中-美关系问题：

问：据报道，美国两位国会议员称，美国防部可能会在美西海岸追加部署反导防御系统。中方是否担心美国将在西海岸进一步部署类似“萨德”的反导系统？

Q: Two congressmen in the United States have said that the Pentagon is looking to potentially increase anti-missile defense systems on the US West Coat. Is China nervous about a potential build-up of anti-missile systems like THAAD further on the US West Coast?

答：关于你提到的消息，我需要作进一步了解。这里我想说的是：

A: I still need to check and get more information on what you just mentioned. What I want to say is this:

第一，我们多次强调，目前朝鲜半岛局势处于高度敏感的状态。希望各方都能保持克制，多做有助于半岛局势缓和的事。

First, we keep stressing that the situation on the Korean Peninsula is highly sensitive. We hope that all relevant parties exercise restraint and act in a way that could help easing the tensions on the Peninsula.

第二，关于反导问题，中方的立场非常明确。反导问题事关全球战略安全稳定与战略平衡，希望各方都能本着负责任的态度慎重处理。

What is your comment?

答：钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿自古以来就是中国的固有领土，中方维护领土主权的决心坚定不移。无论日方玩弄什么样的把戏，都改变不了钓鱼岛属于中国的事实。我们敦促日方正视历史和现实，停止在这一问题上制造事端，避免损害两国关系改善的势头。

A: The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands have always been an inherent part of Chinese territory. China's determination to safeguard its territorial sovereignty remains unshakable. Whatever tricks the Japanese side may like to play, they cannot change the fact that the Diaoyu Island belongs to China. We urge the Japanese side to face this history and fact squarely, stop using this issue to make trouble, and avoid sabotaging a burgeoning positive momentum in the bilateral relations.

中东问题：

问：据报道，3日，伊朗举行恰巴哈尔港一期落成典礼。由于该港口和瓜达尔港地理位置接近，外界普遍认为将成为瓜达尔港的竞争对手。恰巴哈尔港将为印度向阿富汗运输货物打开直接通道。印度、伊朗、阿富汗已签署协议，给予印度输往阿富汗货物以关税减免的优惠措施。中方对此有何评论？

Q: Iran has inaugurated the first phase of the Chabahar port on December 3, which is widely regarded as a rival to the Gwadar port being developed by China because of proximity. It also provides a direct way for India to transport goods to Afghanistan. And coinciding with the inauguration, India, Iran and Afghanistan also signed an agreement granting preferential treatment in tariff reductions to Indian goods headed towards Afghanistan. How does China view this?

答：我们乐见地区国家之间保持友好关系、开展互利合作。同时，我们希望有关合作有利于维护地区和平稳定，促进地区发展繁荣。

A: We are glad to see regional countries maintain friendly relations and conduct mutually beneficial cooperation. We hope that such cooperation will contribute to regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.

Q: Today, the Australian Attorney-General told parliament that there will be some new laws introduced this week to strengthen investigation and persecuting acts of espionage. The Australian intelligence agency has some concerns about Chinese people's interference in the political process there. Does China have any comment?

A: China develops its friendly relations with other countries on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-interference in internal affairs. China does not interfere in other countries' domestic affairs. We urge the relevant people in Australia to discard prejudice and speak and act more in a way that will be conducive to boosting China-Australia relationship and deepening cooperation between them. A sound and steady China-Australia relationship serves the common interests of both sides.
