中国和巴基斯坦是全天候战略合作伙伴和“铁杆”兄弟。中国自2011年起成为巴基斯坦最大贸易伙伴。近年巴基斯坦对华出口也在快速增长。我们愿同巴方继续加强跨境电子商务和数字贸易合作，支持更多巴基斯坦优质特色产品进入中国市场，用实实在在的行动推动双边经贸合作高质量发展，为两国人民带来更多福祉。

China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners and iron-clad brothers. China has been Pakistan’s largest trading partner since 2011, and Pakistan’s export to China has been expanding rapidly in recent years. We stand ready to work with Pakistan to step up cooperation on cross-border e-commerce and digital trade, facilitate more premium Pakistani specialties in entering China’s market, take real actions to promote high-quality development of bilateral economic and trade cooperation and bring more benefits to the two peoples.

赵立坚你刚才提到的有关法案在本质上属于美国国内立法，但我们坚决反对美方借有关法案夹带通过涉华消极内容、或进行政治操弄拿中国说事。我们敦促美方摒弃过时的冷战零和思维和意识形态偏见，客观理性看待中国发展和中美关系，不得将有关法案针对中国、损害中方利益的消极内容和条款付诸实施，不得损害中美关系大局和双方在重要领域的合作。

Zhao Lijian The act you were referring to is essentially domestic legislation of the US. However, we firmly oppose the US slipping in negative content concerning China or making an issue out of China for political manipulation. We urge it to discard the obsolete Cold War zero-sum mentality and ideological bias and look at China’s development and China-US relations in an objective and rational light. It shall not implement negative content and articles in the act that target China and damage Chinese interests or hurt overall bilateral ties and cooperation in important areas.

赵立坚美国之音一贯罔顾客观事实，戴着有色眼镜看中国。我们要想从他们的报道中听到几句说中国的好话，可谓是“难于上青天”。有意思的是，不久前，一位曾为美国之音工作的记者表示，他来到中国之后，才意识到他从前每天念的美国之音新闻稿和中国的真实情况截然相反。他还表示美国之音一些负责人因为提倡增加对华正面报道而被撤换。可以想象，一群不想真正了解中国的人为美国之音工作，连篇累牍地报道评论中国，这真是细思极恐。

Zhao Lijian The VOA always turns a blind eye to facts and views China with prejudice. It wouldn’t have any good word for China in its reports, not by any stretch of the imagination. It is also interesting that a journalist who worked for the VOA recently said that when he came to China, he realized that the real situation is the opposite of what he read to his VOA audience every single day. He added that the recent leadership of the VOA was changed because they were promoting more pro-China news. It’s deeply troubling that the VOA hire people who don’t care to understand China as it is to comment and report on China with lengthy and extensive coverage.

我想补充强调的是，搞政治化是美国的“优良传统”。中国人权研究会昨天发布《美国人权政治化行径毁损人权善治根基》研究报告。报告强调，美国无论是早期对人权的漠视甚至拒斥，还是后期热衷于挥舞人权大棒，侵犯他国主权，美国都把人权变成推行外交政策的工具。美国和美国之音推行人权政治化，给世界带来灾难性影响，把一个又一个国家推入社会动荡的深渊。世界各国人民只会越来越认清美国所谓“人权卫士”面具之下的真面目。

I want to stress furthermore that politicization is a “fine tradition” of the US. The China Society for Human Rights Studies (CSHRS) published a report titled “US Politicization of Human Rights Erodes Foundations of Human Rights Governance” yesterday. It underscored that the US has always viewed human rights as a tool to promote its foreign policy, both when it snubbed and rejected the subject in the early stage and when it wielded human rights to infringe upon other countries’ sovereignty later. The politicization of human rights by the US and the VOA have had a devastating impact on the world, pushing one country after another into the abyss of social turmoil. People across the world will only see with increasing clarity the true face of the US hidden behind the mask of “human rights defender”.

赵立坚首先我要告诉你的是，台湾没有外交部，只有台湾省的外事负责部门。世界上只有一个中国，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分，中华人民共和国政府自成立起就是代表包括台湾在内的全中国的唯一合法政府，这是不可动摇的历史和法理事实。根据尊重国家主权和领土完整等国际法基本原则，中国的全部国家财产，无论是在中国境内还是在海外，其所有权应归于中华人民共和国政府。中方上述主张在多年外交实践中已经得到广泛认可。

Zhao Lijian First I need to point out that there is no “Ministry of Foreign Affairs” in Taiwan, only provincial authorities in charge of foreign affairs. There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. Ever since its founding, the Government of the People’s Republic of China has been the sole legal government representing the whole of China, Taiwan included. This is an unshakable historical and legal fact. According to basic principles of international law including respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity, all state assets of China, whether in China or overseas, are property of the PRC Government. This has been widely recognized throughout many years of diplomatic practice.
