答我和我的商务部同事昨天都已经对此作出明确评论。我们认为美方这一做法是十分错误的。美方出于政治目的，泛化国家安全概念，滥用出口管制措施，对特定企业采取歧视性做法，完全违背市场规则和公平原则。我们认为这也不符合美方自身利益。就中方而言，我们当然会采取一切必要措施，坚决维护中国企业的合法权益。

A My colleague from the Ministry of Commerce and I myself both made clear responses to this question yesterday. We believe this is a wrong practice of the US side. Out of political motives, the US abuses export control measures and takes discriminatory measures on certain companies while making "national security" a catch-all phrase. This is entirely against market rules and the principle of fairness, which does not serve the interests of the US either. It is only natural for China to take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.

答关于第二个问题，我们在这里说过，中美两国元首一直通过各种方式保持着联系。目前我没有可以向你发布的消息。

A To answer your second question, like we said at this podium, the two Presidents have maintained contact through various means. I have nothing to update you at the moment.

同时我们认为，磋商如果要有意义，就必须要有诚意。考虑到美方在此前中美经贸磋商中的一些做法，我们认为应当要遵循两点，一是必须要有原则，必须相互尊重、平等互利；二是要守信用。

As we believe, it takes sincerity to make a consultation meaningful. Judging from what the US did in previous talks, there are two things we have to make clear. First, we need to follow the principle of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. Second, words must be matched with deeds.

答贝聿铭先生是享誉世界的华裔建筑设计大师，长期以来为促进中美两国人民的相互了解和东西方文化的交流互鉴做出了重要贡献。我们对贝聿铭先生逝世表示深切哀悼，向贝聿铭先生的家人表示诚挚慰问。

A As a world-renown Chinese-born architect, Mr Ieoh Ming Pei made important contributions to mutual understanding between the Chinese and American people, and exchanges and mutual learning between Eastern and Western cultures. We'd like to offer deep condolences on the passing of Mr Pei and sincere sympathy to his family.

答我没有情况可以提供。中日双方保持高层交往，当然对两国关系发展有重要推动作用。希望双方共同为此营造良好氛围和环境。

A I don't have anything to say about that. High-level exchange certainly serves as an important driver for China-Japan relations. I hope both sides can make joint efforts to create favorable atmosphere and environment for it.
