《人民日报》记者我们注意到，中美双方都发布了元首会晤的消息。美国白宫国安会不具名高官10日称，此次会晤目标是管控竞争、防范冲突风险、确保沟通渠道畅通，美方过去几十年试图塑造或改变中国的努力已经失败，美方将就双边议题及热点问题向中方表达关切。美方不支持“台独”，希望保持现状，反对中国在台海日益频繁的军事行动，美方还将在南海问题上强调对菲律宾的安全承诺。关于巴以冲突，希望中国向伊朗表明，伊方不应推动当前中东冲突升级或蔓延。中方对此有何回应？

People’s Daily China and the US have both announced an upcoming meeting between the two Presidents. Senior officials of the White House National Security Council said on the condition of anonymity on November 10 that through the meeting the US is looking toward “managing the competition, preventing the downside risk of conflict and ensuring channels of communication are open.” They also said that, “We know efforts to shape or reform China over several decades have failed.” The US will raise concerns to China over bilateral and hotspot issues. The US is not supportive of Taiwan independence, wishes to maintain the status quo, and opposes China’s increasingly frequent military actions in the Taiwan Strait. The US will also underscore its commitment to the security of the Philippines in the South China Sea. On the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the US will underscore its desire for China to make clear that Iran should not seek to escalate or spread violence in the region. What’s China’s response?

中方始终按照习近平主席提出的相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢三原则看待和处理中美关系。大国竞争不符合当今时代潮流，解决不了美国自身的问题和世界面临的挑战。中方不惧怕竞争，但反对以竞争定义中美关系。谈到关切，美方应当切实尊重中方合理关切和正当发展权利，而不是只强调自身关切，损害中方利益。企图按照自己的意愿和模式塑造别国，从一开始就是一厢情愿，是典型的霸权主义，不可能得逞。中国不寻求改变美国，美国也不应寻求塑造或改变中国。希望美方将不寻求“新冷战”、无意同中国发生冲突等承诺落到实处，共同推动中美关系重回健康稳定发展轨道。

China views and handles its relations with the US in accordance with the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation proposed by President Xi Jinping. Major-country competition runs counter to the trend of our times and provides no answer to the problems in the US or the challenges in our world. China does not fear competition, but we do not agree that China-US relations should be defined by competition. Speaking of concerns, the US needs to respect China’s concerns and legitimate right to development, rather than emphasizing its own concerns at the expense of China’s interests. To seek to remodel other countries in one’s own image is wishful thinking in the first place and typical hegemonism which is going nowhere. China doesn’t seek to change the US, nor should the US seek to shape or change China. We hope the US will act on its commitment of not seeking a new Cold War with China and having no intention to seek a conflict with China, and work with China to bring bilateral relations back to the track of sound and stable development.

中方已经多次清晰表明了南海问题的实质及中方有关原则立场。不是中国的领土，多一寸我们也不要，中国的领土，我们一寸也不会放弃。中方致力于同有关国家通过谈判磋商解决有关争议，同时捍卫国家主权和领土完整意志决心坚定不移。美方应该停止制造借口、介入中国同有关国家的领土和海洋权益争议，更不得借有关问题遏制围堵中国。

China has made clear on multiple occasions the nature of the South China Sea issue and what our principled position is. China will neither take any inch of territory that is not ours, nor give up any inch of territory that belongs to us. China is committed to settling relevant disputes through negotiation and consultation with relevant countries and will not waver in our determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US needs to stop creating pretexts and interfering in the disputes between China and relevant countries over territorial and maritime rights and interests, still less contain and encircle China by exploiting those issues.
