赵立坚蓬佩奥有关言论无视基本事实，对中方进行无端攻击抹黑，中方对此坚决反对。

Zhao Lijian Pompeo wants to attack and slander China with these nonsense. China firmly opposes his remarks which show no regard for facts.

非洲是中国同呼吸、共命运的好兄弟。在新冠肺炎疫情面前，中非患难与共、同心协力。近日，中非团结抗疫特别峰会成功举行。习近平主席在峰会上提出一系列重要倡议和主张，受到非洲国家普遍欢迎。疫情对世界经济造成严重冲击，给非洲国家带来严峻挑战。中方愿同国际社会一道，加大对非洲国家支持力度，积极推动落实二十国集团“缓债倡议”。目前已有一些非洲国家向中方提出了缓债申请，我们已就具体事宜加紧对接协商，努力帮助非洲国家减轻债务负担、渡过难关。

Africa is China's good brother sharing weal and woe . We have been standing by each other in the joint fight against COVID-19. At the Extraordinary China-Africa Summit on Solidarity Against COVID-19, a successful virtual gathering held recently, President Xi Jinping announced a series of important initiatives and proposals which have been well received by African countries. COVID-19 dealt  a heavy blow to the world economy and African countries are confronted with severe challenges. China will work with the international community to step up support for African countries and earnestly act on the G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative. Some African countries have applied for such suspension with  China. And we are now working on the specific details through close coordination and consultation to ease the ir debt burden and help them tide over the difficulties.

深圳卫视记者据报道，6月24日，美国总统国家安全事务助理奥布莱恩发表涉华演讲，在一系列问题上指责中国。中方对此有何评论？

Shenzhen TV On June 24, US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien criticized China on a range of issues in a  speech. Do you have any comments?

新中国成立71年来，中国人民在中国共产党领导下，走出了一条适合中国国情的发展道路，取得了举世瞩目的伟大成就，这是有目共睹的事实。美国有关政客的涉华言论违背基本事实，违背国际关系基本准则，暴露了其根深蒂固的冷战思维和意识形态偏见。美方对自身存在的各种严重问题熟视无睹，却对别国指手画脚，其目的是企图转移国内民众视线，掩盖自身的问题。对此，中国人民和国际社会看得一清二楚。

Since the People's Republic of China was founded 71 years ago, the Chinese people, under the leadership of the CPC, have found a development path consistent with the country's national realities and achieved great progress to the amazement of the world. These are facts witnessed by all. This US politician's comments on China, inconsistent with basic facts and in violation of the basic norms governing international relations, expose his deep-seated Cold-War mindset and ideological bias. Turning a blind eye to serious domestic problems, the US points the finger at others in an effort  to distract American people's attention and cover up its own defects . B ut its attempt has already been seen through by the Chinese people and the larger international community.
