　　问：据报道，美国国务院发表年度《香港政策法报告》。中方对此有何评论？

　　答：香港回归以来，“一国两制”、“港人治港”、高度自治方针得到切实贯彻落实，香港居民享有的权利和自由依法得到充分保障。中国政府严格按照宪法和基本法办事、全面准确贯彻“一国两制”方针的决心坚定不移，不会改变。

　　我想强调，香港是中国的特别行政区，香港事务纯属中国内政，外国政府无权干涉。美方发表的有关报告，无视事实，对香港事务说三道四，对中国中央政府和香港特区政府进行无端指责，中方对此强烈不满和坚决反对。我们要求美方停止这一错误做法，在涉港问题上谨言慎行。

Q: According to media reports, the US State Department released its annual Hong Kong Policy Act Report. Do you have any comment on that?

A: Since Hong Kong's return, the policies of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy in Hong Kong have been earnestly implemented and Hong Kong people's rights and freedoms have been fully guaranteed. The Chinese government's resolve to handle all matters in strict compliance with the Constitution and the Basic Law and to fully and faithfully implement the policy of "one country, two systems" will not change.

I want to stress that Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China and Hong Kong affairs are purely China's domestic affairs. No foreign government has the right to interfere. The US report finds fault with Hong Kong affairs and wantonly criticizes China's central government and the Hong Kong SAR government in disregard of facts. We deplore and stand resolutely against it and urge the US to stop such erroneous practice and be prudent with its words and deeds on matters relating to Hong Kong.

　　问：据彭博社报道，消息人士称，美国政府已批准台湾购买60多架F-16战斗机的请求。中方对此有何评论？

　　答：中方坚决反对美售台武器的立场是一贯的，也是坚定的，已就此向美方提出严正交涉。我们敦促美方充分认识到有关问题的高度敏感性和严重的危害性，恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，特别是“八·一七”公报规定，停止售台武器和美台军事联系，慎重妥善处理涉台问题，以免严重损害中美重要领域合作和台海和平稳定。

Q: Bloomberg News reported that the US government has given approval to Taiwan's request to buy more than 60 F-16 fighter jets, according to people familiar with the matter. I wonder if you have any comment on that?

A: China resolutely opposes US arms sales to Taiwan, and this position remains consistent and firm. We have lodged stern representations to the US. We urge the US to fully recognize the highly sensitive and harmful nature of the relevant issue, abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, especially the August 17 communiqué, to stop arms sales to and military contact with Taiwan, and carefully and prudently handle the Taiwan-related issues lest it should seriously damage the cooperation between China and the US in important areas and the peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.
