問:據(jù)報道,多米尼加總統(tǒng)梅迪納昨天表示,多方希望中國大陸能夠接收那些目前在臺灣獲得獎學金的留學生。請問大陸是否會接收多方在臺留學的獎學金生?
答:中方十分關心目前在臺灣留學的多米尼加獎學金生,只要他們有意轉到大陸學習,我們愿意接收。我們相信,大陸將成為他們溫暖的新家。
中方愿以中多建交為新起點,拓展兩國人文交流,包括促進兩國高校間合作,為今后中多青年學生赴對方國家留學、參訪提供更多便利。
Q: President Danilo Medina of the Dominican Republic said yesterday that they hope the Chinese mainland will admit Dominican students studying in Taiwan with scholarships. Will the Chinese mainland admit them ?
A: China cares a lot about the Dominican scholarship receivers who are now studying in Taiwan. As long as they wish to study in the mainland, we will admit them. I believe that the mainland will become a warm new home for them.
Taking the establishment of diplomatic ties as a new starting point, China is willing to expand our people-to-people and cultural exchanges, including promoting cooperation between universities so as to offer more convenience to our young students for their study in and visit to the other country.
問:第一,據(jù)報道,法國總統(tǒng)昨天在訪問澳大利亞期間談到中國崛起時表示,不應允許任何國家在亞太地區(qū)享有任何形式的霸權。你對此有何評論?第二,美國昨天警告說中國在南海地區(qū)擴充軍力,搞“軍事化”,將承擔由此造成的后果,你對此有何評論?
答:我還沒有看到你提到的講話原文。你提到了“霸權”這個詞。在世界人民眼中,當今這個世界到底是哪個國家才稱得上是霸權,或者說在世界各地行使各種各樣的軍事霸權或經濟霸權?!我覺得有關人士在發(fā)表評論前,最好先把這個問題搞搞清楚。
關于你提到的第二個問題,其實我昨天已經闡述了中方立場。中國在南沙群島自己的領土上開展和平建設活動,包括部署必要的國土防御設施,是維護中國主權和安全的需要,也是主權國家享有的當然權利,與有些人欲給中國扣上的帽子“軍事化”沒有任何關系。中國將繼續(xù)同各國共同努力,維護好南海地區(qū)的和平穩(wěn)定。需要指出的是,美方在南海地區(qū)不斷強化軍事部署,不時炫耀武力,這才是對南海的“軍事化”,他們需要考慮由此帶來的后果。我們敦促美方停止發(fā)表不負責任的言論,反思自身的錯誤做法,真正為維護南海地區(qū)的和平穩(wěn)定發(fā)揮建設性作用。
Q: First, French President Emmanuel Macron, who was visiting Australia yesterday, said that no country should be allowed to any kind of hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region when talking about China's rise. Do you have any comments? Second, the US warned yesterday that China would face consequences for the buildup of Chinese military and "militarization" in the South China Sea. What's your comment?
A: I haven't seen the full transcript of those remarks as you mentioned. But you mentioned the word "hegemony". I am curious that in the eyes of all the people around the world, which country can be called as a hegemon and which country is exercising hegemony worldwide in various ways both militarily and economically. The relevant person had better get the answer right before making comments.
As for your second question, I have talked about China's position yesterday. China's peaceful construction activities on the Nansha Islands, which is part of its own territory, including the deployment of necessary national defense facilities, are meant to safeguard China's sovereignty and security, and it is also a right that any sovereign state is entitled to. It bears not the slightest resemblance to "militarization", a label someone is trying to pin on us. China will continue to work with all countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. It is worth mentioning that the US has been upping its military deployment and flexing its muscles in the South China Sea. That is exactly "militarization". They need to think about the consequences. We urge the US side to stop making these irresponsible remarks and think over what it has done so wrongly, and truly play a constructive role in preserving peace and stability in the South China Sea.
