国防部发布2022年战略评估——《国防战略》、《核态势评估》以及《导弹防御评估》
 
今天，国防部发布了非保密的《国防战略》（National Defense Strategy）、《核态势评估》（Nuclear Posture Review）和《导弹防御评估》（Missile Defense Review）。
 
国防部有史以来首次以综合统筹方式进行了所有重大战略评估，与《国家安全战略》（National Security Strategy）保持一致。通过整合这些文件，整个国防部正在将资源与目标相匹配。
 
2022年《国防战略》确定了国防部的战略方向和联合部队（Joint Force）的重点要务，指明了美国军队将如何应对美国国家安全利益以及一个稳定开放的国际体系所面临的与日俱增的威胁。
 
2022年《国防战略》明确了国防部为加强威慑而必须进行的四项最高层级的国防重点要务：
 
 
 
 
 
2022年《国防战略》还确定了国防部实现其优先目标的三种方式——一体化威慑、声势行动以及构建持久的优势。
 
2022年《核态势评估》重申，只要核武器存在，美国核武器的根本作用就是遏制对美国、我们的盟国以及我们的合作伙伴的核攻击。美国只会考虑在极端情况下使用核武器来捍卫美国或其盟国及伙伴的关键利益。《核态势评估》采取全面及平衡的方针来捍卫至关重要的国家安全利益并降低核风险，同时申明对安全、可靠和有效的核威慑以及强大和可信的延伸威慑的持续承诺。

Department of Defense Releases its 2022 Strategic Reviews – National Defense Strategy, Nuclear Posture Review, and Missile Defense Review
Oct. 27, 2022
Today, the Department of Defense released the unclassified National Defense Strategy (NDS), Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), and Missile Defense Review (MDR).
For the first time in its history, the Department conducted all major strategic reviews in an integrated way, aligned with the National Security Strategy. By weaving these documents together, the entire Department is matching resources to goals.
The 2022 NDS sets the Department’s strategic direction and priorities for the Joint Force, identifying how the U.S. military will meet growing threats to U.S. national security interests and to a stable and open international system.
The 2022 NDS identifies four top-level defense priorities that the Department must pursue to strengthen deterrence:
The 2022 NDS also identifies three ways in which the Department will achieve its priorities – integrated deterrence, campaigning, and building enduring advantage.
The 2022 NPR reaffirms that as long as nuclear weapons exist, the fundamental role of U.S. nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attack on the United States, our Allies, and our partners. The United States would only consider the use of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States or its Allies and partners. The NPR takes a comprehensive and balanced approach to defending vital national security interests and reducing nuclear risks while affirming a continuing commitment to a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent and strong and credible extended deterrence.
The 2022 MDR underscores that missile defense contributes to integrated deterrence by undermining a potential foe’s confidence in its ability to mount a successful attack.

美国根据修正后的1998年《国际宗教自由法》，将缅甸、中国、厄立特里亚、伊朗、尼日利亚、朝鲜、巴基斯坦、沙特阿拉伯、塔吉克斯坦和土库曼斯坦列入“特别关注国”名单，原因是这些国家参与或容忍“系统、持续且极为恶劣的侵犯宗教自由的行为。”

Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Religious freedom is an unalienable right, and the bedrock upon which free societies are built and flourish. Today, the United States – a nation founded by those fleeing religious persecution, as the recent Commission on Unalienable Rights report noted – once again took action to defend those who simply want to exercise this essential freedom.
The United States is designating Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, Nigeria, the DPRK, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan as Countries of Particular Concern under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, as amended, for engaging in or tolerating “systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom.”
We are also placing the Comoros, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Russia on a Special Watch List for governments that have engaged in or tolerated “severe violations of religious freedom.” Additionally, we are designating al-Shabaab, al-Qa’ida, Boko Haram, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Houthis, ISIS, ISIS-Greater Sahara, ISIS-West Africa, Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, and the Taliban as Entities of Particular Concern under the Frank R. Wolf International Religious Freedom Act of 2016.
We have not renewed the prior Entity of Particular Concern designations for al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula and ISIS-Khorasan, due to the total loss of territory formerly controlled by these terrorist organizations. While these two groups no longer meet the statutory criteria for designation, we will not rest until we have fully eliminated the threat of religious freedom abuses by any violent extremist and terrorist groups.
There are also positive developments to share. I am pleased to announce that Sudan and Uzbekistan have been removed from the Special Watch List based on significant, concrete progress undertaken by their respective governments over the past year. Their courageous reforms of their laws and practices stand as models for other nations to follow.
And yet our work is far from complete. The United States will continue to work tirelessly to end religiously motivated abuses and persecution around the world, and to help ensure that each person, everywhere, at all times, has the right to live according to the dictates of conscience.

华盛顿特区— 今天，中国宣布将针对美国产品施加无正当理由的关税。为回应中国的决定，且为达到中国301条款调查的目的，特朗普总统已指示美国贸易代表办公室（USTR)对价值约5500亿美元的中国进口增加5%的关税。对价值约2500亿美元的中国进口征收25%的关税，美国贸易代表办公室将开始将关税税率上调至30%的程序，于公告和评论期后，于10月1日生效。总统本月早些时候宣布对价值约3000亿美元的中国进口施加10%的关税，现在关税将变为15%，于对该进口增加关税原订生效日期生效。
美国贸易代表办公室将尽快在《联邦公报》上公布有关今日声明的额外细节。

Washington, DC – Today, China announced it will impose unjustified tariffs targeting U.S. products.  In response to China’s decision, and in order to achieve the objectives of the China Section 301 investigation, President Trump has instructed the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to increase by 5% the tariffs on approximately $550 billion worth of Chinese imports.  For the 25% tariffs on approximately $250 billion worth of Chinese imports, USTR will begin the process of increasing the tariff rate to 30%, effective October 1 following a notice and comment period.  For the 10% tariffs on approximately $300 billion worth of Chinese imports that the President announced earlier this month, the tariffs will now be 15%, effective on the already scheduled dates for tariff increases on these imports.
USTR will publish in the Federal Register as soon as possible additional details on today’s announcement.

对于香港和世界各地的媒体自由来说，这是一个令人悲哀的日子。北京的镇压行动日益加剧，已到了使香港迫切需要的独立新闻堡垒苹果日报（Apple Daily）停刊的地步。北京通过逮捕、威胁和强制推行惩罚自由言论的国家安全法，执意行使自己的权力镇压独立媒体，钳制不同意见。
独立媒体为强健和繁荣的社会发挥不可估量的作用。新闻工作者坚持真理，要求领导人承担责任并保持信息的自由流通——现在对香港和全世界民主受到威胁的地方来说，这一点比以往任何时候都更重要。北京必须停止打击独立报刊，释放被拘押的新闻工作者和媒体主管人员。从事新闻工作并不是罪行。
香港人民有行使新闻自由的权利。北京却否定各项基本自由，攻击香港自治及其民主机制和程序，不符合其本身承担的国际义务。美国毫不动摇地支持香港人民和所有坚持全体人民应该享有基本自由的人们。

Statement by President Joe Biden on Hong Kong’s Apple Daily
JUNE 24, 2021
It is a sad day for media freedom in Hong Kong and around the world. Intensifying repression by Beijing has reached such a level that Apple Daily, a much-needed bastion of independent journalism in Hong Kong, has now ceased publishing. Through arrests, threats, and forcing through a National Security Law that penalizes free speech, Beijing has insisted on wielding its power to suppress independent media and silence dissenting views.
Independent media play an invaluable role in resilient and prosperous societies. Journalists are truth-tellers who hold leaders accountable and keep information flowing freely—and that is needed now more than ever in Hong Kong, and in places around the world where democracy is under threat. Beijing must stop targeting the independent press and release the journalists and media executives that have been detained. The act of journalism is not a crime.
People in Hong Kong have the right to freedom of the press. Instead, Beijing is denying basic liberties and assaulting Hong Kong’s autonomy and democratic institutions and processes, inconsistent with its international obligations. The United States will not waver in our support of people in Hong Kong and all those who stand up for the basic freedoms all people deserve.

媒体声明
内德·普赖斯，美国国务院发言人 
3月16日
国际法院今天根据《防止及惩治灭绝种族罪公约》就乌克兰起诉俄罗斯联邦案作出重要裁决。该裁决明确无误地命令俄罗斯立即停止其于上个月开始的军事行动，并进一步指示俄罗斯确保受其指挥的各方，包括军队或非正规武装单位，不采取任何措施来推进此类军事行动。
国际法院根据《联合国宪章》在和平解决争端方面发挥着至关重要的作用。它强调了各国要按照包括战争法在内的国际法规定的义务行事。同时，法院对乌克兰平民的极端弱势处境、克里姆林宫的行动已造成的大量平民伤亡以及包括建筑物和基础设施遭损毁在内的重大物资损失深表关切。法院进一步指出其对俄罗斯政府使用武力深表关切，并强调法院对“正在乌克兰发生的人类悲剧的严重程度”以及“持续的生命损失和人类苦难”有深刻的认识。法院还指出了它没有任何证据证实俄罗斯关于乌克兰在顿巴斯地区犯下了种族灭绝罪的说法。
我们欢迎国际法院发布的命令，并呼吁俄罗斯联邦遵守该命令，立即停止在乌克兰的军事行动，并在乌克兰境内建立不受阻碍的人道主义通道。
美国将继续与我们的盟友和伙伴一道行动，以支持乌克兰

Welcoming the International Court of Justice’s Order Directing the Russian Federation to Immediately Suspend Military Operations in Ukraine

PRESS STATEMENT
NED PRICE, DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON
MARCH 16, 2022
The International Court of Justice today issued a significant ruling in Ukraine’s case against the Russian Federation under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The ruling clearly and unequivocally ordered Russia to immediately suspend the military operations Russia commenced last month and further directed Russia to ensure that anyone subject to its direction, including military or irregular armed units, take no steps in furtherance of such military operations.
The Court – which plays a vital role in the peaceful settlement of disputes under the UN Charter – stressed the need for States to act in conformity with their obligations under international law, including the laws of war.  And the Court expressed deep concern about the extreme vulnerability of the civilian population of Ukraine, the numerous civilian deaths and injuries that have resulted from the Kremlin’s actions, and the significant material damage, including the destruction of buildings and infrastructure.  The Court further noted its profound concern with the Russian government’s use of force and emphasized the Court’s acute awareness of “the extent of the human tragedy that is taking place in Ukraine” as well as the “continuing loss of life and human suffering.”  The Court also observed that it did not possess any evidence substantiating Russia’s claims that genocide had been committed by Ukraine in the Donbas region.
We welcome the Court’s order and call on the Russian Federation to comply with the order, immediately cease its military operations in Ukraine, and to establish unhindered humanitarian access in Ukraine.
The United States will continue to act with our allies and partners in support of Ukraine.

中华人民共和国的空洞承诺
美国人民继续与我们在非洲各地的合作伙伴站在一起，抗击2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行带来的挑战。过去20年来，我们在非洲撒哈拉以南地区的公共健康领域投资1000多亿美元，到目前为止已为应对2019冠状病毒病投入超过3.6亿美元。这是承诺建设更健康、更繁荣的非洲的长期合作关系应有的表现。我们的政府，美国慈善家和美国企业对非洲健康作出重大投资，因为健康的人口使非洲——以及世界各地——更健康，更繁荣。
在上周的中国-非洲峰会（China-Africa Summit）上，我们不幸看到更多的空洞承诺和中国共产党的陈词滥调。虽然习主席说“我们要坚持人民至上，生命至上”，但是他未能承诺对中华人民共和国在释放出这一致命病毒中的角色做到真正透明和负责。在中国共产党向世界隐瞒有关2019冠状病毒病的真相直至为时过晚的时候，他不是将生命至上，我们现在继续经受着那些行动带来的灾难性后果。
我们注意到中华人民共和国声明致力于“认真”落实20国集团缓债倡议（G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative），然而，已经不成秘密的是，中华人民共和国是无人望其项背的非洲政府的最大双边债主，造成难以维持的债务负担。相比之下，美国的大部分对外援助是以赠款而不是贷款形式，目的是促进透明，由私人行业带动经济发展，使各方受益。将官方借贷公开化有助于要求政府对其决策负责和防止腐败——腐败行为剥夺公民的机会，损害国家主权。中国共产党需要不限于只发表含糊的公开声明，而是根据其20国集团承诺，开始全面和透明地落实20国集团缓债倡议。
美国在倡导透明和抗击传染病祸害的过程中继续是非洲最坚定的伙伴。空洞诺言和误导宣传将不会有助于让我们更接近真相。

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesperson
For Immediate Release
STATEMENT BY SECRETARY MICHAEL R. POMPEO
June 24, 2020
Empty Promises from the People’s Republic China in Africa
The American people continue to stand with our partners across Africa in confronting the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.  We’ve invested more than $100 billion in public health sectors in sub-Saharan Africa over the last 20 years and more than $360 million in COVID-19 response so far.  This is what a long-term partnership committed to building a healthier, more prosperous Africa looks like. Our government, U.S. philanthropists, and American businesses invest so heavily in Africa’s health because a healthy population makes Africa — and the rest of the world — safer and more prosperous.
At last week’s China-Africa Summit we unfortunately saw more empty promises and tired platitudes from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). While President Xi said, “we must always put our people and their lives front and center,” he failed to promise real transparency and accountability for the PRC’s role in unleashing this deadly virus. He was not putting lives front and center when the CCP hid the truth about COVID-19 from the world until it was too late, and now we continue to suffer through the disastrous results of those actions.
We note the PRC’s stated commitment to “earnestly” implement the G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI), as it’s no secret the PRC is by far the largest bilateral creditor to African governments, creating an unsustainable debt burden. Most U.S. foreign assistance, by contrast, comes in the form of grants rather than loans, in order to promote transparent, private sector-led economic growth that benefits all parties.  Public disclosure of official loans helps hold governments accountable for their decisions and prevent corruption – behavior that deprives citizens of opportunities and undermines national sovereignty.  The CCP needs to move beyond vague public statements and start to fully and transparently implement the DSSI in accordance with its G20 commitments.
The United States remains Africa’s most committed partner in promoting transparency and combatting the scourge of infectious disease.  Empty promises and misleading propaganda won’t help get us closer to the truth.

美国深切关注在中华人民共和国（PRC）的美国和其他外国记者所面临日益严峻的监控、骚扰和恐吓，包括报道最近发生的河南洪患灾情和伤亡的外国记者。美国政府重申美国人民对所有灾民的慰问之意。
PRC政府宣称欢迎外国媒体并支持他们的工作，但其行动却是大相径庭。其对任何视为批评PRC政策的新闻，借由通过官方媒体宣导的强硬言论，挑起负面公众情绪，进而造成紧张、当面冲突和骚扰，包括在网上对只是尽其职责的记者的言语虐待和死亡威胁。外国记者日益面临签证被拒或不许留在PRC，严重限制重要议题独立报道的质与量。我们要求PRC表现像一个想要欢迎外国媒体和全世界来到即将举办的北京2022年冬奥会和冬残奥会负责任的国家。
常务副国务卿谢尔曼与PRC官员于7月26日在天津会晤时，特别提到媒体采访自由、不被骚扰的自由和新闻自由。我们要求PRC官员确保记者的持续安全并得以自由报道。

PRESS STATEMENT
NED PRICE, DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON
JULY 29, 2021
The United States is deeply concerned with the increasingly harsh surveillance, harassment, and intimidation of U.S. and other foreign journalists in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including foreign journalists covering the devastation and loss of life caused by recent floods in Henan. The U.S. government reiterates the condolences of the American people to all those affected.
The PRC government claims to welcome foreign media and support their work, but its actions tell a different story. Its harsh rhetoric, promoted through official state media, toward any news it perceives to be critical of PRC policies, has provoked negative public sentiment leading to tense, in-person confrontations and harassment, including online verbal abuse and death threats of journalists simply doing their jobs. Foreign journalists are increasingly refused visas to enter or remain in the PRC, severely limiting the quantity and quality of independent reporting on important issues. We call on the PRC to act as a responsible nation hoping to welcome foreign media and the world for the upcoming Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In her July 26 meetings with PRC officials in Tianjin, Deputy Secretary Sherman specifically raised the importance of media access, freedom from harassment, and press freedom. We call on PRC officials to ensure that journalists remain safe and able to report freely.

Deputy Secretary Sherman’s Meeting with the EU Political and Security Committee

READOUT
OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON
JANUARY 11, 2022
The below is attributable to Spokesperson Ned Price:
Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman met with ambassadors from the EU’s Political and Security Committee today in Brussels to discuss Russia’s unprovoked military build-up along Ukraine’s border and to provide a readout of the U.S.-Russia Strategic Stability Dialogue, which was held yesterday in Geneva.  The meeting underscored the U.S. commitment to work closely with the EU and its member states to address this urgent challenge together.  They affirmed the United States’ and EU’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.  The Deputy Secretary thanked the Committee for their work to ensure any further Russian military invasion of Ukraine would result in severe costs, including coordinated economic measures, for the Russian Federation.
