(lián)合國(guó)確定會(huì)費(fèi)的核心原則是各國(guó)支付能力。中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)總量大，但人均國(guó)民收入水平低，屬于發(fā)展中國(guó)家，這是衡量中國(guó)支付能力的重要依據(jù)。

A: The core principle of the UN in determining its budget contributions is the capacity to pay. China’s total economic volume is huge, but its per capita national income is low and it still belongs to the group of developing countries, which serves as the main basis to determine China’s capacity to pay.

 

根據(jù)聯(lián)大剛剛通過的決議，未來(lái)3年中國(guó)承擔(dān)的聯(lián)合國(guó)會(huì)費(fèi)和維和攤款都將大幅增長(zhǎng)，承擔(dān)12%的會(huì)費(fèi)、15.2%的維和攤款。這是中國(guó)作為世界第二大經(jīng)濟(jì)體，近年來(lái)經(jīng)濟(jì)總量和人均國(guó)民總收入增長(zhǎng)的結(jié)果，也是中國(guó)國(guó)際影響力上升的體現(xiàn)。

In accordance with this resolution just adopted by the General Assembly, China’s contributions to the UN’s regular budget and peacekeeping operations will surge substantially in the next three years, shouldering 12% and 15.2% respectively. This is a result of the increase in China’s economic aggregate and per capita national income in recent years as world’s second largest economy and a reflection of China’s growing international influence.

 

中國(guó)堅(jiān)定維護(hù)多邊主義，將履行作為發(fā)展中國(guó)家對(duì)聯(lián)合國(guó)應(yīng)盡的財(cái)政義務(wù)，既為世界和平發(fā)展作出貢獻(xiàn)，也堅(jiān)決維護(hù)自身合法權(quán)利。同時(shí)，我們也敦促各國(guó)都及時(shí)、足額繳納聯(lián)合國(guó)會(huì)費(fèi)和維和攤款，支持聯(lián)合國(guó)為維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展發(fā)揮更大作用。

China is firmly committed to upholding multilateralism and fulfilling its financial obligations to the UN as a developing country. While contributing to world peace and development, we will also resolutely safeguard our legitimate rights. Meanwhile, we urge all countries to pay their shares for regular budget and peacekeeping operations in time and in full to support the UN in playing a bigger role in maintaining world peace and promoting common development.

 

問：請(qǐng)問因被指控在華非法就業(yè)而被拘押的加拿大籍人Sarah Mciver 的遣返日期是否已確定？

Q: Has there been a date set for the deportation of Sarah McIver, who is charged of working illegally in China?

 

答：中方有關(guān)部門將依法處理。

A: The competent Chinese authority will deal with it in accordance with the law.

 

問：近期有些西方媒體炒作涉疆問題。昨天，《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道，過去一年左右，中國(guó)新疆加大了對(duì)穆斯林的大規(guī)模監(jiān)視、拘留和同化行動(dòng)，并將有關(guān)做法復(fù)制到中國(guó)其他穆斯林地區(qū)。你對(duì)此有何評(píng)論？

Q: Recently, some western media have been hyping up Xinjiang-related issues. Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that over the past one year or so, Xinjiang stepped up its program of mass surveillance, detention and assimilation of Muslims and relevant practices are being replicated in other parts of China with Muslim communities. What is your comment?

 

答：首先我想指出，在涉疆問題上，近期有一些西方媒體為了制造聳人聽聞的新聞，扮演了不光彩的角色，發(fā)揮了不好的作用。他們往往基于道聽途說，或者援引一些根本就是虛假或虛構(gòu)的消息源進(jìn)行不負(fù)責(zé)任的報(bào)道。大家都知道，真實(shí)性是新聞報(bào)道的生命線。近期已爆出不少西方媒體這方面的丑聞，希望有關(guān)媒體能夠恪守新聞職業(yè)道德。

A: First of all, I want to point out that with regard to Xinjiang-related issues, recently some western media, in order to fabricate sensational news, has played a disgraceful role and led to negative effects. They reported Xinjiang in a very irresponsible way either based on hearsay or citing false or fictional sources. We all know that respecting truth is the lifeline of media reports. Recently we have seen many scandals involving the western media in this regard. We hope that the relevant media can observe the professional ethnics of the press.

 

我必須指出，一些西方國(guó)家政客和媒體在涉疆問題上犯了一個(gè)根本性錯(cuò)誤。他們偷梁換柱、移花接木，將中國(guó)新疆反恐維穩(wěn)和去極端化的努力定性為專門針對(duì)維吾爾族或穆斯林的行動(dòng)。近期中方已經(jīng)就此進(jìn)行了多次闡述，介紹說明了有關(guān)情況?？紤]到近期一些西方媒體的炒作，我想有必要再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)幾點(diǎn)：

I have to point out that some western politicians and media have made a fundamental mistake on Xinjiang-related issues since they have replaced the concept in a disguised way and defined the efforts China has taken to fight terrorism, uphold stability and eliminate extremism in Xinjiang as the actions specifically targeted at Uygurs or Muslims. Regarding this issue, recently, we have made quite a few clarifications and explanations. Given the recent hyping up by some western media, I think it is necessary for me to stress a few more points.

 

第一，中國(guó)政府的一貫立場(chǎng)是，反對(duì)將恐怖主義同任何特定的民族和宗教掛鉤。

First, opposing linking terrorism with certain nationality or religion is the consistent position of the Chinese government.

第二，維吾爾族是中國(guó)56個(gè)民族大家庭的一員。據(jù)我了解，新中國(guó)建國(guó)初期，維吾爾族人口只有300多萬(wàn)，而現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)增長(zhǎng)到近1200萬(wàn)。絕大多數(shù)維吾爾族群眾與中國(guó)其他55個(gè)民族都和睦相處，安居樂業(yè)。大家也知道，中國(guó)有不少家喻戶曉的明星是維吾爾族，他們活躍在各自的藝術(shù)舞臺(tái)上，使新疆少數(shù)民族的文化和藝術(shù)得到了很好傳承，并且在中國(guó)各大舞臺(tái)以及媒體上大放異彩。

Second, the Uygur ethnic group is a member of the big family of 56 nationalities in China. According to my information, in the early years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the population of Uygur ethnic group was only over 3 million, and now it has increased to around 12 million. The vast majority of the Uygur people live in harmony with people of other 55 nationalities and enjoy a happy and contented life. You all know that quite some well-known stars in China are Uygurs. They are active on the artistic stage to carry forward the cultures and arts of the ethnic minority groups in Xinjiang and make these cultures and arts shine brilliantly on stages across China and through the media outlets.

 

第三，針對(duì)一些受到恐怖主義和極端思想影響的人，新疆自治區(qū)通過采取包括職業(yè)技能教育培訓(xùn)在內(nèi)的標(biāo)本兼治的舉措，幫助他們學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言、學(xué)習(xí)法律、學(xué)習(xí)技能，擺脫恐怖主義和宗教極端思想的控制和影響，回歸正常社會(huì)生活。打個(gè)比方，這就如同中醫(yī)藥方中的“君臣佐使”，各味藥效不同，但相互配合產(chǎn)生最佳效果，達(dá)到正本清源、固本強(qiáng)基和治病救人的目的。事實(shí)證明，這兩年新疆方面采取的反恐維穩(wěn)措施的效果是顯著的、積極的。前幾年，新疆地區(qū)各類暴恐事件頻發(fā)，但現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)連續(xù)24個(gè)月沒有發(fā)生任何暴恐案件，新疆各族人民群眾的安全感都得到了極大提升。

Third, as for the people affected by terrorism and extremism, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has taken a series of measures, including setting up vocational education and training institutions, to address both the symptoms and root causes. Steps have been taken to help those people learn languages, study laws and acquire skills so as to get rid of the control of religious extremism and return to normal life. This can be compared to the principle of “Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi” in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi, four kinds of herbs with different effects, can achieve the optimal result of treating the root cause of the illness, enhancing each other’s effects and curing the disease and saving the patient after being used together as they can coordinate with each other. Facts have proven that the steps taken to fight terrorism and uphold stability in Xinjiang in the past two years have achieved positive and remarkable results. A couple of years ago, Xinjiang witnessed frequent violent terrorist attacks, but now there has not been a single violent terrorist attack in Xinjiang in the past 24 months and the sense of security of people of all ethnic groups there has been greatly enhanced.

 

第四，你提到有美國(guó)媒體報(bào)道說，中國(guó)在新疆加大了監(jiān)控力度，安裝了很多監(jiān)控設(shè)施。安置監(jiān)控設(shè)施是各國(guó)為維護(hù)安全和穩(wěn)定采取的通常做法。我看到有公開的研究報(bào)告稱，早在2010年，也就是8年前，英國(guó)建成的監(jiān)控?cái)z像頭就達(dá)420萬(wàn)個(gè)，占當(dāng)時(shí)全世界監(jiān)控?cái)z像頭總量的25%，幾乎覆蓋全國(guó)所有城市的大街小巷和高速公路，僅倫敦市區(qū)就有約50萬(wàn)個(gè)。美國(guó)紐約警方建設(shè)的城市監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)，針對(duì)行人和車輛的監(jiān)控裝置遍布紐約各個(gè)角落，并對(duì)個(gè)人手機(jī)信息進(jìn)行追蹤盤查。這些攝像頭或者監(jiān)控設(shè)施本身是沒有思想的，是不會(huì)有任何偏見的。不能說英美等國(guó)使用監(jiān)控設(shè)備就是公正的、合理的、必要的，而中國(guó)使用就變成了不公正、歧視性、不合理的。監(jiān)控設(shè)施它本身不會(huì)自動(dòng)去辨認(rèn)針對(duì)某個(gè)特定的族群，它震懾的是壞人，保護(hù)的是好人。同樣的事情，為什么西方國(guó)家做了就是保護(hù)人權(quán)，而中國(guó)做了就是侵犯人權(quán)呢？我想只有一個(gè)解釋，就是赤裸裸的雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

Fourth, you mentioned some US media reported that China has stepped up program of surveillance and installed a lot of surveillance facilities in Xinjiang. Installing surveillance facilities is a common practice in countries around the world to maintain security and stability. According to a research report that I once read, as early as in 2010, that was eight years ago, there were 4.2 million surveillance cameras in Britain, accounting for 25% of the world’s total and covering the streets, alleys and expressways in almost all cities. There were about 500 thousand surveillance cameras in the downtown of London alone. The New York police also built a city surveillance system, where the surveillance devices targeting pedestrians and vehicles can be found in every corner of New York and the information in personal mobile phones is being tracked and examined. These surveillance cameras or devices are unconscious and unbiased. We cannot say that the use of surveillance devices in Britain, the US and other countries is unbiased, justified and necessary while the use of them in China is biased, discriminatory and unjustified. The surveillance devices themselves cannot discriminate and target certain ethnic group. Instead, they are used to deter bad people and protect good people. Why western countries taking these measures is protecting human rights while China doing the same thing is violating human rights? I think there is only one explanation: double standards are applied here.

 

最后，我還想指出，新疆自治區(qū)為維護(hù)安全穩(wěn)定采取的反恐維穩(wěn)和去極端化措施是對(duì)預(yù)防性反恐的一種有益、有效和積極的探索。我們?cè)概c其他同樣面臨恐怖主義和極端思想危害的國(guó)家加強(qiáng)這方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn)交流，不斷完善和改進(jìn)。但我們堅(jiān)決反對(duì)個(gè)別國(guó)家官員和媒體在這一問題上奉行雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，將中方反恐和去極端化的努力和措施政治化、污名化，對(duì)中國(guó)的民族宗教政策進(jìn)行惡毒攻擊。

At last, I also want to point out that the measures taken by Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to fight terrorism, eliminate extremism and safeguard security and stability are useful, effective and positive explorations in terms of taking preventative steps to counter terrorism. We are willing to step up the exchange of experiences with other countries that are beset with terrorism and extremism so as to achieve continuous improvement. But we firmly oppose that certain countries’ officials and media apply double standards on this issue, politicize and stigmatize the efforts and measures
