　　问：据报道，澳大利亚总理证实，澳政府计划帮助巴新在马努斯岛建立一个新的联合海军基地。随着中方扩大在太平洋的影响力，中方是否会帮助巴新发展海军能力？如何评论澳大利亚的“反击”举措？

Q: Australian Prime Minister has confirmed that the Australian government plans to help Papua New Guinea (PNG) build a new joint navy base. As China expands its influence in the Pacific, would China offer help to PNG to develop its navy force? How does China feel about the push-back from Canberra?

A: When pursuing wide-ranging friendly and cooperative ties with the Pacific Island countries, China always follows the approach of upholding justice while pursuing shared interests and the principles of sincerity, real results, affinity and good faith. Our goal is to help the Pacific Island countries realize peace, stability and prosperity. This is mutually beneficial cooperation between developing countries under the South-South Cooperation framework which targets no third party. The Pacific Island countries are no "sphere of influence" for any country.

 　希望有关方面切实摒弃冷战思维和“零和博弈”的陈旧观念，客观、正确看待中国同太平洋岛国关系，多做有利于帮助岛国发展的实事。
