A Proclamation on Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy in Nashville, Tennessee
MARCH 27, 2023
As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on March 27, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, March 31, 2023.  I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-seventh.

美国和台湾的密切关系植根于我们对守护自由和推进民主价值观的承诺。我们的伙伴关系以经济投资和共享的人民间联系为基础，而且我们对世界有共同的愿景，包括法治、透明度、对等、繁荣、保护人权以及各方的安全。这些同样的原则体现在“干净网络”中，我们双方均有幸是“干净网络”的成员。
在这些原则的指导下，同时认识到我们关系的重要性，在美国在台协会（AIT）和驻美国台北经济文化代表处（TECRO）的主持下，美国和台湾今天在华盛顿D.C.举行了首届美台经济繁荣伙伴对话。美台经济繁荣伙伴对话提供了机会在美国和台湾经济合作的现有领域中继续努力，同时打造美国和台湾间新的经济关系。美方代表团由负责经济增长、能源和环境事务的副国务卿基斯·克拉奇(Keith Krach)率领，参加官员包括负责东亚和太平洋事务的助理国务卿史达伟(David Stilwell)以及美国在台协会处长郦英杰（Brent Christensen）。台湾代表团包括台湾行政院政务委员邓振中、台湾经济部部长王美花、台湾科技部部长吴政忠以及台湾经济部政务次长陈正祺。
美台经济繁荣伙伴对话涵盖了广泛的经济议题，包括干净网络、5G网络和电信安全、供应链、投资筛查、干净基础设施合作、可再生能源、全球卫生、科学技术以及女性的经济赋能、教育和创业。作为对科学技术合作持续并扩大承诺的一个表示，美国在台协会和驻美国台北经济文化代表处还宣布打算就一项科学技术协议进行谈判协商，以增进对广泛科学技术议题的共同理解与合作。
未来的美台经济繁荣伙伴对话将有助于加强美台经济关系，进一步扩大两个社会对民主的尊重，并加强我们对自由市场、企业家精神和自由的共同承诺。

The close relationship between the United States and Taiwan is rooted in our commitment to the defense of freedom and the promotion of democratic values. Our partnership is built on economic investment and shared people-to-people ties, and we share a vision for the world that includes the rule of law, transparency, reciprocity, prosperity, the protection of human rights, and security for all. These are the same principles that are embodied in the Clean Network, of which we both have the honor of being members.
Guided by these principles and recognizing the importance of our relationship, the United States and Taiwan, under the auspices of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), held the inaugural meeting of the U.S.-Taiwan Economic Prosperity Partnership (EPP) Dialogue today in Washington, DC. The EPP Dialogue was an opportunity to continue work in existing areas of economic cooperation while also forging new economic ties between the United States and Taiwan. Led by the Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Keith Krach, the U.S. delegation included Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs David Stilwell and AIT Taipei Director Brent Christensen. The Taiwan delegation included Minister without Portfolio John Deng, Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-Hua, Minister of Science and Technology Wu Tsung-Tsong, and Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs C.C. Chen.
The EPP Dialogue covered a broad range of economic issues including the Clean Network, 5G networks and telecommunications security, supply chains, investment screening, clean infrastructure cooperation, renewable energy, global health, science and technology, and women’s economic empowerment, education and entrepreneurship. As a sign of continued and expanded commitment to science and technology collaboration, AIT and TECRO also announced their intention to negotiate a Science and Technology Agreement to advance joint understanding and collaboration on a broad range of science and technology topics.
Future EPP Dialogues will help strengthen the U.S.-Taiwan economic relationship, further magnify the two societies’ respect for democracy, and strengthen our shared commitment to free markets, entrepreneurship, and freedom.

2019年5月9日
伊朗伊斯兰共和国在最近几周做出了一系列不断升级的威胁性行动和声明。美国以及我们的伙伴和盟友的回应一直是清晰的：我们不寻求战争。但是伊朗四十年来杀害美国士兵、袭击美国设施并绑架美国人作为人质的做法一直提醒着我们必须要保卫自己。
在德黑兰的政权应该明白，他们或他们的任何身份的代理人对美国利益或美国公民进行的任何袭击都将面临美国迅速而果断的回应。我们到目前为止的克制不应被伊朗错认为缺乏决心。迄今为止，该政权的默认选项一直是暴力，而我们呼吁在德黑兰的那些将局势降级视为通向繁荣未来之路的人去改变该政权的行为。正如特朗普总统昨天所陈述的，他“期待有朝一日与伊朗领导人会晤，以便制定出一份协议，而且非常重要的是采取步骤给伊朗它理应得到的未来。”

Press Statement
Michael R. PompeoSecretary of State
Washington, DC
May 9, 2019
The Islamic Republic of Iran has engaged in an escalating series of threatening actions and statements in recent weeks. The response of the United States and our partners and allies has been clear: We do not seek war. But Iran’s forty years of killing American soldiers, attacking American facilities, and taking American hostages is a constant reminder that we must defend ourselves.
The regime in Tehran should understand that any attacks by them or their proxies of any identity against U.S. interests or citizens will be answered with a swift and decisive U.S. response. Our restraint to this point should not be mistaken by Iran for a lack of resolve. To date the regime’s default option has been violence, and we appeal to those in Tehran who see a path to a prosperous future through de-escalation to modify the regime’s behavior. As President Trump stated yesterday, he “looks forward to someday meeting with leaders of Iran in order to work out an agreement and, very importantly, taking steps to give Iran the future it deserves.”

国务卿迈克尔·蓬佩奥（MICHAEL R. POMPEO）就中华人民共和国公民记者张展言论被压制和受到检控一事发表声明
美国强烈谴责中华人民共和国于12月28日对公民记者张展进行荒谬的检控和判决。我们要求中华人民共和国政府立即无条件释放她。中国共产党再次表明，对于质疑该党官方路线的人，必将竭尽全力压制他们的声音，即使是涉及重大公共卫生信息的情况也是如此。
谎言是专制政权的特征，并非一时疏漏。中国共产党从一开始就对武汉爆发COVID-19冠状病毒疾病的消息采取钳制和操纵手段，粗暴地压制李文亮医生、陈秋实和方斌等其他勇于讲真话的人的声音。由于中国共产党采取严重不负责任的态度，在中国共产党加强对媒体实施严厉控制后，世界其他地区只能大量依靠张展等公民记者发布的未经审查的报道才能了解武汉的真实情况。结果原来可控的疫情变成一场严重的全球大流行。对她进行的仓促审判，外国观察人员不得入场旁听，这说明中国共产党如此惧怕敢于道出真相的中国公民。
中华人民共和国政府惧怕透明以及持续压制基本自由的行为不是力量的表现，而是虚弱的征兆，对我们所有的人都构成了威胁。美国将一如既往支持中国公民自由及和平表达自己意见的权利。

On the Silencing and Prosecution of PRC Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan
The United States strongly condemns the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) sham prosecution and conviction of citizen journalist Zhang Zhan on December 28. We call on the PRC government to release her immediately and unconditionally. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has shown once again it will do whatever it takes to silence those who question the Party’s official line, even regarding crucial public health information.
Lying is a feature, not a bug of authoritarian regimes. The CCP restricted and manipulated information about the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan from the start and brutally silenced other brave truth-tellers, such as Dr. Li Wenliang, Chen Qiushi, and Fang Bin. Because of the CCP’s gross malfeasance, the rest of the world relied heavily on uncensored reports from citizen journalists like Zhang to understand the true situation in Wuhan after the CCP-imposed strict media controls were enforced and a controllable outbreak turned into a deadly global pandemic. Her hasty trial, to which foreign observers were denied access, shows how fearful the CCP is of Chinese citizens who speak the truth.
The PRC government’s fear of transparency and its ongoing repression of fundamental freedoms are a sign of weakness, not strength, and a threat to all of us. The United States will always support the right of Chinese citizens to express themselves freely and peacefully.

发布美国有关印度–太平洋战略的执行情况的报告
在2019年印度–太平洋地区工商论坛（Indo-Pacific Business Forum）以及东亚峰会（East Asia Summit）在泰国曼谷（Bangkok）召开之际，美国国务院欣然发布有关美国全政府对印度–太平洋地区的战略的执行情况的进展报告。《一个自由、开放的印度–太平洋地区：推进一个共同构想》（A Free and Open Indo-Pacific:  Advancing a Shared Vision）详细介绍了两年间的外交、经济、治理和安全倡议，显示出美国对印度–太平洋地区的持续承诺，以及我们如何增强了人民之间的纽带及双边关系。
2017年11月，特朗普总统（President Trump）阐明了对一个自由、开放的印度–太平洋地区的构想，其中所有国家都作为拥有主权的、独立的国家肩并肩地共同繁荣。这一构想建立在世世代代在印度–太平洋地区支撑着和平与繁荣的价值观的基础之上。自由、公平、对等的贸易，开放的投资环境，良好治理，以及海洋自由是所有希望在自由、开放的未来中繁荣发展的人们的共同目标。
报告记录了美国政府如何与盟友及合作伙伴共同努力，以落实我们对一个自由、开放的印度–太平洋地区的构想。报告凸显了在美国国会的支持下提供给该地区的美国资源，并记录了我们和盟友及合作伙伴一道为实现我们的共同构想而采取的共同步骤。这份报告以阐明国防部（Department of Defense）在这项战略中的作用的《印度–太平洋地区战略报告》（Indo-Pacific Strategy Report）为基础。

Release of the United States’ Report on the Implementation of the Indo-Pacific Strategy
On the occasion of the 2019 Indo-Pacific Business Forum and the East Asia Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, the U.S. Department of State is pleased to release a progress report on the implementation of the U.S. whole-of-government strategy for the Indo-Pacific region.  “A Free and Open Indo-Pacific:  Advancing a Shared Vision” details two years of diplomatic, economic, governance, and security initiatives that show the United States’ continuing commitment to the Indo-Pacific and how we have strengthened people-to-people and bilateral ties.
In November 2017, President Trump outlined a vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific in which all countries prosper side by side as sovereign, independent states. This vision is based on values that have underpinned peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific for generations. Free, fair, and reciprocal trade, open investment environments, good governance, and freedom of the seas are goals shared by all who wish to prosper in a free and open future.
The report describes how the U.S. government works with allies and partners to implement our vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific region.  It highlights U.S. resources directed to the region with support from the United States Congress, and it notes specific steps we have taken alongside allies and partners to realize our shared vision.  This report builds on the Indo-Pacific Strategy Report, which articulated the Department of Defense’s role within the strategy.

米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫（Mikhail Gorbachev）是一位有着非凡远见的人。
在他上台执政时，冷战已持续了将近40年，而共产主义存在的时间甚至更久，带来毁灭性的后果。苏联高层领导人中几乎没有人有勇气承认需要进行改变。作为美国国会参议院外交关系委员会的成员，我看到戈尔巴乔夫这样做了，并且他做的不止于此。作为苏维埃社会主义共和国联盟的领导人，他与里根总统一起努力，削减我们两国的核武库，这让世界各地祈祷核军备竞赛能够结束的人们松了一口气。在持续几十年的残暴政治压迫之后，戈尔巴乔夫欣然接受了民主改革。他相信开放与重建，不是把它们仅仅当成口号，而是作为苏联人民在经历多年的封闭与匮乏之后的前进道路。
这些就是一位难得的领袖的作为——他有想象力去看到，一个不一样的未来是可能的，并且有勇气赌上自己整个职业生涯来实现这个未来。其结果就是让世界变得更安全，让数以百万计的人获得更多的自由。
即便是离任数年后，他仍在深度参与。2009年戈尔巴乔夫先生到访白宫时，他和我进行了一番长谈，谈我们两国为削减美国和俄罗斯核库存而正在进行的努力。不难看出为什么他会受到全世界这么多人的景仰。
我们向他的家人和朋友，以及世界各地因为他对一个更好的世界的信念而受益的人们致以我们最深切的哀悼。

AUGUST 30, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Mikhail Gorbachev was a man of remarkable vision.
When he came to power, the Cold War had gone on for nearly 40 years and communism for even longer, with devastating consequences. Few high-level Soviet officials had the courage to admit that things needed to change. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I saw him do that and more. As leader of the USSR, he worked with President Reagan to reduce our two countries’ nuclear arsenals, to the relief of people worldwide praying for an end to the nuclear arms race. After decades of brutal political repression, he embraced democratic reforms. He believed in glasnost and perestroika – openness and restructuring – not as mere slogans, but as the path forward for the people of the Soviet Union after so many years of isolation and deprivation.
These were the acts of a rare leader – one with the imagination to see that a different future was possible and the courage to risk his entire career to achieve it. The result was a safer world and greater freedom for millions of people.
Even years after leaving office, he was still deeply engaged. When Mr. Gorbachev visited the White House in 2009, he and I spoke for a long time about our countries’ ongoing work to reduce U.S. and Russian nuclear stockpiles. It was easy to see why so many worldwide held him in such high esteem.
We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and to people everywhere who benefited from his belief in a better world.

《香港自治法》最新报告
美国国务院
发言人办公室
华盛顿特区
2021年3月16日
昨天在日本东京（Tokyo），我谈到站出来维护我们共同的民主价值观并一起努力向威胁这些价值观的人追究责任的必要性。今天，我们又一次正在这样做。今天发布的《香港自治法》（Hong Kong Autonomy Act）最新报告突出显示了我们对全国人民代表大会3月11日决定单方面破坏香港选举制度的深切关注。这项决定进一步损害了对香港人民承诺的高度自治，剥夺了香港人在管理自身事务中的声音，英国已经宣布这一举动违反《中英联合声明》（Sino-British Joint Declaration）。
根据《香港自治法》，国务卿必须按照此法中的界定，定期将对中华人民共和国不履行其《中英联合声明》或香港《基本法》（Basic Law）义务正在发挥实质性作用，发挥过实质性作用，或者试图发挥实质性作用的外籍人通报国会。今天的最新报告将24名中华人民共和国和香港官员列入名单，他们的行动削弱了香港的高度自治，他们当中包括全国人民代表大会常务委员会的14名副委员长以及香港警务处国家安全处（Hong Kong Police Force’s National Security Division）、港澳事务办公室（Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office）和维护国家安全公署（Office for Safeguarding National Security）的官员。凡在知情情况下与被列入今天报告中的人从事实质性交易的外国金融机构现将受到制裁。
一个尊重人权、自由和政治多元的稳定繁荣的香港符合香港、中国大陆和更广大的国际社会的利益。美国与我们盟友和伙伴团结一致，为香港人民的权利和自由大声疾呼，并且在中华人民共和国未履行其责任时作出反应。

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MARCH 17, 2021
Yesterday in Tokyo, Japan, I spoke of the need to stand up for our shared democratic values and to work together to hold to account those who would threaten them. Today, we are again doing that.  The release of today’s update to the Hong Kong Autonomy Act report underscores our deep concern with the National People’s Congress March 11 decision to unilaterally undermine Hong Kong’s electoral system.  This action further undermines the high degree of autonomy promised to people in Hong Kong and denies Hong Kongers a voice in their own governance, a move that the United Kingdom has declared to be a breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
Under the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, the Secretary of State is required to regularly update Congress on foreign persons who are materially contributing to, have materially contributed to, or attempt to materially contribute to the failure of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to meet its obligations under the Sino-British Joint Declaration or Hong Kong’s Basic Law, as defined by the Act.  Today’s update identifies 24 PRC and Hong Kong officials whose actions have reduced Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, including 14 vice chairs of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee and officials in the Hong Kong Police Force’s National Security Division, the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, and the Office for Safeguarding National Security.  Foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct significant transactions with the individuals listed in today’s report are now subject to sanctions.
A stable, prosperous Hong Kong that respects human rights, freedoms, and political pluralism serves the interests of Hong Kong, mainland China, and the broader international community. The United States stands united with our allies and partners in speaking out for the rights and freedoms of people in Hong Kong, and we will respond when the PRC fails to meet its obligations.

以下是美国常驻联合国代表琳达·托马斯–格林菲尔德大使代表阿尔巴尼亚、法国、爱尔兰、挪威、英国和美国发表的联合声明。 
今天上午，俄罗斯再次企图利用本理事会洗白其虚假信息、散布其宣传言论，并为其对乌克兰发动的无端、凶残的攻击辩解。我们知道这些，因为这是他们一贯玩弄的伎俩。就在一周前，他们以完全相同的借口召集安理会会议，让我们听到了一连串信口开河、荒诞不经的谎言。 
那次会议和那些谎言的目的只有一个：逃避应为俄罗斯发动的不必打的战争及其造成的人道主义灾难承担的责任。正如你们大家都知道的——而且我们必须提醒公众——正是莫斯科长期违背国际法并维持着一个生物武器项目——而不是乌克兰。正是莫斯科使用化学武器的历史有据可查——而不是乌克兰。而且正是莫斯科，发动了这场毫无理性的战争。 
因此，我们今天在这里要求俄罗斯承担责任。说出真相。并要确保他们的谎言和虚假信息受到事实的驳斥。还必须说明的是，俄罗斯正在滥用其作为安理会常任理事国的责任和权利。我们的使命是作为一个通过外交实现和平的场所。 
俄罗斯颠覆我们的使命及其针对乌克兰人民的令人发指的暴力行径极其无耻。我们将继续确保他们的伎俩得到已准备好同乌克兰团结一致并捍卫《联合国宪章》的整个国际社会的强有力的同声驳斥。

Joint Statement Before a UN Security Council Meeting Highlighting Russia’s Disinformation About Ukraine

United States Mission to the United NationsOffice of Press and Public DiplomacyFor Immediate ReleaseMarch 18, 2022
The following is a joint statement as delivered by Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Representative to the United Nations, on behalf of Albania, France, Ireland, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 
This morning, Russia is once again attempting to use this Council to launder its disinformation, spread its propaganda, and justify its unprovoked and brutal attack on Ukraine. We know this because it’s a well-worn playbook. Just one week ago, they convened the Council under precisely the same pretenses, and we heard a litany of bombastic and preposterous lies.
This meeting, and these lies, are designed for one purpose: to deflect responsibility for Russia’s war of choice and the humanitarian catastrophe it has caused. As you all know – and as we must remind the public – it is Moscow that has long maintained a biological weapons program in violation of international law – not Ukraine. It is Moscow that has a well-documented history of using chemical weapons – not Ukraine. And it is Moscow that started this senseless war.
So, we are here today to call Russia to account. To speak the truth. And to ensure their lies and disinformation are met with fact. It must also be said that Russia is abusing its responsibilities and privileges as a permanent member of the Security Council. Our mandate is to serve as a venue for achieving peace through diplomacy.
Russia’s subversion of our mission, and its horrific campaign of violence against the Ukrainian people, are deeply shameful. We will continue to ensure their tactics are met with a forceful chorus of voices from across the international community prepared to stand with Ukraine and stand up for the UN Charter.
