在此，我们再次敦促美方停止泛化国家安全概念，停止对中国的蓄意抹黑和指责，停止对特定中国企业的无理打压，为中国企业在美正常经营活动提供公平、公正、非歧视的环境，多做有利于促进中美互信与合作的事情。

　　问：据报道，美国负责国际宗教自由事务的无任所大使布朗巴克近日在印度同达赖进行会见。布朗巴克称，美支持西藏人民及达赖喇嘛，认为挑选达赖喇嘛继任者不属于任何政府或实体。布还称西藏民众不被允许在西藏自由信奉宗教。中方对此有何评论？

We once again urge the US side to stop abusing the concept of national security, stop smearing and accusing China, and stop oppressing certain Chinese enterprises. It should provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for the Chinese businesses in the US, and work to promote mutual trust and cooperation between the two sides.

Q: US Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback met with the Dalai Lama in India recently. He said that the US stands with the people of Tibet and the Dalai Lama, and that the role of picking a successor to the Dalai Lama doesn't belong to any government or any entity. He added that the Tibetan people are not allowed to practice their religious belief freely in Tibet. What's your comment?

　　答：十四世达赖是打着宗教幌子在境外长期从事反华分裂活动的政治流亡者，中方坚决反对任何外国官方人士同其进行任何形式的接触。美方官员有关言行违反美方关于承认西藏是中国一部分、不支持“藏独”的承诺，中方对此表示坚决反对。

　　活佛转世是藏传佛教特有的传承方式，有固定的宗教仪轨和历史定制。中国政府实行宗教信仰自由政策，颁布有《宗教事务条例》和《藏传佛教活佛转世管理办法》，尊重和保护藏传佛教这一传承方式。达赖喇嘛活佛转世系统已经有几百年的历史，十四世达赖本人就是按照宗教仪轨和历史定制寻访认定，报请当时的中央政府批准继位的。因此，包括达赖喇嘛在内的活佛转世，都应当遵守国家法律、法规，遵循宗教仪轨、历史定制。

A: The 14th Dalai Lama is a political exile who has long been engaging in anti-China separatist activities using religion as a cover. China firmly opposes any form of contact between foreign officials and him. What the US official has said and done violates US commitment on recognizing Tibet as part of China and not supporting the so-called "Tibetan independence". China is firmly opposed to that.

The reincarnation of Living Buddhas is an institution of succession unique to Tibetan Buddhism and is governed by fixed religious rituals and historical conventions. The Chinese government implements the policy of freedom of religious belief. The reincarnation system is respected and protected by Regulations on Religious Affairs and Measures on the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas. The institution of reincarnation of the Dalai Lama has been in existence for several hundred years. The 14th Dalai Lama himself was found and recognized following religious rituals and historical conventions and his succession was approved by the then central government. Therefore reincarnation of Living Buddhas including the Dalai Lama must comply with Chinese laws and regulations and follow religious rituals and historical conventions.

　　我们强烈敦促美方停止同达赖集团进行任何形式的接触，停止发表不负责任的言论，停止利用涉藏问题干涉中国内政，多做有利于促进中美互信与合作的事，而不是相反。

　　问：据报道，美国总统特朗普昨天称，可能会同中国提前签署很大一部分贸易协议。他特别强调，这将使美农民受益。中方对此有何评论？

We strongly urge the US side to stop any form of contact with the Dalai clique, stop issuing irresponsible remarks and stop using Tibet-related issues to interfere in China's internal affairs. It should do more to promote rather than undermine mutual trust and cooperation between China and the US.

Q: US President Trump said yesterday that a very big portion of a trade deal with China will probably be signed ahead of schedule, and he said specifically that this will help US farmers. Do you have any comment on this?

　　答：关于中美经贸问题，在不久前结束的第13轮高级别磋商中，双方在部分协议磋商上取得实质性进展。25日，双方牵头人进行了通话，同意妥善解决各自核心关切，并确认部分文本的技术性磋商基本完成。双方牵头人将于近期再次通话，在此期间，工作层将持续抓紧磋商。中方希望双方能在相互尊重、平等互利的基础上找到解决经贸问题的办法。

　　至于你关心的一些具体情况，建议你向主管部门询问。

A: Regarding the economic and trade issues between China and the US, the two sides made substantial progress in some of the consultations towards an agreement in the recently-concluded 13th round of talks. On October 25, the heads of the two teams agreed in a telephone call to properly address each other's core concerns and affirmed that technical consultations on part of the text has been basically completed. They will have another telephone call shortly. In the meantime, working-level consultations will be continued at a fast pace. It is China's hope that the two sides can find a way to resolve the economic and trade issues on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.

As to the specifics you are interested in, I would refer you to the competent authority.
