Terms to note from today’s PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference
Today’s quote:
美国有关议员不顾中方强烈反对，执意窜访台湾，违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报，也违背了美国政府作出的仅与台湾保持非官方关系的政治承诺，向“台独”分裂势力发出严重错误信号。中方对此坚决反对，已向美方提出严正交涉，将采取必要措施，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整。?
In disregard of China’s strong opposition, relevant members of the US Congress still decided to visit Taiwan, which violates the one-China principle, the three China-US joint communiqués, and the US’s government’s own political commitment to maintaining only unofficial relations with the Taiwan region, and sends a severely wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces. China firmly opposes it and has made serious protests to the US. We will take necessary measures to firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.? (Foreign Ministry Regular Press Conference on May 27, 2024)?
Previous PRC history of the term:
?? 美国副总统哈里斯今天在演讲中表示，美国将继续深化与台湾的非官方关系。?
US Vice President Kamala Harris said in a speech today that Washington will continue to deepen its unofficial ties with Taiwan.? (Foreign Ministry Regular Press Conference on September 28, 2022)?
?? 美国国会有关议员窜访中国台湾地区，严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，违反美方作出的仅同台湾保持非官方关系的承诺，中方对此强烈不满、坚决反对。?
The US lawmakers’ visit to China’s Taiwan region seriously violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués and goes against the US’s commitment of maintaining only non-official ties with the Taiwan region. The Chinese side deplores and firmly rejects this.? (Foreign Ministry Regular Press Conference on September 8, 2022)?
?? 这些都充分表明，佩窜台是升级美台交往的重大政治挑衅，违背美方在《中美建交公报》中所作的仅“与台保持非官方关系”的承诺，违背国际社会广泛认可并由联大第2758号决议所确认的一个中国原则，违背联合国宪章确立的不干涉内政的国际法准则。?
This [Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan] goes against the US’s commitment of only maintaining unofficial relations with Taiwan in the Sino-US Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations. This goes against the one-China principle, which is widely accepted by the international community and has been affirmed by UNGA Resolution 2758. This goes against the principle in international law of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs, which is enshrined in the UN Charter.? (Foreign Ministry Regular Press Conference on August 10, 2022)?
?? 美方大幅放宽美台官方交往约束，双方往来的层级和频率明显提升，突破了美方仅与台保持非官方关系的承诺；又比如，美台军事联系更趋频繁、公开，美国售台武器的规模和性能不断提升，总额超过700亿美元，违反了美方逐步减少对台售武，并经过一段时间导致最后的解决的承诺；美方还助台拓展所谓“国际空间”，不惜跳到前台助台“固邦”，践踏了美无意执行“两个中国”或“一中一台”政策的承诺。?
The US has significantly eased constraints on official exchanges with Taiwan, and the level and frequency of bilateral exchanges have greatly increased. This is a breach of its commitment to maintaining unofficial relations with Taiwan only. There have been more frequent open military interactions between the US and Taiwan, and the size and performance of arms sold by the US to Taiwan have kept increasing, with a total worth of over $70 billion. This is a breach of its commitment to gradually reducing its sale of arms to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final resolution. The US has helped Taiwan to expand its so-called “international space”, even jumping into the front stage to help Taiwan consolidate its so-called diplomatic ties. This is a breach of its commitment that it has no intention of pursuing a policy of “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan”.? (Foreign Ministry Regular Press Conference on May 23, 2022)
我想说的是，过去40多年中国经济取得的成功，是改革开放的成功，也是市场机制作用和政府作用有效结合的成功。中方不接受七国集团单方面认定所谓“非市场政策和措施”标准。事实上，少数西方国家针对特定国家、特定企业采取的歧视性做法才是真正的非市场行为，构成了“对市场的扭曲”。?
Let me just say that China’s economic success over the past 40 plus years is the success of reform and opening up, and the success of the effective combination of market and government. China does not accept G7’s unilateral criteria of “non-market policies and practices.” It is the discriminatory practices of a handful of Western countries targeting particular countries and businesses that are the real “non-market practices” and “distortive policies.”?

我们注意到印度尼西亚政府成功举办第十届世界水论坛，论坛获得国际社会积极响应和广泛参与，为全球应对水挑战、凝聚水共识、分享成功水治理经验提供了重要平台。近年来，全球极端天气事件频发，水旱灾害复杂性、不确定性显著增强。中国政府高度重视水利国际合作，致力于与包括印尼在内的群岛和小岛屿国家一道，共同应对气候变化挑战。中国和印尼近年来在水资源可持续管理、水利工程建设、山地灾害防治、水旱灾害防御等领域开展交流与合作，在亚洲区域合作和中国-东盟合作框架下，开展了大坝建设与管理、海水淡化等务实合作项目，对于促进经济社会可持续发展具有重要意义。水资源是人类生存和发展的基石。中国愿同世界各国加强务实水利合作，交流治水理念，共商治水良策、共享治水经验、共建治水平台，加快落实联合国2030年可持续发展议程涉水目标，推动构建持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界。?
We noted that the Indonesian Government successfully hosted the 10th World Water Forum, which has received positive response and extensive participation from the international community and provided an important platform for the world to address water challenges, build consensus on water issues and share successful experience in water governance. In recent years, extreme weather events have occurred frequently around the world, and floods and droughts have been more complex and unpredictable. The Chinese government attaches great importance to international cooperation in water conservancy. We are committed to working with archipelagic and small island countries, including Indonesia, to jointly address the challenge of climate change. In recent years, China and Indonesia have carried out exchanges and cooperation in sustainable water resources management, water conservancy construction, mountain disaster prevention and control, flood and drought disaster prevention and other fields. Under the framework of Asian regional cooperation and China-ASEAN cooperation, the two countries have conducted practical project cooperation, involving dam construction and management and seawater desalination. These moves are of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of economy and society. Water is fundamental to human survival and development. China is ready to work with other countries to strengthen practical water cooperation, exchange ideas on water control, discuss water control strategies, share experience, jointly build water control platforms, accelerate the implementation of the water-related goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity.?

今天上午，李强总理在首尔与韩国总统尹锡悦、日本首相岸田文雄共同出席第九次中日韩领导人会议。在中日韩合作机制建立25周年之际，时隔4年多再次举行三国领导人会议具有重要意义，标志着三国合作的重启和再出发。中方始终高度重视中日韩合作。李强总理在领导人会议上就深化合作提出五点建议：一是推动合作全面重启，尊重彼此核心利益与重大关切，充分激活合作存量，稳步培育增量，形成双边关系和三国合作相互促进。二是深化经贸互联互通，维护产业链供应链稳定畅通，尽早恢复并完成中日韩自贸协定谈判。三是引领科技创新合作，加强协同创新和前沿领域合作。四是拉紧人文交流纽带，以举办中日韩文化交流年为契机，推动三国人民实现从“居相邻”到“心相通”。五是努力促进可持续发展，加强低碳转型、气候变化、老龄化和应对流行病等领域交流合作，发掘和开展更多“中日韩+X”合作项目。中方愿以此次领导人会议为契机，同韩方、日方一道，加强战略沟通，深化政治互信，展现新担当、新作为，推动中日韩合作行稳致远，为地区繁荣稳定作出更大贡献。?
This morning [May 27, 2024], Premier Li Qiang, ROK President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida jointly attended the ninth Trilateral Summit Meeting among China, Japan and the ROK in Seoul. As the trilateral cooperation mechanism marks its 25th anniversary, to hold the trilateral summit meeting among the ROK, Japan and China again after more than four years is highly meaningful and symbolizes the resumption and a new start for the trilateral cooperation. China attaches great importance to China-Japan-ROK cooperation. Premier Li Qiang put forward a five-point proposal to deepen the trilateral cooperation. First, fully resume China-Japan-ROK cooperation. The three countries need to respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, fully unleash cooperation potential, nurture new cooperation and make our bilateral relations and trilateral cooperation mutually reinforcing. Second, deepen economic and trade connectivity. The three countries need to keep industrial and supply chains stable and unimpeded, and restart and complete negotiations on a China-Japan-ROK FTA as soon as possible. Third, champion cooperation in technology innovation. The three countries need to strengthen collaborative innovation, and cooperation in frontier areas. Fourth, forge closer bonds for people-to-people and cultural exchange. The three countries need to seize the opportunity of the China-Japan-ROK Year of Cultural Exchange to promote heart-to-heart amity as close neighbors. Fifth, advance sustainable development. The three countries need to step up exchange and cooperation on low-carbon transition, climate change, ageing societies and response to epidemics, and explore and develop more China-Japan-ROK+X Cooperation projects. China stands ready to take this summit meeting as an opportunity to work with the ROK and Japan to strengthen strategic communication, deepen political trust, demonstrate a new sense of responsibility and commitment, promote steady and sustained China-Japan-ROK cooperation and make greater contribution to regional stability and prosperity.?

台湾问题是中国核心利益中的核心，是中美关系第一条不可逾越的红线。任何国家、任何组织或个人都不要低估中国政府和中国人民捍卫国家主权和领土完整的坚强决心、坚定意志和强大能力，都不要妄想在台湾问题上越界踩线而不用付出代价。?
The Taiwan question is at the core of China’s core interests, and the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations.

As the trilateral cooperation mechanism marks its 25th anniversary, to hold the trilateral summit meeting among the ROK, Japan and China again after more than four years is highly meaningful and symbolizes the resumption and a new start for the trilateral cooperation.

Second, deepen economic and trade connectivity. The three countries need to keep industrial and supply chains stable and unimpeded, and restart and complete negotiations on a China-Japan-ROK FTA as soon as possible. Third, champion cooperation in technology innovation. The three countries need to strengthen collaborative innovation, and cooperation in frontier areas.

?? 中日韩自贸区第15轮谈判于4月9日至12日在东京举行。我们期待谈判顺利推进，取得积极成果，为最终达成一个全面、高水平、互惠的协定奠定良好基础。去年5月第七次中日韩领导人会议以来，三国合作稳步推进，呈现良好发展势头。中日韩都坚定维护自由贸易，积极推动区域经济一体化。本轮自贸区谈判显示了三国维护多边贸易体系、反对单边主义和保护主义的共同决心。此外，三国信息通讯、环境、运输物流、文化、体育、农业、央行、卫生、知识产权等部长级会议先后召开，进一步规划了具体领域合作。东亚文化之都、公共外交论坛、名记者对话会等重要活动提升了中日韩合作影响力，夯实了民意基础。三国还积极探讨开展“中日韩＋X”合作，从而更好地发挥各自优势，促进地区实现整体可持续发展。?
The 15th round of negotiations on the China-Japan-ROK Free Trade Agreement will be held in Tokyo from April 9 to 12 (2019). We hope it will proceed smoothly and achieve positive outcomes, so as to lay a foundation for the final conclusion of a comprehensive, high-standard and mutually beneficial agreement. Since the 7th Trilateral Summit Meeting among China, Japan and the ROK in May last year, the China-Japan-ROK cooperation has been advancing steadily and taken on a good momentum. China, Japan and the ROK firmly uphold free trade and vigorously promote regional economic integration. This round of FTA negotiation demonstrates the shared resolve of the three countries to uphold the multilateral trading system and oppose protectionism and unilateralism. In addition, there are trilateral ministerial meetings on telecommunications, environment, transport and logistics, culture, sports, agriculture, central banks, public health and IPR, making specific plans for cooperation. Important events such as the East Asian City of Culture campaign, the Forum on Public Diplomacy and the Trilateral Media Forum have increased the impact of the China-Japan-ROK cooperation and strengthened public support for the cooperation. We are also exploring the "China-Japan-ROK plus x" cooperation model and leverage respective advantages to promote the sustainable development of the region.?

The 10th China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Foreign Ministers’ Meeting was held in Busan, the ROK yesterday [November 26, 2023]. The three sides agreed that it is important to deliver on the consensus reached by leaders, including the Trilateral Cooperation Vision for the Next Decade. The three sides agreed to create conditions for a China-Japan-ROK leaders’ meeting and speed up preparation. The three sides need to work together in the same direction and create a favorable environment for achieving positive outcomes at the leaders’ meeting. Taking this opportunity, I would like to brief you on the China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. On November 26, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the 10th China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Foreign Ministers’ Meeting with ROK Foreign Minister Park Jin and Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa in Busan, the ROK. This is the first China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in four years. Foreign Minister Wang said that as we are renewing the trilateral cooperation, we need to keep in mind our original aspiration and stick to the right direction and implement our leaders’ common understandings including the Trilateral Cooperation Vision for the Next Decade. The top priority is to continue to respect each other’s development path and core interests in the spirit of facing up to history and looking forward to the future, maintain sound bilateral relations, and lay a solid foundation for a comprehensive restart of trilateral cooperation featuring steady and long-term progress. The three countries need to stick to mutual benefit and win-win results, restart negotiations on the trilateral free trade agreement among China, Japan and the ROK as soon as possible and maintain the momentum of regional economic integration. The three countries need to continue to deepen scientific and technological innovation, keep the industrial and supply chains stable and smooth and optimize and upgrade them. The three countries need to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, expand people-to-people exchanges, facilitate cross-border travels and jointly address common challenges such as climate change. The three countries need to pursue common development, continue to build more Trilateral+X Cooperation projects based on the principles of voluntariness, equality, openness, win-win results, transparency and sustainability, and promote common and sustainable development both inside and outside of the region. Park Jin and Kamikawa Yoko spoke positively of the progress of China-Japan-ROK cooperation, noting that the three countries are close neighbors and the trilateral cooperation has great significance and enormous potential. In face of the new situation, the three countries need to think about what we hope to achieve through cooperation, step up communication and exchange, work closely together in various fields, and bring more tangible outcomes for the peoples of the three countries. China-Japan-ROK cooperation can reach beyond Northeast Asia and contribute to peace and prosperity in the region and the world. The ROK and Japan are open to China-Japan-ROK+X cooperation to benefit more countries and regions. Amid changes and instabilities in the world and the sluggish world economic recovery, countries in the region and beyond have stronger aspirations for solidarity, coordination and common development. Foreign Minister Wang Yi noted that as important countries in the Asia-Pacific, China, Japan and the ROK need to act in the interest of peace and development and the wellbeing of the people in the region, deepen regional cooperation, jointly respond to risks and challenges and safeguard the region’s peace and prosperity. The three countries need to act as frontrunners of East Asia cooperation, drive East Asia cooperation through cooperation among the three countries, uphold open regionalism, oppose drawing ideological lines, and reject blocs in regional cooperation. The three countries need to act as stabilizers for the region’s peace and security, act on the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and address differences and disputes in peaceful ways through dialogue and consultation. The three countries need to act as relief valves in addressing hotspot issues. Continued tensions on the Korean Peninsula do not serve the interest of any side. It is imperative to cool down the situation, create conditions needed to resume dialogue and adopt meaningful actions. Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that China will continue to uphold the policy of building friendship and partnership with its neighbors and work with the ROK and Japan to bring the trilateral cooperation back to the right track, maintain sound and steady sustainable development and make new contribution to regional and global peace and prosperity.?
