新冠肺炎疫情发生后，中国全国万众一心、众志成城，采取了最全面、最严格、最彻底的防控举措。经过艰苦努力，目前疫情防控形势积极向好的态势正在拓展，经济社会发展加快恢复。我们完全有信心、有能力、有把握打赢这场疫情防控阻击战。同时也要看到，目前中国的疫情防控形势依然严峻复杂，还具有很大的不确定性，仍然面临着反弹的巨大压力，我们将毫不松懈地严格落实各项防控措施，继续巩固国内疫情防控已经取得的成效。

Since the epidemic broke out, the whole country is waging a united battle against it with the most comprehensive, rigorous and thorough measures. Thanks to these arduous efforts, the situation is increasingly trending in a positive direction and the recovery of economic and social development is being expedited. We are confident that we can and will win the fight. That being said, we need to be aware that the situation remains severe and complicated, with high uncertainty and strong pressure of a rebound. We will work relentlessly to implement every prevention and control measure to consolidate current results.

答我们注意到有关的报道。中方正密切关注全球新冠肺炎疫情发展的形势，对部分疫情加剧的国家目前面临的困难感同身受。新冠肺炎疫情是全人类面临的共同挑战，需要国际社会通力合作，携手应对。中方将继续秉持人类命运共同体理念，积极开展抗疫国际和地区合作，深入参与国际公共卫生治理。我们将继续同世界卫生组织紧密合作，同相关国家保持密切沟通，分享防疫经验，协调防控措施，共同维护地区和世界公共卫生安全。

A We have noted relevant reports. China is closely following the global developments of the COVID-19 epidemic. We relate to the difficulties some countries are going through as the situation there is getting more severe. The virus is a common challenge for humanity which calls for the joint response by the international community. Upholding the spirit of a community with a shared future, China will work actively with other parties at regional and global levels and participate more in international public health governance. We will also continue to work closely with the WHO and maintain close communication with relevant countries to share experience and coordinate response in a joint effort to safeguard regional and global public health security.

答中方欢迎美国和塔利班签约，认为这对推动政治解决阿富汗问题具有积极意义。中方坚定支持“阿人主导、阿人所有”的广泛包容性和平和解进程，希望以美塔签约为契机，和平的种子能够在阿富汗落地生根。外国在阿富汗驻军应有序、负责任地撤出，确保阿富汗局势平稳过渡，避免出现安全真空，尤其应防止恐怖组织在阿趁势坐大。同时，国际社会应该继续支持和参与阿富汗和平重建进程。中方呼吁阿塔及阿富汗国内各方抓住机遇，尽快开启阿人内部谈判，共商各方都能接受的阿富汗未来政治、安全安排，共同为实现阿持久和平稳定作出努力。中方愿同国际社会一道，继续为推动阿富汗和平和解进程提供支持与帮助。

A China welcomes the signing of this agreement between the US and Taliban, which we believe will play a positive role in promoting a political settlement of the Afghan issue. China firmly supports a broad and inclusive peace and reconciliation process that is "Afghan-led and Afghan-owned". We hope that the agreement between the US and the Taliban will enable the seed of peace to take root in Afghanistan. Foreign troops should withdraw in an orderly and responsible way so that the situation in Afghanistan will experience a steady transition with no security vacuum for terrorist forces to seize upon and expand themselves. Meanwhile, the international community should continue to support and engage in the Afghan peace and reconstruction process. China calls on the Taliban and other parties in Afghanistan to act upon this opportunity and launch intra-Afghan negotiations at an early date so that they can together make political and security plans that are acceptable to all and contribute to the realization of enduring peace and stability in Afghanistan. China stands ready to work with the international community and continue to offer our support and assistance to the peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan.

答美方打着所谓人权、自由的幌子，公然干预香港法治和司法独立，粗暴干涉香港事务，我们对此表示强烈不满和坚决反对。我们敦促美方切实尊重香港法治和司法独立，停止为反中乱港分子撑腰打气，停止干预香港事务和中国内政，多做些有利于香港繁荣稳定的事情。

A With human rights and freedom as pretexts, the US blatantly intervenes in Hong Kong's rule of law and judicial independence and flagrantly interferes with its affairs. We deplore and reject this. We urge the US to respect Hong Kong's rule of law and judicial independence, stop endorsing anti-China Hong Kong disruptors or meddling in China's domestic affairs including those related to Hong Kong, and instead contribute to its stability and prosperity.
