國防部：中美兩軍關系應當好兩國關系發展的穩定基石

The MND: China-US Military Relationship Should Serve as a Cornerstone for Stability in the Overall Relations

11月28日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發言人吳謙大校答記者問。

記者：近日，習近平主席在秘魯利馬同美國總統拜登舉行會晤。在此背景下，請介紹中方對下一步發展中美兩軍關系的看法。

Question: Recently, President Xi Jinping met with US President Joe Biden in Lima, Peru. Against this backdrop, please brief us on China’s views on the future China-US military relationship.

吳謙：習主席指出，中美合則兩利、斗則俱傷。過去幾年，兩國兩軍關系雖然歷經跌宕起伏，但也開展了對話與合作，總體實現了穩定。中美作為世界上兩個大國，應該計天下利，多為當前動蕩不安的世界注入確定性、提供正能量。希望美方同我們相向而行，以積極理性的態度看待中國和中國軍隊的發展，把以和為貴、以穩為重、以信為本作為兩軍交往的基本遵循，在平等和尊重基礎上，構建不沖突不對抗、開放務實合作、逐步積累互信的兩軍關系，真正當好兩國關系發展的穩定基石。

Wu Qian: President Xi points out that China and the US will gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. Despite all the ups and downs in the China-US relations over the past several years, the two militaries maintained some dialogues and cooperation and kept a generally stable relationship. As two major countries in the world, China and the US should bear in mind the greater good, and inject more certainty and positive energy into a turbulent world. We hope the US side can work with us towards a same direction, take a positive and rational view of the growth of China and the Chinese military, and prioritize peace, stability and credibility as the basic principles of mil-mil engagement. On the basis of equality and respect, the two sides should build a mil-to-mil relationship featuring non-conflict and non-confrontation, open and substantive cooperation and gradual accumulation of mutual trust, so as to truly serve as a cornerstone for stability in the overall China-US relations.
