美国是世界上拥有最大、最先进核武库的国家，坚持首先使用核武器，持续投入巨资升级“三位一体”核力量，推进战略力量前沿部署，强化对盟友的“延伸威慑”。这些政策、行动加剧核军备竞赛与核冲突风险，只会恶化全球战略安全环境。我们敦促美方摒弃冷战思维和霸权逻辑，客观、理性看待中国战略意图和国防建设，停止年复一年发表这种不负责任的报告，以实际行动维护中美两国、两军关系稳定。

The US sits on the largest and most advanced nuclear arsenal in the world. It follows a first-use nuclear deterrence policy, keeps making enormous investment to upgrade its nuclear triad, advances forward deployment of strategic forces, and strengthens extended deterrence for its allies. These policies and acts heighten the risk of a nuclear arms race and nuclear conflict, and will only adversely affect the global strategic security environment. China urges the US to abandon the Cold War mentality and hegemonic logic, view China’s strategic intention and defense development in an objective and rational way and stop issuing this kind of irresponsible annual report so as to keep mil-to-mil and overall relations stable between China and the US.

彭博社记者美国驻华大使伯恩斯呼吁中国政府谴责哈马斯实施恐怖主义行动，称中国对哈马斯的立场是中美关系中的新挑战。你对此有何回应？自哈马斯对以色列发动攻击起，中方立场中为何从未提及哈马斯？哈马斯是控制加沙地带的组织。

Bloomberg US Ambassador Nicholas Burns called on the Chinese government to denounce terrorism by Hamas. He also cited Beijing’s stance toward the group as yet another challenge in the China-US relationship. How do you respond to this? And why hasn’t China mentioned the word “Hamas” as far as I know since the attack on Israel? It is a group that governs Gaza.
