【海外网5月25日|全球@中国两会】应十三届全国人大三次会议新闻中心邀请，国务委员兼外交部长王毅于2020年5月24日（星期日）下午3时，在人民大会堂新闻发布厅举行记者会，就“中国外交政策和对外关系”回答中外记者提问。

24日晚，外交部发言人办公室（微信号：xws4_fmprc）按照提问顺序，逐一回顾和分享王毅国务委员兼外长记者会答问精彩语句。摘要如下：

开场白

病毒打不倒人类，人类必将战胜疫情。至暗时刻终将过去，光明已在前方。

The virus cannot defeat humanity; we will eventually prevail. The darkest hour will pass. Looking ahead, we can see light and hope.

中国抗疫重要启示

这场疫情给我们带来的最大启示是：各国人民的生命健康从来没有像今天这样休戚与共、紧密相连；我们也从来没有像今天这样深刻意识到，各国生活在一个地球村，人类实际上是一个命运共同体。

The most important thing we could learn from COVID-19 is that the life and health of people in different countries have never been so closely connected. Also, it has never been made so clear to us that all nations live in the same global village and that humanity is in fact a community with a shared future.

病毒不分国界和种族，对全人类发起挑战。政治操弄只会给病毒以可乘之机，以邻为壑只能被病毒各个击破，无视科学只会让病毒乘虚而入。

The virus respects no borders or races. It poses a challenge to all human beings without distinction. Political manipulation will give the virus loopholes to exploit; a beggar-thy-neighbor approach will leave each of us more vulnerable; rejection of science will allow the virus to wreak greater havoc.

疫情以生命作为代价告诫我们，各国应超越地域种族、历史文化乃至社会制度的不同，携起手来构建人类命运共同体，共同维护好我们人类唯一可以生存的这个星球。

Having claimed so many precious lives, COVID-19 serves as a stark reminder that countries must rise above differences in geography, race, history, culture and social system. We must work together for a community with a shared future and jointly preserve Planet Earth, the only home we have.

中美关系

除了新冠病毒的肆虐，还有一种政治病毒也正在美国扩散。这种政治病毒就是利用一切机会对中国进行攻击抹黑。

It is most regrettable that while the coronavirus is still out there, a “political virus” is also spreading in the US and jumping at any opportunity to attack and slander China.

一些政客无视最基本的事实，针对中国编造了太多的谎言，策划了太多的阴谋。谎言录越长，就越拉低造谣者的道德水平，越在历史上留下更多的污点。

Some politicians ignore the basic facts and make up countless lies and conspiracy theories concerning China. The longer the list, the more it says about how low the rumor-mongers are willing to go and the more stains they will leave in history.

中美合则两利，斗则俱伤，这是从几十年来各种经验教训中得出的最精辟概括，需要双方谨记在心。

Both China and the US stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation: this best captures what we have learned, positive and otherwise, from the past decades. Both sides should take this lesson to heart.

中美社会制度不同，但这是两国人民各自作出的选择，应当彼此予以尊重。中美之间确实存在不少分歧，但这并不意味着没有合作空间。

China and the US have different social systems, but this is the result of the different choices made by our people, which we must respect. It’s also true that we have many disagreements, but that doesn’t preclude cooperation.

中国无意改变美国，更不想取代美国，而美国也不可能一厢情愿地改变中国，更不可能阻挡14亿中国人民迈向现代化的历史进程。

China has no intention to change, still less replace, the US. It’s time for the US to give up its wishful thinking of changing China or stopping the 1.4 billion Chinese people’s historical march toward modernization.

美国一些政治势力正在绑架中美关系，试图将中美关系推向所谓“新冷战”。这种危险的做法是在开历史倒车。

Some political forces in the US are taking China-US relations hostage and pushing our two countries to the brink of a “new Cold War”. This is a dangerous attempt to turn back the wheel of history.

我们必须维护中国的主权和领土完整，维护自身的正当发展权利，维护中国人民历经磨难赢得的地位和尊严。

China will defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, its legitimate right to development, and its dignity and place in the world which the Chinese people have worked so hard to earn.

中美双方应当，也必须找到一条不同社会制度、不同文化背景国家在这个星球上和平共存、互利共赢的相处之道。

China and the US should and must find a way of peaceful co-existence and mutually beneficial cooperation, demonstrating that this is possible between two countries with different systems and cultures.

后疫情世界和全球化未来

世界当然回不到过去，因为历史在向前迈进。人类正是在与大灾大难的抗争中得到发展和进步。

The world will certainly not be the same again; history always moves forward. Throughout world history, humanity has progressed by wrestling with one disaster after another.

经济全球化犹如百川汇成的大海，不可能再退缩为相互隔绝的湖泊。拒绝全球化、重拾保护主义，注定没有前途。

Economic globalization is like a vast ocean, to which every river flows. It’s simply not possible to channel the water in the ocean back into disconnected lakes. Likewise, attempts to reject globalization and fall back on protectionism will have no future.

全球化存在的问题只能在全球化的发展中加以解决。

The solution to the problems occurring in globalization lies in its further advancement.

这次疫情用事实证明，不管多么强大的国家，都不可能独善其身。隔岸观火最终会殃及自身，落井下石到头来将信誉扫地。唯我独尊、推卸责任，不仅解决不了自己面临的问题，还会损害其他国家的正当权益。

COVID-19 drives home once again that no country, no matter how strong it is, can insulate itself from a global challenge. When a disaster wreaks havoc, watching from an apparently safe distance and sitting idle will eventually backfire. Pointing fingers at others will only end up damaging one’s own reputation. Self-conceit and blame-shifting will not help one solve its own problems. Worse still, it will hurt other countries’ legitimate rights and interests.

世界回不到过去，中国同样也不会停下前进的脚步。疫情过后，中国经济必将更加坚韧有力，中华儿女必将更加团结一心，中国人民必将更加坚定地走中国特色社会主义道路，中华民族实现伟大复兴的进程必将更加势不可挡。

The world will never be the same again, and China will never stop moving forward. After COVID-19, our economy will emerge stronger and more resilient, our people more united and confident in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and our nation more unstoppable in its march toward great rejuvenation.

中俄关系

在普京总统领导下，坚韧不拔的俄罗斯人民一定能够战胜疫情，伟大的俄罗斯民族也一定能在疫情后焕发新的活力。

Under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin, the indomitable Russian people will defeat the virus and the great Russian nation will emerge from the challenge with renewed vigor and vitality.

面对个别国家的无理攻击与抹黑，中俄双方相互支持，彼此仗义执言，成为“政治病毒”攻不破的堡垒，体现了中俄高水平的战略协作。

The two countries have supported and defended each other against slanders and attacks coming from certain countries. Together, China and Russia have forged an impregnable fortress against the “political virus” and demonstrated the strength of China-Russia strategic coordination.

中俄共同抗疫的经历，将转化为疫情后中俄关系提速升级的动力。

The two countries’ joint response to the virus will give a strong boost to China-Russia relations after COVID-19.

只要中俄肩并肩站在一起，背靠背密切协作，世界和平稳定就会有坚实保障，国际公平正义就能得到切实维护。

With China and Russia standing shoulder-to-shoulder and working back-to-back, the world will be a safer and more stable place where justice and fairness are truly upheld.

中国援助

中华民族是一个崇尚感恩的民族，我们愿意投桃报李，回报各国人民对中国人民的情谊。中国也是一个愿意助人的国家，每当朋友陷入困境时，我们从来都不会袖手旁观。

We Chinese are a grateful nation. We are always ready to reciprocate acts of friendship and kindness from others. Moreover, China is always willing and ready to help others. When our friends are in distress, we never sit by and do nothing.

我们了解一些政治势力对中国的援助意图编造出各种负面的解读，但我们光明磊落，坦然处之。

We are aware that some political forces are mischaracterizing our intention. But we have done everything in the open and we have a clear conscience.

中国对外提供抗疫援助，不谋求任何地缘政治目标，没有任何经济利益的盘算，也从来没有附加任何政治条件。

Nothing we do to help other countries’ COVID-19 response is out of geopolitical calculation, or in pursuit of economic gains, or with any political strings attached.

我们的初衷只有一个，就是尽可能多地挽救无辜的生命；我们的信念始终如一，就是一个国家控制住疫情并不是疫情的终结，各国共同战胜了疫情才是真正的胜利。

In providing assistance, we have but one goal, that is to save as many lives as possible. We have but one belief, that is one country’s success does not mean the end of the global pandemic. It is only when the virus is defeated in all countries can we claim a true victory.

中国不是救世主，但我们愿做及时雨，是在朋友危难时同舟共济的真诚伙伴。

China is not a savior. But we try to be a friend in need, a sincere partner to be counted on in times of difficulty.

香港局势

香港事务是中国内政，不容任何外来干涉。不干涉内政是国际关系基本准则，各国都应予以遵守。

Hong Kong affairs are China’s internal affairs and allow no external interference. Non-interference, as a basic norm of international relations, must be observed by all countries.

维护国家安全在任何国家都是中央事权。中央政府对所有地方行政区域的国家安全负有最大和最终责任，这是基本的国家主权理论和原则，也是世界各国的通例。

The central government is responsible for upholding national security. This is the same in any country. The central government holds the primary and ultimate responsibility for national security in all sub-national administrative regions. This is the basic theory and principle underpinning national sovereignty and a common practice in countries around the globe.

外部势力深度非法干预香港事务，对国家安全造成了严重危害。建立健全香港特别行政区维护国家安全的法律制度和执行机制刻不容缓，势在必行。

Excessive unlawful foreign meddling in Hong Kong affairs has placed China’s national security in serious jeopardy. Under such circumstances, establishing a legal system and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong SAR has become a pressing priority. We must get it done without the slightest delay.

全国人大这一决定，针对的是极少数严重危害国家安全的行为，不影响香港的高度自治，不影响香港居民的权利和自由，不影响外国投资者在香港的正当权益。大家对香港的未来，应更加充满信心，而不必过于担心。决定通过之后，将启动立法程序，这将使香港有更加完备的法律体系、更加稳定的社会秩序、更加良好的法治和营商环境，有利于维护“一国两制”的基本方针，有利于维护香港的金融、贸易和航运中心地位。

The NPC decision is targeted at a narrow category of acts that seriously jeopardize national security. It does not affect the high degree of autonomy in Hong Kong. It does not affect the rights and freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kong residents. And it does not affect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors in Hong Kong. We have every reason to be more confident in Hong Kong’s future. There is no need for concern. The adoption of the decision will start a legislative procedure. This will improve Hong Kong’s legal system, and bring more stability, stronger rule of law, and a better business environment to Hong Kong. They will protect the basic principle of “one country, two systems”, as well as Hong Kong’s position as a global financial, trading and shipping center.

病毒源头调查

在病毒源头问题上，中方与美国一些政客之间的分歧，是真相与谎言的距离，是科学与偏见的对比。

Regarding the source of the virus, the difference between China and some US politicians is as wide as that between facts and lies, between science and prejudice.

历史应该由事实和真相来书写，而不应被谎言误导污染。我们应秉持良知和理智，为这次全球疫情叙事留下客观真实的人类集体记忆。

History should be written with facts, not tainted by lies. The global narrative about COVID-19 should reflect reason and conscience. Humanity has an obligation to leave behind an objective and truthful account as part of its collective memory.

中方对国际科学界开展病毒溯源科研合作持开放态度，这一进程应坚持专业性、公正性和建设性。

China is open to joint efforts by the international science community to identify the source of the virus. Importantly, it must be a professional, impartial and constructive process.

病毒溯源要排除各种政治干扰，尊重各国主权平等，反对任何“有罪推定”，考察应覆盖所有与疫情密切关联的国家，坚持公开透明和客观理性。

The process of identifying the source of the virus must be free from political interference, respect the sovereign equality of nations, and avoid a presumption of guilt. All countries closely related to the virus should be covered by field missions. The whole process should be open, transparent, objective and rational.

中欧关系

中欧不是制度性竞争对手，而是全方位战略伙伴。

China and the EU are not each other’s systemic rivals. They are comprehensive strategic partners.

中欧之间的交往应当是相互成就的正循环，而不是你输我赢的淘汰赛。

China-EU interaction should be a positive cycle that enables our mutual success, not a knock-out match which results in only one winner.

面对这场空前危机，中欧之间应超越意识形态的差异，摆脱自我实现的猜忌，发出团结一致、携手抗疫的共同声音。

COVID-19 is an unprecedented crisis. It requires China and the EU to rise above ideological differences, dispel self-fulfilling suspicions and send a common message of solidarity and cooperation.

对中国滥诉、追责

针对中国的各种“滥诉”，无事实基础、无法律依据、无国际先例，是彻头彻尾的“三无产品”。

The attempt to file frivolous lawsuits is a shoddy one, as it has zero basis in fact, law or international precedence.

中国的抗疫行动对全世界公开，时间经纬清清楚楚，事实数据一目了然，经得起时间与历史的检验。

China’s record of COVID-19 response is there for the world to see, with a clear timeline and solid data that will stand the test of time and history.

对受害者鼓噪所谓“追责索赔”，为滥诉者伪造各种所谓“证据”，是对国际法治的践踏，也是对人类良知的背弃，于实不符、于理不通、于法不容。

Some people are clamoring for so-called “accountability and compensation” from a victim of COVID-19 and fabricating so-called “evidence” for frivolous lawsuits. These people are trampling on international rule of law and betraying human conscience. Their action does not square with facts, stand up to reason or have any legal foundation.

今天的中国已不是百年前的中国，今天的世界也不是百年前的世界，如果想借滥诉侵犯中国的主权和尊严，敲诈中国人民的辛勤劳动成果，恐怕是白日做梦，必将自取其辱。

Today’s China is not what it used to be a hundred years ago, nor is the world anything like the one from a century ago. If anybody thought they could use some ludicrous lawsuits to undermine China’s sovereignty and dignity or to deprive the Chinese people of their hard-won gains, they’d be daydreaming and bring disgrace to themselves.

中日韩合作

三国民众守望相助，谱写了“山川异域、风月同天”、“道不远人、人无异国”的时代新篇。

The people of China, Japan and the ROK went to each other’s aid and left many touching stories that give true meaning to the verses “Though we live in different lands, the same moon and sky make us one” and “United by the same humanity, we forget our nationality”.

中日韩三国联合抗疫，为全球抗疫树立了样板，为国际社会增添了信心。

The joint response of China, Japan and the ROK to COVID-19 is providing a source of confidence and setting an example for the world.

中方愿与包括日韩在内的各国加强合作，争取早日彻底战胜疫情，重振东亚经济活力，为促进地区和世界发展贡献更多的东方智慧和力量。

China is prepared to work with Japan, the ROK and other countries in the region to completely defeat COVID-19 as soon as possible, restore economic vitality in East Asia, and promote development in our region and the world with Oriental wisdom and strength.

中国外交下步议程

疫情为各国交往按下了“暂停键”，但中国外交并没有止步，而是逆势前行，开启了“云外交”模式。

COVID-19 may have pressed the “pause” button on the interactions between countries, but China’s diplomacy has not paused for a moment. Despite COVID-19, China has engaged in what we call “cloud diplomacy” (in the form of phone calls, exchange of correspondence and video conferences).

疫情发生以来，习近平主席亲力亲为，以元首外交统领抗疫外交，以领袖担当推动国际合作。

President Xi Jinping has personally led China’s diplomatic efforts throughout this period. He has engaged with many world leaders and advanced international cooperation as a global statesman.

中国外交将在疫情防控常态化形势下整装再出发，聚焦五大任务，打造新亮点。

China’s diplomatic service will adapt to the new normal of COVID-19 response, focus on five priorities and create new highlights.

中国协助非洲抗疫

非洲是中国同呼吸、共命运的好兄弟。中非人民在民族解放斗争中并肩战斗，在共同发展道路上携手同行，在前几年抗击埃博拉疫情的合作中命运与共。在新冠疫情面前，中非继续患难与共、同心协力。

China and Africa are good brothers who have shared weal and woe together. Our people, having fought shoulder-to-shoulder for national liberation, are partners for common development. A few years back, we were together fighting Ebola. In the battle against COVID-19, China and Africa have again stood by each other.

中方将积极推动落实二十国集团“缓债倡议”，减轻非洲国家债务负担，并将考虑通过双边渠道为特别困难的非洲国家提供进一步的支持，帮助非洲兄弟姐妹渡过难关。

China will work with other G20 members to implement the debt service suspension initiative to ease Africa’s debt burden. China is also considering further bilateral support for African countries under the greatest strain to help our African brothers and sisters through this difficult time.

我们相信，在中非以及国际社会共同努力下，非洲这片年轻的大陆一定能在战胜疫情后实现更好和更快的发展。

We are convinced that with help from China and the rest of the global community, the youthful continent of Africa will achieve greater and faster development after defeating COVID-19.

中国外交服务国内发展

全面小康是百年目标，脱贫攻坚是千年梦想。这两大历史任务是2020年举国奋斗的坐标，也是外交战线全体同志的责任与担当。

Achieving moderate prosperity in all respects is a centenary goal of China, and eliminating extreme poverty has been our nation’s dream for thousands of years. The entire Chinese nation are working doubly hard to accomplish these two historic goals this year. All members of China’s diplomatic service are duty bound to contribute their share.

外交服务发展必须适应新形势，解决新问题，创造性地开展工作。要最大限度降低国际疫情对人民生命健康和经济社会发展的冲击，在与世界各国并肩抗疫的进程中不断开创新的发展机遇。

We in the foreign service must adapt to the new realities and think out of the box to solve new problems. We will strive to minimize the pandemic’s impact on our people’s life and health and on China’s economic and social development. We will look out for new opportunities of development from fighting COVID-19 with the rest of the world.

战狼外交

凡事都应有一个是非判断，人无是非，难以立信；国无是非，难以立世。

One has to have a sense of right and wrong. Without it, a person cannot be trusted, and a country cannot hold its own in the family of nations.

中国人爱好和平、崇尚和谐，以诚待人，以信为本。我们从来不会主动欺凌别人，但同时，中国人是有原则、有骨气的。对于蓄意的中伤，我们一定会作出有力回击，坚决捍卫国家的荣誉和民族尊严。对于无端的抹黑，我们一定会摆明事实真相，坚决维护公平正义和人类良知。

We Chinese value peace, harmony, sincerity and integrity. We never pick a fight or bully others, but we have principles and guts. We will push back against any deliberate insult to resolutely defend our national honor and dignity. And we will refute all groundless slander with facts to resolutely uphold fairness, justice and human conscience.

既然各国同在一个地球村，就应该和平共处，平等相待；就应该有事一起商量，而不是一两个国家说了算。

Since we live in the same global village, countries should get along peacefully and treat each other as equals. Decisions on global affairs should be made through consultations, not because one or two countries say so.

不管中国发展到什么程度，我们都不会在国际上称王称霸。那些总想给中国扣上霸权帽子的人，恰恰是自己抱着霸权不放的人。

No matter what stage of development it reaches, China will never seek hegemony. Those who go out of their way to label China as a hegemon are precisely the ones who refuse to let go of their hegemonic status.

希望各国能够本着人类命运共同体的理念，相互之间多一些支持、少一点指责；多一些合作，少一点对抗，大家真正携起手来，共同为世界开辟更加美好的未来。

We hope all countries will realize that humanity is a community with a shared future. We must render each other more support and cooperation, and there should be less accusation and confrontation. We call on all nations to come together and build a better world for all.

世卫组织作用

公道自在人心，世卫组织的国际地位和历史评价，不会因为个别国家的好恶而改变。给世卫组织泼脏水的人只会弄脏他们自己。

As for WHO’s international standing and its place in history, I’m sure clear-eyed people the world over will reach a fair conclusion, one that will not be altered just because some country doesn’t like it. Those who throw mud at WHO will only leave a stain on themselves.

事实证明，重视并遵循世卫组织建议开展抗疫工作的国家，疫情就会得到较为有效的管控。忽视和排斥世卫组织建议的国家，则为此付出了沉重代价。

What we are seeing is this: those countries that heeded and followed WHO advice are more successful in bringing the virus under control, while those that ignored or rejected its advice are paying a heavy price.

世卫组织是194个主权国家组成的国际机构，不可能只为某一个国家服务，更不应是哪个国家出的钱多，就屈从于哪个国家的意志。

WHO is an international body made up of 194 sovereign states. It does not serve any particular country, and it should not defer to any country that provides more funding than others.

生命至上，救人第一。支持世卫组织，就是支持拯救生命。这是任何有良知的国家都应做出的选择。

Nothing is more precious than people’s lives; nothing is more important than saving lives. To support WHO is to support saving lives. I believe all countries with decency will choose to do so.

疫情当前，任何对世卫组织的打压甚至讹诈，都缺乏最起码的人道精神，都不会被国际社会所接受。

In the face of COVID-19, those attempts to attack or blackmail WHO are lacking in basic humanity and will be rejected by the international community.

“一带一路”合作

疫情对“一带一路”合作造成的影响是暂时的，也是局部的。经过疫情考验，共建“一带一路”的基础将更加牢固，动力将更加充沛，前景将更加广阔。

The impact of COVID-19 on BRI cooperation is temporary and limited. COVID-19 will only strengthen and re-energize Belt and Road cooperation and open up new possibilities.

“一带一路”的基础来自于为各国人民带来的切身利益，动力来自于各国共同发展的坚定决心，前景来自于不断开辟新的合作领域。

Belt and Road cooperation is built on its real benefits to the people in partner countries. It is driven by a strong and shared commitment to common development. The future of the Belt and Road Initiative lies in expanding the cooperation to new areas.

中国与各国携手推进“一带一路”的信心不减，决心未变，我们将继续秉持共商共建共享原则，坚持开放、绿色、廉洁理念，努力实现高标准、惠民生、可持续目标，将“一带一路”打造成一条发展之路、合作之路、健康之路。

China is as confident and determined as ever to promote Belt and Road cooperation. We will continue to follow the principle of consultation and cooperation for shared benefits, and support open, green and clean development. By aiming for high-standard, people-centered and sustainable progress, we will make the Belt and Road a model of development, cooperation and health for all involved.

中国与东盟关系

无论亚洲金融危机，还是国际金融危机，每一次危机都让中国东盟关系更加紧密、中国东盟合作更加强劲。

From the Asian financial crisis to the global financial crisis, each crisis has led to closer ties and stronger cooperation between China and ASEAN.

我们相信，进入而立之年的中国—东盟关系将更加成熟自信，双方建设更为紧密命运共同体的步伐将更加稳健有力。

We are convinced that with the maturity and confidence this relationship has gained in the past three decades, China and ASEAN will take more solid steps forward in forging a closer community with a shared future.

今年第一季度，中国和东盟的货物贸易总额增长6.1%，东盟首次成为中国最大贸易伙伴。这是我们在共同挑战面前为彼此发展前景投出的“信心票”。

In the first quarter of this year, our trade in goods grew 6.1 percent, making ASEAN China’s biggest trading partner. This is a vote of confidence in each other’s development prospects even though we are confronted by a common challenge.

那些无法将我们打倒的事物只会让我们变得更加强大，经历风雨之后我们会更有力量。

What does not kill us makes us stronger, and we are stronger in the broken places.

朝鲜半岛局势

真正解决半岛问题，既要“坐而论道”，更要“起而行之”。

To achieve a genuine settlement of issues on the Korean Peninsula, it is important to not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk.

半岛核问题解决思路已经明确，不要再流失解决问题的难得机遇。

The general outline of a settlement for the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is clear. The rare opportunity for solving the issue should not be missed again.

涉台问题

台湾民众是我们的骨肉同胞，我们关心台湾岛内的疫情变化，牵挂台湾同胞的健康安全。

The people in Taiwan are our fellow compatriots. We have closely followed the COVID-19 developments in Taiwan, and we send our best wishes for the health of our Taiwan compatriots.

台湾当局罔顾民生福祉，不承认两岸同属一个中国的九二共识，自行关闭了两岸协商处理涉外问题的大门。

It’s the Taiwan authorities who have turned a blind eye to their people’s well-being. Turning its back on the 1992 Consensus that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same China, they have shut the door to cross-Strait consultation on Taiwan’s external activities.

两岸实现统一是历史必然趋势，任何人任何势力都不可能阻挡。

Reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is the trend of history. No individual or force can stop it from happening.

我们敦促美方充分认清台湾问题的高度敏感性，奉劝美方丢掉不切实际的幻想，放下国内政治的算计，正告美方不要试图挑战中国的底线。

We urge the US side to fully appreciate the great sensitivity of the Taiwan question. We advise the US side to ditch its illusions and political calculations. We ask the US side not to make any attempt to challenge China’s red line.

南海局势及准则磋商

认为中国利用疫情在南海扩大存在的说法完全是无稽之谈。

There is nothing to support the claim that China is using COVID-19 to expand its presence in the South China Sea.

装载着抗疫物资的船只、飞机在南海往来穿梭，南海正在成为中国与东盟国家携手抗疫的互助之海、合作之海。

Ships and planes carrying critical supplies are sailing in and flying over the South China Sea, a body of water that’s witnessing mutual assistance and cooperation between China and ASEAN countries.

少数域外国家向南海增派军机军舰炫耀武力，处心积虑破坏南海得来不易的稳定局面，居心不良，令人不齿。

A few countries outside the region are flexing their muscles by sending military aircraft and vessels to the South China Sea. Their ill-intentioned and despicable moves are meant to undermine the hard-won stability in the region.

中国与东盟国家已就早日达成“南海行为准则”形成明确共识，我们实现这一目标的信心和决心是坚定的，不会受到外界的任何干扰破坏。

China and ASEAN countries have agreed to conclude the COC at an early date, a goal we are confident and determined to achieve. No external interference can distract or sabotage our efforts.

领事保护

外交部和驻外使领馆紧急行动，全力以赴，在全球范围内开展了一场前所未有的领保专项行动。

The Foreign Ministry and Chinese diplomatic and consular missions all over the world have swung into action and worked all out on an unprecedented operation to provide consular protection to Chinese nationals wherever they are in the world.

疫情发生以来，海外中国公民一直是祖国母亲心头的牵挂。

Since the start of COVID-19, the well-being of overseas Chinese nationals has been dear to the heart of the motherland.

海外同胞虽然身在异乡，但祖国永远在你们身后，驻外使领馆时刻与你们同在。

A word to our fellow Chinese abroad: Whatever happens, the motherland is always behind you, and the Chinese diplomatic and consular missions will always be there for you.

外交为民是我们始终不渝的宗旨。在这几个月的特殊时间里，每一位驻外使节，每一位使领馆工作人员，都以高度的责任感，坚守在自己的工作岗位，不畏感染风险，甘愿牺牲奉献。

Serving the people is the abiding mission of Chinese diplomats. The past few months have been an extraordinary time for us. Our entire diplomatic service, from heads of mission to everyone in our embassies and consulates, have acted with a strong sense of responsibility and dedication to their job. They have braved the risk of infection and readily made sacrifices.

阿富汗局势

当前阿富汗局势快速演变，前所未有地接近实现和平，但前进的道路并不平坦。

The fast-moving events in recent months have taken Afghanistan closer to peace than ever. But the road ahead is far from smooth.

阿富汗人民有权利摆脱战争的阴霾，追求幸福的生活。作为友邻和兄弟，中国人民一直与阿富汗人民坚定地站在一起。

The Afghan people are entitled to a better life free from the shadow of war. As close neighbors and brothers, the Chinese people have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them.

外交助力湖北抗疫与发展

在这场艰苦卓绝的战斗中，湖北和武汉人民付出了巨大努力和牺牲，为全国乃至世界抗疫斗争作出了重大贡献。

In this extraordinary battle, the people of Hubei and Wuhan have made enormous efforts and sacrifices as well as a significant contribution to the COVID-19 response in and beyond China.

代表外交战线全体同志，向英雄的湖北人民和武汉人民致以崇高敬意！

On behalf of the entire diplomatic service, I wish to pay high tribute to the heroic people of Hubei and Wuhan!

外交部愿意专门再为湖北举办一次特别的全球推介活动，向世界各国展示浴火重生、凤凰涅槃的湖北和武汉，也让世界人民更加了解湖北，支持武汉。

The Foreign Ministry would love to hold a special promotion event to showcase the new Hubei and Wuhan that have emerged stronger from COVID-19. This will be a major opportunity for the world to know more about Hubei and give more support to Wuhan.
