毛宁美方官员有关言论充斥冷战零和思维和美式霸权主义，显然是在炮制又一针对中国的虚假叙事，目的是渲染“中国威胁”、鼓噪大国竞争，实质是为遏制打压中国找借口。

Mao Ning Now again we hear remarks steeped in Cold-War and zero-sum mentality and US-style hegemonism, which clearly were designed to peddle another false narrative about “China threat” and major-country competition as pretexts to contain and suppress China.

我们不了解美方官员所谓由美国和其他国家在全球建立的“操作系统”究竟指什么。中方认为，世界只有一个体系，就是以联合国为核心的国际体系；只有一个秩序，就是以国际法为基础的国际秩序；只有一套规则，就是以联合国宪章宗旨和原则为基础的国际关系基本准则。中国坚持走和平发展道路，致力于维护以联合国为核心的国际体系和国际关系基本准则。反倒是美国，沉迷于冷战旧梦，执着于单极霸权，对国际规则合则用、不合则弃，搞“小圈子”、阵营对抗，是国际秩序的最大乱源。

We do not know what the US officials are referring to when they talk about so-called global “operating system” built by the US and other countries globally. China believes there is only one system in the world, which is the international system with the UN at its core; there is only one order, which is the international order underpinned by international law; and there is only one set of rules, which are the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. China is committed to peaceful development and upholding the UN-centered international system and basic norms governing international relations. By contrast, it is the US who is obsessed with the old dream of Cold War, unipolar supremacy, selective approach to international rules, exclusive groupings, and bloc confrontation. The US is the biggest source of instability in international order. 

奉劝美方不要挖空心思炮制新名词渲染所谓“中国威胁”，错误的叙事再怎么包装也欺骗不了世人。美方应该树立客观正确的对华认知，回归理性务实的对华政策，切实将拜登总统的承诺落到实处，同中方相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢，推动两国关系稳定、健康、可持续发展。

We urge the US to stop creating all kinds of new terms to peddle the so-called “China threat” narrative. No matter how hard they try to frame the false narrative, the world will not be deceived. The US needs to form an objective and right perception of China, return to the rational and practical policy toward China, act on President Biden’s commitment, uphold the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation in its relations with China, and promote the steady, sound and sustainable development of bilateral ties.

毛宁赖清德的讲话蓄意割裂两岸历史联结，重弹“互不隶属”“坚持主权”等论调，变换花样贩卖“台独”谬论，再次暴露其冥顽不化的“台独”立场，暴露其为谋取政治私利不惜推高台海紧张局势的险恶用心。

Mao Ning Lai Ching-te’s words attempt to sever the historical connections between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He is again peddling various versions of “Taiwan independence” narrative, such as “China and Taiwan are not subordinate to each other” and “Taiwan has sovereignty.” It once again exposed that he is hellbent on advancing “Taiwan independence” and has the ill intention of heightening tensions in the Taiwan Strait for his selfish political interest.

一个中国原则是国际关系基本准则和国际社会普遍共识。台湾从来就不是一个国家，也绝不可能成为一个国家，根本不存在所谓“主权”。坚持一个中国原则、反对“台独”、反对“两个中国”“一中一台”，是我们处理台湾对外交往及参与国际活动问题的一贯立场。

The one-China principle is a basic norm in international relations and prevailing international consensus. Taiwan has never been a country and will never be a country, and thus has no so-called sovereignty. Upholding the one-China principle, opposing “Taiwan independence” and opposing “two Chinas” and “one China, one Taiwan” is our consistent position on the Taiwan region’s external exchanges and participation in international activities.
