1.PREMIER LI MEETS JAPANESE FM

国务院总理李强会见日本外相林芳正

Premier Li Qiang met Japanese Foreign MinisterYoshimasa Hayashiin Beijing yesterday. Song Wenjing has the story.

国务院总理李强昨天（04/02）在北京会见来华访问的日本外相林芳正。记者宋文静带来详细报道。

Li said this year marks the 45th anniversary of the signing of the China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship. He called on both governments to review and abide by the treaty to develop a lasting relationship of peace and friendship.

李强表示，今年是中日和平友好条约缔结45周年。双方要重温和恪守条约精神，坚定致力于发展两国间持久的和平友好关系。

Li said historical issues and the Taiwan question remain the bedrock【基石】 of the political foundation of China-Japan relations, which require sincere, cordial, and careful settlement.

历史、台湾等重大原则问题事关两国关系政治基础，应该以诚相待、以信相交、妥善处之。

Noting that China and Japan are important economic and trade partners, Li said the two sides should and can increase trade and economic cooperation.

中日作为重要经贸伙伴，应该也完全可以加强经贸合作。

Hayashi said Japan is committed to cooperating with China for stable and constructive relations.

林芳正表示，日方致力于推进对华合作，构建稳定和建设性的日中关系。

中国高级外交官王毅会见日本外相林芳正

Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, also met Hayashi in Beijing.

中央外事工作委员会办公室主任王毅也在北京会见了林芳正。

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said China-Japan relations are generally stable at present, but issues arise from time to time. He said the fundamental cause is that some forces in Japan deliberately follow the erroneous China policy of the United States. He added these forces cooperate with the United States to discredit China and provoke Beijing over its core interests, which is short-sighted, wrong and unwise.

中共中央政治局委员王毅表示，当前中日关系保持总体稳定，但不时出现各种杂音和干扰。根本原因在于日本国内一些势力刻意追随美国的错误对华政策，配合美方在涉及中方核心利益问题上抹黑挑衅中国。此举是短视的、错误的、不明智的。

The director also said China's policy toward Japan has been clear and consistent and is willing to work with the Japanese government to better relations based on the four political documents the two countries have signed.

他还表示，中国对日政策保持连续性和稳定性，愿在中日四个政治文件基础上与日本政府共同努力，改善两国关系。

“我听说每个月会有一次培训。我觉得非常有意义，因为小孩子他在发育过程中运动对他的刺激还是非常有益的。他将能够与教练和同伴取得更多的联系，包括指令的接收、分析、消化，然后再付之于行动，这个过程是很有帮助的。”

“I heard there will be training once a month. I think it's very meaningful. It will be beneficial to his development. He will be able to get in touch with his coach and peers. Receiving instructions from the coach, understanding them and acting in response, the process will be good for him.”

In 2017, the Children's Hospital of Fudan University established this basketball team to observe World Autism Awareness Day, which is on April 2nd. The team practices every month.

2017年，复旦大学附属儿科医院成立了这支篮球队，以纪念4月2日的世界提高自闭症意识日。队伍每个月都会进行训练。

“我们篮球队在2017年招募了12名10岁左右的孩子，经过两年的专业篮球教练的指导，这批孩子开始喜欢上了篮球。在2019年第一批孩子‘毕业’后，我们又招募了第二批成员。”

“We recruited 12 children aged around 10 for the basketball team in 2017. Over the next two years, they started to love playing basketball with the help of a professional coach. We recruited the second group of team members after the first group‘graduated’ in 2019.”

There are now about 13 million people with autism in China. Some have limited verbal【言语的】communication skills. The causes of autism are not yet known, but genetics, brain development and environmental factors all contribute to theneurodevelopmental disorder.

目前，中国约有1300万自闭症患者，他们当中有些人语言交流能力有限。自闭症的病因尚不清楚，但遗传、大脑发育和环境因素都会导致神经发育的障碍。

Director Xu says although there is no cure, it can be managed with interventions【干预】. Early identification of it can help autistic children get the care they need.

徐主任表示，虽然自闭症没有治愈方法，但可以通过干预来控制。早期发现可以帮助自闭症儿童获得他们所需的照顾。
