中英对照:2023年8月18日外交部发言人汪文斌主持例行记者会 [3]

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin’s Regular Press Conference on August 18, 2023 [3]

东方卫视记者近日,在黑龙江省牡丹江市举行的学术研讨会上,《日军哈尔滨第一陆军病院原簿》首次对外公布。这份原始资料对研究日军陆军医院参与活体解剖犯罪情况具有重要史料价值。发言人对此有何评论?
Dragon TV At a recent academic seminar held in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang province, the “Original File of the First Army Hospital of the Japanese Army in Harbin” met the public for the first time. The file provides important historical evidence for the involvement of the Hospital of the Japanese Army in the crime of vivisection. What’s your comment? 
汪文斌第二次世界大战期间,侵华日军公然违反国际法,对中国人民发动了令人发指的细菌战,进行了惨无人道的人体活体试验,犯下了反人类的滔天罪行。你提到的有关历史资料再次表明,日本军国主义发动细菌战的事实铁证如山,不容否认和抵赖。日方应正视并深刻反省日本军国主义侵略历史,以史为鉴,消除遗毒,不要重蹈覆辙。
Wang Wenbin During WWII, in blatant violation of international law, the Japanese army launched horrendous bacterial warfare against the Chinese people. They conducted barbaric human experimentation, and committed heinous crimes against humanity during their aggression against China. The historical file you mentioned is yet another piece of solid proof of the bacterial warfare launched by Japanese militarists. There’s no room for denial. Japan needs to earnestly face up to and reflect on its history of militarist aggression, draw lessons from it, root out the toxic legacy of militarism, and never let history repeat itself.
路透社记者据报道,朝鲜与北京之间的航班最早将于下周恢复。发言人能否确认?
Reuters According to media reports, flights between North Korea and Beijing are set to resume as early as next week. Can you confirm this?
汪文斌目前我没有可以提供的信息。
Wang Wenbin I have nothing to share at the moment.
《中国日报》记者近日,外媒引用卫星图片称,中方近几周正在中建岛修建一个简易机场。外交部能否证实?修建这个机场的目的是什么?
China Daily Foreign media reported recently that satellite photos show China has been building an airstrip on Zhongjian Dao in the past few weeks. Can the foreign ministry confirm this? What is the purpose of building the airstrip?
汪文斌首先我要指出的是,相关报道与事实不符。中建岛是中国西沙群岛的一部分,是中国固有领土。中方在本国领土上开展建设活动正当合法,无可非议。
Wang Wenbin I need to first of all point out that this report is inconsistent with facts. Zhongjian Dao is part of China’s Xisha Qundao, which has all along been part of China’s territory. China’s construction activities on its own territory are legitimate, lawful and beyond reproach.
澎湃新闻记者据报道,美国国防部17日发布《2023年生物防御态势评估》报告,将中国列为关键长期威胁,质疑中方对现有禁止生物战国际规则的遵约情况,对中方加速整合军民两用生物研究计划提出关切。中方对此有何评论?
The Paper US Department of Defense issued the 2023 Biodefense Posture Review, which reportedly singles out China as the key long-term threat, casting doubt on Beijing’s compliance with existing international rules on biowarfare and raising concerns over its accelerated plans to integrate civilian biological research programs into the military. What is your comment?
汪文斌我注意到有关报告。美国出于地缘政治目的,经常编造所谓“威胁”,借机遏制打压别国,维护一己霸权私利。这种做法违背时代潮流,损害的是国际社会的共同利益。
Wang Wenbin I noted the reports. To serve its geopolitical agenda, the US often comes up with so-called “threats” to create the pretext for containing and suppressing other countries in order to ensure its supremacy and seek selfish gains. Such a practice goes against the trend of the times and harms the common interests of the international community.
生物安全是全球性问题,美方编造谎言、挑动对抗,严重破坏以《禁止生物武器公约》为基石的生物安全治理体系,损害国际社会携手应对生物安全风险挑战的努力。
Biosecurity is a global issue. The US’s false narratives and moves to stoke confrontation seriously jeopardize the biosecurity governance system with the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) as the cornerstone and the global response to biosecurity risks and challenges.
就生物安全威胁而言,美国恰恰是世界上生物军事活动数量最多、疑点最多的国家。近年来,美方始终没有对国际社会的关切作出有意义的回应。例如,美国加入《禁止生物武器公约》后,是否仍在暗中发展生物战能力?美国搞生物防御的真实意图是什么?有没有利用其他国家,开展不符合《禁止生物武器公约》和美国国内法的活动?从全球搜集的生物信息和样本用于什么用途?为什么美国独家反对建立生物武器核查机制?
When it comes to biosecurity threats, the US is the most active and suspected country in conducting bio-military activities. The US has never given a meaningful response to the international community’s concerns. For example, has the US been secretly developing its biological warfare capabilities even after it joined the BWC? What’s the US truly up to by investing in what it calls biodefense? Has the US ever used other countries for activities that are inconsistent with the BWC and US domestic laws? Why does the US collect biometric data and samples from around the world and what have they been used for? Why does the US oppose establishing a bioweapon verification mechanism while all other countries have agreed to it?
