　　问：据报道，中方把海军中将沈金龙从访美途中召回。同时，一艘美国海军军舰被拒绝访港。中方对此有何评论？ 

　　答：9月22日，中国中央军委国际军事合作办公室副主任召见了美国驻华使馆代理国防武官，就美方宣布对中央军委装备发展部及该部负责人实施制裁提出了严正交涉和抗议。交涉中，军方有关负责人表明了中方严正立场，并明确宣布，中方将立即召回正在美参加第二十三届“国际海上力量研讨会”并计划访美的海军司令员沈金龙。有关消息稿对此已经说得非常清楚了。 

　　至于你提到的美国军舰在香港停靠问题，对于这样的请求，中方一直根据主权原则和具体情况来逐案进行审批。 

Q: It is reported that Vice Admiral Shen Jinlong was recalled from the visit to the US and at the same time, a US navy ship has been denied permission to call in Hong Kong. What's your comment on that?

A: On September 22, Vice Director of the Office for International Military Cooperation of China's Central Military Commission has summoned the Acting Military Attaché of the US Embassy in China and lodged stern representations and protest against the US announcement of sanctions on the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission and its Director. Meanwhile, relevant military officer also made clear China's stern position and explicitly announced that the Chinese side would immediately call back Navy Commander Shen Jinlong, who is attending the 23rd International Seapower Symposium and planning to visit the US. I believe this has been made very clear in the press release.

As to the issue of US warship calling in Hong Kong you asked, the Chinese side reviews and approves such request in accordance with the principle of sovereignty and specific situation on a case-by-case basis.
