林剑我不掌握你所说的情况。自红海局势升温以来，中方一直在为缓和局势紧张发挥积极作用。谁在劝和促谈、缓和局势，谁又在制裁施压、加剧紧张，国际社会一目了然。中方奉劝有关国家多做真正有利于地区和平稳定的事，而不是相反。

Lin Jian I’m not familiar with the specifics you mentioned. Since the situation in the Red Sea escalated, China has been playing a positive role to ease tensions. Who is promoting talks for peace and cooling down the situation, and who is heightening tensions with sanction and pressure? The answer is rather clear to the world. China urges relevant countries to do what is conducive to regional peace and stability, not otherwise.

林剑祝贺联合国中文日迎来第16个年头。正如习近平主席指出，文明因交流而多彩，因互鉴而丰富。从纽约的诗词朗诵会，到日内瓦的“海外影像节”，再到维也纳的竹简书画展，一系列活动不仅展现了中文承载的历史文化，也让各国朋友感受到中华文明“和而不同”的智慧和“立己达人”的情怀。很高兴看到越来越多的人学习中文，也有越来越多的外国记者朋友在外交部例行记者会上用中文提问。

Lin Jian Congratulations on the 16th UN Chinese Language Day. As President Xi Jinping said, civilizations thrive through exchanges and mutual learning. From the poetry reading in New York and the Chinese Language Video Festival in Geneva, to the calligraphy and painting exhibitions featuring bamboo slips in Vienna, those events celebrating the occasion presented not just the history and culture embodied by the Chinese language, but also the Chinese philosophy of advocating harmony without conformity and helping others succeed while seeking one’s own success. It is good to see more and more people learning the Chinese language, and more foreign journalists raise questions in Chinese at our regular press conferences.

“和羹之美，在于合异”。中文是穿越历史的载体，更是通向未来的桥梁。我们期待更多人以中文为桥读懂中国、读懂世界，也愿同各国一道，以对话破除对立，以包容消弭分歧，携手构建人类命运共同体，书写“各美其美、美美与共”的文明互鉴新篇章。

As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “It’s the combination of different ingredients that makes the soup delicious.” A language is a vehicle of history and more importantly, a bridge to the future. We hope that more people will be able to use Chinese as a bridge to read and understand China and the world. We are also ready to work with countries around the world to bridge divisions through dialogue and approach differences with mutual accommodation, to form a community with a shared future for the world, and promote together the diversity and vibrancy of its civilizations.

林剑我还没有看到你所说的消息。但我想指出的是，外交官的职责应该是促进国家间友好，而不是抹黑别国、挑拨关系、煽动对抗。中国始终是国际社会的和平力量、稳定力量、进步力量。谁在四处炫耀武力、挑动对抗、威胁和平，国际社会对此看得再清楚不过。

Lin Jian We noted relevant reports. Let me stress that the duty of a diplomat is to foster friendly ties between countries rather than vilify other countries, sow discord and stoke confrontation. China has always been a force for peace, stability and progress in the international community. The world sees very clearly who is flexing muscles, inciting confrontation and threatening peace. 

林剑我们此前已就有关问题多次阐明立场。我愿重申，征收港口费、对货物装卸设备加征关税等措施损人害己，既推高全球海运成本、扰乱全球产供链稳定，也会增加美国国内通胀压力，损害美国消费者和企业利益，最终也无法振兴美国造船业。我们敦促美方尊重事实和多边规则，立即停止错误做法。中方将采取必要措施捍卫自身合法权益。

Lin Jian We’ve stated our position on relevant questions. Let me reiterate that such measures as imposing port fees and levying tariffs on cargo handling facilities hurt the U.S. itself as well as others. The move not only hikes global maritime shipping costs and disrupts the stability of global industrial and supply chains, but also increases inflationary pressures in the U.S. and hurts the interests of American consumers and businesses. The practice will ultimately fail to revitalize the U.S. shipbuilding industry. We urge the U.S. to respect facts and multilateral rules, and immediately stop its wrongdoings. China will take necessary measures to defend its lawful rights and interests.
