日前，美国国务卿蓬佩奥在加利福尼亚州尼克松总统图书馆发表演讲，全盘否定中美关系，恶意攻击中国共产党领导和中国政治制度，挑拨中国共产党与中国人民的联系，并对中国内外政策进行无端指责，散布“中国威胁论”，妄图挑动拼凑国际反华联盟，遏制中国发展。

The day before, United States Secretary of State Pompeyo delivered a speech at the Library of President Nixon, California, in which he denied US-China relations altogether, attacked the Chinese Communist Party leadership and the Chinese political system in a malicious manner, incited the Chinese Communist Party to connect with the Chinese people, and made unprovoked accusations against China's internal and external policies, spreading “China Threat doctrine” in an attempt to stir up the international anti-China coalition and curb China's development.

蓬佩奥言论无视历史，罔顾现实，充斥着强烈意识形态偏见和冷战思维。蓬佩奥的言论不仅遭到中国人民的谴责，也遭到美国内和国际上理性人士的批评和反对。

Pompeyo’s rhetoric ignores history, ignores reality, and is replete with strong ideological bias and cold-war thinking. Pompey’s statements have not only been condemned by the Chinese people, but have also been criticized and rejected by rational figures at the national and international levels.

对于蓬佩奥的满嘴谎言，还是让事实来说话!

For Pompeyo's lies, or let the truth speak!

1.蓬佩奥：中国人民不等同于中国共产党，中国共产党最大的谎言是为中国14亿人民代言，中国共产党对中国人民诚实意见的恐惧甚于任何敌人。

1. Pompeyo: The Chinese people are not equal to the Chinese Communist Party, whose biggest lie is to speak out for the 1.4 billion Chinese people, who fear the Chinese people's honest views more than any enemy.

错!

Wrong!

◆中国共产党没有任何自己的特殊利益，始终把为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴作为自己的初心和使命，始终代表中国最广大人民的根本利益，全心全意为人民服务，坚持一切依靠人民、一切为了人民、一切以人民至上，把人民利益当作一切工作的出发点和落脚点。中国共产党带领中国人民赢得了独立、自由和解放，在国家建设和发展进程中不断取得伟大成就。

The Communist Party of China does not have any special interests of its own. It has always made it its first intention and mission to achieve well-being for the Chinese people and rehabilitation for the Chinese nation. It has always represented the fundamental interests of China’s largest people. It has always served the people with all its heart. It insists on relying on the people, on all things for the sake of the people, and on all things for the sake of the people, and on making the people’s interests the starting point and setting the ground for all efforts. The Communist Party of China has led the Chinese people to win independence, freedom and liberation, and has consistently achieved great achievements in the process of nation-building and development.

◆中国共产党根基在人民、血脉在人民，中国共产党的领导地位是历史和人民的选择。建党99年来，从50多名党员的小党发展到拥有近亿党员的大党，中国共产党深深扎根在中国人民之中，与中国人民鱼水情深、血肉相连，始终保持旺盛的生机与活力。截至2019年底，中国共产党共有党员9191.4万名，入党申请人1899.2万名，是在世界人口最多国家长期执政的世界第一大党。任何人都无法对中国共产党受到中国人民拥护和支持的现实视而不见。美国《外交政策》杂志资深编辑帕尔默指出，中国共产党已经深深地融入普通中国人的生活，“没有共产党，就没有新中国”是中国人的普遍信仰，信任中国共产党是中国社会主流民意。

The Communist Party of China (CPC) has grown from a small party of more than 50 members to a large party with nearly a billion members in 99 years. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is deeply rooted among the Chinese people, linked to the Chinese people’s fish and blood, and has always maintained its strength and vitality. By the end of 2019, the Communist Party of China had 91,914,000 members, and the candidate for membership was the world’s first party in power for a long time in the world’s largest country.

◆新加坡国立大学教授、前驻联合国大使马凯硕在美国《国家利益》杂志发表文章指出，蓬佩奥声称中国人民与中国共产党并不同心同德，然而现实却是，每年有大量中国人申请加入中国共产党，其中只有少数申请人会被吸纳入党。成为中国共产党党员同进入美国顶尖大学一样不容易。中国共产党不是一个会在美国压力下崩溃的政党，它有着14亿人民支持的牢固执政基础。

According to a post published in the United States magazine National Interest, Singapore National University Professor and former United Nations Ambassador MacKaysung, Pompeyo claims that the Chinese people disagree with the Chinese Communist Party, but the reality is that every year a large number of Chinese apply to join the Chinese Communist Party, with only a few of the applicants being drawn into the Party. It is as difficult to be a member of the Chinese Communist Party as to enter the top university in the United States.

◆中国共产党坚持以人民为中心的发展思想。在中国共产党领导下，中国的人均国内生产总值从新中国成立之初的不到120元增长到2019年的7万余元，解决了近14亿人的温饱，减少了8.5亿贫困人口，为7.7亿人提供就业，为2.5亿老年人、8500万残疾人和6000多万城乡低保人口提供基本保障，实现了近14亿人从贫困到温饱再到小康的历史性跨越，建成了世界最大规模的教育体系、最大规模的社保体系、最大规模的医疗体系、最大规模的基层民主选举体系。

Under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, China’s per capita gross domestic product (GDP) grew from less than 120 yuan at the beginning of the new China, to over 70,000 yuan in 2019, providing for the subsistence of nearly 1.4 billion people, reducing the number of people living in poverty by 850 million, providing employment to 770 million people, providing basic security for 250 million older persons, 85 million disabled persons and more than 60 million low-income urban and rural populations, and achieving a historic transition from poverty to subsistence and well-being for nearly 1.4 billion people, creating the world’s largest educational system, the largest social security system, the largest health system, and the largest system of democratic elections at the grass-roots level.

◆新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，中国共产党和中国政府坚持“人民至上、生命至上”，不惜一切代价拯救生命、保护人民生命健康安全。上到108岁的老人，下至出生仅30个小时的婴儿，都全力救治。目前，中国疫情防控取得重大战略成果，今年第二季度经济增速由负转正，增长3.2%，经济运行呈恢复性增长和稳步复苏态势。国际金融协会、瑞银集团等多家知名国际机构专家和媒体均看好中国经济前景。

Since the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Government have insisted on “the primacy of the people and the primacy of life”, saving lives and protecting the health and safety of people at all costs. Older persons up to 108 years of age, with only 30 hours of birth, are doing their utmost to cure the disease.

◆在新冠肺炎疫情危及人民生命安全的关键时刻，党中央一声令下，广大党员干部挺身而出。从重症病房争分夺秒的救治，到城乡社区挨家挨户的排查；从工厂车间加班加点的生产，到科研实验室夜以继日的攻关……3900多万党员干部不分昼夜，460多万基层党组织高效运转，近400名党员干部献出生命。哪里有危险，哪里就有党员的身影，党旗在疫情防控斗争第一线高高飘扬。实践证明，各级党组织和广大党员干部充分发挥了战斗堡垒、先锋模范作用，是抗击疫情的中流砥柱。

At a critical time when the new coronary pneumonia epidemic threatened the lives of the people, the party’s cadres stepped up under orders from the center of the party. From time-consuming treatment in intensive wards to house-to-house screening in urban and rural communities; from overtime production in factory workshops to night-to-day raids in scientific research laboratories; more than 39 million party cadres, day-to-day, with more than 4.6 million grass-roots party organizations operating efficiently and nearly 400 party cadres giving their lives. Where there is danger, the party’s body is visible, and the party’s flag is high on the front line of the fight against the epidemic.

◆全球知名市场研究集团益普索2018年8月发布的题为《令世界担忧的事》的报告显示，中国领衔“全球乐观国家”，91%的中国人认为自己国家走在正确的道路上，位居所有28个被调查国家榜首，远高于美国。

According to a report published in August 2018 by the world's leading market research group, The World's Worrying, 91 per cent of China's people considered their country to be on the right track and to be at the top of the list of 28 countries surveyed, well above the United States.

◆美国知名公关公司爱德曼今年5月发布的《2020年信任度调查报告》显示，中国民众对本国政府信任度达95%，在受访国家中排名第一。而美国名列倒数第二，被评定为“不信任”等级。

According to the trust survey of 2020, published last May by the well-known American public relations company Edman, Chinese people have a 95% confidence in their government, ranking first among the countries visited. The US is ranked second in the last place, rated as “no trust.”

◆2020年7月，美国哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院阿什民主治理与创新中心发布题为《理解中国共产党韧性：中国民意长期调查》调查报告显示，2003年以来，中国民众对政府的满意度几乎全面提升，尤其是内陆及贫困地区民众的满意度提升较大。从2003年到2016年，中国民众对各级政府的满意度均有所提升，高达93.1%。

• In July 2020, the Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation in Ash, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, United States, published a survey entitled Understanding Communist Party Resilience: Long-Term Survey of Chinese Opinions, which showed that, since 2003, Chinese people's satisfaction with the Government had increased almost completely, particularly in landlocked and impoverished areas, and that, from 2003 to 2016, Chinese people's satisfaction at all levels of government had increased to 93.1 per cent.

◆美国加州大学“中国数据实验室”近期发布在线调查报告指出，中国人对其政府的信任度和支持度持续上升，疫情后上升趋势更加明显。截至2020年5月，对政府的信任度已升至8.87(满分10分)，83%的受访者同意和强烈同意“更愿意生活在中国政治体制中”。

• A recent online survey by the University of California “China Data Laboratory” reported that Chinese trust and support for their government continued to rise, and that the rise in the aftermath of the epidemic was even more pronounced. As of May 2020, trust in government had risen to 8.87 (10 points), with 83% of respondents agreeing and strongly agreeing “to live in China’s political system.”

◆反观美国，一些政客坚持“政治私利至上”“资本至上”，不惜淡化疫情，不讲科学，甚至“甩锅”、推责，导致疫情大暴发，人民生命健康受到极大侵害。今年5月美国媒体有关统计数据显示，美国31个州超过三分之一的新冠肺炎死亡病例来自养老院。截至8月24日，美国累计确诊病例达569万，是中国累计确诊病例的约63倍；美国累计死亡病例17万多，每百万人口死亡病例约540人，分别是中国有关数据的约37倍和160倍。美国人口占世界4%，新冠肺炎感染人数和死亡人数分别占世界的24%和22%。美国民众对新冠肺炎疫情的焦虑情绪日益上涨，近期民调显示有81%的受访者表示“非常”或“有些”担心。美国全国公共广播电台和益普索公司8月4日公布的一项联合民调显示，约三分之二的美国人认为美国新冠肺炎疫情应对情况不如其他国家。其中41%的美国人认为美国对新冠疫情的应对情况比其他国家差很多，25%的人认为差一些。益普索集团民调专家表示，美国处于很糟糕的境地，美国人希望看到彻底、广泛且有力的应对举措。美国经济遭遇“休克式打击”，今年第二季度美国实际国内生产总值按年率计算萎缩32.9%，为1947年有记录以来最大降幅。日前，全球三大信用评级机构之一的惠誉国际将美国主权信用评级展望由“稳定”下调至“负面”。

By 24 August, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States amounted to some 63 times the cumulative number of confirmed cases in China; the cumulative number of deaths in the United States amounted to more than 17,000, about 540 per million, about 37 times the number of deaths per million in China, and 160 times the number of deaths in China's data. The United States, which accounts for 4 per cent of the world's population and 24 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively, of the number of new coronal pneumonia infections and deaths.

2.蓬佩奥：中国不是自由国家，14亿中国人民在国内受到监控、迫害。中国重复了苏联曾犯的错误，拒绝赋予人民财产权和可预测的法治社会。

2. Pompeyo: China is not a free country, and 1.4 billion Chinese people are being monitored and persecuted in the country. China repeats the mistakes made by the Soviet Union and refuses to grant property rights to its people and a predictable society based on the rule of law.

错!

Wrong!

◆中国实行中国特色社会主义制度，人民当家作主是社会主义民主政治的本质特征。中国特色社会主义政治制度坚持中国共产党的领导、人民当家作主、依法治国有机统一，不断加强人民当家作主的制度保障。

China has a socialist system of Chinese identity, in which popular ownership is an essential feature of socialist democracy. The socialist political system of Chinese identity adheres to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, to the ownership of the people, to the unity of the country in accordance with the rule of law, and to the strengthening of institutional safeguards of popular ownership.

◆中国是从帝国主义和殖民主义压迫中打破专制、赢得自由的国家。自由、民主、法治早已写入中国的宪法，也已成为中国特色社会主义核心价值观的重要内容。1997年，中共十五大明确提出，“保证人民依法享有广泛的权利和自由，尊重和保障人权”。2007年，“尊重和保障人权”首次载入《中国共产党章程》。2017年，中共十九大确立习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为中国共产党的指导思想，明确提出“加强人权法治保障，保证人民依法享有广泛权利和自由”，强调保护人民人身权、财产权、人格权。中国政府根据中国宪法和法律切实尊重和充分保障本国公民的人权与自由。

• China broke the dictatorship and won freedom from imperialism and colonial oppression. Freedom, democracy, and the rule of law have long been enshrined in China’s Constitution, and have become important elements of the core values of socialism in China’s identity. In 1997, China made it clear that “the people are guaranteed a wide range of rights and freedoms in accordance with the law and respect and guarantee human rights.” In 2007, “respect and guarantee of human rights” was first enshrined in the Statute of the Communist Party of China. In 2017, the 19th Congress established Xi Jinping as the guiding principle of the Communist Party of China, which clearly stated that “the rule of law should be strengthened to guarantee the rights and freedoms of the people in accordance with the law” and emphasized the protection of the human rights, property rights and human dignity of the people. The Chinese Government effectively respected and fully guaranteed the human rights and freedoms of its citizens in accordance with China’s Constitution and laws.

◆2020年5月28日，中国第十三届全国人民代表大会第三次会议表决通过了《中华人民共和国民法典》，这是新时代中国社会主义法治建设的重大成果。民法典共7编、1260条、10万多字，对国内现行的、制定于不同时期的民法通则、物权法、合同法、担保法、婚姻法、收养法、继承法、侵权责任法和人格权方面的民事法律规范进行全面系统的编订纂修，调整规范自然人、法人等民事主体之间的人身关系和财产关系，实现了对生命健康、财产安全、交易便利、生活幸福、人格尊严等各方面权利的平等保护。

On 28 May 2020, the Third Meeting of the Thirteenth National People's Congress of China voted to adopt the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, which is a major achievement in the construction of the socialist rule of law in China in the new era. The Civil Code consists of 7 titles, 1260 articles and more than 100,000 words, and provides a comprehensive and systematic overhaul of the civil legal norms in force in the country, which have been formulated at various times, in terms of the general principles of civil law, property security, convenience, well-being, contract law, security law, marriage law, adoption law, inheritance law, tort liability law and personal rights, regulating personal and property relations between natural and legal persons, and achieving equal protection of the rights to life and health, property security, convenience, human dignity, etc.

◆中国依法保障宗教信仰自由。中国各族人民中信仰各种宗教的公民近2亿人，有38万多宗教教职人员和14万多处依法登记的宗教活动场所。以多种语言文字翻译出版发行伊斯兰教、佛教、基督教等宗教典籍。西藏自治区有藏传佛教活动场所1787处，住寺僧尼4.6万多人。新疆维吾尔自治区有清真寺、教堂、寺院、道观等宗教活动场所2.48万座，平均每530位穆斯林群众就拥有一座清真寺，教职人员2.93万人，学生可在伊斯兰教经学院接受本科教育，《古兰经》《布哈里圣训实录精华》等出版发行达176万余册。

China guarantees freedom of religion and belief in accordance with the law. Nearly 200 million citizens of all ethnic groups in China, more than 380,000 religious practitioners and 140,000 places of religious activity have been registered in accordance with the law. Religious titles such as Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, etc. have been translated and published in several languages and published. There are 1,787 Tibetan Buddhist places in the Tibet Autonomous Region, with more than 46,000 monks living in temples. The Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region has 248,000 mosques, churches, monasteries, occults, etc., with an average of 530 Muslim people owning a mosque, with 29,300 teaching staff, and students have access to undergraduate education at the Islamic School of Education.

◆自由不是放任，科学理性、法律秩序以及国际规则都是自由的基础。孟德斯鸠在《论法的精神》中说：“自由是做法律所许可的一切事情的权利。如果一个公民能够做法律所禁止的事情，他就不再有自由。”任何自由都有边界，即便所谓的“自由国家”，也为自由划定了明确禁区和限制内容，绝不允许突破法律制度的底线。中国政府采取维护国家统一、民族团结和社会稳定的各项举措，是法律赋予的权力，是保护绝大多数公民合法权益的职责所在，是中国内部事务，不容任何外部势力干预。

Freedom is not an option, scientific rationality, the legal order, and international rules are the foundation of freedom. In the spirit of the doctrine, Montesquieu says: “Freedom is the right to do everything that is permitted by law. If a citizen can do anything that is prohibited by law, he will no longer be free.” Any freedom, even the so-called “free State”, has borders that clearly prohibit it and limits it, and does not allow it to break through the legal system. The Chinese Government’s initiatives to preserve national unity, national unity and social stability are the powers conferred by law, the duty to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the vast majority of its citizens, are the internal affairs of China and do not allow any interference from outside forces.

◆世界上100多个国家的宪法都规定，行使基本权利和自由不得危害国家安全。《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》规定，信仰自由、言论自由、和平集会自由、接受公开审判等项权利都可基于国家安全、公共秩序等原因受到必要限制。《欧洲人权公约》也有类似规定。美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚等国均建立了维护国家安全的严密法律体系，在打击危害国家安全的犯罪行为方面毫不手软。

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides that the rights to freedom of belief, freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly, public trial, etc. may be subject to such restrictions as are necessary for reasons of national security, public order, etc. The European Convention on Human Rights contains similar provisions.

3.蓬佩奥：美国是包括中国人民在内的全世界人民心目中的自由灯塔。

3. Pompeo: The United States is a beacon of freedom in the minds of the peoples of the world, including the Chinese people.

错!

Wrong!

◆美国自我标榜为“自由灯塔”，但这不过是愚弄民众、欺骗世界的虚构幻境。美联社与芝加哥大学全国民意研究中心联合创办的公共事务研究中心对美国民众进行民意调查结果显示，80%的受访者认为美国的发展方向是错误的，为近几年来最高。美国皮尤研究中心7月1日发布的民调显示，只有12%的美国人对国家现状满意，87%的人不满意。绝大多数美国人对政府的运行方式不满意。盖洛普公司民调显示，美国人自豪感跌至20年最低，仅有20%的受访者对美国当前走的道路感到满意。美国白人的“极度”自豪感在过去20年里首次降至50%以下，而非白人则仅为24%。

According to a poll published by the United States Pew Research Center on 1 July, only 12% of Americans are satisfied with the state of the country and 87% are not. The majority of Americans are not satisfied with the way the government works.

◆美在全球范围非常不受欢迎，世界上只有三分之一的民众赞成美领导地位。智库欧洲对外关系委员会一份调查报告显示，多国民众对美国的信任正在消失。调查人员访问了来自9个欧洲国家的1.1万人，其中德国、法国、西班牙、葡萄牙和丹麦各有至少三分之二的受访者表示，他们对美国的看法变差了。美国声誉在法国和德国下降得尤其严重。46%的法国受访者和42%的德国受访者表示，美国在他们心目中的形象因疫情危机“严重恶化”。2020年“最佳国家”报告显示，世界对美国的信任度自2016年来下降了50%，降幅居世界首位。

At least two-thirds of the respondents from nine European countries, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Denmark each, said that their perception of the United States had deteriorated. The reputation of the United States declined particularly in France and Germany. 46% of the French respondents and 42% of the German respondents said that the image of the United States in their minds was “gravely deteriorating” as a result of the epidemic crisis.

◆7月27日，美国盖洛普公司网站发布年度调查报告，表示“美国的领导力在世界继续不受欢迎”。美国眼中的“自由世界”尤其不认可美国的领导力。美国的欧洲传统盟友对其领导地位的支持率最低，其中，61%的受访者不满意美国的表现，仅有24%的人赞同；在英国，不认可美国的比例为65%；法国的数据也类似；在德国，美国的领导地位支持率甚至更糟，78%的人不认可美国表现。在政府紧跟美国的澳大利亚，民众也对美国的领导地位深表怀疑，67%的受访者不认可美国表现。

On July 27, the US Gallup website released an annual survey report stating that “American leadership continues to be unpopular in the world.” In America’s view, the “free world” does not recognize American leadership in particular. America’s traditional allies in Europe have the lowest level of support for their leadership, with 61% of respondents not satisfied with America’s performance, with only 24% agreeing; in the United Kingdom, 65% did not recognize the United States; in France, the figures are similar; and in Germany, America’s leadership support is even worse, with 78% not recognizing America’s performance.

◆美国前副国务卿、乔治·华盛顿大学媒体与公共事务学院公共外交研究员塔拉·索南夏恩日前表示，美国正在失去全球领导地位，国际声望开始跌至谷底，正在被盟国所抛弃。在过去数年里，美国推出的许多关键政策在全球范围内普遍不受欢迎，尤其是“美国优先”的原则引发了不少盟国不满。皮尤研究中心在37个国家调查发现，认同美国正确处理国际事务的比例仅为20%。

As former U.S. Under-Secretary of State and public diplomacy researcher at the George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs, Tara Sonanchann, said before, the US is losing global leadership, and international prestige is beginning to fall to the bottom and is being abandoned by allies. Over the past few years, many of the key policies introduced by the US have been universally unpopular, particularly the “American priority” principle.

◆美国公民人格尊严和隐私权遭受系统性侵犯。《达拉斯晨报》2019年12月6日报道，美国联邦、州、地方执法部门仅在得克萨斯州就设立8个秘密监视中心，共享情报监控社交媒体和其他在线论坛。美国审计署2019年6月4日报告显示，联邦调查局的人脸识别办公室可以在无合法许可的情况下，任意检索包括6.41亿张照片的数据库。

The Dallas Morning News reported on 6 December 2019 that the U.S. federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities have set up eight secret surveillance centres in Texas alone to share intelligence to monitor social media and other online forums. A report by the U.S. Audit Office of 4 June 2019 shows that the F.B.I.P.D.D. Office can freely access databases containing 641 million photographs without legal permission.

◆美国对少数族裔的人权和基本自由缺乏保护。美国内少数族裔饱受欺凌排斥，在政治、经济、文化、社会生活等各个领域面临长期、广泛、系统性的歧视。仅就美国印第安人而言，美政府对其长期实行强制种族灭绝、隔离、同化政策。美国在其建国后的近百年时间里，通过西进运动大肆驱逐、杀戮印第安人。到20世纪初，美国范围内的印第安人口已从1492年的500万骤减至25万。如今，在美印第安人数量仅占美总人口的2%。新冠肺炎疫情发生后，非洲裔美国人的患病率是白人的5倍多，死亡率也远远高于白人，凸显美国的种族不平等。美国警察暴力执法致人死亡、开枪射杀行为并不鲜见，仅2019年就达到1004起。在2018年美国执法部门报告的7036起因偏见引发的仇恨犯罪案件中，57.5%涉及种族族裔身份；而在涉及种族族裔身份的仇恨犯罪案件中，高达46.9%的针对非洲裔。在种族仇恨犯罪案件的5155名受害者中，非洲裔高达47.1%。2020年5月25日，美国明尼苏达州非洲裔男子乔治·弗洛伊德遭白人警察暴力执法致死，引发美全国范围的大规模抗议示威活动。联合国人权理事会举行紧急辩论并通过决议，对此提出强烈谴责，呼吁美方采取切实措施，保护非洲人后裔的人权和基本自由。

The United States lacks protection for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of minorities. Minorities in the United States have suffered from bullying and long-standing, widespread and systematic discrimination in all areas of politics, economy, culture, and social life. In the case of American Indians alone, the United States Government has long imposed a policy of forced genocide, segregation, and assimilation. The United States, in almost a century since its founding, has carried out mass expulsions and killings of Indians through the Westward Movement. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Indian population within the United States had dropped sharply from 5 million in 1492 to 250,000. Today, the number of American Indians is only 2 per cent of the total American population.

◆美国在西方国家中贫富分化最为严重。《商业内幕》网站2017年1月报道，德意志银行首席国际经济学家托斯坦·斯洛克以收入水平来计算美国家庭财富的报告显示，美国最富有0.1%家庭的财富相当于最底层90%家庭所拥有财富的总和。1989年至2018年，最底层50%的家庭财富净增长基本为零。受疫情影响，自今年2月以来，美国雇主裁员数千万名，低薪工人受到的打击尤其严重，就业率比疫情暴发以前低了35%左右。

The U.S. is the most divided of the rich and poor in Western countries. As reported on the Inner Business website in January 2017, the German Bank’s chief international economist, Tostan Sloke, calculates the wealth of American households at income levels, showing that the wealth of the richest 0.1% of households in the United States is equivalent to the wealth of the bottom 90% of households combined.

◆美国粗暴打压媒体，限制新闻自由。《华盛顿邮报》网站2019年4月报道，美国在年度新闻自由指数中的排名连续三年下降。2019年美国共有38名记者遭到袭击，发生记者被拒绝参加公开政府活动的事件28起，9名记者被捕或面临刑事指控。美国《纽约时报》《国会山报》和英国《卫报》等媒体频频披露记者在报道美国弗洛伊德抗议活动过程中遭袭和被捕的新闻，仅2020年5月26日至6月2日期间，就有148名记者被殃及，其中40名记者遭子弹射击，34名记者遭警察人身攻击，33名记者被逮捕或拘留，甚至一名女摄影记者左眼被橡胶子弹击中导致永久性失明。英国《卫报》网站2019年12月报道指出，本届美国政府“对新闻自由进行了有史以来最持久的攻击”。

In April 2019, the Washington Post website reported that the annual press freedom index had fallen for three consecutive years. In 2019, 38 journalists in the United States had been attacked, 28 journalists had been denied access to public government activities, and 9 journalists had been arrested or faced criminal charges. Media outlets such as the New York Times of Congress Hill and the British Guardian had frequently disclosed news of journalists being attacked and arrested in the course of reporting on the Freud protests in the United States. Between 26 May and 2 June 2020 alone, 148 journalists had been killed, 40 had been shot, 34 had been physically assaulted by police officers, 33 had been arrested or detained, and even a female photographer had been shot in the left eye by rubber bullets, causing permanent blindness.

◆美国政府滥用国家安全名义，动用国家资源抹黑攻击、围追堵截包括华为、字节跳动、腾讯在内的中国民营企业，粗暴禁止国内运营商购买华为和中兴设备、打压包括抖音海外版(TikTok)、微信在内的中国社交媒体应用程序，违反公平自由竞争的市场原则，甚至明火执仗，强取豪夺。这样的国家怎么会成为中国人民的灯塔？!

In the name of national security, the U.S. government uses its national resources to blackout attacks, round up Chinese national businesses, including China, by-laws, and tweaking, and arbitrarily forbids domestic operators from buying Chinese and Chinese equipment, squeezing Chinese social media applications, including TikTok, Mimi, and violating the principles of fair and free competition in the market, and even fighting for power. How can such a country become a beacon for the Chinese people?

◆美国《大西洋月刊》7月25日刊登美国布鲁金斯学会高级研究员托马斯·莱特题为《蓬佩奥有关中国的超现实演讲》的文章称，蓬佩奥说美国将组织“自由世界”，却在疏远并从根本上破坏“自由世界”；蓬佩奥鼓吹民主，却在(美国)国内支持并煽动破坏民主；蓬佩奥赞扬中国人民，却一概而论地称希望赴美(留学)的中国学生普遍心怀叵测。美国的亚洲和欧洲盟友对一场全面的美中冷战感到恐惧，蓬佩奥言辞激烈的长篇大论将败坏(美国)与中国竞争的名声。

According to Thomas Wright, a senior researcher at the Brookings Institution in the United States, the Atlantic Monthly, published on July 25th, an article entitled “Pompeo’s Overreal Speech on China”, Pompeo said that the United States would organize a “free world” while alienating and fundamentally destroying the “free world”; that Pompeyo advocated democracy while supporting and inciting the destruction of democracy within (the United States); and that Pompeyo praised the Chinese people, but generally called Chinese students who wanted to go to the United States (relatives). The Asian and European allies of the United States were afraid of a comprehensive mid-American Cold War, and were admiring that the lengthy rhetoric of the United States would spoil the reputation of competing with China.

4.蓬佩奥：中国渴望建立全球霸权，威胁国际条约，将国际条约作为主导世界的工具。

4. Pompeyo: China aspires to establish global hegemony, threatens international treaties and uses them as a tool to dominate the world.

错!

Wrong!

◆无论是《中国共产党章程》还是《中华人民共和国宪法》，都明确表明中国坚持和平发展道路、反对霸权主义之志。中国无论发展到什么程度，永远不称霸，永远不搞扩张。中国是这么说的，也是这么做的。新中国成立70年来，中国从未主动挑起过一场战争，从未侵占过别人的一寸土地。相比之下，美国从未作出过像中国这样的政策宣示。美国前总统吉米·卡特在2019年的一次演讲中指出，美国在建国后的240多年历史中仅有16年没有打仗，堪称“世界历史上最好战的国家”。

The Chinese Communist Party’s Constitution and the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China clearly demonstrate China’s commitment to the path of peaceful development and its opposition to hegemonicism. China, however developed, has never been too dominant to expand.

◆中国坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系，坚定维护以国际法为基础的国际秩序，包括维护在联合国框架内签署的一系列国际公约。中国积极倡导合作共赢的新型国际关系，全面发展同各国友好合作，建立起覆盖全球的伙伴关系网络。中国秉持人类命运共同体理念，倡导公平正义的国际秩序观、共商共建共享的全球合作观、弘义融利的正确义利观，始终做国际关系准则的捍卫者、多边体系的维护者、国际秩序的稳定锚。联合国秘书长古特雷斯表示，中国已成为多边主义的重要支柱，而我们践行多边主义的目的，就是要建立人类命运共同体。

China firmly upholds the international system, with the United Nations at its core, and the international order based on international law, including a series of international conventions signed within the framework of the United Nations. China actively advocates a new form of cooperation and win-win international relations, comprehensively develops friendly cooperation with all countries, and establishes a global network of partnerships.

◆中国是第一个在《联合国宪章》上签字的创始会员国，坚定捍卫《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则，坚持契约精神和国际法治，有诺必践，有章必循，有约必守，反对未经授权使用武力、毁约“退群”等有损国际法权威性和严肃性的行为。此外，中国是联合国第二大会费国和维和摊款国，积极履行作为发展中国家对联合国应尽的财政义务。

China was the first founding member to sign the Charter of the United Nations, firmly upholding the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, adhering to the spirit of the contract and the rule of law at the international level, adhering to the imperatives, rules and commitments, and opposing acts such as the unauthorized use of force and the “retardance” of the treaty, which undermine the authority and seriousness of international law. Moreover, China is the second-largest State of the United Nations General Assembly and a contributor to peacekeeping operations, actively fulfilling its financial obligations to the United Nations as a developing country.

◆中国签署或加入《不扩散核武器条约》等20个多边军控、裁军和防扩散条约，积极参与国际军控、裁军和防扩散进程，反对军备竞赛，维护全球战略平衡与稳定。改革开放以来，中国主动裁减军队员额400余万。

China has signed or acceded to 20 multilateral arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation treaties, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, actively participated in the international arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation process, opposed the arms race, and maintained global strategic balance and stability. Since reform and opening up, China has taken the initiative to reduce more than 4 million military posts.

◆中国全面履行《联合国气候变化框架公约》和《巴黎协定》义务，致力于构建公平合理、合作共赢的全球气候治理体系。中国2018年二氧化碳排放比2005年累计下降45.8%，提前两年实现2020年减排目标，非化石能源占能源消费总量比重达到14.3%。中国可再生能源投资、装机、发电和消费居于世界领先地位，新能源汽车保有量占世界一半以上。2000年以来，全球新增绿化面积约四分之一来自中国。

In full compliance with its obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, China is committed to a fair, cooperative and win-win global climate governance system. In 2018, China recorded a 45.8% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to 2005 cumulatively, achieving its 2020 reduction target two years ahead of schedule, with non-fossil energy sources accounting for 14.3% of total energy consumption.

◆美国惯于借维护国际法之名，行谋取一己私利之实，对国际法合则用、不合则弃。美国已经退出了十多项国际条约和国际组织，严重损害了国际公平正义和全球和平、稳定、发展。

In the name of upholding international law, the United States is accustomed to pursuing its own self-interests, applying it in a manner that is inconsistent with international law. The United States has withdrawn from more than a dozen international treaties and international organizations, seriously undermining international justice and global peace, stability, and development.

In 2017, the United States announced its withdrawal from the United Nations Global Migration Agreement because of the so-called “United States immigration policy must always be decided by the Americans and only by the Americans”.

2018年，在国际原子能机构(IAEA)证实伊朗履行了在伊核问题全面协议中作出的承诺且美国没有任何证据表明伊朗违反协议的情况下，美国坚持宣布退出经联合国安理会核可的全面协议，对伊朗实施单边制裁，并通过所谓“长臂管辖”极力阻挠其他国家履行协议。

In 2018, while the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran had fulfilled its commitments under the comprehensive agreement on Iran's nuclear issue and that the United States had no evidence that Iran had violated the agreement, the United States insisted on withdrawing from the comprehensive agreement approved by the Security Council of the United Nations, imposing unilateral sanctions on Iran and, through the so-called “long-armed jurisdiction”, strongly blocking the implementation of the agreement by other States.

2018年，因所谓联合国人权理事会“无法有效保护人权”等，美国宣布退出联合国人权理事会。

2020年，美国政府为本国抗疫不力寻找“替罪羊”，宣布退出世界卫生组织。需要指出的是，美国目前仍拖欠超过2亿美元的会费，需在退出正式生效之前缴清。

In 2020, the U.S. government announced its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) in search of a “scapegoat” for its own incompetence. It should be noted that the US is still in arrears of over $200 million and will have to pay before the withdrawal takes effect.

◆一段时间以来，美国政府还曾多次威胁退出包括美韩自贸协定、世界贸易组织、北约甚至是联合国等在内的一系列国际组织和条约。随意“退群”毁约，既违反契约精神，也违背国际道义。遵守规则必须是公平的、双向的，不能采取“实用主义”“双重标准”，只要求别人，不要求自己。

For some time now, the US government has also threatened to withdraw from a range of international organizations and treaties, including the US-Korean Trade Agreement, the World Trade Organization, NATO, and even the United Nations. Disruption by random “retrends” violates both the spirit of the contract and international morality.

◆美国皮尤研究中心2019年2月一项国际民调显示，有45%的受访者认为美国才是这个世界的重大威胁，在包括德国、日本和韩国在内的10个国家，大约一半或更多的受访者认为美国力量和影响力对他们的国家构成重大威胁。近期一些美国媒体和美国专家学者公开表示，在地缘政治上对美国构成最大威胁的不是别人，恰恰是美国自己。

According to an international poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in the United States in February 2019, 45% of respondents believe that the United States is the world’s major threat, and in 10 countries, including Germany, Japan, and South Korea, about half or more of respondents believe that American power and influence pose a major threat to their country. Recently, some American media and American academics have publicly stated that it is not the other, but the United States itself, that poses the greatest geopolitical threat to the United States.

5.蓬佩奥：中国破坏自由世界建立的基于规则的秩序，中国共产党的行动是自由世界最大的挑战，自由世界必须战胜新的暴政。自由国家需要成立新的民主联盟应对中共，选择美国的国家不是在美中之间作出选择，而是在自由和暴政之间作出选择。

5. Pompeyo: China undermines the rule-based order established in the free world, where the actions of the Communist Party of China are the greatest challenge. The free world must overcome the new tyranny. Free nations need to form a new democratic coalition to deal with the Communist Party. The choice of America is not between the United States and China, but between freedom and tyranny.

错!

Wrong!

◆随意给他国贴上“自由”或“暴政”的标签是毫无根据的、荒谬的傲慢与偏见。20世纪的旧偏见无法解决21世纪的新问题。当今世界的主题是和平与发展，国家不分大小、强弱、贫富，都有权自主选择社会制度和发展道路。维护世界的和平与稳定，实现彼此合作的互利共赢理应成为世界各国人民的共同选择。挑动意识形态对立是蓄意在把世界引向一场新的冷战，是麦卡锡主义死灰复燃，有违历史潮流。

The old prejudices of the twentieth century cannot solve the new problems of the twenty-first century. The theme of today's world is peace and development, and nations, large and small, strong and weak, rich and poor, have the right to choose their own social system and path to development.

◆新加坡总理李显龙近日在《外交》杂志刊文表示，包括新加坡在内的东南亚国家对美中两国紧张关系感到担忧，不希望被迫在美中之间作出选择。区域安排必须是开放和包容的，不应有意无意地把任何一方拒之门外，破坏现有的合作安排，制造对立集团，或迫使各国选边站。大国竞争在所难免，但合作能力才是对治国之道的真正考验。

Singapore’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, recently stated in Foreign Affairs magazine that South-East Asian countries, including Singapore, are concerned about the tensions between the US and China, and do not want to be forced to choose between the US and China. Regional arrangements must be open and inclusive, and should not deliberately and unintentionally exclude either side, undermine existing cooperative arrangements, create rival groups, or force countries to choose sides.

◆新加坡国立大学教授、前驻联合国大使马凯硕表示，中国通过加入1945年建立的基于规则的国际秩序重新获得了发展。中国无意推翻这一秩序，愿同美国合作。总之，一个繁荣的中国可以与一个繁荣的美国和平共处，但这在当前美国恶劣的政治环境下似乎难以想象。

China has no intention of overthrowing the rule-based international order established in 1945 and is willing to cooperate with the US. In short, a prosperous China can coexist peacefully with a prosperous America, which seems inconceivable in the current harsh political environment in the US.

◆7月25日，一场由多国学者和活动人士自发组织的题为“拒绝新冷战”的在线视频研讨会在多个平台上同步直播。活动发起人、英国学者罗思义表示，这不是一份“亲华”声明，美国挑起的“新冷战”完全违背全人类的利益，是全人类共同威胁，反映了当前美国政府将自身政策强加于全世界并强迫其他国家服从的企图。

On July 25, an online video seminar entitled “Refusal of the New Cold War,” organized by multinational scholars and activists, was broadcast simultaneously on several platforms. The event’s initiator, the British scholar Rothy, stated that this was not a “friendly” statement, and that the “new cold war” initiated by the United States was totally contrary to the interests of all humanity and a common threat to all humanity, reflecting the current attempts of the United States Administration to impose its own policies on the world and to force others to obey.

◆美国政府连续“退群”毁约，到处挥舞制裁大棒，无视国际义务和国际准则，已经成为国际秩序最大破坏者和当今世界最大不稳定因素。西方许多战略界人士指出，美国认为自己代表“自由世界”的想法是荒谬的，靠意识形态打造遏华联盟是站在历史错误的一边。

The US government’s successive “retrenchment” has broken its promise, waved its sanctions stick, ignored its international obligations and international norms, and has become the biggest spoiler of the international order and the greatest destabilizing factor in the world today. Many strategic Westerners have pointed out that America’s idea of representing the “free world” is absurd, and that the creation of a coalition of China by ideology is on the wrong side of history.

◆美国打着“自由”的旗号多次策动政变支持外国军政府上台，多次发动“颜色革命”把其他国家搞乱。根据美国波士顿学院政治学助理教授林赛·奥罗克所著《隐蔽政权变化：美国的秘密冷战》，美国在1947年至1989年之间总共实施了64次颠覆他国政权的行动。菲律宾《马尼拉时报》2019年9月报道，过去10年内，美国入侵了20多个国家或策动了有关国家政权更迭。直到今天，利比亚、叙利亚等国人民仍然深受战乱动荡之苦，实现免于恐惧、免于匮乏的自由遥遥无期。美国鼓吹“自由”的真实目的，国际社会看得越来越清楚。

According to Lindsay Oroke, an assistant professor of political science at Boston College, Invisible Regime Change: America’s Secret Cold War, the US carried out a total of 64 subversive actions between 1947 and 1989. The Philippines’ Manila Times reported in September 2019 that over the past 10 years the US had invaded more than 20 countries or instigated regime changes.

◆美国《外交政策》双月刊网站7月23日刊登美国哈佛大学国际关系学教授斯蒂芬·沃尔特的题为《如何毁掉一个超级大国》的文章指出，美国在单极时代采纳了自由霸权大战略，寻求广泛传播民主、市场和其他自由价值观，企图将整个世界带入美国设计和领导的“自由秩序”，是美国犯下的几个大错误之一。

The article entitled " How to Destroy a Super Power ", published by Stephen Walter, Professor of International Relations at Harvard University, United States, on the bimonthly United States Foreign Policy website on 23 July, states that the United States adopted a broad strategy of free hegemony in the unipolar era, seeking to disseminate widely the values of democracy, markets and other freedoms in an attempt to bring the entire world into the “free order” designed and led by the United States, which was one of the major mistakes made by the United States.

◆新加坡国立大学东亚研究所所长郑永年在《联合早报》发表文章称，把各国政治制度简单地二分为“民主”与“专制/举国体制”，就必然走向政治化和意识形态化，导致双重标准，看不到事物的真相。美国和西方“民主国家”摆出了一副要和中国进行一场“民主政权保卫战”的样子，好像西方民主的威胁来自中国，这其实是大错特错了。西方民主本身的危机只能来自自身内部，而非外在的挑战。

The US and Western “democratic states” presented a “war on democratic regimes” with China, as if the threat of Western democracy came from China, which is a big mistake. Western democracy’s own crisis can only come from within itself, not from outside.

◆7月25日，48个国家的专家学者召开会议并发表共同声明，指出美国政府针对中国的言行越来越激进，这对世界和平构成威胁，任何形式的“新冷战”都将完全违背人类的利益，支持中美在相互对话的基础上建立关系，并致力于人类团结。

On 25 July, expert scholars from 48 countries met and issued a joint statement stating that the increasingly aggressive statements and actions of the Government of the United States against China posed a threat to world peace and that any form of “new cold war” would be totally contrary to the interests of humanity, and that China and the United States would support the establishment of relations based on mutual dialogue and commitment to human solidarity.

6.蓬佩奥：尼克松总统说：“直到中国有所改变，全球才能安全。”多年来美国与中国打交道的做法并没有给中国带来尼克松总统希望引发的改变，与中国盲目接触的旧策略已经失败，美国必须促使中国改变。

President Pompeo Nixon said: “The world will be safe until China changes.” For years, the United States approach to China has not brought about the changes that President Nixon hopes to bring about. The old strategy of blind contact with China has failed, and the United States must push China to change.

错!

Wrong!

◆美国与中国并非“盲目接触”，而是经过深思熟虑、符合美国国家利益。尼克松总统之所以推动中美关系正常化，其目的不是要改变中国，而是为了中美两国的共同利益。尼克松总统1972年首次访华期间，对中国领导人坦言他“是为美国利益而来”。他还在人民大会堂发表祝酒词说：“我们开始会谈时就承认我们之间有巨大的分歧，但是我们决心不让这些分歧阻碍我们和平相处。你们深信你们的制度，我们同样深信我们的制度。”

It is not “blind contact” between the United States and China, but it is carefully thought out and in the interests of the United States. The purpose of President Nixon's efforts to normalize relations between the United States and China is not to change China, but to serve the common interests of both countries. During his first visit to China in 1972, President Nixon told the Chinese leadership that he was “in the interest of the United States.” He also said in his toast to the People's Hall: “When we started our talks, we recognized that there are huge differences between us, but we are determined not to prevent them from impeding our peaceful coexistence. You have faith in your system, and we are equally convinced of our system.”

◆所谓“美国对华接触政策失败”的论调重拾冷战思维，完全否定了中美交往几十年来取得的成果，不仅是对历史进程的无知，也是对中美两国人民的不尊重。这种散布“政治病毒”的做法理所当然会受到美国国内以及国际社会的质疑和批评。

The so-called “failure of US engagement with China” reminiscent of cold war thinking completely negates the achievements of decades of US-China engagement, not only ignorance of the historical process, but also disrespect for the peoples of China and the United States. Such dissemination of the “political virus” would certainly be questioned and criticized by the United States, both within the country and by the international community.

◆中美作为世界上两个大国，40多年来总体相安无事，没有兵戎相见，没有尖锐对抗，反而是不断克服困难、不断向前发展，这本身就是中美接触的最大成果。中美关系事关两国人民福祉，也关乎世界的和平、稳定、繁荣。

As two of the world’s major powers, China and the United States have been at peace for more than 40 years, without war, without sharp confrontation, and without constant overcoming of difficulties and moving forward, which is in itself the greatest result of US-China contacts. Relations between China and the United States are about the well-being of their peoples, and about the peace, stability, and prosperity of the world.

◆美国前资深外交官、尼克松总统访华时的中文翻译傅立民表示，改变中国政治制度从来都不是接触政策的意图，蓬佩奥断言美对华接触政策失败，完全是对历史和现实的歪曲。

The Chinese translator of President Nixon, a former senior United States diplomat, said that changing China's political system was never the intention of contact policy, and Pompeyo asserted that the failure of US-China engagement was a complete distortion of history and reality.

◆美国对外关系委员会会长哈斯表示，蓬佩奥正试图让美国走上一条注定失败的道路。美国没有能力决定中国的未来，更不用说改变中国。所有涉及中国的事情，都应由中国人民和他们的领导人来决定。

The President of the US Foreign Relations Committee, Haas, said that Pompeyo was trying to set the US on a path that was doomed to failure. The US was incapable of determining China’s future, let alone changing China.

◆美国智库“国家利益中心”资深研究员希尔指出，蓬佩奥声称美方50多年的对华接触一无所获，但事实上该战略取得巨大成功。美对苏冷战取得成功一定程度上得益于美中战略合作。中国改革开放极大促进了美中两国经济文化联系，中国向美出口廉价商品的同时成为美农民和制造商的出口市场，中国逐渐接受多边主义并成为负责任的防扩散国家，中国社会也呈现巨大进步和开放。

China’s reform and opening up has greatly contributed to the US-China economic and cultural ties, China’s export of cheap goods to the US-China as an export market for American farmers and manufacturers, China’s gradual acceptance of multilateralism and its emergence as a responsible non-proliferation state, and China’s society’s great progress and openness.

◆新加坡国立大学教授、前驻联合国大使马凯硕表示，未来的历史学家或许会惊讶，一个不足250年建国史的国家居然相信自己可以改变一个拥有4000年政治文明的大国。这种认为全世界都会走上西式发展道路的想法本身就是极其傲慢的；中国和美国有根本不同：美国认为，它有世界上最好的社会，其他国家只要照搬它就能变得更好。但我们在过去一些年里看到，让一个社会转型是多么难。当美国把所谓民主输往伊拉克后，那里以灾难结束。中国人有不同的立场，简单来说就是：只有我们中国人能成为中国人；你们选出对你们好的制度，我们选择我们自己的。中国现在变得更强大，当然也更有执行力。这就是现实。

The idea that the world would all embark on the Western path of development is in itself extremely arrogant; China and the United States are fundamentally different: the United States believe that it has the best society in the world, and that other countries can do better by copying it. But we have seen in the last few years how difficult it is to transform a society.

7.蓬佩奥：美国无法再漠视美中之间政治与意识形态的根本差异，正如同中国共产党从未忽略过此差异。我们必须采取更有创造性、更果敢的方式推动中国共产党改变行为。

7. Pompeyo: The United States can no longer ignore the fundamental political and ideological differences between China and the United States, just as the Chinese Communist Party has never ignored them. We must be more creative and bold in pushing the Chinese Communist Party to change its behaviour.

错!

Wrong!

◆每个国家所走的道路，都基于各自文化传统和历史积淀。任何势力都没有资格去否定其他国家选择的道路，任何国家也都不会按照别人的好恶来改造自己的制度。中国反复强调，中国无意挑战或取代美国，无意与美国全面对抗，无意同美国进行制度竞争和意识形态对抗，中国从不输出意识形态，从不干涉别国内政，也从不谋求改变美国的制度。美国现政府却不敢作出像中国这样的坦荡宣示。

China has repeatedly stressed that China has no intention of challenging or replacing the US, no intention of full-scale competition and ideological confrontation with the US, never of exporting ideology, never of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and never of seeking to change America’s system. The current US government is afraid to make such blatant declarations as China’s.

◆中美两国历史文化、社会制度、发展道路、现实国情不同，存在分歧和摩擦在所难免，关键是如何正确认识、稳妥处理。新中国成立之初，美国奉行对华遏制政策，两国在朝鲜半岛甚至兵戎相见，随后陷入22年的对抗。上世纪70年代，基辛格博士秘密访华，尼克松总统和毛泽东主席、周恩来总理打开中美重新交往的大门，开启了两国和平共处、共谋繁荣之路。这段曲折历程充分说明，对抗冲突不符合中美双方各自的利益，对话合作才是正确的交往之道。为了两国和世界，中美双方不应寻求改造对方，而应共同探索不同制度和文明和平共存之道。

In the early 1970’s, Dr. Kissinger visited China in secret, President Nixon and President Mao Zedong, and Prime Minister Zhou Enlai opened the door to a re-engagement between the two countries, opening the path to peaceful coexistence and shared prosperity. This twist shows that confrontation is not in the interests of the two sides, and that dialogue and cooperation is the right way to interact.

◆1972年中美关系正常化时，中美两国领导人之所以能够实现跨越太平洋的握手，最根本的一条就是双方都坚持了相互尊重、求同存异的原则，搁置了彼此意识形态的差异。

• The normalization of relations between the United States and the United States in 1972 made it possible for the leaders of China and the United States to achieve a handshake across the Pacific Ocean, one of the most fundamental of which was the adherence of both sides to the principles of mutual respect and unity of opinion and the setting aside of ideological differences between them.

◆1972年2月28日发表的《中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国联合公报》(“上海公报”)指出：“中美两国的社会制度和对外政策有着本质的区别。但是，双方同意，各国不论社会制度如何，都应根据尊重各国主权和领土完整、不侵犯别国、不干涉别国内政、平等互利、和平共处的原则来处理国与国之间的关系。”“上海公报”明确承认中美社会制度有着本质的区别，但这并没有影响中美建立和发展两国关系。

• The Joint Communiqué of the People's Republic of China and the United States of America, issued on 28 February 1972 (the “Shanghai Communiqué”), states that “there is a fundamental difference between the social system and the foreign policy of China and the United States. However, the two sides agree that States, regardless of their social system, should deal with relations between States in accordance with the principles of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, non-aggression against other States, non-interference in their internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.” The “Shanghai Communiqué” explicitly recognizes that there is a fundamental difference between the social system of China and the United States, but this does not affect the establishment and development of relations between China and the United States.

◆1982年8月17日发表的《中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国联合公报》(“八·一七”公报)指出：“互相尊重主权和领土完整、互不干涉内政是指导中美关系的根本原则。美国政府非常重视它与中国的关系，并重申，它无意侵犯中国的主权和领土完整，无意干涉中国的内政。中美关系的发展不仅符合两国人民的利益，而且也有利于世界和平与稳定。”

• The Joint Communiqué of the People's Republic of China and the United States of America, issued on 17 August 1982 (Official Communiqué VIII-VII), states: “Respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in each other's internal affairs are fundamental principles governing relations between China and the United States. The United States Government attaches great importance to its relations with China and reaffirms that it has no intention of violating China's sovereignty and territorial integrity or of interfering in China's internal affairs. The development of such relations is in the interest not only of the peoples of the two countries, but also of world peace and stability.”

◆2009年11月17日，中美两国在北京发表《中美联合声明》，强调各国及各国人民都有权选择自身发展道路。各国应相互尊重对方对于发展模式的选择。美方重申，美方欢迎一个强大、繁荣、成功、在国际事务中发挥更大作用的中国。

• On 17 November 2009, in Beijing, China and the United States issued the China-US Joint Declaration, which emphasized the right of all countries and peoples to choose their own path of development. Countries should respect each other’s choices about the development model. The United States reaffirms that the United States welcomes a strong, prosperous, successful China that plays a greater role in international affairs.

◆2011年1月19日，中美两国在华盛顿发表《中美联合声明》，强调各国及各国人民都有权选择自身发展道路，各国应相互尊重彼此选择的发展模式。

• On 19 January 2011, in Washington, D.C., China and the United States issued the Joint Declaration of China and the United States, which emphasized the right of all countries and peoples to choose their own path of development and the need for States to respect each other's chosen model of development.

◆2017年11月8日至10日，美国总统特朗普对中国进行国事访问。双方同意在互利互惠的基础上拓展广泛领域合作，在相互尊重的基础上管控好分歧，加强两国人民间的相互了解和友谊，合作应对重大国际、地区问题和全球性挑战。

From 8 to 10 November 2017, the President of the United States of America, Trump, paid a State visit to China. The two sides agreed to expand cooperation in a wide range of fields on the basis of mutual benefit, to manage differences on the basis of mutual respect, to strengthen mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples, and to cooperate in addressing major international, regional and global challenges.

◆中美关系发展的历程告诉世人，双方共同作出的这一重大抉择是完全正确的。建交40多年来，经过几代人的共同努力，中美关系成为世界上相互交融最深、合作领域最广、共同利益最大的双边关系之一。事实证明，对抗冲突不符合中美双方各自的利益，对话合作才是正确的交往之道。

After more than 40 generations of joint efforts, China-United States relations have become one of the world’s most interconnected, wide-ranging, and mutually beneficial bilateral relations. Confronting the conflict has proved to be incompatible with the respective interests of China and the United States, and dialogue and cooperation have been the right way to interact.

8.蓬佩奥：要采取“不信任并要验证”的做法与中国打交道。

Pompeo: Deal with China through a “no trust and no proof” approach.

错!

Wrong!

◆蓬佩奥所谓采取“不信任并要验证”的做法与中国打交道，充满了浓厚的冷战思维和强烈的意识形态偏见以及居高临下、以势压人的霸凌作风，也暴露了对中国的无知。中美两国的确存在互信赤字，根子在于美方一些政客固守冷战思维、意识形态偏见和零和博弈理念，误读误判甚至刻意歪曲中国的战略意图和内外政策。

Pompeyo’s so-called “confident-and-test” approach to dealing with China is replete with cold-war thinking and strong ideological bias, as well as high-handed and oppressive bullying, and reveals ignorance of China. There is indeed a deficit of mutual trust between China and the United States, rooted in the insistence of some US politicians on cold-war thinking, ideological bias, and zero-sum games, and misinterpretation and even deliberate distortion of China’s strategic intentions and internal and external policies.

◆国之相交，以诚信为本、平等相待为前提，以和平、发展和合作共赢为目标。两国关系是双向的，不能只要你对我负责，而我却不一定对你负责；只顾自己的利益和安全，而不顾对方的利益和安全。如果设定中国是“潜在敌人”，最终势必要“制造一个敌人”。中美只有把对方看成合作伙伴，才能避免对抗，成为朋友。

The relationship between the two countries is a two-way one-way one-way one-way one-to-one, based on good faith and equality, and aims at peace, development and cooperation as a win-to-win goal. The relationship between the two countries is one-way, and I am not necessarily accountable to you, but only for my own interests and security, regardless of each other's interests and security. If China is assumed to be a “potential enemy,” it is necessary to “create an enemy.” Only by seeing the other as a partner can the US avoid confrontation and become a friend.

◆中国的对美政策保持着高度稳定性和连续性，愿意与美不冲突不对抗、相互尊重、合作共赢，构建以协调、合作、稳定为基调的中美关系。这需要中美双方相向而行，需要各自尊重国际法和国际规则，需要开展平等的对话协商。

China maintains a high degree of stability and continuity in its policy toward the United States, and is willing to win without confrontation, mutual respect, and cooperation with the United States, and to build Chinese-American relations based on coordination, cooperation, and stability. This requires that China and the United States move toward each other, that they respect international law and international rules, and that they engage in dialogue and consultation on an equal footing.

◆美国不应指望一方面在全世界近乎疯狂地围追堵截中国、毫无底线地造谣污蔑中国、肆无忌惮地干涉中国内政，另一方面又要求中国在双边和全球事务中给予美方理解和支持。中国作为一个独立自主国家，有权利维护自身的主权、安全和发展利益，有权利保卫中国人民艰苦奋斗获得的劳动成果，有权利拒绝任何对中国的霸凌和不公。

• The United States should not expect, on the one hand, to pursue China in an almost insane manner around the world, to brag about it, to interfere in China’s internal affairs, and to demand China’s understanding and support in bilateral and global affairs. As an independent and autonomous country, China has the right to defend its sovereignty, security, and development interests, to defend the labor gains that the Chinese people struggle to achieve, and to reject any bullying or injustice against China.

◆美国政府连续“退群”毁约，到处挥舞制裁大棒，无视国际义务和国际准则，已经成为国际秩序最大破坏者和当今世界最大不稳定因素。美国本届政府退出的国际条约数量已经超过美国以往任何一届政府。最应该被实施“不信任并要验证”的是美国，而不是其他国家。

The US government’s successive “retrenchment” has broken the pact, waved its sanctions stick everywhere, and ignored international obligations and norms. It has become the biggest spoiler of the international order and the greatest destabilizing factor in the world today.

9.蓬佩奥：中国未能信守对世界的承诺，全球疫情死亡人数节节升高。

9. Pompeyo: China has failed to live up to its commitments to the world and the number of deaths due to the global epidemic has increased.

错!

Wrong!

◆中国政府在最短时间内采取了最全面、最严格、最彻底的防控措施，把疫情主要控制在了武汉。统计显示中国输出病例很少，有效切断了病毒传播链。《科学》杂志研究报告评估，上述措施使中国减少了超过70万的感染者。

In the shortest time possible, the Chinese government has taken the most comprehensive, rigorous and thorough preventive measures to control the epidemic, keeping it mainly in Wuhan. Statistics show that China exports very few cases, effectively cutting off the virus transmission chain.

◆2020年1月23日武汉“封城”时，美国公开确诊病例只有1例。2月2日美国对所有中国公民和过去14天到过中国的外国人关闭边境时，美国官方统计确诊病例只有10余例。3月13日，美国宣布国家紧急状态时，美国内公布的确诊病例是1896例。4月8日，中方解除对武汉“封城”措施时，美国内公布的确诊病例达40万。美国内公布的确诊病例从1人到100万人，用了不到100天。目前，美国内公布的确诊病例已经超过了569万，死亡人数高达17万多。

On February 2, when the US closed its borders to all Chinese citizens and foreigners who had travelled to China for the last 14 days, US official statistics confirmed more than 10 cases. On March 13, when the US declared a state of emergency, the number of confirmed cases in the US was 1896. On April 8, when China lifted its measures against Wuhan, the number of confirmed cases in the US was 400,000.

◆新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，中国开展了新中国历史上最大规模的紧急人道主义行动。中国广泛分享防控经验，对外提供医疗防护物资，并积极派遣医疗队伍。截至5月上旬，通过开设疫情防控网上知识中心，公开7版诊疗方案、6版防控方案。设立20亿元人民币抗疫合作专项资金，同160多个国家和国际组织召开120余场视频交流会议。向150多个国家和国际组织提供医疗物资援助，向27个国家派出29支医疗专家组。中欧成立联合专家组，中韩建立联防联控合作机制。向世卫组织提供5000万美元现汇捐助，承诺将新冠疫苗作为全球公共产品，为世界提供700多亿只口罩。积极响应二十国集团“暂缓最贫困国家债务偿付倡议”，同意暂缓77个有关发展中国家今年5月1日至年底到期的债务本息偿付。国际社会普遍赞赏中方支持帮助，认为中方行动体现了患难与共、守望相助的精神，进一步凸显了构建人类命运共同体的重要性。

By early May, China had made public seven versions of the diagnostic and treatment programme and six versions of the prevention and control programme through the opening of an online knowledge centre for the prevention and control of the epidemic. Two billion yuan worth of funds had been earmarked for cooperation in the fight against the disease, and over 120 video exchange meetings had been held with more than 160 countries and international organizations. More than 150 countries and international organizations had been provided with medical assistance, and 29 medical teams had been sent to 27 countries.

◆5月1日，美国疾控中心(CDC)网站发布该中心首席副主任舒沙特及“CDC应对新冠病毒小组”撰写的报告称，美1月21日报告首例确诊病例后，疫情似在2月份得到控制，但随后迅速加剧。持续旅行输入、大规模聚会、病毒传入高危工作场所和人口稠密地区、检测规模有限导致隐性传播、无症状传播等因素促使美疫情在2月至3月加速蔓延。

On May 1, the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) website published reports by its Principal Deputy Director, Shushau, and the “CDC Response to the New Crown Virus” that the epidemic appeared to have been under control in February following the first cases diagnosed in the US report of 21 January, but that it had increased rapidly. Continued travel, large-scale gatherings, transmission of the virus into high-risk workplaces and densely populated areas, limited detection leading to hidden transmissions, and an insymptomatic spread, contributed to the acceleration of the epidemic in the United States between February and March.

◆美国纽约州州长科莫表示，美东北大学研究显示，该州首个新冠病毒毒株并非来自中国。《纽约时报》援引美国专家研究证实，纽约疫情主要传入来源并非亚洲。

According to the Governor of New York State of the United States, Como, research at Northeast America University shows that the country’s first new coronary virus strain is not from China. The New York Times quotes American experts to confirm that the primary source of the outbreak in New York is not Asia.

◆加拿大几个大省疫情统计数据显示，病毒系由美国旅行者传入加拿大。法国巴斯德研究所研究发现，在法国当地传播病毒毒株来源不明。俄罗斯输入病例无一例来自中国。澳大利亚卫生部数据显示，从东北亚输入病例所占比重极小。日本国立传染病研究所表示，3月以后在日本扩散的疫情并非源自中国。

According to statistics from several major Canadian provinces, the virus was transmitted to Canada by American travellers. A study by the Basteur Institute in France found that the source of local transmission of viral strains in France was unknown. No cases were imported from China. Australian Ministry of Health data showed that the proportion of cases imported from North-East Asia was very small.

◆《纽约时报》发表《为什么说美国正在出口新冠病毒》文章指出，美国作为全球新冠肺炎感染病例最多的国家，正持续不断地遣返数以千计的“非法移民”，其中很多是新冠病毒感染者。据报道，4月末，危地马拉政府报告显示，该国将近五分之一的新冠肺炎感染病例与被美国驱逐出境者有关，76名被驱逐者中有71人新冠病毒检测呈阳性。

According to The New York Times, the United States, the country with the largest number of new coronary pneumonia infections worldwide, is continuously repatriating thousands of “illegal immigrants,” many of whom are new coronary virus infections. At the end of April, the Government of Guatemala reported that nearly one fifth of the country’s new coronary pneumonia infections were related to people deported from the United States, and 71 of the 76 deported persons tested positive for the new coronary virus.

10.蓬佩奥：中国武汉的医生如能获准对新冠肺炎疫情示警，全球疫情不会发展到今天的程度。

10. Pompeyo: The global epidemic will not reach its current level if the doctors in Wuhan, China, are allowed to warn against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic.

错!

Wrong!

◆8月3日，医学期刊《柳叶刀》主编理查德·霍顿在英国《卫报》撰文指出，中国医生迅速向政府发出预警，政府随即向全世界发出警告，然而西方国家没有听取这些警告。试图把这次新冠病毒大流行归咎于中国，就是要改写新冠肺炎疫情的历史，掩饰西方国家自身的失败。

On August 3, the editor-in-chief of the medical journal The Lancet, Richard Horton, wrote in The Guardian in the United Kingdom that Chinese doctors had warned the government quickly, and that the government had warned the world, yet Western countries had not heeded them. Attempting to blame China for the new crown virus epidemic was to rewrite the history of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and mask Western countries’ own failures.

◆新冠病毒是一种前所未知的病毒，人们对它的认知需要一个过程，中国作为第一波受到冲击的国家之一，进行的是一场闭卷考，更加需要经过谨慎的科学研究，才能制定有效的防控措施。未经研究就贸然下结论，是对科学和人民的不负责。

The new coronary virus is an unknown virus, and people need a process to recognize it. China, as one of the first countries hit by the first wave, is conducting a closed examination, which is more likely to require careful scientific research in order to develop effective prevention and control measures.

◆中方对疫情的应对公开透明、迅速且有效，不存在任何隐瞒和延误。2019年12月27日，湖北省中西医结合医院呼吸与危重症医学科主任张继先上报了她接诊的可疑病例后，中国迅速采取行动，开展病因学和流行病学调查，阻断疫情蔓延。中国及时对外提供信息，自2020年1月3日起，主动向世界卫生组织以及美国等国家定期通报疫情信息。中国积极开展合作，第一时间同各国分享新冠病毒基因序列，分享疫情防控经验。美国忽略了中国发出的疫情警示，现在却反过来进行政治操弄，无端质疑中国在疫情防控问题上的透明度，这是对中国人民为防控疫情付出巨大努力和牺牲的不尊重。

On 27 December 2019, the Director of the Central and Western Medical Department of Hubei Province Hospital for Respiratory and Critical Diseases reported suspicious cases to her, China took prompt action to investigate causes and epidemiology, and blocked the spread of the epidemic. China provided timely information to the public, offering regular information on the epidemic to the World Health Organization and the United States, among others, since 3 January 2020.

◆新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，中国广大医务人员以维护人民群众生命安全和身体健康为最高使命，义无反顾冲上疫情防控第一线，争分夺秒抢救患者，与病魔进行殊死较量，展开生命大救援，创造一个个医学奇迹。他们的职业操守、专业精神和意志品质受到中国社会各界高度肯定。中国政府出台一系列措施保护关心爱护医务人员，对他们授予一系列嘉奖和荣誉。武汉市金银潭医院院长张定宇和第一个报告疫情病例的湖北省中西医结合医院医生张继先获得记大功奖励。许多医护人员和医疗团体荣获第24届“中国青年五四奖章”“中国青年五四奖章集体”称号，李文亮等8名医护人员被追授有关荣誉。日前，钟南山被授予“共和国勋章”，张伯礼、张定宇、陈薇被授予“人民英雄”国家荣誉称号，以表彰他们在抗击新冠肺炎疫情斗争中所作杰出贡献。

Since the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the Chinese government has put in place a series of measures to protect the care and care of medical personnel, giving them a series of awards and honours. The President of the Jinxian Hospital in Wuhan City, Zhang Dingyu, and the first doctor to report cases of the disease in Hubei province, have been rewarded with a great deal of credit. Many health-care workers and health-care groups have received the title of the 24th China Youth Five Award, the Chinese Youth Four Award Collective, and eight health-care workers such as Li Weng Liang and others have been honoured in the fight against new pneumonia.

◆美国政客将政治凌驾于科学之上，无视自身抗疫不力现实，频频抨击国家过敏症和传染病研究所所长福奇疫情防控建议，福奇近日透露其家人甚至受到反对者的死亡威胁，不得不寻求安全部门的帮助。近日，超过3000名美国卫生专家签署联名公开信，批评白宫刻意败坏福奇的声誉，表示新冠肺炎疫情是美国有史以来面临的最大挑战，但白宫刻意“抹黑”福奇，将他“边缘化”，转移公众的视线，这种做法“十分危险”。《华盛顿邮报》7月20日评论称，在美政府引导下，许多美国人认为科学家和主流媒体夸大了疫情严重程度甚至捏造疫情，对科学专家的抵触成为政治议程的一部分。《纽约时报》援引美方“吹哨人”海伦医生及其团队经历报道称，面对可能是一个世纪以来都未曾见过的大规模突发公共卫生事件，美国并未做出灵活的反应。美国卫生与公众服务部下属生物医学高级研究和发展局前局长里克·布莱特的专业建议遭遇卫生部高官“不友好的对待”，他本人因未按政府指令扩大药物使用范围遭报复性解职。美国疾控中心官网3月初停止更新并删除了新冠病毒检测人数及死亡人数的相关数据。

In recent days, more than 3,000 US health experts have signed an open letter criticizing the White House’s deliberate loss of Fuch’s reputation, stating that the new coronary pneumonia epidemic is the greatest challenge the United States has ever faced, but that the White House’s deliberate “black” Fouchy has “marginized” him and diverted his public attention from public health. The Washington Post, on 20 July, commented that many Americans, led by the US government, believe that scientists and mainstream media have overestimated the magnitude of the epidemic and even fabricated it, are part of the political agenda.

11.蓬佩奥：过去数十年里，中美关系呈现极不平衡态势，中国通过不平等贸易把供应链从美国“吸走”，导致美失去大量就业岗位、经济受挫。

Pompeyo: In the past decades, China has shown a significant imbalance in relations between the United States and China, “drawing off” the supply chain from the United States through unequal trade, which has led to the loss of a large number of jobs and economic setbacks in the United States.

错!

Wrong!

◆在当今全球化时代，各国利益深度交融。全球产业链供应链的形成和发展，是市场规律和企业选择共同作用的结果。中美已互相成为最重要的贸易伙伴和投资对象国，产业链、供应链、服务链深度联接的利益共同体。

The formation and development of global supply chains are the result of a combination of market rules and business choices. The US and China have become one of the most important trading partners and target countries for investment, a community of interests with deep linkages between industrial chains, supply chains, and service chains.

◆中美关系是平等互利、合作共赢的关系。中美关系从一开始就建立在互利共赢基础上，中国并不亏欠美国什么。在中美经贸合作中，中国从美国吸收资金、技术和管理经验，美国则获得了中国的市场，也占据了全球产业链和价值链的高端。两国从彼此合作中都获得了巨大收益。通过优势互补、互利合作，美国经济实现了快速增长，美国家庭大幅降低了生活成本，美国企业更获取了丰厚利润。中国与美国都实现了大发展，实现了相互成就，给两国和两国人民带来实实在在的好处。

In China’s economic and trade cooperation with the US, China absorbs capital, technology, and management experience from the US, while the US acquires the Chinese market and holds the upper end of the global industrial and value chains. Both countries have reaped great benefits from their cooperation.

◆中美经贸合作本质上是互利共赢的。中美互为最大贸易合作伙伴和重要投资来源地。2018年，中美双边贸易额超过6300亿美元，双向投资存量超过2400亿美元。美中贸易全国委员会2019年5月数据显示，2009年至2018年间，中国是美国货物出口增长最快的市场之一，年均增速6.3%，累计增长73.2%，远高于美国对世界其他地区56.9%的平均增幅。截至2018年底，中国企业在美国直接投资金额731.7亿美元，中国在美国投资为促进当地发展、增加就业和税收作出了积极贡献。疫情期间，中国再次成为美国最大贸易伙伴，2020年5月份双边贸易额增至465亿美元，中国持有美国国债超过1.08万亿美元。

In 2018, China and the United States had more than $630 billion in bilateral trade and a two-way investment stock of over $240 billion. According to the May 2019 data, China was one of the fastest growing markets for United States exports of goods between 2009 and 2018, with an average annual increase of 6.3 per cent, a cumulative increase of 73.2 per cent, well above the United States average of 56.9 per cent for the rest of the world. By the end of 2018, China’s direct investment in the United States amounted to $7.317 billion, and China’s investment in the United States made a positive contribution to promoting local development, employment, and tax revenues.

◆美国企业在华投资兴业累计已超过7万家，年销售额达7000亿美元，其中97%都是盈利的。苹果公司全球营收中占比超过10%的单一国家市场只有两个，一个是营收966亿美元的美国本土，另一个就是中国。美国通用汽车2017年在中国市场的销量占其全球销量42%，比美国本土市场还多出100万辆。美国高通公司在中国市场获得的芯片销售和专利许可费收入占其总营收57%。2020年5月中国美国商会调查显示，84%的美国企业不愿撤离中国，38%的美国企业将保持或增加对华投资，中国仍然是美国企业最青睐的市场。

US firms have accumulated more than 70,000 investments in China, with annual sales amounting to $700 billion, 97% of which are profitable. Apple has only two single-country markets with more than 10% of its global revenues, one with $96.6 billion, and the other with China. US General Motors accounted for 42% of its global sales in China in 2017, and more than 1 million more than US domestic markets.

◆中美经贸合作为美国人民带来了实实在在的利益。过去40多年，中美双边货物贸易额增长了250多倍，支持美国内就业岗位约260万个，累计7.25万家美企业在华投资兴业，绝大多数都获益颇丰。美中贸易委员会2019年5月1日发布的《2019年各州对华出口报告》指出，2009年至2018年十年间，美对华出口支撑了超过110万个美国就业岗位。97%的受访美企业表示与中国做生意是盈利的。中国对美投资遍布美46个州，为美国内直接创造就业岗位超过14万个，中美贸易平均每年为每个美国家庭节省850美元成本，相当于美家庭收入的1.5%。根据美旅游协会统计，包括机票和食宿费用在内，每位中国游客平均在一趟赴美行程中要花费7000美元。

According to the China-China Trade Commission's State-to-China Export Report of 1 May 2019, US exports to China supported more than 1.1 million US jobs in the decade 2009-2018. Ninety-seven per cent of the visiting US firms said that doing business with China was profitable. China invested in 46 US states, with more than 140,000 direct jobs in the US, and US-American trade saved US households an average of $850 per year, equivalent to 1.5 per cent of US family income.

◆美国部分社会群体失业问题，主要原因是在技术进步和经济结构调整背景下，美国内经济政策失误和再分配、再就业机制缺失。美中关系全国委员会委员亚瑟·克罗博接受亚洲学会采访时表示，过去几十年美国人就业受到冲击问题在于美方未能根据形势及时调整国内政策。美国智库卡托研究所报告也指出，美国制造业工作机会流失和工人失业同中国进口关联度不大。

In an interview with the Asia Society, Arthur Crobo, a member of the US-China National Committee for Relations, said that the impact on American employment over the past decades had been a failure by the US to adjust domestic policies in a timely manner. The US think tank report also noted that the loss of manufacturing jobs and the unemployment of workers in the US were of little relevance to China’s imports.

◆美国智库卡托研究所发布报告称，美国消费者从中美贸易中获得巨大利益。2004年至2015年，美国通过从中国进口产品使美国消费价格指数年均降低0.19%，有效缓解通货膨胀。中美贸易是帮助而非伤害了美国制造商和工人，据估算，2018年美国人每在“中国制造”产品上花费1美元，就有56美分流向美国企业和员工，并且通过进口中国产品，帮助美国制造业提高了竞争力、投资力度和创新力度。

From 2004 to 2015, the US reduced its consumer price index by an average of 0.19% per year by importing products from China, effectively mitigating inflation. The US-China trade helped rather than hurt US manufacturers and workers.

◆美国单方面挑起对华贸易战，最终损害的是其自身利益。彼得森国际经济研究所评估指出，美国对进口汽车加征关税将导致美国减少19.5万个就业岗位。纽约联邦储备银行估算，2018年美国对华2500亿美元商品加征关税使美国消费者每年多支付528亿美元，平均每个美国家庭每年多支出414美元。近日，160家美国企业向美国会提交要求取消对中国加征关税的联名信中称，由于对华加征关税，2019年美民众为此多支付500亿美元，每个家庭平均多支出1277美元，美上市公司市值缩水1.7万亿美元。

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York estimates that US consumer tariffs on US goods of US$ 250 billion in 2018 resulted in US consumers paying US$ 52.8 billion more annually, with US households spending an average of US$ 414 more annually. In recent days, 160 US firms have submitted to the US a joint letter calling for the elimination of customs duties on China, stating that US people paid US$ 50 billion more in 2019 as a result of US customs duties on China.

◆美国强行让中美经济“脱钩”，切断全球产业链、供应链和价值链，搅乱全球经贸格局，才是对两国乃至全球产业链、供应链安全的最大威胁。美前常务副国务卿斯坦伯格、前助理国务卿戈登认为，特朗普政府忽视了两代美国人从对华贸易中获得的好处，即进口负担得起的消费品、对高端制造业的低成本投入和在服务业、农业方面的出口盈余。特朗普政府发动对华贸易战和“脱钩”严重损害美工人、农民和消费者的利益。据穆迪公司统计，对华贸易战让美国失去约30万个就业岗位，平均每户家庭因价格上涨损失约600美元。

According to former US Under-Secretary of State Stanberg, former Assistant Secretary of State Gordon, the Trump administration ignored the benefits of two generations of American trade in China, namely the import of affordable consumer goods, low-cost inputs to high-end manufacturing, and export surpluses in services and agriculture. The Trump government’s war on trade and decoupling against China seriously damaged the interests of workers, farmers, and consumers.

12.蓬佩奥：中国窃取美国的知识产权和商业机密。

Pompeo: China steals intellectual property and commercial secrets from the United States.

错!

Wrong!

◆中国是全球创新大国和知识产权大国，一直在不断加大科技创新和知识产权保护力度，创新投入的规模和增速进入世界领先行列，研发经费支出从2006年的3003.1亿元增长到2018年的19677.9亿元，年均增长17%，世界排名从第6位上升至第2位。研发人员数量稳居世界第一。中国受理的发明专利申请量连续9年位居世界第一。近年来，中国的《专利合作条约》国际专利申请量发展也很快，已经跃居全球第二位。世界知识产权组织发布的年度报告指出，中国已成为世界知识产权发展的主要推动力。

As a major global innovator and intellectual property, China has been increasing its efforts to protect science, technology, innovation, and intellectual property rights. The scale and pace of investment in innovation have been among the world’s leaders. Expenditure on research and development has grown from 30.31 billion yuan in 2006 to 1967.790 billion yuan in 2018, an annual average of 17 per cent, with the world ranking rising from 6th to 2.

◆近年来，中国持续采取有力措施，出台了多项加强知识产权的政策举措，加大知识产权执法和保护力度，取得显著成效。修订《中华人民共和国商标法》的决定，大幅提高了侵权违法成本；发布《关于加强知识产权审判领域改革创新若干问题的意见》和《关于强化知识产权保护的意见》，强调要着眼于统筹推进知识产权保护，提升保护整体水平。中国已经加入了几乎所有主要的知识产权国际条约。2019年知识产权保护社会满意度达到78.98分。欧盟商会发布的2019年度《商业信心调查》报告显示，受访的585家在华欧盟企业，约六成认为中国知识产权行政与司法保护力度明显加强。美国商会2019年3月发布的国际知识产权指数报告专门指出，中国在网络销售环境改善、药品专利执法等方面的成绩尤其突出。世界银行发布《2020年全球营商环境报告》称，中国营商环境全球排名升至第31位，连续两年被评选为全球营商环境改善幅度最大的10个经济体之一。

In recent years, China has continued to take vigorous measures to strengthen its intellectual property rights (IPRs) policy initiatives, and to increase its enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs). The decision to amend the Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China has significantly increased the costs of violating the law; the publication of the Opinions on Certain Issues of Reform and Innovation in the Field of Intellectual Property Justice and the Opinions on Enhancing Intellectual Property Protection, which emphasize the need to promote intellectual property protection in an integrated manner and raise the overall level of protection. China has acceded to almost all major international intellectual property treaties. In 2019, social satisfaction with intellectual property protection reached 78.98. According to the report of the EU Chamber of Commerce on the 2019 Business Confidence Survey, about 585 enterprises in China were selected as one of the top 10 economies in the world’s business environment for the second consecutive year.

◆美国国会众议院司法委员会今年7月29日举行反垄断听证会。在被问及“是否相信中国政府从美国公司盗取技术”时，苹果、谷歌、亚马逊首席执行官纷纷表示，未遇到此类案例。

An antimonopoly hearing was held by the Judicial Committee of the United States House of Representatives on 29 July this year. When asked whether the Chinese government was believed to steal technology from American companies, Apple, Google, and Amazon CEOs said that no such cases had been encountered.

◆雅虎新闻网援引美国政府官员消息称，“美国总统特朗普曾下密令授予中央情报局(CIA)更多发动网络攻击的权力”。这项秘密授权使中情局可以更容易地进行秘密网络行动，无须得到白宫批准。自从密令签署以来，中情局已实施了至少12次行动。今年3月3日，中国网络安全公司360发现美国中情局的网络攻击组织“APT—C—39”对中国进行了长达11年的网络攻击渗透。在此期间，中国航空航天、科研机构、石油行业、大型互联网公司及政府机构等多个单位均遭到不同程度的攻击。

Yahoo News Network quoted United States government officials as saying that “US President Trump gave the CIA more power to launch cyberattacks under secret orders.” This secret authorization made it easier for the CIA to operate clandestinely without the need for White House approval. Since the signing of the Secret Order, the CIA has carried out at least 12 operations.

◆美国捏造莫须有的罪名，强行关闭中国驻休斯敦总领馆，旨在推动中美“脱钩”，是其打压中国战略中的重要一环，遭到绝大多数美国理性人士强烈反对。

The forced closure of the Chinese Consulate General in Houston for the purpose of promoting China's “decoupling” is an important part of its strategy to crush China and has been strongly rejected by the vast majority of rational Americans.

◆中国驻休斯敦总领馆是中美建交后中国在美国开设的第一个总领馆。41年来，驻休斯敦总领馆始终致力于促进中美各界相互了解和各领域友好合作。针对美南地区疫情持续蔓延，中国驻休斯敦总领馆分别向休斯敦市和哈里斯郡捐赠口罩，并积极协助上海市、山东省、深圳市分别向休斯敦捐助防疫物资。

For 41 years, the Consulate General of China in Houston has been working to promote mutual understanding and friendly cooperation between the various parts of the United States and the United States. In response to the continued spread of the epidemic in South America, the Consulate General of China in Houston donated masks to Houston and Harris County, respectively, and actively assisted the cities of Shanghai, Shandong Province, and Shenzhen, respectively, in their contributions to Houston.

◆中国驻休斯敦总领馆的人员构成和数量对美方是公开的，把该馆说成是中方间谍和盗窃知识产权的枢纽，有违外交常识，十分荒谬。美国有线电视新闻网、哥伦比亚广播公司、《休斯敦纪事报》、英国广播公司等报道指出，美国关闭中国驻休斯敦总领馆是特朗普在选举前对中国采取的强硬措施，以支撑其不断下降的支持率，中国成为其最易攻击和用来拉抬选情的目标。《纽约时报》质疑有关中国驻休斯敦总领馆有从事“颠覆活动”的历史、是中国盗取美国科研成果的“中心”说法，认为没有任何依据。休斯敦市市长西尔维斯特·特纳表示对美方关闭中国驻休斯敦总领馆感到震惊，希望美中和平解决分歧，重启驻休斯敦总领馆。

According to reports from CNN, the Colombian Broadcasting Corporation, the Houston Chronicle, the BBC, etc., the closure of the Chinese Consulate General in Houston was a tough pre-election measure taken by the United States against China to sustain its declining support rate, and China became its most vulnerable target for attacks and provocations. The New York Times questioned the “centre” of China’s history of “subversive activity” in Houston and China’s theft of United States research results, arguing that it had no basis. The Mayor of Houston, Silvist Turner, expressed shock at the closure of the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, and hoped that China would peacefully resolve its differences.

◆《休斯敦纪事报》报道，中国是休斯敦地区第二大贸易伙伴，该地区从中国驻休斯敦总领馆受益良多，驻休斯敦总领馆已成为休斯敦地区同中国开展旅游、贸易和文化合作的桥梁。

According to the Houston Chronicle, China is the second largest trading partner in the Houston region, benefiting greatly from the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, which has become a bridge for tourism, trade and cultural cooperation between the Houston region and China.

◆美方对中美正常的科学、人文交流合作搞有罪推定，罗织“莫须有”罪名，所作所为与其自我标榜的开放自由等理念和美领导人公开作出的承诺背道而驰，与开展国际人才交流的时代潮流背道而驰，给中美正常人文交流与人员往来带来严重消极影响。

The United States side's criminalization of normal scientific and human exchange cooperation between China and the United States, its “necessary” crimes, its actions run counter to its self-proclaimed concepts of freedom of openness and the stated commitment of its leaders, as well as to the current trend of international exchange of human resources, which has a serious negative impact on normal human exchange and the movement of people between China and the United States.

◆40多年来，中美两国人文交往广泛深入，中美之间每年人员往来达500多万人次。教育科研交流合作更是成果丰硕，双方都从中受益。40多年间，有33万多名美国学生来华学习，中国是最受美国学生欢迎的留学目的国之一。中国也已连续10年成为美国海外留学生第一大生源国，仅2018至2019学年，中国在美国留学生总数就达37万人，占美国国际学生总数的1/3。此外，美国国家科学基金会统计数据显示，中美互为第一大国际合著论文合作对象，相互依赖远超其他国家。

For more than 40 years, China and the United States have had extensive human relations, with more than 5 million people travelling between China and the United States each year. Cooperation in educational and scientific research has been fruitful, benefiting both sides. Over the past 40 years, more than 330,000 American students have been studying in China, one of the most popular countries for American students to study abroad.

◆中美加强科技等领域交流与合作，符合双方共同利益。美国保尔森基金会旗下“马可·波罗”智库6月中旬发布的《全球人工智能人才追踪》报告显示，中国的大学为美国研究机构培养了近三分之一的相关人才。美国在人工智能领域取得全球领先地位与中国的人才供给密不可分。

It is in the mutual interest of both countries to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in areas such as science and technology. A report by the US Paulsen Foundation’s “Marco Polo” think tank, published in mid-June, shows that Chinese universities have trained nearly one-third of the relevant talent for US research institutions.

◆哈佛商学院商业管理学教授威廉·克尔在其著作《全球人才的礼物》中介绍，如今美国超过10%的发明是由华裔科学家创造的。以2018年为例，在美中国留学生达37万，为美国经济贡献了近200亿美元。美国政客对中国留学生和研究人员为美国科技进步所做出的贡献视而不见，无视很多本国学者的反对，一意孤行，损害的正是美国自身的利益。

In 2018, for example, there were 370,000 students studying in China, contributing nearly $20 billion to the US economy. American politicians turned a blind eye to the contribution of Chinese students and researchers to the advancement of American science and technology, ignoring the opposition of many national scholars, and were determined to harm America’s own interests.

◆针对美国土安全部发布通告表示仅上网课的留学生将无法取得赴美签证或维持当前签证，哈佛大学和麻省理工学院已提起诉讼案，认为不对只上网课的国际学生发签证无正当理由、未经公众评议且考虑不周，违反了美国联邦行政程序法。美国各地高校和高等教育团体纷纷加入两校提起的诉讼或自行提起诉讼。许多美国高校和高等教育团体用“最糟糕的政策制定”“残酷和不计后果”“极大的误导”等来形容美国政府出台的留学生签证新规。

In response to a circular issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security to the effect that only Internet-based students will not be able to obtain visas or maintain current ones, Harvard University and MIT have filed a lawsuit alleging a violation of the United States federal administrative procedures law by denying visas to international students in Internet-only classes without justification, public comment and due consideration. Universities and higher education groups across the United States have joined or initiated lawsuits on their own. Many American universities and higher education groups have used “worst policy formulation” as “extremely misleading” to describe the new student visa regulations introduced by the US government.

◆一段时间以来，美方带着意识形态偏见，不断监控、骚扰甚至任意扣押在美中国学生学者，对中国学者进行有罪推定式指控，公然罗织所谓“从事间谍活动”等荒谬罪名。美方做法严重侵害了中国公民的正当合法权益，严重干扰破坏中美之间正常的人文交流，是赤裸裸的政治迫害，不仅违背道义，也在自毁形象。美国麻省理工学院校长拉斐尔·莱夫2019年就在一封致全校的公开信中表示，针对华人“不公平的审查”会“造成一种无根据的怀疑和恐惧的有毒气氛”，对这所世界知名研究型大学和美国造成伤害。

For some time now, the US side, with its ideological bias, has constantly monitored, harassed, and even arbitrarily detained US students and scholars in China, has charged Chinese scholars with a presumption of guilt, and has openly woven such absurd charges as so-called “spiriting.” The US approach has seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens, seriously interfered with the normal human exchange between China and the United States. It is a naked political persecution, not only against morality, but also against self-destructive images. In 2019, the US President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rafael Lev, stated in an open letter to the whole school that an “unfair examination” against Chinese would “create a toxic atmosphere of unfounded suspicion and fear” and harm this world-renowned research university and the US.

◆美方有关言论充分暴露了其意识形态偏见。判断媒体的标准不应是各国政治制度和意识形态，而应是新闻报道本身的客观真实和公平公正。每个国家的国情不同，媒体管理和运作的方式也各不相同，美方不应从自身意识形态出发，用自己的标准评判他国媒体。中国媒体在美机构一向遵守美国法律，恪守新闻职业道德，在美正常地开展新闻报道工作，从不干预美国内政，多年来为增进中国民众对美国的客观了解和友好感情发挥了重要、积极的作用。

The media are judged not by the political system and ideology of each country, but by the objective truth and fairness of the news itself. The media are managed and operated differently from country to country, and the US should not judge the media from its own ideological point of view.

◆近年来，美国政府对中国媒体驻美机构和人员的正常新闻报道活动无端设限，无理刁难，不断升级对中国媒体的歧视和政治打压，限制中国媒体新闻自由。2018年12月，美司法部将中国国际电视台(CGTN)北美分台登记为“外国代理人”。2020年2月18日，美国务院宣布将新华社等5家中国媒体驻美机构作为“外国使团”列管，要求提交工作人员、所拥有不动产等信息。2020年3月2日，美国务院宣布自3月13日起，将作为“外国使团”列管的5家中国媒体驻美中国籍员工数量削减60人，削减比例达40%，变相驱逐中国驻美记者。

• In recent years, the United States Government has set limits on the regular press coverage of Chinese media outlets and personnel in the United States without justification, escalating discrimination and political pressure against Chinese media and restricting freedom of the press in China. In December 2018, the United States Department of Justice registered the North American branch of China International Television (CGTN) as a “foreign agent.” On 18 February 2020, the United States State Council announced that five Chinese media agencies in the United States, such as Xinhua, would serve as “foreign missions” and requested the submission of information such as staff and real estate holdings. On 2 March 2020, the United States State Council announced a reduction of 60, or 40 per cent, in the number of Chinese media employees in the United States as “foreign missions” and the expulsion of Chinese journalists in the United States.

◆长时间以来，美方在签证等方面对中国媒体记者采取歧视性限制措施，对所有中方记者只发一次入境签证，记者回国或赴第三国后，需重新申请签证，其中9名常驻记者离美后无法再次入境。而美方给予其他国家和地区记者多次入境签证。中方记者在申请赴美签证时被要求提供大量额外材料，美方常以行政审查为由延长签证审批时间、无限期拖延甚至拒签，2018年以来共有20余名中国媒体记者遭到美方无限期拖延甚至拒签。部分中国媒体记者自去年12月中旬申请赴美签证，至今未得到美方任何反馈，护照也未退还。今年5月，美方将中国驻美记者包括常驻联合国记者签证停留期缩短为90天，这意味着每90天就要申请一次签证延期，如果延期申请得不到批准，记者将被迫离开美国，严重干扰中国媒体在美开展正常报道活动。

For a long time, the United States has imposed discriminatory restrictions on Chinese media journalists, including on visas, and has issued only one entry visa to all Chinese journalists, and has had to re-apply a visa after their return to the United States or to a third country. Nine of these permanent journalists have been unable to re-enter the country after leaving the United States.

◆目前在华常驻外国记者约有500人。中方一直积极为外国驻华记者生活和工作提供便利和协助。外国记者申请常驻记者证延期，通常都会在10个工作日内完成。长期以来，美国驻华记者凭其有效证件可以多次往返中国，无需申请新的签证。2019年一年，美国在华常驻记者出入中国超过700次。中方始终欢迎各国媒体和记者依法依规在中国从事采访报道工作，并将继续提供便利和协助。

China has been active in facilitating and facilitating the lives and work of foreign journalists in China. Foreign journalists apply for extensions of their accreditation, usually within 10 working days. For a long time, United States journalists in China have been able to travel to and from China without having to apply for a new visa on the basis of their valid documents.

◆截至2020年7月，共有28家美国媒体在中国内地常驻，在北上广深共设机构34个，其中有美籍记者29名，非美籍记者34名，雇员135名。此外还有20多家美国媒体在香港运营，有400多名工作人员。美国记者可以自由来去外交部记者会，不受限制地提问。近年来，一些美国媒体歪曲事实，炮制了诸多假新闻，对新疆和香港事务指手画脚，不遗余力抹黑攻击中国，甚至攻击中国政治制度。中方反对针对中国的意识形态偏见，反对借所谓新闻自由炮制假新闻，反对违反新闻职业道德的行为。

As of July 2020, there were 28 United States media based in China and China, with 34 institutions located in the north, including 29 American journalists, 34 non-American journalists, and 135 employees. There were more than 20 American media operating in Hong Kong, with more than 400 staff members. American journalists were free to come to the Foreign Ministry press conference, asking open questions.

◆中国国家统计局发布的第四次全国经济普查报告显示，截至2018年末，中国共有私营企业1561.4万个，国有控股企业24.2万个。私营企业数量比2013年末增长178.6%，占全部企业法人单位的比重由68.3%提高到84.1%。国有控股企业数量仅占全部企业的1.3%。

According to the report of the Fourth National Economic Survey issued by the National Statistical Office of China, by the end of 2018 there were 1,614,000 private enterprises and 242,000 State-owned enterprises. The number of private enterprises increased by 178.6 per cent from the end of 2013, and the share of corporate entities in all enterprises increased from 68.3 per cent to 84.1 per cent.

◆创造财富、追求利润是企业的天然基因，也是其最重要的职能。中国国家统计局发布的数据显示，2019年中国规模以上工业企业中，国有控股企业实现利润总额16355.5亿元；股份制企业实现利润总额45283.9亿元；外商及港澳台商投资企业实现利润总额15580.0亿元；私营企业实现利润总额18181.9亿元。

According to data published by China’s National Statistical Office, in 2019, State-owned enterprises achieved a total profit of $163,555 million in industrial enterprises of more than China’s size; joint-stock enterprises achieved a total profit of $45,28,390 million; foreign and commercial investors achieved a total profit of $15,580.0 billion; and private enterprises realized a total profit of $18,189 billion.

◆在中国整个经济体系中，民营经济贡献了50%以上的税收、60%以上的国内生产总值、70%以上的技术创新成果、80%以上的城镇劳动就业和90%以上的企业数量。

In China's entire economic system, the private economy contributes more than 50 per cent of taxes, more than 60 per cent of GDP, more than 70 per cent of technological innovations, more than 80 per cent of urban employment and more than 90 per cent of enterprises.

◆华为是一家优秀的民营企业，是一家100%由员工持有的民营企业。中国政府不持有华为的股份，华为通过工会实行员工持股计划，参与人数为104572人，参与人仅为公司员工，没有任何政府部门、机构持有华为股权。

The Chinese government does not hold a 100% share in a private business. The Chinese government, through a trade union, has a stock-holding scheme for its employees, with 1,04572 participants, who are only employees of the company, and no government department or agency holds a share in the company.

◆30多年间，华为从一家小微企业成长为世界最大的通信设备供应商之一，以优质服务造福全球170多个国家、30多亿人口，获得各国民众高度评价，也为世界通信行业提供巨大商机，赢得了良好的国际信誉。华为每年在全球采购量近800亿美元，覆盖13000家供应商，140多个国家。其中在美国的采购量就接近190亿美元。

Over the past 30 years, China has been one of the world’s largest suppliers of communications equipment from a small and micro-enterprise, benefiting more than 170 countries and 3 billion people worldwide with high-quality services, highly valued by its citizens, and a great business opportunity for the world’s telecommunications industry. It has won good international credit for nearly $80 billion a year in global procurement, covering more than 13,000 suppliers, and more than 140 countries.

◆华为无论在世界哪个国家都严格遵守当地法律。华为早就公开表示，愿同所有国家签署“无后门、不监听”协议，也愿在任何国家建立网络安全评估中心，接受外方检测。这足以证明华为的清白和透明。迄今为止，没有任何一个国家、任何一个公司和任何一个人能够拿出确凿证据证明华为对他们构成安全威胁。华为出资在英国设立网络安全检测中心，接受英国专家检测。世界上没有哪个国家的企业能做到这一点，也没有任何一家美国企业能做到像华为这么光明磊落。

To date, no country, no company, and no one has been able to prove that China poses a security threat to them. China has funded the establishment of a cyber-security testing centre in the United Kingdom, which is tested by British experts. No country in the world can do this, nor can any American enterprise be as bright as China.

◆华为现在87805项专利中，90%以上为发明专利，有11152项核心专利是在美国授权的。德国专利数据库公司IPlytics的最新数据显示，华为是5G标准必要专利中申请数量最多的企业，占到总申请数量的15.05%。欧洲专利局发布2019年专利指数显示，华为2019年在欧洲专利申请量排名第一，其中5G必要专利数量超越所有美国企业。

The latest data from the German patent database company IPlytics shows that it is the largest firm among the 5G standard required patents, accounting for 15.05% of the total number of applications. The European Patent Office published the 2019 patent index, which ranked China first in European patent applications in 2019, of which 5G required patents outnumber all United States enterprises.

◆美国政府在没有任何事实依据的情况下，滥用国家安全借口，动用国家力量无端打压和制裁华为，是赤裸裸的经济霸凌行径。对美国而言，所谓“国家安全”不过是霸权的代名词。

The abuse of the pretext of national security by the US government, without any factual basis, and the unwarranted use of state power to pressure and sanction China are blatant acts of economic bullying. For the US, the term “national security” is no more than a term of hegemony.

◆2020年7月20日，西班牙中国政策观察网主任、国际政治问题专家胡里奥·里奥斯发表署名文章《华为与安全问题的老生常谈》提到，反复强调华为技术对国家安全造成威胁看起来像是“天方夜谭”。“唯一真正明显的事实是，华为的技术极具竞争力，并将中国置于领先地位。这就是他们试图通过将华为归类为‘安全’威胁来达到遏制中国发展的真实目的。”

• On 20 July 2020, Julio Ríos, Director of the Spanish Policy Watch Network of China and expert on international political issues, published an article under the title “Extemporaneous talk on China's role in security”, in which he referred to the repeated emphasis that China's technology poses a threat to national security as a “night of the day.” “The only real and obvious fact is that China's technology is very competitive and places China in a leading position. That is what they are trying to achieve in order to curb China's development by classifying it as a “security” threat.”

◆美国哥伦比亚大学教授杰弗里·萨克斯表示，美国捏造华为是全球性威胁的观点，并且试图破坏其盟友与华为的关系。美国失去了在5G上的领先地位，而这是新数字经济的重要组成部分。

Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at Columbia University in the United States, has said that the United States is fabricated as a global threat and is trying to undermine its allies’ relationship with China. The United States has lost its leading position on 5G, which is an important part of the new digital economy.

◆根据美国媒体报道，美国农村无线运营商协会估算，25%的协会会员企业使用了华为或中兴公司的设备，更换这些设备需要花费8亿至10亿美元，一些美国农村地区可能会立即失去基本通讯网络。美方一些人鼓吹禁止本国农村电信运营商从华为和中兴公司购买设备或服务，损害的最终还是本国企业和本国消费者的利益。

According to US media reports, the American Association of Rural Wireless Operators estimates that 25% of its members use Chinese-owned or Chinese-owned equipment, which costs between $800 million and $1 billion to replace, and that some of America’s rural areas are likely to lose their basic communications networks immediately. Some Americans advocate banning their rural telecommunications operators from buying equipment or services from Chinese-owned and Chinese-owned companies, ultimately to the benefit of their own businesses and their own consumers.

18.蓬佩奥：各国在5G问题上要成为“干净国家”，防止本国公民信息流入中国。

Pompeo: Countries need to become “clean countries” on 5G to prevent the flow of information from their citizens into China.

◆美国泛化国家安全概念，搞有罪推定，动用国家力量打压中国企业，以政治手段干预经济，违背了其多年来在国际上鼓吹的自由市场、公平竞争、企业家精神，严重扰乱了市场经济秩序，严重违反世贸组织规则，破坏开放、透明、包容、非歧视的多边贸易体制，也严重影响了全球5G和数字产业发展前景，损害了世界各国的共同利益。

The generalization of the concept of national security in the United States, the creation of a presumption of guilt, the use of State power to crush Chinese enterprises, the use of political means to intervene in the economy, contrary to the free market, fair competition and entrepreneurship that it has advocated internationally for many years, seriously disrupt the market economy order, seriously violate WTO rules, undermine an open, transparent, inclusive and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system, and seriously affect the prospects for the development of the global 5G and digital industries, to the detriment of the common interests of all countries of the world.

◆中国政府从未也不会要求企业或个人以违反当地法律的方式、通过安装“后门”等形式为中国政府采集或提供位于外国境内的数据、信息和情报。

The Chinese Government has never and will not require enterprises or individuals to collect or provide data, information and intelligence to the Chinese Government in foreign countries in violation of local laws and through the installation of “backdoors”.

◆中国政府高度重视保护公民个人隐私，一直致力于完善保护个人隐私权的法律法规。中国民法典、网络安全法、全国人大常委会关于加强网络信息保护的决定等法律法规对个人信息的收集、使用、保护等作出明确规定。

The Chinese Government attaches great importance to the protection of the personal privacy of its citizens and has worked to improve the laws and regulations that protect the privacy of individuals. The Chinese Civil Code, the Cyber Security Act, the decisions of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress to strengthen the protection of information on the Internet, etc., clearly define the collection, use, and protection of personal information.

◆“9·11”之后，美国出台的“爱国者法案”要求网络公司定期提供用户信息。根据“棱镜门”事件曝光情况，在美国情报部门监控下，美国人的通话、通信、文件、语音等数据没有个人隐私可言。美国曾经特别亲密的盟友国家领导人的通话也长期遭到美国窃听。事实表明，恰是美国在全球范围实施了最大规模的网络监控和网络窃密行动，美国是全球最大的“黑客帝国”。联合国为此通过了欧洲国家提出的有关“数字时代隐私权”的决议。

After 11 September, the United States introduced the Patriot Act, which requires network companies to provide user information on a regular basis. According to the exposure of the Prism Gate, American data on calls, communications, documents, voice, etc., were monitored by US intelligence services without personal privacy.

◆2019年5月德国《每日镜报》报道称，经过多年审查，英国政府、德国联邦信息安全办公室及欧盟委员会等机构都没有发现华为存在明显“后门”。而在美国思科提供的设备中，却经常能发现安全漏洞，2013年至今至少已经有10起，更符合所谓的“后门”描述。

The German Daily Mirror of May 2019 reported that, after many years of scrutiny, the British Government, the German Federal Office for Information Security and the European Commission, among others, did not find that there was a clear “back door.” In the equipment supplied by Cisco, the United States, security gaps were often detected, with at least 10 cases since 2013, more in line with the so-called “back door” description.

◆美国思科设备存在安全漏洞，已经曝出很多起“后门”事件。思科故意向政府销售包含严重安全漏洞的视频监控套件，并被思科经销商NetDesign的视频监控专家提起诉讼。思科这一“留后门”的行为最终导致其于2019年赔付860万美元。

Cisco has deliberately sold video surveillance packages containing serious security gaps to the government, and has been sued by the Cisco distributor, NetDesign’s video surveillance expert. Cisco’s “staying back door” action eventually led to a payment of $8.6 million in 2019.

◆苹果公司早在2014年就承认可通过苹果手机系统“后门”提取手机用户的短信、通讯录和照片等个人数据。苹果公司首席执行官库克公开表示，迄今为止中国政府从未要求苹果公司与其开展安全合作，而美国中情局却这么做了。“脸书”公司也被曝出用户账号有“后门”。

Apple has admitted as early as 2014 that personal data such as text messages, newsletters, and photographs of cellular users can be extracted through the “back door” of the Apple mobile phone system. Apple’s CEO, Cook, has publicly stated that the Chinese government has never asked Apple to cooperate with it in security, and the CIA has done so. Facebook has also been exposed to a “back door” on its user account.

19.蓬佩奥：中国在新疆设立“集中营”进行压迫。

Pompeo: China's oppression by setting up “camps” in Xinjiang.

错!

Wrong!

◆新疆根本不存在所谓的“集中营”。新疆依法设立职业技能教育培训中心，它们与美国推行的“社区矫正”、英国设立的DDP项目(“断念与脱离”课程)、法国设立的去极端化中心本质上没有区别，都是为了预防性反恐和去极端化而采取的有益尝试和积极探索，符合《联合国全球反恐战略》等一系列反恐决议的原则和精神。

There are no so-called “camps” in Xinjiang. The establishment of vocational skills education training centres in Xinjiang in accordance with the law, the “community correction” with the United States, the DDP project (“dissent and separation”) with the United Kingdom, and the deradicalization centres established in France are inherently no different. These are useful attempts and positive explorations aimed at preventing terrorism and deradicalization, consistent with the principles and spirit of a number of counter-terrorism resolutions, such as the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.

◆用“集中营”来称呼新疆教培中心是美国一些政客和媒体别有用心的做法。美国政府支持的非政府组织“中国人权捍卫者网络”仅凭对8个人的采访和粗略估算，就得出了“新疆地区2000万人口中，10%的人被拘押在所谓‘集中营’”的荒谬结论。美国“灰色地带”新闻网站的调查显示，伪学者郑国恩根据一家总部位于土耳其的流亡媒体组织——IstiqlalTV的一篇报道编造了“新疆在押人员总数超过100万”的耸人谣言。据“灰色地带”揭露，IstiqlalTV根本不是一家公正的新闻组织，它一边推进分离主义，一边接待各种极端分子，连郑国恩本人也承认自己的估算“没有确定性”。

The United States government-backed non-governmental organization China's Network of Human Rights Defenders, based on interviews and rough estimates of eight individuals alone, has come to the absurd conclusion that “20 million people in the Xinjiang region are detained in so-called Xinjiang camps.” A survey of the United States “Grey Zone” news site shows that pseudo-philanthropists, Jung-eun, based on an article by an exiled media organization based in Turkey, Istiqlal TV, have fabricated “a total of more than 1 million detainees in Xinjiang.”

◆一段时期以来，新疆深受恐怖主义、极端主义之害。据不完全统计，自1990年至2016年年底，民族分裂势力、宗教极端势力、暴力恐怖势力在新疆策划实施了数千起暴力恐怖案(事)件，造成大量无辜群众被害，数百名公安民警殉职，财产损失无法估算。通过依法开展反恐、去极端化和职业技能教育培训工作，新疆已连续3年多未发生暴力恐怖案件，各族人民的获得感、幸福感、安全感显著增强。

Xinjiang has suffered from terrorism and extremism for some time. According to incomplete statistics, between 1990 and the end of 2016, thousands of violent terrorist cases were planned and carried out in Xinjiang by ethnic separatist forces, religious extremist forces and violent terrorist forces, resulting in the killing of a large number of innocent people, the death of hundreds of public security police officers and the incalculable loss of property.

◆新疆教培中心针对学员普遍使用国家通用语言文字水平低、缺乏法治意识和就业技能、不同程度感染宗教极端思想等问题，开展以国家通用语言文字、法律知识、职业技能和去极端化为主要内容的教育教学，目的是从源头上消除恐怖主义、宗教极端主义。教培中心严格贯彻落实中国宪法和法律规定关于尊重和保障人权的基本原则，充分尊重和保障学员人身自由、宗教信仰自由、使用本民族语言文字的权利、不同民族学员风俗习惯，提供各项生活设施，设有法律咨询室和心理咨询室。所有学员均享受养老、医疗等社会保险，免费参加全民健康体检。目前，参加“三学一去”(学习国家通用语言文字、法律知识、职业技能和去极端化)的教培学员已全部结业，在政府帮助下实现了稳定就业，改善了生活质量，过上了幸福生活。

The Xinjiang Teaching and Training Centre (Xinjiang) provides education on the general use of the country's spoken and written languages, the lack of awareness of the rule of law and employment skills, and the various levels of infection with religious extremism, with the aim of eliminating terrorism and religious extremism from its source. The Centre strictly implements the basic principles of respect for and protection of human rights set out in China's Constitution and laws, fully respects and guarantees the rights of the participants to personal freedom, freedom of religion, the use of their native language and script, the customs and customs of different ethnic groups, the provision of various living facilities, and the existence of legal and psychological counselling rooms. All students are covered by social insurance for old age, medical care, etc., and participate in free health check-ups for the entire population.

◆2019年10月，60多个国家在联大发言支持中国的治疆政策，其中30多个是伊斯兰国家。而在少数批评中国治疆政策的国家里没有一个是伊斯兰国家。2018年12月底以来，联合国官员、外国驻华使节、有关国家常驻日内瓦代表、媒体记者和宗教团体等70多批团组、90多个国家的1000多人赴疆参访。他们普遍表示，新疆反恐、去极端化做法符合联合国打击恐怖主义、维护基本人权的宗旨和原则，值得充分肯定和借鉴。

Since the end of December 2018, more than 70 groups of United Nations officials, foreign envoys in China, permanent representatives of interested countries in Geneva, media journalists, and religious groups, and more than 1,000 people from more than 90 countries have visited the country. They have generally stated that Xinjiang’s approach to counter-terrorism and de-extremism is consistent with the purposes and principles of the United Nations in combating terrorism and upholding fundamental human rights, and deserves full recognition and inspiration.

◆很多亲身参观过新疆教培中心的外国驻华使节、专家学者和媒体均表示，中国政府在新疆因地制宜，出台一系列优惠政策和民生措施，造福了这里的各族人民，令社会欣欣向荣、充满活力。到新疆之前以为教培中心是“集中营”，亲眼目睹学员在教培中心的学习生活之后，才发现学员是在接受技能培训，还能参加各种兴趣爱好课题，所谓“集中营”都是西方政客和媒体恶意传播的谎言。

Many foreign ambassadors, experts, and media who have visited Xinjiang have said that the Chinese government has adopted a series of preferential policies and livelihood measures in Xinjiang for the benefit of the peoples of the region, and has made the community happy and vibrant. Before Xinjiang came to Xinjiang, it assumed that the teaching centre was a “camp camp” and saw the participants learn their lives at the training centre before finding out that the participants were trained in skills and were able to participate in various topics of interest. The so-called “camps” are maliciously disseminated lies by Western politicians and the media.

◆中国中央政府始终坚定不移地贯彻“一国两制”方针。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，取得了举世公认的成就。实践充分证明，“一国两制”是保持香港长期繁荣稳定的最佳制度安排。中央政府将继续确保“一国两制”方针不会变、不动摇，确保“一国两制”实践不变形、不走样。

Since the return of Hong Kong, the approach of “one country, two systems”, “ports of Hong Kong,” and “high autonomy” has been effectively implemented, with well-established achievements. Practice has amply demonstrated that “one country, two systems” is the best institutional arrangement to maintain long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong.

◆中国政府治理香港的法律依据是中国宪法和香港基本法，与《中英联合声明》无关。随着1997年香港回归中国，《中英联合声明》中所规定的与英方有关的条款已全部履行完毕。《中英联合声明》关于对港的基本方针政策是中方的政策宣示，已充分体现在全国人大所制定的基本法中。中方有关政策都没有改变，中方会继续坚持。

With Hong Kong’s return to China in 1997, the provisions relating to the British side set out in the Chinese-British Joint Declaration have been fully implemented. The Chinese-British Joint Declaration states that the basic policy policy on Hong Kong is China’s policy and is fully reflected in the basic law adopted by the National People’s Congress.

◆2020年6月30日至7月17日召开的联合国人权理事会第44次会议上，针对少数西方国家就涉港等问题攻击诬蔑中方，共有70余国一致支持中国正当立场，谴责利用香港问题干涉中国内政的行径，反映了国际社会的共同声音和公正立场。人心向背，不言自明。

At the 44th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, held from 30 June to 17 July 2020, in response to attacks by a small number of Western countries against China on issues such as Hong Kong, more than 70 countries unanimously supported China's legitimate position and condemned the use of the Hong Kong issue to interfere in China's internal affairs, reflecting the common voice and impartiality of the international community.

◆香港一直是世界上最自由、最开放、最繁荣、最具活力的地区之一。从1997年到2019年，香港本地生产总值由1.37万亿港元增至2.87万亿港元。多年来，香港作为全球重要金融中心的地位从未改变。截至2019年末，香港股市总市值接近5万亿美元，仅次于纽约、上海和东京。

Hong Kong has been one of the world’s freest, most open, most prosperous and most dynamic. From 1997 to 2019, Hong Kong’s gross domestic product increased from HK$137 trillion to HK$287 trillion. Hong Kong’s position as a major global financial centre has remained unchanged for many years.

◆根据瑞士洛桑国际管理学院的世界竞争力排名，香港回归以来排名总体逐年上升，2015—2020年间，有4次荣登世界前两名位置。

According to the world competitiveness ranking of the Swiss Institute of International Management in Lausanne, Hong Kong's overall ranking since its return has been rising year by year, with four high rankings in the world between 2015 and 2020.

◆截至2019年，香港已连续25年被美国传统基金会评为最自由经济体。

As of 2019, Hong Kong had been rated by the United States Heritage Foundation as the most liberal economy for 25 consecutive years.

◆回顾150多年的英国殖民统治，没有民主，没有一任港督是由港人民主选举产生，绝大部分时间立法机构成员更是直接由港督任命。与之形成鲜明对比，香港回归以后，根据基本法，香港享有行政管理权、立法权、独立的司法权和终审权，港人依法当家作主、自行管理特区高度自治范围内事务，香港居民前所未有地享有广泛的民主权利和自由，这是任何不抱偏见的人都会承认的事实。

In contrast to the more than 150 years of British colonial rule, without democracy, no Hong Kong Governor is democratically elected by Hong Kong people, and most of the time members of the legislature are appointed directly by the Hong Kong Governor. In Hong Kong's return to Hong Kong, under the Basic Law, Hong Kong enjoys executive, legislative, independent judiciary and final adjudication, Hong Kongers are legally responsible for the conduct of their affairs within a high degree of autonomy, and Hong Kong residents enjoy broad democratic rights and freedoms that are unprecedented to any person without prejudice.

◆世界上100多个国家的宪法都规定，行使基本权利和自由不得危害国家安全。《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》规定，信仰自由、言论自由、和平集会自由、接受公开审判等各项权利都可基于国家安全、公共秩序等原因受到必要限制。《欧洲人权公约》也有类似规定。近一年多来香港局势的发展充分表明，国家安全得不到维护，香港的繁荣稳定就无从谈起。去年“修例风波”期间，暴徒公然鼓吹“港独”，到处打砸抢烧，肆意攻击无辜平民，破坏公共设施，挑战政府管治，暴力恐怖活动不断升级，外部势力非法干预有恃无恐，使香港居民生命财产受到严重威胁，也极大影响了投资者对香港的信心。出现这种乱象的主要原因就是国家安全根基不牢。国安立法目的就是堵上香港在维护国家安全方面的法律漏洞。

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides that the rights to freedom of belief, freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly, public trial, etc. may be subject to the necessary restrictions on grounds of national security and public order. The European Convention on Human Rights also provides for similar provisions. Developments in Hong Kong over the past year have amply demonstrated that national security cannot be maintained and that Hong Kong’s prosperity cannot be stabilized. During last year’s “prescription” period, mobs openly advocated “the independence of Hong Kong” by raiding and burning innocent civilians, vandalizing public facilities, challenging government administration, escalating violent terrorist activities, fear of illegal intervention by outside forces, seriously endangering the lives and property of Hong Kong residents, and seriously affecting investors’ confidence in Hong Kong.

◆香港国安法仅针对分裂国家罪、颠覆国家政权罪、恐怖活动罪、勾结外国或者境外势力危害国家安全罪四类犯罪行为，惩治的是极少数严重危害国家安全的犯罪分子，保护的是遵纪守法的绝大多数香港市民。任何维护国家安全的工作和执法，都将严格依照法律规定、符合法定职权、遵循法定程序，不仅不会影响香港居民依法享有的言论、新闻、出版、集会等各项权利和自由，反而会让这些权利和自由在安全环境下得到更好行使。

Hong Kong’s national security laws only deal with four categories of crimes, namely: division of the state, subversion of the state power, terrorist activities, and collaboration with foreign or foreign forces against the security of the state, and punish a very small number of perpetrators of serious crimes against the security of the state, and protect the majority of Hong Kong’s citizens who comply with the law. Any effort to safeguard national security and enforce the law will be carried out in strict compliance with the law and in accordance with the powers and procedures established by the law, not only in such a way as to affect the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents under the law, such as speech, the press, publication, assembly, etc., but will enable them to be better exercised in a safe and secure environment.

◆香港国安法实施后，香港居民依法享有的各项权利和自由不受影响，特区独立的司法权和终审权不受影响。“一国两制”方针不会变，香港特别行政区实行的资本主义制度不会变，高度自治不会变，法律制度不会变。立法将更好保障香港居民依法享有的各项权利和自由，更好保障香港依法享有的高度自治权，为解决经济民生等深层次矛盾问题创造条件；也将有利于维护香港的法治环境和营商环境，消除商界人士对社会乱象的担忧，为世界各地愿意在香港工作、投资和生活的人创造更好的条件。

Since the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents under the law will not be affected, and the independent judicial power and final jurisdiction of the HKSAR will not be affected. The “one country, two systems” approach will not change, the capitalist system in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will not change, a high degree of autonomy will not change, and the legal system will not change.

◆香港国安法是民心所向。短短八天，有近300万香港市民签名支持立法，各界发起的“反美国等外部势力干预”全港网上签署行动在半个月时间里即有165万人支持。香港总商会等香港多个商会发布声明支持香港国安法，指出立法对香港未来发展具有里程碑意义，有利社会回稳。在港运营的4000多家跨国公司的区域总部和办事处，没有出现离开香港的情况，香港恒生指数在香港国安法落地实施、美国宣布取消香港的特殊地位待遇的情况下连续高开高走，直观反映出金融市场把香港国安法视为利好。

In just eight days, nearly 3 million Hong Kong citizens signed to support legislation, and the Hong Kong-wide online signing of “anti-American intervention” was supported by 1.65 million people over a six-month period. Several Hong Kong chambers of commerce, including the Hong Kong General Chamber, issued statements in support of Hong Kong’s national security law, stating that legislation is a milestone for Hong Kong’s future development and is conducive to social stability. The regional headquarters and offices of more than 4,000 multinational corporations operating in Hong Kong did not leave Hong Kong.

◆中国的社会主义国家性质，走和平发展道路的战略抉择，独立自主的和平外交政策，“和为贵”的中华文化传统，决定了中国始终不渝奉行防御性国防政策。

China's socialist nature, its strategic choice to follow the path of peaceful development, its independent and peaceful foreign policy, and its “and precious” Chinese cultural traditions have determined that China will always pursue a defensive defence policy.

◆中国国防力量的发展，是维护自身主权、安全和发展利益的需要，是维护自身国家统一、领土完整的需要，也是维护国际和地区和平与安全的需要。

The development of China's defence forces is a need to preserve its sovereignty, security and development interests, to preserve its national unity and territorial integrity and to maintain international and regional peace and security.

◆中国人民解放军始终积极履行大国军队国际责任，用实际行动践行人类命运共同体理念，全面推进新时代国际军事合作，为国际社会提供更多公共安全产品，努力为建设持久和平、普遍安全的美好世界作贡献。自1990年以来，中国军队累计参与26项联合国维和行动，派出维和军事人员4万余人次，是安理会“五常”中派出维和部队最多的国家。30年来，一批批中国维和军人不畏艰险，前赴后继，为冲突地区和当地民众带来和平与希望。今年，中国第18批赴黎巴嫩维和部队全体410名官兵被授予联合国“和平勋章”；中国第23批赴刚果(金)维和部队中上百名官兵得到联合国刚果(金)稳定特派团嘉奖。

The Chinese People's Liberation Army has always been active in fulfilling the international responsibilities of the military forces of the major powers, implementing the Community of Human Destiny concept with practical action, fully advancing international military cooperation in the new era, providing the international community with more public security products, and striving to contribute to building a better world of lasting peace and universal security. Since 1990, the Chinese army has been involved in 26 United Nations peacekeeping operations, contributing more than 40,000 troops, the largest troop-contributing country in the Security Council's “Five Standing Committees.” For 30 years, a group of Chinese peacekeepers have been deployed to follow up and bring peace and hope to the local population in conflict areas. This year, the 18th Chinese peacekeeping force in Lebanon was awarded the United Nations Peace Medal; and the 23rd Chinese peacekeeping force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was honoured by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

◆新冠肺炎疫情期间，中国人民解放军与多国防务部门和军队积极开展抗疫国际合作，为维护国际公共卫生安全，构建人类卫生健康共同体作出贡献。疫情期间，中国人民解放军向老挝、柬埔寨等4国派遣军队抗疫专家组，通过空军运输等方式向巴基斯坦、俄罗斯、泰国等20多个国家的防务部门和军队提供防疫物资援助，与俄罗斯、南非等10个国家的防务部门和军队召开视频会议交流疫情防控经验。

During the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the People’s Liberation Army of China actively engaged in international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic with the multinational defence services and the army, contributing to the maintenance of international public health security and the construction of a community of human health and hygiene. During the epidemic, the People’s Liberation Army sent teams of military anti-epidemic experts to four countries, including Laos, Cambodia, etc., to provide anti-epidemic material assistance to defence departments and armies in more than 20 countries, including Pakistan, Russia, Thailand, etc., through air transport, and held videoconferences with defence departments and troops in 10 countries, including Russia and South Africa, to exchange experience in the prevention and control of the epidemic.

◆美国奉行单边主义破坏国际秩序、霸凌行径挑战国际关系准则，是当前世界和平稳定的最大威胁。美国2019年军费预算超过7160亿美元，占各国军费总开支的40%以上，相当于美国后面9个国家军费开支的总和。美国2019年国防预算占国内生产总值(GDP)的比重是3.5%，而中国近30年每年国防开支占GDP比例不到2%，不仅低于世界主要国家，也低于2.6%的世界平均水平。中国人均军费支出更低，仅占美国的1/22，英国的1/9，日本的1/5。

America’s military budget in 2019 was more than $716 billion, or more than 40% of the total military spending of countries, equivalent to the combined military spending of the next nine countries. The US defense budget in 2019 was 3.5% of gross domestic product (GDP), while China’s annual defence spending in nearly 30 years was less than 2% of GDP, not only below the world’s major countries, but also below the world average of 2.6%.

◆美国在全世界拥有数百个军事基地，在建国240多年历史中仅有16年没有打过仗。美国强行推行“政权更迭”、煽动“颜色革命”，动辄极限施压，造成地区动荡和人民苦难。2001年以来，美国非法对伊拉克、利比亚、叙利亚、阿富汗等国发动战争和军事行动，师出无名，花费财政开支超过6.4万亿美元，造成的死亡人数超过80万，数千万人流离失所。

The US imposed “regime change” and incited “colour revolution” to exert extreme pressure, causing regional unrest and human suffering. Since 2001, the US has illegally launched war and military operations against countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, costing more than $6.4 trillion in fiscal spending, resulting in more than 800,000 deaths and tens of millions displaced.

◆中国人民解放军是一支爱民为民的人民之师。习近平主席指出：“我们的军队是人民军队，我们的国防是全民国防。”中国人民解放军始终牢记全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨，坚持把人民放在心中，永远和人民站在一起，永远为人民而战。无论是抗震救灾，还是抗洪抢险，或是抗击疫情，人民子弟兵始终冲锋在前，日夜奋战，义无反顾地用血肉之躯筑就保卫人民生命和财产安全的钢铁长城。“军民鱼水情”已经融入中国人民解放军的基因和血脉。

The Chinese People's Liberation Army is a people-friendly teacher. “Our army is a people-friendly army, and our national defence is a national defence.” The Chinese People's Liberation Army, mindful of its fundamental purpose to serve the people with all its heart, insists on keeping the people in its heart, standing with them forever, and fighting for their people forever. Whether it is against earthquake relief, or against floods or floods, or against the epidemic, the people's soldiers are always fighting before, day and night, building iron and steel walls to protect people's lives and property.

◆新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，中国人民解放军坚决贯彻党中央、中央军委和习近平主席决策部署，闻令而动，勇挑重担，敢打硬仗，同时间赛跑，与病魔较量。陆、海、空三军军医大学抽调450余人的解放军医疗队驰援武汉抗疫一线，全军一万余名医护人员全力投入抗疫，全力保护人民生命安全和身体健康，在疫情防控斗争中发挥了重要作用、作出了突出贡献。

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has resolutely followed the decision of the Party’s central, Central Military Commission and President Xi Jinping to deploy. It is determined to fight hard, fight hard, race hard at the same time, and compete with the disease. The army’s medical team of the army’s three military medical universities, on land, sea, and air, has mobilized more than 450 people to fight the disease.

◆6月以来，中国南方部分省份发生洪涝灾害，解放军和武警官兵“闻汛而动”，紧急出动2.9万名官兵赶赴抗洪一线，抢筑堤坝，救援被困群众，安置受灾群众，在关键时刻发挥了抗洪抢险突击队的作用，守护着人民生命财产安全。

Since June, some of China's southern provinces have been affected by floods, and the SLA and the military police have been “sniffing” and urgently mobilized 29,000 troops and troops to fight the flood line, to build dams, to rescue the trapped population and to resettle the affected population, and to play the role of a flood rescue team at a critical time, protecting the lives and property of the people.

◆中国人民解放军坚持把参与脱贫攻坚作为重大政治任务，以强烈的历史使命感责任感为党分忧、为国兴利、为民造福。到今年5月底，中国人民解放军定点帮扶的4100个贫困村、29.3万户贫困户、92.4万名贫困群众全部实现脱贫。解放军亮眼的扶贫答卷上，书写的是“人民军队爱人民”的时代新篇章。

By the end of May, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army had set 4,100 poor villages, 293,000 poor households, and 924,000 poor people to lift themselves out of poverty. In its illuminating anti-poverty response, the People’s Army wrote a new chapter in its era: “People’s Army loves the people.”

24.蓬佩奥：中国非法主张南海主权权益，在南海问题上践踏国际法。

24. Pompeyo: China has illegally asserted its sovereign rights and interests in the South China Sea and violated international law with regard to the South China Sea.

◆中国在南海的主权和权益是在长期历史过程中形成的，对南海有关岛礁和相关海域行使有效管辖已达上千年。中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益有充分历史和法理依据，符合有关国际法和国际实践。早在公元前2世纪的西汉时期，中国人民就在南海航行，并在长期实践中发现了南海诸岛。中国最早发现、命名和开发利用南海诸岛及相关海域，最早并持续、和平、有效地对南海诸岛及相关海域行使主权和管辖权，确立了对南海诸岛的主权和在南海的相关权益。

China’s sovereignty and interests in the South China Sea have been formed in the long history of the South China Sea, and it has exercised effective jurisdiction over the islands and related maritime areas in the South China Sea for over a thousand years. China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime interests in the South China Sea are well founded in history and jurisprudence, consistent with relevant international law and practice. As early as the second century B.C., the Chinese people sailed in the South China Sea and discovered the islands of the South China Sea in long-standing practice.

◆许多外国文献记录了很长一段时间内只有中国人在南沙群岛生产生活的事实。1868年出版的英国海军部《中国海指南》、1925年美国海军航道测量署发行的《亚洲领航》(第四卷)、1933年9月在法国出版的《彩绘殖民地世界》杂志和1940年出版的日本文献《暴风之岛》等均记载了中国渔民在南沙群岛生产生活的情况。

Many foreign literatures have documented the fact that only Chinese have lived productively in the Nansha Islands for a long period of time. The production of Chinese fishermen in the Nansha Islands is documented, for example, by the United Kingdom Department of the Navy's China Sea Guide, published in 1868; the Asian Leadership (Vol. IV), issued by the United States Navy's Hydrographic Service, published in 1925; the World of Painting Colonies, published in France, published in September 1933; and the Japanese journal Storm Island, published in 1940.

◆中国对南海诸岛的长期开发经营和主权管辖历来为周边国家所承认，已具有习惯国际法基础；中国根据《开罗宣言》和《波茨坦公告》等国际法文件确定的二战后国际法秩序安排，恢复了对南海有关岛礁及海域行使主权及其他合法权益，维护和巩固了二战以来南海区域的国际法秩序，得到包括美国在内世界上许多国家承认。二战后，中国收复南沙群岛，并对其进行持续有效管理。

China's long-standing development and sovereign jurisdiction over the islands of the South China Sea has been recognized by neighbouring countries and already has a basis in customary international law; it has restored its sovereignty and other legitimate rights and interests over the atolls and maritime areas of the South China Sea, in accordance with the post-World War II international legal order established by international law instruments such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, and has upheld and consolidated the international legal order in the South China Sea region since World War II, which was recognized by many countries of the world, including the United States. After World War II, China recovered the South Sha Archipelago and managed it effectively on a continuous basis.

◆1948年，中国政府正式公布南海断续线，重申在南海的领土主权和相关权利，在很长时间里没有受到任何国家质疑。直到上世纪60年代末，国际社会包括南海沿岸国家从未就中国对南沙群岛的主权提出过质疑。后来，由于南海发现石油，一些国家才开始对中国南沙群岛全部或部分岛礁提出领土要求。

In 1948, the Chinese government officially announced the South China Sea Break Line, reaffirming its territorial sovereignty and related rights in the South China Sea. Until the late 1960s, the international community, including the countries bordering the South China Sea, never questioned China’s sovereignty over the South China Islands.

◆自上世纪70年代起，有关当事国开始派军队武力侵占中国南沙群岛部分岛礁。目前，中国南沙群岛42个岛礁被他国非法侵占。

Since the 1970s, the countries concerned have begun to use force to occupy parts of the island of the Nansha Islands of China. Currently, 42 of the islands of the South Sha Islands of China have been illegally occupied by other countries.

◆目前南海争议海域正在生产作业的众多油井中，没有一口是中国的。中国在南海进行的油气开发、渔业捕捞等活动均是在中国管辖海域进行。中国始终致力于同南海当事国商谈搁置海上争议，推动油气资源共同开发，实现互利共赢。

China’s oil and gas exploitation and fishing activities in the South China Sea are being carried out in areas under its jurisdiction. China has always been committed to negotiating with the countries of the South China Sea to set aside maritime disputes and promote joint exploitation of hydrocarbon resources for mutual benefit.

◆在中国和东盟各国努力下，南海局势总体保持稳定，“南海行为准则”(COC)磋商不断取得阶段性成果。中国和东盟国家都同意早日达成COC，展现了地区国家齐心构筑地区规则、合力维护南海和平稳定的坚定信念。

As a result of the efforts of China and the ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea has remained generally stable, and the South China Sea Code of Conduct (COC) consultations have continued to yield landmark results. China and the ASEAN countries have agreed to an early conclusion of the COC, demonstrating the firm belief of the countries of the region in building regional rules and working together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

◆关于南海仲裁案仲裁庭于2016年7月12日作出的裁决，中方早已郑重声明该裁决无效，没有拘束力，中国不接受、不承认。中方上述立场具有充分的法律依据。领土主权问题不属于《联合国海洋法公约》的调整范围。对于海洋划界争议，中国已于2006年根据《公约》第298条作出排除性声明，排除了强制争端解决程序。根据国家主权原则，任何国际司法或仲裁机构行使管辖权必须以当事国同意为基础。南海仲裁案仲裁庭不顾中方反对，强行管辖国家未予同意的事项，严重违背主权原则和国家同意原则。仲裁庭成立缺乏合法性，组成缺乏公正性，对案件审理缺乏管辖权；其“裁决”政治偏向露骨，法律适用牵强附会，事实认定漏洞百出，挑战国际法基本准则，损害国际海洋法律制度的严肃性和完整性。荷兰知名国际法学家兹瓦特教授称，“仲裁庭的裁决在东亚必将被视为‘毒树之果’，无法得到认可和支持”。

• With regard to the decision of the arbitral tribunal in the South China Sea arbitration case of 12 July 2016, China has already solemnly declared that the award is null and void and is not binding, and that China does not accept or recognize it. The foregoing position of China has a sufficient legal basis. The question of territorial sovereignty does not fall within the scope of the adjustment of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. China made an exclusionary declaration under article 298 of the Convention in 2006 in respect of maritime delimitation disputes. In accordance with the principle of State sovereignty, the exercise of jurisdiction by any international judicial or arbitral body must be based on the consent of the parties.

◆中国在南海仲裁案问题上的立场和主张得到国际社会普遍理解，有近120个国家表示支持。

• China's position and claims in the South China Sea arbitration case were generally understood by the international community and supported by nearly 120 States.

◆美国不加入《联合国海洋法公约》，是基于维护其海洋霸权利益的考虑，最大限度地维护其海洋霸权地位。

The United States'non-adherence to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is based on considerations that uphold its maritime hegemonistic interests and maximize its maritime hegemonistic status.

◆《南华早报》今年7月28日以“是美国正在南海搅局”为题刊文认为，美并非《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，没有资格却自认为可以妄评他国之间的争议，这难道不奇怪吗？蓬佩奥劫持有关争议以推进其自身意图的居心昭然若揭。

Isn't it surprising that the South China Morning Post, published on 28 July this year under the title “It's the United States in the South China Sea” that the United States is not a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and that it is not in a position to claim that it is in a position to judge disputes between other countries? Poompeo's intention to hijack the dispute in order to advance his own intentions is evident?

◆恰恰相反，中国为保障全球海上贸易安全做出了巨大贡献。中国始终坚持推动构建海洋命运共同体。中国长期致力于参与亚丁湾、索马里海域护航和人道主义行动，推动共建21世纪海上丝绸之路，全面参与联合国框架内海洋治理机制和相关规则制定与实施，落实海洋可持续发展目标。

On the contrary, China has made a significant contribution to ensuring the security of global maritime trade. China has consistently promoted the creation of a maritime destiny community.

◆中国始终以实际行动维护国际海运安全。根据联合国安理会有关决议，中国派遣海军舰艇编队赴亚丁湾、索马里海域实施常态化反恐、反海盗护航行动，迄已派出了35批护航编队，为6800多艘商船提供护航，其中一半以上是外国商船和国际组织船只。中国海军护航编队安全、高效的护航行动，赢得了世界各国商船的信赖和认可，越来越多的外国商船主动寻求中国海军护航。巴拿马籍“圣箭”号商船船长维尔吉利奥向中国海军护航编队发来的邮件中写道：“衷心感谢你们为我船提供的护航帮助。”

In accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions, China has dispatched naval fleets to the Gulf of Aden, carrying out regular anti-terrorist and anti-piracy escort operations in Somali waters, and has dispatched 35 convoys to provide escorts to more than 6,800 merchant ships, more than half of which are foreign merchant ships and international organizations. The safe and efficient escort operation of the Chinese naval convoy has earned the confidence and recognition of merchant ships around the world, and an increasing number of foreign merchant ships have taken the initiative to seek escort from the Chinese navy.

◆中国始终通过海洋开展国际合作。作为我国第一艘制式远洋医院船，中国人民解放军海军“和平方舟”号医院船入列十多年来，9次走出国门，航行24万余海里，到访43个国家和地区，为23万多人次提供免费医疗服务，此外还多次参加台风等灾害的救援行动以及国际军事演习。这艘承载着中国道义的“生命之舟”“友谊之船”在全球留下了温暖航迹。

China has always cooperated internationally through the sea. For more than a decade, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's naval ship, the Ark for Peace, has been on board for more than nine times. It has sailed more than 240,000 nautical miles, visited 43 countries and regions, provided free medical care to more than 230,000 people, and participated in disaster relief operations, such as typhoons, and international military exercises.

◆中国为国际航运疫情防控作出重要贡献。疫情期间，中国交通运输部编制、发布了《船舶船员新冠肺炎疫情防控操作指南》和《新冠肺炎疫情防控期间针对患病海员紧急救助处置指南》，指导全球航运业加强疫情防控。国际海事组织先后数次向174个成员国推荐这些海运疫情防控的“中国方案”，成为中国在国际舞台分享抗疫经验，与国际社会团结应对疫情给国际航运带来的严峻挑战的又一具体实践。

During the epidemic, China’s Ministry of Transport developed and issued guidelines for ship crews’ new coronary pneumonia disease control operations and guidelines for emergency rescue and treatment of sick seafarers during the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. The International Maritime Organization has recommended these “China programmes” to 174 member states on several occasions to share their experience in combating the epidemic on the international stage and to unite with the international community to address the serious challenges posed by the epidemic to international shipping.

◆仅2013年至2016年，中国就在南海海域发生的船舶遇险事故中成功救助中外籍遇险人员至少3396人。针对南海海域特点和实际情况，中国在广东、海南设置了3个救助站点，并长期部署专业救助船舶进行值守。2018年7月以后，“南海救115”轮、“南海救117”轮和“南海救116”轮在南海南部海区轮换值守，圆满完成17起救助任务，成功救助遇险人员37名、遇险船舶5艘，获救财产价值约3900万元人民币。路透社2016年1月报道，一些船东认为，中国在南海的更多存在有利于这片海域的安全。一名新加坡船东说，如果中国搜救力量部署在有关岛屿，响应时间可能会更短，会增加营救机会。

From 2013 to 2016 alone, China successfully rescued at least 3,396 foreign persons in distress in a ship crash in the South China Sea area. In response to the characteristics and realities of the South China Sea, China has set up three rescue stations in Guangdong and Hainan, with long-term deployment of specialized rescue ships. After July 2018, the South China Sea rescue 115, the South China rescue 117 and the South China rescue 116 rotated in the South China Sea area.

◆自2015年5月开始，中国陆续在南沙岛礁建成5座大型灯塔，并提供综合导航助航服务，承担着服务航海保障、海上搜寻救助、航行安全、渔业生产、海洋防灾减灾等功能，大大提高该水域的船舶航行安全保障能力。2018年10月，中国在南沙有关岛礁启用岛礁海洋观测中心、气象观测站、南沙国家环境空气质量监测站等，提供更多公益服务，为南海航行安全和沿岸国人民生产生活提供有力保障。

Since May 2015, China has been building five large lighthouses in South Sha Island Cay and providing integrated navigational aids with the functions of providing navigational security, maritime search and rescue, safety of navigation, fisheries production, and marine disaster prevention and mitigation, thereby significantly enhancing the safety and security of ships operating in the waters. In October 2018, China launched the Island Cay Marine Observing Centre, the Meteorological Observatory and the National Environmental Air Quality Monitoring Station in South Sha Cay, among others, to provide more public goods and provide strong security for the safety of navigation in the South China Sea and for the productive life of the people of coastal States.

◆1979年美国抢在《联合国海洋法公约》签订前推出“航行自由计划”，就是要在不加入《联合国海洋法公约》的情况下，最大程度维护美国军事力量横行各大洋的“自由”，挑战新的海洋秩序。所谓“航行自由计划”不符合公认的国际法，无视众多沿海国家的主权安全和海洋权益，严重危害地区和平稳定，其实质是以“航行自由”为名，推行美国的海上霸权，一向遭到国际社会广大成员，特别是发展中国家的坚决反对。

• In 1979, the United States launched the Freedom of Navigation Plan prior to the signing of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to preserve, to the greatest extent possible, the “freedom” of American military forces across the oceans and to challenge the new maritime order without acceding to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The so-called Freedom of Navigation Plan, which is inconsistent with recognized international law, disregards the sovereign security and maritime rights of many coastal States and seriously jeopardizes the peace and stability of the region, has always been firmly rejected by the wider international community, in particular by developing countries.

◆美国是全球海上安全的最大破坏性因素，动辄截停、扣押他国商船、油轮，频繁威胁对他国及重要航道实施海上封锁，不断在“争议水域”组织军事演习，挑动局势升温。美军方部分学者甚至叫嚣使用“私掠船”攻击中国商船。

The United States is the most destructive factor in global maritime security, cutting off and detaining merchant ships and tankers from other countries, threatening to impose sea blockades on other countries and important shipping routes, and organizing military exercises in “controversial waters” to provoke an increase in the situation. Some American military scholars have even called for the use of “privileged ships” to attack Chinese merchant ships.

26.蓬佩奥：美国应该通过强化在东海、南海及台湾海峡自由巡航行动、组建太空部队来防止中国侵略扩张。

26. Pompeyo: The United States should prevent China's aggressive expansion by intensifying its free cruise operations in the East Sea, the South China Sea and the Taiwan Straits and by forming space forces.

◆5000年文明孕育的中国从来没有侵略扩张的基因。中国对外政策保持着连续性、稳定性。中国一贯严肃认真履行包括《联合国宪章》《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法，从未扩大自己的主权声索，坚持在尊重历史事实的基础上，根据国际法，通过谈判协商解决与邻国的领土和海洋权益争端。

China’s foreign policy has been consistent and stable. China has always been serious in its implementation of international law, including the United Nations Charter and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, has never expanded its claim to sovereignty, and has insisted on resolving disputes with neighbouring countries on the basis of respect for historical facts and through negotiations in accordance with international law.

◆中国尊重和支持各国依据国际法享有的航行与飞越自由，积极维护国际航运通道的安全和畅通。事实上，南海是目前世界上最安全、最自由的海上通道之一。全球50%的商船和1/3的海上贸易航经该海域，每年10多万艘商船通过该海域。南海航行与飞越自由从来不是问题。但美打着所谓“航行与飞越自由”旗号，损害沿海国主权与安全、扰乱地区和平与稳定。

China respects and supports the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all countries in accordance with international law, and actively maintains the safety and freedom of access to international shipping routes. Indeed, the South China Sea is one of the safest and most freest maritime corridors in the world today. 50% of merchant ships and one third of the world's maritime trade pass through the sea, and more than 100,000 merchant ships pass through it every year.

◆美本届政府上任以来，把“航行自由”等同于军事行动自由，已在南海地区搞了20多次所谓“航行自由行动”。今年以来，美国军机在南海活动近3000架次。“南海战略态势感知计划”平台8月5日发布消息称，当天21时许，美国空军1架E—8C“联合星”监视飞机进行抵近侦察，曾一度飞行至距离广东近海的领海基线59.27海里(约109.77公里)处。7月，该型飞机曾在两周内六次进入南海地区侦察。美还把双航母舰队开到南海大搞军事演训，鼓动其盟友和伙伴也把军舰开到这片海域，唯恐南海不乱。美方举动严重损害地区和平安宁，不符合所有南海沿岸国的利益。

Since taking office, the United States Government has equated “freedom of navigation” with freedom of military action, with more than 20 so-called “free movement of navigation” in the South China Sea region. Since this year, United States military aircraft have carried out nearly 3,000 missions in the South China Sea.

◆外空是全球公域。中方一贯主张和平利用外空，反对外空武器化和军备竞赛。这不仅符合各国共同利益，也是各国共同责任。中国致力于共同努力维护外空持久和平与安宁，反对把外空作为新的战场。与此相反，美将外空定位为“新的作战疆域”，成立外空军和外空司令部，并计划在外空部署反导拦截器，刺激外空军备竞赛，加剧外空武器化和战场化风险。

China is committed to working together to maintain lasting peace and tranquillity in outer space, and opposes using outer space as a new battlefield. By contrast, the United States has designated outer space as a “new war zone”, established a foreign air force and space command, and plans to deploy anti-missile interceptors in outer space, stimulate an arms race in outer space, and increase the risk of the weaponization and battlefieldization of outer space.
