路透社记者昨天，前苏联领导人戈尔巴乔夫去世。中国社交媒体对此反响强烈。比如，戈尔巴乔夫去世的新闻在微博平台上成为最热门的话题。中方对此有何评论？
Reuters Former USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev passed away yesterday prompting a strong reaction on Chinese social media platforms. News of his passing was the most followed issue on Weibo for example. Does the foreign ministry have any comment?

凤凰卫视记者马来西亚前总理马哈蒂尔近期表示，中国对于马来西亚和东盟来说是巨大的市场，因此维护对华经济关系是至关重要的。他还说中国不会占领他国，因此东盟国家也应该对华靠拢，来远离其他对中国的挑衅。请问发言人对此有何评论？
Phoenix TV Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said recently that China was a “big market” for Malaysia and ASEAN and maintaining that economic relationship was crucial. He said that China’s philosophy was not to occupy nations and urged ASEAN countries to move closer to China and stay away from others' provocation of China. Do you have any comment?
赵立坚我注意到了有关报道。我也听说马哈蒂尔先生感染了新冠病毒。我们祝愿他早日康复。
Zhao Lijian I have noted relevant reports. I also heard that Mr. Mahathir Mohamad had contracted COVID-19. We wish him a speedy recovery.
中国东盟建立对话关系30多年来，中国东盟关系始终一马当先、双方同心抗疫共克时艰、经贸合作风生水起、安全合作稳步前行，取得了很多合作成果和亮点。中国东盟互为最大贸易伙伴，今年1月至7月，双方贸易额达到5449亿美元，同比增长13.1%，为双方20亿民众带来实实在在的利益。中方一贯主张发展不针对第三方的包容性伙伴关系，反对逼迫别国选边站队。域外国家应切实尊重地区国家的利益和愿望，让亚太地区成为互利合作的“大舞台”，而不是零和博弈的“竞技场”。
Since the establishment of dialogue relations over 30 years ago, China-ASEAN relations have stayed ahead in many areas. The two sides have been standing together in solidarity to fight COVID-19. The economic cooperation and trade has thrived. Security cooperation has been making steady progress. Our cooperation has yielded many good outcomes and highlights. China and ASEAN are each other’s largest trading partners. From January to July this year, two-way trade totaled $544.9 billion, up by 13.1% year-on-year, delivering tangible benefits to the two billion people on both sides. China always advocates developing inclusive partnerships not targeting any third party and opposes forcing other countries to pick sides. Countries outside the region should earnestly respect regional countries’ interests and desire and make the Asia-Pacific a large arena for mutually-beneficial cooperation instead of a wrestling ground for zero-sum rivalry.
