答我们注意到了耶鲁大学苏必德校长的声明。事实上，发表类似声明的远不止耶鲁大学一家。大家可能都还记得，去年12月中美元首阿根廷会晤时，特朗普总统向习近平主席明确表示，欢迎中国留学生赴美留学。但令人遗憾的是，一段时间以来，美方一些部门、机构毫无依据、不择手段地对正常的中美人文交流进行限制、设置障碍，对中美正常的人员往来和人文交流产生严重干扰，坦率地讲，这不符合两国人民的愿望，也引发了中美两国学界乃至社会各界的广泛担忧。

A We have noted President Peter Salovey's statement. In fact, Yale is not alone in making such statements. As you may recall, in December last year, President Trump explicitly told President Xi during their meeting in Argentina that Chinese students are welcome to study in the US. But to our regret, without any cause, certain US departments and agencies have been using every means possible to restrict and obstruct normal people-to-people exchange between China and the US, which has seriously affected our communication and cooperation. Frankly, such practices go against our peoples' aspiration and have raised concerns from academic and other communities in both countries.

中方始终认为，保持人员往来与人文交往是促进中美各领域交流与合作的基础，符合两国人民的共同愿望，不应当人为地把它政治化或施加干扰。希望美国政府的某些人士能够回归理性，尊重民意，多做有利于促进中美人民相互了解和友谊的事情。

China believes that as a common aspiration of both peoples, cultural and people-to-people exchange should not be politicized or disrupted as it is an important basis for bilateral communication and cooperation. We hope certain US officials can come back to reason, respect people's will and contribute to mutual understanding and friendship between us.

答一段时间以来，美方、包括一些高层人士在内，围绕中美经贸磋商有过各种各样的说法，有的时候说很快要达成协议，有的时候又说达成协议可能有困难。你可以回顾一下，就在同一时期，中方的表态始终是一致的：第一，我们始终认为,两个国家之间的任何分歧，包括中美在经贸领域的分歧,当然应该通过友好协商和磋商谈判解决；第二，我们始终坚持,中美之间的经贸磋商必须基于相互尊重和平等互利的原则。

A Recently certain US individuals including some high-level officials have made various comments on China-US trade talks. Sometimes they say a deal is just around the corner and sometimes they say the situation may be difficult. As you may recall, over the same period of time, China's position remains consistent. First, we believe that differences between two countries, including the differences in trade between China and the US, should be resolved through friendly consultation and negotiation. Second, we are committed to the principle of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit as the basis of trade talks.

答我不知道你有没有跟踪过近期外交部的相关表态。我们已经非常清楚地表明，香港特区政府作出修订《逃犯条例》和《刑事事宜相互法律协助条例》的决定，既是为了解决已经发生的现实个案，也是为了完善特区现有法律体系，无可非议。少数外国政府把这个问题政治化、企图拿它做文章，明显是在干涉中国内政。外交部驻香港特派员公署已就此明确表明了中方的反对立场。我也可以告诉你，中方确实已向有关国家政府提出了交涉，要求他们不得染指中国香港特别行政区的内部事务。

A I don't know if you have followed our recent statements. As we clearly stated, by amending the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Ordinance, the Hong Kong SAR government aims to address existing individual cases and improve the existing SAR legal system, which is beyond reproach. The attempt of a few foreign governments to politicize this matter and make an issue of it is clearly an interference in China's internal affairs. The MFA Commissioner's Office in Hong Kong has made clear China's opposition to it. We have indeed made representations to the relevant governments and asked them not to interfere in Hong Kong SAR's internal affairs.

答首先，我要纠正一下，鉴于美国政府已经明确承认，中华人民共和国政府是代表中国的唯一合法政府，并承诺它与台湾只是保持非官方的往来，所以不存在所谓李大维先生与博尔顿先生是“对应官员”一说。

A Before answering your question, I need to correct you on one point. In light of the US government's explicit recognition of the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal representative of China and its commitment that it only maintains unofficial exchange with Taiwan, Mr. David Lee is by no means the "counterpart" of Mr. Bolton.
