Although China-US relations have seen ups and downs in recent years, China has consistently stayed committed to resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation. This was reaffirmed by Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng in his meeting with Evan Greenberg, executive vice-chair of the National Committee on United States-China Relations, in Beijing on Monday.
近年来，中美关系历经起伏，但中国始终致力于通过对话协商解决分歧。国务院副总理何立峰周一在北京会见美中关系全国委员会董事会执行副主席埃文・格林伯格时重申了上述立场。
Noting that the two countries agreed to build a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability based on respect, fairness and reciprocity during the summit between their heads of state in Washington last month, the vice-premier urged China and the US to work together to inject more certainty and stability into China-US economic and trade cooperation as well as the global economy.
何立峰指出，上月两国元首在华盛顿会晤期间，双方同意构建基于相互尊重、公平、对等的建设性中美战略稳定关系。他呼吁中美携手，为中美经贸合作乃至全球经济注入更多确定性与稳定性。
Stressing that stable development of US-China relations is of great significance, Greenberg said the Committee was willing to continue playing a bridging role in promoting enhanced economic exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.
格林伯格强调，美中关系稳定发展意义重大。他表示，美中关系全国委员会愿继续发挥桥梁作用，推动两国深化经济交流与合作。
Building strategic mutual trust is of vital importance for strengthening the foundation for cooperation, which includes respecting each other's core concerns, something that was highlighted in the latest response from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning to the US State Department's statement on China's activities in waters east of China's Taiwan island.
夯实合作根基，构建战略互信至关重要，其中就包括尊重彼此核心关切。外交部发言人毛宁针对美国国务院就中国在台湾岛以东海域活动的表态作出最新回应时着重强调了这一点。
As China has an exclusive economic zone and a continental shelf in the waters, its maritime activities there are entirely within the scope of its sovereign rights and jurisdiction, and are therefore beyond reproach, Mao said.
毛宁表示，中国在该海域拥有专属经济区和大陆架，中方在相关海域开展海洋活动完全属于主权权利和管辖范围，无可指摘。
The party that instigates troubles and disrupts stability in these waters has never been the Chinese side, as Mao said. The Taiwan question is China's internal affair that brooks no external interference. The US needs to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques, handle the Taiwan question prudently, and take concrete actions to uphold the overall China-US relationship and peace and stability in the region.
毛宁指出，在相关海域制造事端、破坏稳定的从来不是中方。台湾问题是中国内政，不容外部干涉。美方应当恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，审慎处理台湾问题，采取实际行动维护中美关系大局和地区和平稳定。
The recent remarks by a principal architect of the US' "Indo-Pacific" strategy are a refreshing dose of geopolitical realism. In an interview with the media, veteran US diplomat Kurt Campbell offered a candid assessment of Washington's policy toward Beijing: "It is not possible to contain China", it is a country "that needs to be engaged actively".
美国 “印太战略” 主要设计者近期的表态，体现出颇具现实色彩的地缘政治思考。资深美国外交官库尔特・坎贝尔在接受媒体采访时，对华盛顿对华政策作出直白评价：“遏制中国是不可能的”，中国是一个 “需要积极接触” 的国家。
To fully understand the weight of Campbell's remarks, one must recall his past portfolio. As the Joe Biden administration's former "Asia tsar", Campbell was instrumental in institutionalizing the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, and helping craft the "small yard, high fences" technological restriction framework.
想要充分理解坎贝尔这番话的分量，需要回顾他过往的任职履历。作为拜登政府前亚洲事务主管，坎贝尔推动将四方安全对话机制化，并参与打造 “小院高墙” 技术限制框架。
His remarks reflect a growing recognition among some in Washington that zero-sum containment is fundamentally unviable in a multipolar world. It should be clear to anyone taking an objective view of Sino-US relations that containment breeds friction, whereas engagement offers a viable pathway to manage global challenges.
他的表态反映出华盛顿部分人士日益认识到，在多极化世界中，零和式的遏制政策从根本上行不通。客观看待中美关系的人都应清楚，遏制只会滋生摩擦，而接触才是应对全球性挑战的可行路径。
Since a strategic miscalculation or misjudgment would be very dangerous not only to both countries but to the entire world, the US policymaking circle should fully understand that "Taiwan independence" and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water. The Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-US relations. The US side should refrain from sending wrong signals to the separatist forces in China's Taiwan region.
战略误判不仅会危及两国，更会给全世界带来巨大风险。美国决策圈应当充分认识到，“台独” 与两岸和平势同水火，不可共存。台湾问题是中美关系中最重要的议题，美方不应向中国台湾地区分裂势力释放错误信号。
Remarks from China's Ministry of National Defense spokesman Chen Xi in this regard are significant. The Chinese military stands ready to work with the US side to deliver on the important consensus reached by the heads of state of the two countries, strengthen communication and cooperation, and properly manage differences, he said, adding that the Chinese military will work to promote steady, sound and sustainable development of the military-military relationship, with the aim of injecting positive energy and new impetus into the vision of China-US relations.
国防部发言人陈曦就此作出的表态意义重大。他表示，中国军队愿同美方落实两国元首达成的重要共识，加强沟通合作，妥善管控分歧，推动两军关系稳定、健康、可持续发展，为中美关系愿景注入正能量与新动力。
Campbell's realization that China cannot be contained should serve as a wake-up call for some US policymakers. The path forward lies in dialogue, cooperation and peaceful coexistence to help the two countries overcome the Thucydides Trap.
坎贝尔认识到遏制中国行不通，这应当为部分美国政策制定者敲响警钟。未来之路在于对话、合作与和平共处，助力两国跨越修昔底德陷阱。
