　　问：针对中国在新疆大规模关押维族人的情况，来自数十个国家的278位学者要求对中国实施制裁，中方对此有何评论？

China and the Philippines are close neighbors facing each other across the sea.

No long ago, President Xi Jinping paid a successful state visit to the Philippines, during which the two sides signed around 30 cooperation agreements in the fields of infrastructure, energy, agriculture, etc. Following the consensus reached by the two leaders, the two sides will continue to deepen practical cooperation in various areas to achieve common development and deliver benefits to the two countries and peoples.

Q: A group of 278 scholars from dozens of countries have called on countries to hit China with sanctions over the mass detention of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. What is your comment?

　　答：在大家比较关注的涉疆问题上，中方最近已经多次阐明立场。我们也发布了白皮书，建议你可以去仔细阅读一下。

　　我这里要强调的是，新疆目前政治稳定，经济发展，人民安居乐业。中方采取有关措施完全是出于反恐需要。我们坚决反对任何外部势力干涉新疆事务，干涉中国内政。

A: Regarding the Xinjiang-related issue that you are interested in, China has made clear its position many times. We have also released a white paper and I would like to refer you to that.

Here I want to stress that Xinjiang now enjoys social stability and economic growth, and the people there live a happy life. The relevant measures taken by China aim to combat terrorism. We are firmly opposed to any foreign force meddling in Xinjiang-related affairs and China's domestic affairs.

Q: Could you just clarify what is the nature of the consensus reached between President Xi Jinping and President Trump?

A: Like I just said in my previous reply, during their telephone conversation on November 1, the two heads of state agreed to seek a solution which is acceptable to both sides on the trade issues. According to my understanding, the two heads of state have also instructed their economic teams to enhance communication. Now the economic teams from the two countries are indeed following through on the consensus reached by the two heads of state.
