A: Premier Li Keqiang has sent a message of congratulations to Prime Minister David Cameron on May 8, congratulating him on being re-elected. Both China and the UK are countries of great influence.

问：关于此前在地中海发生的难民偷渡沉船事件，欧盟方面希望联合国通过有关决议，允许动用军事力量打击非法移民组织者的船只。中方是否支持通过有关决议？

Q: In response to the recent refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, the EU hopes that the UN can pass a resolution which will allow the use of military force to destroy the boats used by migrant smugglers. Will China support such a resolution?

答：中方支持国际社会共同打击跨国有组织犯罪，包括非法移民等问题。解决这些问题要综合施策，标本兼治，既要应对非法移民问题，也要解决贫困国家面临的发展问题。中方将听取有关方面的具体考虑。

A: The Chinese side supports efforts by the international community to combat transnational organized crimes, including issues such as illegal immigration. A holistic measure should be adopted to address both the symptoms and root causes of these issues. That means not only the illegal immigration issue, the development problems faced by the impoverished countries should also be resolved. The Chinese side will listen to the specific concerns of relevant parties.

Q: It is reported that the Chinese side is negotiating with Djibouti about building a military base there. Can you confirm that? Would Djibouti be the first country in the world where China establishes an overseas military base? If that is the case, don’t you think that will feed into the fears about the so-called “China threat”?

答：我们注意到有关报道。中吉两国传统友好。近年来，两国友好合作关系不断发展，双方开展了各领域的务实合作。需要说明的是，维护地区和平稳定符合各国利益，也是中吉两国和世界各国的共同愿望，中方愿意也应当为此做出更多贡献。

The Chinese side is ready and obliged to make more contributions to that end.

问：美国国防部日前发表的2015年度《涉华军事与安全发展报告》提到了南海问题，中方对此有何回应？

Q: The US Department of Defense issued a Report of Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China 2015, which mentions the South China Sea issue. What is your response?

答：关于南海问题，我们已经多次系统全面地阐述了中方有关立场。你提到近日美国国防部发表的2015年度《涉华军事与安全发展报告》提到了南海问题，但其反映出的实质是一种冷战思维，是戴着有色眼镜来看待别国正当合法的国防建设，以及是以“零和”思维还是以共赢思维看待与其他国家发展关系的问题。

A: We have given a systemic and all-round elaboration on China’s position concerning the South China Sea issue on multiple occasions. You mentioned that the Report of Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China 2015 issued by the US Department of Defense talked about the South China Sea issue. What the report reveals as a whole is a cold-war mentality, and a biased viewpoint on the justified and lawful national defense development by other countries. It is a question about whether a zero-sum mentality or a win-win approach should be adopted to view relations with other countries.

美方报告罔顾事实，对中国军力发展妄加揣测和评论，继续渲染“中国军事威胁论”和“军力不透明”，质疑中国正常的国防建设和战略意图，并对中方在南海地区维护领土主权和安全利益的正当行为说三道四，中方已向美方提出交涉，对此表示坚决反对。

The US report makes willful speculations and comments on China’s military growth in defiance of the facts. By hyping up “China’s military threat and the lack of transparency in military strength”, the report questions China’s normal defense building and strategic intention, and makes inappropriate remarks on China’s justified actions of safeguarding territorial sovereignty and security interests in the South China Sea. The Chinese side has lodged representations with the US side, voicing strong opposition to this.

中国始终不渝地走和平发展道路，奉行防御性国防政策，是维护亚太乃至世界和平与稳定的坚定力量。中国的国防建设完全是为了维护国家独立、主权和领土完整，是一个主权国家的正常权利。希望美方摒弃冷战思维，摘下有色眼镜，客观、理性看待中国的军事发展，停止发表此类报告，停止不利于中美关系和两军互信的言行，以实际行动维护中美两国两军关系健康稳定发展。

China unswervingly follows the path of peaceful development and a national defense policy that is defensive in nature, and remains a staunch force in maintaining peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific and the world. China’s national defense building, a right China is entitled to as a sovereign state, is for the sole purpose of safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is hoped that the American side would abandon the cold-war mentality, view China’s military development with objectiveness and reason instead of prejudices, stop issuing such kind of report or doing and saying anything that jeopardizes bilateral relations and military-to-military mutual trust, and make tangible moves to ensure the sound and steady development of state-to-state and military-to-military relations between China and the US.
