3. CHINA VICE FM EXPRESSES STRONG DISSATISFACTION WITH U.S.

两份清单——中方敦促美方立即改弦易辙，纠正错误

China has urged the U.S. to rectify【修正】mistakes on its China policy and actions, such as removing sanctions on Chinese officials and visa restrictions on students as well as stopping the suppression【打压】of the development of Chinese enterprises. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng made the remarks during talks with visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in Tianjin Municipality today. Lei Shuran has more.

中国外交部副部长谢锋今天（26日）在天津同美国常务副国务卿舍曼举行会谈，敦促美方应该改弦易辙，纠正错误，撤销对中方领导人、官员、政府部门的制裁，取消对中国留学生的签证限制，停止打压中国企业。

Xie said the China-U.S. relationship is at a stalemate【僵局】, fundamentally because some Americans portray China as an "imagined enemy". He urged the United States to change this highly misguided mindset and dangerous policy. The vice foreign minister noted that the U.S. side’s so-called "rules-based international order" is designed to benefit itself at others’ expense, hold other countries back and introduce "the law of the jungle". This is an effort by the United States and a few other Western countries to frame their own rules as international rules and impose them on other countries.

谢峰在会谈中指出，中美关系目前陷入僵局，面临严重困难，根本原因就是美国一些人把中国当作“假想敌”，他敦促美国改变极其错误的对华认知和极其危险的对华政策。谢锋表示，美方抛弃国际社会广泛接受的国际法和国际秩序，破坏自己曾经参与构建的国际体系，另起炉灶抛出所谓“基于规则的国际秩序”，无非是想耍赖，想篡改规则限制别人、谋利自己，是想施行弱肉强食、以大欺小的“丛林法则”。

INTERVIEW

Xie Feng, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister

谢锋，中国外交部副部长

We also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the U.S. regarding its wrong words and actions on issues such as COVID-19 origin tracing, Taiwan, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and the South China Sea. We demanded the U.S. immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, stop damaging China’s interests, stop stepping on red lines and playing with fire or engaging in provocation.

中方重点就美方在新冠病毒溯源、台湾、涉疆、涉港及南海等问题上的错误言行，向美方再次表达了强烈的不满，要求美方立即停止干涉中国内政，停止损害中国利益，停止踩红线和玩火挑衅，停止打着价值观的幌子搞集团对抗。

Xie said the Chinese side proposed to the American side two lists specifying areas and cases where Beijing demands changes. One is of U.S. policies and allegations concerning China that Beijing says need correcting, and the other is a list of key cases concerning Chinese officials and people in the United States. In the first list, China has urged the U.S. to unconditionally remove visa restrictions on members of the Communist Party of China and their families, sanctions on Chinese leaders, officials and government agencies as well as visa restrictions on Chinese students. China has also urged the U.S. to stop suppressing Chinese enterprises, stop harassing Chinese students, stop suppressing Confucius Institutes, revoking【撤销】the designation of Chinese media outlets as "foreign agents" or "foreign missions," and to withdraw its extradition【引渡】request for Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. In the second list, China has expressed concerns over cases about Washington’s rejection of some Chinese students’ visa applications, the unfair treatment of Chinese citizens in the U.S. as well as growing hatred against Asians and growing anti-China sentiments. It urges Washington to respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and institutions in America.

谢锋表示，中方向美方提出了两份清单，一份是要求美方纠正其错误对华政策和言行的清单，一份是中方关切的重点个案清单。在纠错清单里，中方敦促美方无条件撤销对中共党员及家属的签证限制，撤销对中方领导人、官员、政府部门的制裁，取消对中国留学生的签证限制，停止打压中国企业，停止滋扰中国留学生，停止打压孔子学院，撤销将中国媒体登记为“外国代理人”或“外国使团”，撤销对孟晚舟的引渡等等。在中方关切的重点个案清单里，中方主要就中国部分留学生赴美签证遭拒，中国公民在美遭受不公正待遇，美不法分子滋扰、冲撞我驻美使领馆，美国国内仇亚、反华情绪滋长，中国公民遭暴力袭击等个案向美方表达严重关切，要求美方尽快解决，切实尊重、保护中国公民和机构在美的合法权益。
