答:一段时间以来,个别国家的个别人士炒作所谓中国新疆维吾尔自治区存在的问题,对中方为维护新疆地区安宁稳定、当地各族人民安居乐业所采取的预防性反恐和去极端化措施进行恶毒攻击。我在这里已经介绍过,国际社会真正有识之士以及到新疆亲身实地了解过情况的人士已经作出了客观公正的表态。我们敦促你所提到的有关美方人士能够尊重事实,停止采取如此抹黑他国政府、破坏中美关系的举动。
至于你问到了中国政府的立场,我可以在这里负责任地告诉你,中国政府会继续坚定地采取一切有利于维护包括新疆各族人民在内的中国人民安居乐业权利的措施。
A: For some time, certain individuals of certain countries have been playing up issues in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and leveling venomous attacks against the preventive counter-terrorism and de-radicalization measures the Chinese government has taken to keep Xinjiang a stable and tranquil place where people of various ethnic groups live happily together. As I said, people with true insight of the international community and those who have visited this region for themselves have made objective and just statements. We hope the US individuals you mentioned will respect facts and stop such actions that smear other governments and sabotage China-US relations.
You asked about the Chinese government's position. I would like to emphasize that the Chinese government will remain resolute in taking all measures conducive to improving the welfare of the Chinese people, including people of various ethnic groups living in Xinjiang.
问:俄罗斯总统普京昨天签署命令宣布暂停履行《中导条约》,直到美方停止违反条约或条约废止。你对此有何评论?
答:《中导条约》作为军控与裁军领域一项重要的双边条约,它对于缓和大国关系、增进国际与地区和平、维护全球战略平衡与稳定具有十分重要的意义。我们确实担心,条约一旦废除,将给全世界的和平与安全带来消极影响。中方反对美方退约行为,我们敦促美俄双方通过建设性对话,妥善解决分歧,尽快恢复遵约。
Q: Russian President Putin signed a decree yesterday to suspend Russia's obligations under the terms of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and said the hold would remain in place until the US ends its violations of the treaty or until it terminates. Do you have any comment?
A: We have talked about our position on the INF Treaty many times. As an important bilateral treaty in the field of arms control and disarmament, the INF Treaty is of great significance to easing major-country relations, promoting international and regional peace, and maintaining global strategic balance and stability. We are indeed concerned that its nullification will have a negative impact on world peace and security. The Chinese side opposes the US withdrawal from the Treaty and urges the US and Russia to properly resolve differences through constructive dialogue and return to compliance with the Treaty at an early date.
