Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying's Regular Press Conference on April 16, 2018
問：近日，澳大利亞外長在接受采訪時(shí)表示，澳方致力于經(jīng)濟(jì)開放和貿(mào)易自由化，對美國單方面針對部分貿(mào)易伙伴采取提高關(guān)稅等措施表示關(guān)切。中方對此有何評論？
答：澳方這一表態(tài)反映了國際社會的普遍看法。美國的單邊主義和保護(hù)主義政策不僅損害中方利益，也損害多邊貿(mào)易體制和世界各國利益。中方愿同國際社會一道，共同抵制單邊主義和保護(hù)主義，維護(hù)多邊貿(mào)易體制、共建開放型世界經(jīng)濟(jì)。
Q: Recently, the Australian Foreign Minister, when giving an interview to the media, said that Australia is committed to open economy and trade liberalization and that it is concerned about the unilateral measures taken by the United States such as tariff increase targeted at some of its trade partners. What is your comment?
A: The statement made by the Australian side reflects the view generally held by the international community. The unilateral and protectionist policies adopted by the United States undermine not only China's interests but also the multilateral trading regime and the interests of other countries around the globe. China stands ready to work with other members of the international community to jointly fight unilateralism and protectionism, uphold the multilateral trading regime and build an open world economy.
問：美英法三國周六對敘利亞發(fā)動了導(dǎo)彈襲擊，中方對此有何進(jìn)一步回應(yīng)？
答：關(guān)于你提到的問題，我們已于4月14日正式表明中方立場，相信你已經(jīng)注意到了。我愿再補(bǔ)充強(qiáng)調(diào)幾點(diǎn)：
第一，《聯(lián)合國憲章》對于在何種情況下使用武力有明確規(guī)定。美、英、法對敘利亞發(fā)動軍事打擊，違反禁止使用武力的國際法基本原則，有?！堵?lián)合國憲章》?，F(xiàn)代國際法禁止對非法行為采取武力報(bào)復(fù)措施，以“懲罰或報(bào)復(fù)使用化武行為”為由對敘動武不符合國際法。繞開安理會以單邊“人道主義干涉”為由對他國動武也不符合國際法。我們注意到美英法內(nèi)部也有不少聲音對有關(guān)軍事打擊行動的正當(dāng)性和合法性提出了質(zhì)疑和批評。
Q: Can you tell us about China's further reaction to the US, French and British missile strikes against Syria on Saturday?
A: We have already stated our position on this issue on April 14, and I believe you have noted that. I would like to add several points if you like:
First, the UN Charter has made explicit stipulations on the circumstances for the use of force. The military strikes on Syria by the US, the UK and France violate the basic principle of prohibition of use of force in international law and run contrary to the UN Charter. The modern international law prohibits retaliatory force measures against illegal behaviors. The use of force against Syria on the ground of "punishing or retaliating against the use of chemical weapons" does not conform to international law, neither does the use of force on the ground of unilateral "humanitarian interference" bypassing the Security Council. We have noted that there are also doubts and criticism in the US, the UK and France concerning the legality and legitimacy of such military strikes.
