一、经中俄双方商定，国务院总理李克强将于11月30日同俄罗斯联邦政府总理米舒斯京以视频形式举行中俄总理第二十六次定期会晤。	1. As decided by both sides, Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang will hold the 26th regular meeting between Chinese and Russian heads of government with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin via videoconference on November 30.
二、11月29日至30日，国务委员兼外长王毅、商务部部长王文涛将出席在塞内加尔首都达喀尔举行的中非合作论坛第八届部长级会议。	2.

总台央广记者：今天中方发布了习近平主席将以视频方式出席中非合作论坛第八届部长级会议开幕式的消息。	CCTV: Today, China announced that President Xi Jinping will attend the opening ceremony of the Eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) through video link.
你刚刚表示，王毅国务委员兼外长、王文涛部长将代表中方线下参会，能否进一步介绍会议相关情况？	You just announced that State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao will attend the meeting in person. Can you share more information?
赵立坚：11月29日，习近平主席将以视频方式出席中非合作论坛第八届部长级会议开幕式并发表主旨演讲，非盟峰会执行局成员国国家元首、论坛非方共同主席国塞内加尔总统萨勒、刚果（金）总统齐塞克迪、南非总统拉马福萨、科摩罗总统阿扎利、埃及总统塞西以及非盟委员会主席法基、联合国秘书长古特雷斯也将出席开幕式。	Zhao Lijian: President Xi Jinping will attend the opening ceremony of the Eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and deliver a keynote speech through video link on November 29. The Bureau of the Assembly of the African Union Heads of State and Government, including Senegalese President and the African co-chair of FOCAC Macky Sall, President Félix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Comoros President Azali Assoumani and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will also attend the opening ceremony.
这是继2015年论坛约翰内斯堡峰会、2018年论坛北京峰会和2020年中非团结抗疫特别峰会后，习近平主席同非方领导人再次共同规划中非关系未来发展方向。	This is another time that President Xi Jinping and African leaders will jointly chart the course for China-Africa relations. It will be China’s major diplomatic step toward fellow developing countries this year following the Johannesburg Summit of FOCAC in 2015, the Beijing Summit in 2018 and the Extraordinary China-Africa Summit on Solidarity against COVID-19 in 2020.
这是中国今年面向发展中国家的一次重大外交行动，也是新冠肺炎疫情发生后，中非友好大家庭克服困难、如期举行的一次盛大聚会。	It will also be a grand gathering of the big, friendly family of China and African after the outbreak of COVID-19.
开幕式后，论坛54个成员国外长或代表、负责对外经济合作事务部长和非盟委员会代表将举行全体会，共同评估论坛北京峰会成果落实和中非团结抗疫情况，规划未来三年及更长一段时间中非关系发展方向，推动中非政治互信不断深化、务实合作提质升级，用实实在在的合作成果更多更好惠及广大中非人民，推动构建新时代中非命运共同体。	After the opening ceremony, the foreign ministers or representatives of the 54 member states of the forum, and ministers responsible for external economic cooperation and representatives of the African Union Commission will hold the plenary meeting, where they will jointly evaluate the implementation of the outcomes of the Beijing Summit and the solidarity of China and Africa against COVID-19, and outline the development of China-Africa relations in the next three years and beyond, so as to deepen China-Africa mutual trust and elevate the practical cooperation. This will deliver greater benefits to the people in China and Africa with tangible cooperation outcomes and build a China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era.
澳亚卫视记者：据报道，5名美国国会跨党派众议员赴台湾访问。	MASTV: It is reported that a bipartisan delegation of five members of the US House of Representatives visited Taiwan.
台当局外事部门发表声明称，将同美方就台美关系等议题交换意见。美国会再度组团来访，展现出美国会两院两党对台美关系一致的坚定支持。	The “foreign affairs department” of the Taiwan authorities issued a statement saying that they will exchange views on issues including Taiwan-US relations, and that the visits of delegation from the US Congress demonstrate the firm bipartisan and bicameral support to the bilateral relations.
我们注意到，美议员在不到一个月的时间里已两度赴台。	We noted that US lawmakers have visited Taiwan twice in less than one month.
外交部对此有何评论？	Does the foreign ministry have any comment?
赵立坚：美国个别议员窜访台湾，严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，对外发出支持“台独”分裂势力的严重错误信号。	Zhao Lijian: The visit to Taiwan by certain US lawmakers gravely violates the one-China principle and stipulations of the three China-US Joint Communiqués and sends a seriously wrong signal of supporting the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces.
中方对此强烈不满、坚决反对，已向美方提出严正交涉。	China strongly deplores and firmly rejects this and has lodged solemn representation with the US side.
一个中国原则是不可撼动的国际关系准则。	The one-China principle is an unshakable norm governing international relations.
美国个别政客肆意挑战一个中国原则，为“台独”分裂势力站台撑腰，已经引起14亿中国人民的强烈愤慨。	The moves of certain US politicians to wantonly challenge the one-China principle and embolden the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces have caused strong indignation among the 1.4 billion Chinese people.
台湾是中国领土神圣不可分割的一部分，绝不是国际关系的一张牌。	Taiwan is a sacred and inalienable part of China’s territory, not a card in international relations.
我们奉劝美方一些人不要打“台湾牌”，因为这是一张臭牌、死牌，肯定打不赢。	We advise some in the US against playing the “Taiwan card”, because it will be a ill-conceived attempt that is doomed to fail.
这些人必定要撞南墙、自食恶果。	If they insist on playing this card, they will reap what they sow.
中国实现统一是无法阻挡的历史大势。	China’s reunification is an unstoppable trend of history.
美个别政客和台湾当局的拙劣表演不过是中国统一进程中的几声杂音，丝毫改变不了全世界180个国家坚持一个中国原则的牢固格局。	The clumsy show put up by certain US politicians and the Taiwan authorities is only to be overwhelmed by China’s reunification process and can never change the unbreakable landscape where 180 countries in the world are committed to the one-China principle.
一切同中国统一大势相对抗的错误行径都如同蚍蜉撼树，注定失败。	All erroneous acts that run counter to the trend of China’s reunification are like ant trying to topple a giant tree and will end up in failure.
台湾问题事关中国主权和领土完整，涉及中国核心利益。	The Taiwan question concerns China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and bears on China’s core interests.
一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定是中美关系的政治基础。	The one-China principle and the three China-US Joint Communiqués constitute the political foundation of China-US relations.
美方应切实恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，立即停止任何形式的美台官方往来，慎重妥善处理涉台问题，及早为中美关系排雷清障。	The US should earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US Joint Communiqués, immediately stop all forms of official interaction with Taiwan, prudently and properly handle Taiwan-related issues, and clear the landmines and barriers in bilateral relations.
我们也正告台湾当局，企图挟洋自重、倚美谋“独”，注定是死路一条。	A stern warning to the Taiwan authorities: Attempting to solicit foreign support and rely on the US to seek independence will prove a dead end.
总台央视记者：俄罗斯总统新闻秘书佩斯科夫24日表示，美执意将“民主”概念私有化，坚持认为美理解的民主才是真民主。	CCTV: Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary for the President of Russia, said on November 24 that Washington is “trying to privatize the term ‘democracy’ ”, and only the democracy which the US believes in is true democracy.
美通过召开“领导人民主峰会”制造某种新的分界线，按照自己的意图评判各国优劣，这有悖于世界潮流。	He added that Washington “prefers to create new dividing lines, to divide countries into those that — in their opinion — are good, and those that are bad”, which runs counter to the trend of today’s world.
发言人对此有何评论？	Do you have any comment?
赵立坚：佩斯科夫先生说得对。	Zhao Lijian: Mr. Peskov is right.
以“民主和威权”划线，只会挑动意识形态对抗，完全是对民主的歪曲和亵渎。	Creating a dividing line of “democracy versus authoritarianism” will only instigate ideological confrontation, which is completely distortion of and affront to democracy.
我想再强调几点：	I would like to stress the following points:
第一，美式民主不是“样板间”，而是“烂尾楼”。	First, the US democracy is not an exemplar model but a broken one.
今年初，国会暴乱事件戳穿了美式民主的神话。	The Capitol riots early this year laid bare the myth of the US democracy.
美国对外关系委员会会长哈斯称，国会暴乱事件应给“美国例外论”和“山巅之城”的说法画上句号。	President of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass said “So much for ... American exceptionalism, for our being a shining city on a hill.”
美国国内政治极化和社会撕裂愈演愈烈。	Americans are seeing growing political polarization and division in their society.
皮尤研究中心最新报告显示，绝大多数美国人对自己国家的政治制度深感失望。	A latest report by the Pew Research Center showed that the vast majority of American people expressed deep disappointment about their country’s political system.
美国所谓“民主灯塔”早已崩塌。	The US so-called “beacon of democracy” has long collapsed.
第二，美式民主疯狂输出一败涂地。	Second, the export of the US democracy is a fiasco.
美式民主在阿富汗水土不服，最终导致美军从阿富汗大溃败，超过10万阿富汗人丧生。	The US democracy failed to fit in Afghanistan, leading to the debacle of US forces’ withdrawal and the loss of more than 100,000 Afghan lives.
所谓“阿拉伯之春”导致数百万难民流离失所。	The so-called “Arab Spring” generated millions of refugees who have been displaced and homeless.
东欧多国在“颜色革命”后，至今政局动荡、民生凋敝。	The “Color Revolution” hurled Eastern European countries in political turmoil and their people in destitution even to this day.
最后但同样重要的是，条条大路通罗马，实现民主的道路也绝不止一条。	Last but not least, all roads do lead to Rome. There is no single and only way to democracy.
强迫他国走美式民主道路，只会让这些国家走上弯路和歧路。	Forcing others to follow the US democracy will only make them detour or lead them astray.
试问：这样一个有着巨额“民主赤字”的国家有何资格自诩为“民主样板”？有何道义充当“民主判官”？有何颜面举办所谓“领导人民主峰会”？	What makes the US, a country with huge “democratic deficits”, believe that it has the right to be a model and judge for democracy and to host a so-called “Summit for Democracy”?
《中国日报》记者：今天上午，中方发布了《新时代的中非合作》白皮书。	China Daily: China released a white paper on China-Africa cooperation in the new era this morning.
发言人能否介绍更多情况？	Could you give us more information on it?
赵立坚：今天上午，国务院新闻办公室发布《新时代的中非合作》白皮书。	Zhao Lijian: The State Council Information Office released a white paper titled “China and Africa in the New Era: A Partnership of Equals” this morning.
这是中国政府发布的首部全面介绍中非合作的白皮书，也是党的十八大以来首部介绍中国同某一地区合作成果的白皮书。	It is the first white paper released by the Chinese government giving a panoramic view of China-Africa cooperation. It is also the first white paper detailing the cooperation outcomes between China and a particular region since the 18th National Congress of the CPC.
《新时代的中非合作》白皮书全面系统总结了习近平外交思想在非洲方向的新理念、新实践、新成果，集中阐述了习近平主席提出的真实亲诚对非政策理念、正确义利观和“六位一体”的中非命运共同体总体布局，用大量事实和数据诠释了全方位、宽领域、立体式的中非合作格局，以及中非人民在新时代相互支持、守望相助的光辉历程。	The white paper summarizes comprehensively and systemically the new philosophy, new practice and new outcomes of the Xi Jinping Thought on Foreign Affairs in Africa. It elaborates on the principles of China’s Africa policy put forward by President Xi Jinping, namely, sincerity, real results, amity and good faith, pursuing the greater good and shared interests, and building a China-Africa community with a shared future characterized by six features. With ample facts and data, it captures the all-round, cross-sector and multi-dimensional cooperation between China and Africa, and documents the great journey of the Chinese and African people offering each other support and assistance in the new era.
中非友谊源远流长。	China-Africa goes way back.
中非在反帝反殖和争取民族独立的历史进程中结下了深厚友谊。	The profound bond of friendship was forged by the two sides during the historical process of fighting imperialism and colonialism for national independence.
发展同非洲国家的团结合作是中国对外政策的重要基石，也是中方长期、坚定的战略选择。	Developing solidarity and cooperation with African countries has been the cornerstone of China’s foreign policy as well as a firm and longstanding strategy.
在2015年中非合作论坛约翰内斯堡峰会和2018年中非合作论坛北京峰会上，习近平主席同非方领导人一致决定，将中非关系提升为全面战略合作伙伴关系，携手打造更加紧密的中非命运共同体，开启了中非关系的新时代，引领中非合作达到前所未有的新高度，为推动构建人类命运共同体树立了时代榜样。	At the Johannesburg Summit of FOCAC in 2015 and Beijing Summit in 2018, President Xi Jinping and African leaders unanimously decided that the two sides would elevate relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and build an even stronger China-Africa community with a shared future, ushering in a new era in relations, guiding cooperation to an unprecedented new high, and setting an example for building a community with a shared future for mankind.
中非合作论坛第八届部长级会议即将在塞内加尔首都达喀尔召开。中非合作面临乘势而上的新契机。	As the Eighth FOCAC Ministerial Conference will be held soon in Senegal, China-Africa cooperation faces a new opportunity to build on the momentum and scale new heights.
中国政府此时发布《新时代的中非合作》白皮书，不仅是对中国对非政策进行集中阐述，对新时代中非合作成果进行回顾总结，也将增进国际社会对中非合作的了解和认知，为国际对非合作乃至全球发展合作贡献中国经验和中国智慧。	Besides summing up China’s Africa policy and taking stock of China-Africa cooperation in the new era, the white paper released at this point will also promote the international community’s understanding and knowledge of China-Africa cooperation, and contribute China’s experience and wisdom to international cooperation with Africa and global development cooperation.
湖北广播电视台记者：罗冠聪通过个人社交媒体账号发消息称，他会见了立陶宛外长、副外长等人，并感谢他们对台湾和香港的支持。	Hubei Media Group: Nathan Law said on his social media account that he met with Lithuania’s foreign minister and vice foreign minister, among others, and expressed thanks to their support for Taiwan and Hong Kong.
中方对此有何评论？	Do you have any comment
赵立坚：你提到的这个人是被香港警方通缉的反中乱港分子。	Zhao Lijian: This individual you mentioned is opposed to China and attempts to destabilize Hong Kong, who is wanted by Hong Kong police.
立陶宛此前公然制造“一中一台”，紧接着又为像罗冠聪这样的反中乱港分子撑腰张目。	The Lithuanian side is now emboldening the anti-China, destabilizing forces like Nathan Law, immediately after it flagrantly created the false impression of “one China, one Taiwan”.
立方所作所为让人们对其同反华分裂分子沆瀣一气的真实目的一目了然。	What it did has further laid bare its collusion with those anti-China, separatist elements.
玩火者必自焚。	Whoever plays with fire will get burnt.
这是至理警句。
希望立方某些人能听进去，能理性些、清醒些。	We hope certain individuals in Lithuania will heed this word of admonition and behave with ration and a clear head.
香港中评社记者：我们注意到，中国驻立陶宛外交机构已更名为中华人民共和国驻立陶宛共和国代办处。	China Review News: We noticed that the Chinese diplomatic representation in Lithuania is renamed the Office of the Chargé d’Affaires of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Lithuania.
你能否介绍相关情况？	Can you share more information?
赵立坚：11月18日，立陶宛政府不顾中方严正交涉，允许台湾当局设立“驻立陶宛台湾代表处”。	Zhao Lijian: On November 18, the Lithuanian government, in disregard of China’s solemn protest and representations, allowed the Taiwan authorities to set up the “Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania”.
此举公然在国际上制造“一中一台”，开创了恶劣先例。	The act openly creates the false impression of “one China, one Taiwan” in the world and sets an egregious precedent.
为维护国家主权和国际关系基本准则，中国政府已宣布将中立两国外交关系降为代办级。	To safeguard national sovereignty and basic norms governing international relations, the Chinese government has announced the downgrading of China-Lithuania diplomatic relations to the chargé d’affaires level.
11月26日，中国外交部正式照会立陶宛外交部，决定将中国驻立陶宛外交机构更名为中华人民共和国驻立陶宛共和国代办处，并要求立方相应更改驻华外交机构称谓。	On November 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania via diplomatic note of its decision to rename China’s diplomatic representation in Lithuania the Office of the Chargé d’Affaires of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Lithuania as well as its demand that the Lithuanian side change the name of its diplomatic representation in China accordingly.
我想指出，中方这一举措是对立方损害中国主权的正当反制，责任完全在立方。	I would like to point out that the step China has taken is a legitimate countermeasure to Lithuania’s decision that harms China’s sovereignty. The responsibility lies solely with the Lithuanian side.
中国人民不可侮，中国国家主权和领土完整不容侵犯。	The Chinese people shall not be insulted and China’s sovereignty shall not be infringed upon.
中国政府维护国家主权安全和发展利益的决心坚定不移。	The Chinese government’s determination to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests is unwavering.
任何挑战中国核心利益的行径都不会得逞。	No acts that challenge China’s core interests will succeed.
我们奉劝立方恪守公认的国际关系基本准则，立即纠正错误，重新回到正确轨道上来。	We advise the Lithuanian side to abide by widely recognized norms governing international relations, immediately correct its mistakes and return to the right path.
新华社记者：据报道，所罗门群岛总理索加瓦雷发表讲话，指责个别政客煽动暴乱，表示不会向暴乱分子屈服，也绝不会在压力下辞职。	Xinhua News Agency: According to reports, Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare of Solomon Islands accused certain politicians of inciting riot in his remarks, saying he will not surrender to rioters and will never resign under pressure.
索加瓦雷总理并指出表示，暴乱受到那些希望阻止中所建交的势力的鼓动。	He also said that the riot was encouraged by forces that wanted to thwart the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Solomon Islands.
有评论称，游行示威的人很多来自支持台湾的马莱塔省，中所建交可能是此次暴乱的原因。	There are also comments saying that many of the demonstrators are from the pro-Taiwan Malaita province and that the establishment of diplomatic ties with China may be the reason behind the rioting.
中方对此有何评论？	Does China have any comment?
赵立坚：中方高度关注所罗门群岛当前事态发展，对造成严重破坏和财产损失的暴力行为表示谴责，支持所政府止暴制乱的努力。	Zhao Lijian: China is closely monitoring the latest developments in Solomon Islands. We condemn the violence that has caused serious damage and property loss and support the Solomon Islands government’s efforts to end the violence and chaos.
我们相信，在索加瓦雷总理领导下，所政府有能力尽快恢复社会秩序，稳定内部局势。	We are confident that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sogavare, the Solomon Islands government has the capability to restore social order at an early date and stabilize the domestic situation.
中方正在采取一切必要措施，维护在所中国公民和机构安全和合法权益。	China is taking all necessary measures to safeguard the safety and lawful rights and interests of Chinese citizens and institutions in Solomon Islands.
众所周知，一个中国原则是国际关系准则，是民心所向、大势所趋。	It is universal knowledge that the one-China principle is a norm governing international relations and an invincible trend with overwhelming popular support.
中所建交符合时代潮流，是经得起历史检验的正确选择。	The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Solomon Islands is a correct choice in keeping with the trend of the times that can stand the test of history.
建交以来，中所关系取得长足发展，双方各领域务实合作取得丰硕成果，得到所人民真心支持和拥护。	Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, bilateral relations have come a long way with fruitful outcomes in practical cooperation in various sectors, receiving Solomon Islands people’s sincere support and endorsement.
事实证明，中所建交符合所国家发展根本和长远利益。	As facts have proven, the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Solomon Islands serves the fundamental and long-term interests of Solomon Islands.
任何破坏中所关系正常发展的图谋都是徒劳的。	All attempts to disrupt the normal development of relations between our two sides are nothing but futile.
深圳卫视记者：我看到《纽约时报》和一些境外社交媒体报道称，立陶宛当局在边境建立“集中营式难民营”，难民被强制关押在狭小的集装箱内。	Shenzhen TV: I have seen reports by the New York Times and some foreign social media that the Lithuanian government created “refugee camps in the style of concentration camps” at the borders, where refugees are forcibly detained in cramped containers.
几乎可以确定的是，非白俄罗斯籍的难民庇护申请恐都将被拒绝。	It is almost certain that their application for refugee status will all be rejected.
曝光视频显示，难民们试图对其难民营生活条件进行抗议，但遭到荷枪实弹的立陶宛军警武力威胁。	Revealed footage shows, refugees who tried to protest their living conditions in refugee camps are exposed to the threat of force by armed Lithuanian military police.
中方对此有何评论？	What is China’s comment?
赵立坚：你提到的报道的确令人震惊、愤慨。	Zhao Lijian: The reports you mentioned are indeed shocking and outrageous.
很难想象，这种事情还会发生在人类进入21世纪20多年后的今天。	It is hardly conceivable that such things are happening in the 2020s.
难民也是人，不是沙丁鱼罐头。	Refugees are human beings, not canned sardines.
难民不是罪犯，不应该被立陶宛强制关押在集装箱，更不应该受到立陶宛军警荷枪实弹威胁。	They are not criminals and should not be forcibly detained in containers, still less threatened by military police with loaded guns.
据美国媒体报道，在2639名非白俄罗斯籍的庇护申请人中，仅有10人获批。	Some US media reported that only ten non-Belorussian asylum seekers received approval among the 2,639 applicants in total.
立陶宛移民部门负责人曾半开玩笑地承认“立陶宛确实十分仇外”。	People in charge of Lithuania’s migration department admitted half-jokingly that Lithuania is indeed very xenophobic.
立陶宛当局批准给予庇护的难民中，多数为外国“异见人士”。	The majority of refugees who received Lithuania’s asylum approval are dissidents of other countries.
立宪法法院前任院长称，立当局大规模拘留难民以及对其诉讼权的限制涉嫌违反立宪法和《欧洲人权公约》。	Former President of Lithuania’s Constitutional Court said the government’s large-scale detention of refugees and restrictions on their right to litigation are suspected of breaching Lithuania’s Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.
当前，立陶宛边境地区数千难民的人道主义状况堪忧。	At present, the humanitarian conditions of the thousands of refugees in Lithuania’s border area is quite worrying.
但美国等以“人权卫士”自居的国家完全漠视立陶宛边境地区难民基本人权遭到严重侵犯的事实，个中原因再也清楚不过。	But the US and some other self-claimed “human rights defenders” have turned a blind eye to the facts the refugees’ basic rights are gravely violated in Lithuania’s border area. The reason behind this is plain to see.
这些难民大多来自阿富汗、伊拉克、叙利亚等国。	Most of the refugees come from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
他们背井离乡，正是拜这些天天把“保护人权”挂在嘴边的国家所赐。	They left their homeland thanks to the countries preaching “protection of human rights”.
我们不禁要问，人权何在？人道何在？	We have to ask where human rights are and where humanity is.
我们强烈呼吁立政府切实采取有效措施，保障难民人权和各项基本权利。	We strongly call on the Lithuanian government to earnestly take effective measures to protect the human rights and all fundamental rights of the refugees.
总台央视记者：据最新报道，中方已向国际社会提供超过18亿剂新冠疫苗。	CCTV: According to the latest reports, China has provided more than 1.8 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines to the international community, which is more than any other country.
中国成为向世界各国提供新冠疫苗最多的国家，也是率先有效控制疫情、率先复工复产、率先实现经济增长由负转正的国家。	It is also the first country to bring the virus under effective control, resume work and production and reverse the economic downturn.
同时，截至11月24日，中国新冠疫苗全程接种人数已达10.8亿，占中国人口的76.8%。	By the end of November 24, up to 1.08 billion Chinese citizens, 76.8 percent of the entire population, have completed vaccination.
发言人能否介绍，中方为什么能够在本国国民疫苗接种和对外提供疫苗两方面都处于领先地位，中国政府的经验是什么？	How does China manage to lead the world in vaccinating its own people and supplying vaccines overseas at the same time? What experience can the Chinese government share?
赵立坚：你提到的这两方面的最新数据确实令人欣慰、振奋。	Zhao Lijian: The latest data on the two fronts you mentioned are indeed reassuring and inspiring.
中国政府始终把人民生命安全和身体健康放在第一位，始终秉持人民至上、生命至上理念开展疫情防控，统筹常态化精准防控和应急处置，统筹疫情防控和经济社会发展。	The Chinese government always puts people’s safety and health first. In pandemic prevention and control, it attaches the highest importance to people and life. Efforts are made to coordinate targeted prevention and control on a regular basis and contingency response, and to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and socioeconomic development.
作为一个拥有14亿多人口的大国，我们能够做到这个程度殊为不易。	As a major country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, it has not been easy to accomplish this.
这充分体现了中国政府治国理政水平和社会制度优势。	Our success speaks volumes about the Chinese government’s governance capability and the strength of our social system.
我们将继续有序、全力推进相关工作，直至打赢这场防控疫情的人民战争。	We will keep advancing with full strength relevant work in an orderly manner until we can declare victory on this people’s war against COVID-19.
中方对外提供疫苗取得的积极进展，是我们践行人类卫生健康共同体理念、把疫苗作为全球公共产品，为提高疫苗在发展中国家的可及性和可负担性、构筑全球疫苗防线作出的积极贡献。	The progress we have made in supplying vaccines overseas is our contribution to increasing the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in the developing world to build a global line of defense guided by the concept of a community of health for mankind and our pledge of making vaccines a global public good.
中方是这么说的，也是这么做的。	That’s what China said and what we have been working on.
我们通过包括无偿援助、联合生产在内的多种形式率先向有需要的发展中国家提供疫苗，是世界上对外提供疫苗最多的国家。	We are the first to provide vaccines to developing countries in need through multiple means including donation and joint production. And we have provided more vaccines than any other country.
中方将继续尽己所能向世界特别是发展中国家提供更多疫苗，为促进疫苗在全球公平分配和使用作出“中国贡献”。	Going forward, we will continue to provide more vaccines to the world, especially developing countries, to the best of our capability, to promote the equitable distribution and use of vaccines globally and make China’s contribution to vaccines’ fair distribution and use in the world.
中新社记者：你刚才发布了李克强总理同俄罗斯总理米舒斯京举行中俄总理第二十六次定期会晤的消息。	China News Service: You just announced the 26th regular meeting between Chinese and Russian heads of government, which will be held by Premier Li Keqiang and Prime Minister Mishustin.
中方对此次会晤有何期待？	Can you share China’s expectations for this meeting?
赵立坚：今年是《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》签署20周年。	Zhao Lijian: This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Treaty of Good-neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between China and Russia.
习近平主席和普京总统发表联合声明，宣布《条约》延期，引领两国务实合作在更高水平、更大范围、更深层次上推进，取得积极成果。	President Xi Jinping and President Putin issued a joint statement and announced the extension of the Treaty, steering China-Russia practical cooperation to a higher stage, a broader scale and a deeper level for positive outcomes.
今年前10个月，中俄双边贸易额达到1156.6亿美元，同比增长30.9%，创下历史新高。	In the first ten months this year, bilateral trade volume between China and Russia hit a record high of US$115.66 billion, up by 30.9 percent year-on-year.
双方重大战略合作项目顺利实施，跨境电商、人工智能、移动通讯等新业态逐步发力，科技创新年成功举行。	Our major strategic projects of cooperation were launched smoothly, new forms of businesses including cross-border e-commerce, artificial intelligence and mobile communications are gaining momentum. The Year of Scientific and Technological Innovation was successfully launched.
中俄合作的生机与活力不断显现。	The vitality of China-Russia cooperation is fully demonstrated.
中俄总理定期会晤是统筹规划和指导推动双方务实合作和人文交流的重要平台，已连续举行25次。	The regular meeting between Chinese and Russian heads of government, which has been held 25 times, is an important mechanism for the two sides to coordinate, blueprint and guide practical cooperation and people-to-people exchange.

一段时间以来，各国代表团和运动员纷纷表达了对北京冬奥会的期待。	For some time, delegations and athletes from many countries have expressed their expectation for Beijing 2022.
一边是个别国家政客炒作所谓“抵制”，一边却是这些国家的奥委会、选手纷纷申请注册参加北京冬奥会，两边画风形成鲜明对比。 这也充分证明了所谓“抵制”根本不得人心。	The stark contrast between the boycott of certain countries’ politicians and active registration of Olympic Committees and athletes has fully shown so-called boycott wins no support.
中方坚信，在奥林匹克精神指引下，国际社会越来越多有识之士将坚决反对将体育运动政治化，坚定支持北京冬奥会。	China firmly believes that, guided by the Olympic spirit, more and more visionary people in the world will resolutely reject politicization of sports and staunchly support the Beijing Winter Olympics.

我们也相信，一切有违奥林匹克精神的政治操弄都将销声匿迹，象征和平友爱的奥运火种一定会在“鸟巢”熊熊燃烧。	We also believe that all political manipulation against the Olympic spirit will disappear, and the Olympic flame symbolizing peace and friendship will blaze in Beijing National Stadium, or the “Bird’s Nest”.
