A You were saying there's a linkage between the fire and beef? The correlation is new to me.

问据报道，针对美方此前开展陆基中短程导弹试验，俄罗斯总统普京指示国防和外交部门研究应对之策，准备做好“对称反应”。中方对此有何评论？中方认为美方行为将对国际和地区安全造成什么影响？
Q According to reports, Russian President Putin instructed the defense and foreign ministries to analyze the threat posed to the country by the recent US ground-launched cruise missile test and prepare a "symmetrical response". In your point of view, how will this affect security situation in the region and in the world?
答中方注意到有关报道。自8月2日美方宣布正式退出《中导条约》以来不到三周时间，美国防部就开展此前受条约禁止的陆基中短程导弹试验。这充分说明，美国退约的真实目的是寻求“自我松绑”，放手发展先进武器，谋求单方面军事优势。
A We note relevant reports. Less than three weeks after the official US withdrawal from the INF treaty, the Pentagon conducted the ground-based cruise missile test that was banned under the treaty. This fully reveals that the US withdrawal was meant to free itself to develop advanced weaponry and seek unilateral military advantage.
美方此举将引发新一轮军备竞赛，导致军事对抗升级，进而对国际和地区安全形势产生严重消极影响。我们奉劝美方摒弃冷战思维和零和博弈的过时观念，对发展军备保持克制，切实维护现有军控体系，多做有利于维护全球战略平衡与稳定、有利于国际和地区和平与安全的事。
The US move will trigger a new round of arms race and lead to an escalation of military confrontation, which will have a serious impact on the international and regional security landscape. We advise it to discard the obsolete Cold War mentality and zero-sum game mindset, exercise self-restraint on arms development, uphold the existing arms control regime and contribute to global strategic balance and stability and international and regional peace and security.
