关于美国智库的透明度和外国资金来源
2020年10月13日 美国东部夏令时间上午10:38
迈克尔·R·蓬佩奥国务卿
美国国务院与学术界、智库以及外交事务方面的各种外部专长来源保持密切联系，以推进美国的利益。在这样做的时候，我们欢迎多样化的观点，但是我们有注意到一些外国政府——比如中华人民共和国（PRC）和俄罗斯联邦的政府——试图通过说客、外部专家和智库对美国外交政策施加影响。
智库在外交事务运作上的独特作用使得与外国资金来源有关的透明度比以往任何时候都更为重要。为保护公民社会机构的完整性，美国国务院从今以后要求希望与国务院进行往来的智库及其他外交政策组织在他们的网站上以显著的方式披露他们从外国政府——包括国有或国家运营的附属实体——那里获得的资金。
信息披露不是与此类实体来往的必要条件。但是，美国国务院的工作人员会留意信息是否已被披露，同时也会在确定是否与此类实体来往以及如何与其来往时留意获披露的具体资金来源。此政策区别于《外国代理人注册法》（FARA，《美国法典》第22卷第611条及其后各条）的披露要求。
我们希望很快会有一天，美国能够在中国和俄罗斯等地推动关于经济和个人自由、平等的公民身份、法治以及真正的公民社会的自由、公开的对话。

On Transparency and Foreign Funding of U.S. Think Tanks
10/13/2020 10:38 AM EDT
Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
The Department of State maintains close ties with the academic community, think tanks, and various external sources of expertise in foreign affairs to advance the interests of the United States. We welcome diverse views when doing so. We are mindful, however, that some foreign governments, such as those of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Russian Federation, seek to exert influence over U.S. foreign policy through lobbyists, external experts, and think tanks.
The unique role of think tanks in the conduct of foreign affairs makes transparency regarding foreign funding more important than ever. To protect the integrity of civil society institutions, the Department requests henceforth that think tanks and other foreign policy organizations that wish to engage with the Department disclose prominently on their websites funding they receive from foreign governments, including state-owned or state-operated subsidiary entities.
Disclosure is not a requirement for engaging with such entities. Department staff will, however, be mindful of whether disclosure has been made and of specific funding sources that are disclosed when determining whether and how to engage. This policy is distinct from disclosure requirements under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), 22 U.S.C. 611 et seq.
We hope one day soon that U.S. efforts to promote free and open dialogue about economic and personal liberty, equal citizenship, the rule of law, and authentic civil society, will be possible in places such as China and Russia.
乔·拜登总统就COVID-19新冠疫情溯源调查工作发表声明
白宫
华盛顿哥伦比亚特区
2021年5月26日
2020年初，在COVID-19新冠疫情发端之际，我要求疾病预防和控制中心（CDC）能够前往中国了解这种病毒的情况，从而使我们抗击病毒的工作更为有效。由于我们的调查人员无法在早期几个月实地开展工作，对COVID-19新冠疫情进行的溯源调查屡屡受阻。
尽管如此，我就任总统后，很快就在3月份要求我的国家安全顾问（National Security Advisor）责成情报系统（Intelligence Community）准备一份最新的COVID-19新冠疫情溯源分析报告，包括疾病是否来源于人体与受感染的动物接触，或者始于某实验室事故。这个月初，我收到这份报告，并要求进一步后续追查。截至今天，美国情报系统“归结为两种可能的情况”，但尚未就这个问题达成确切的结论。他们目前的状态是：“情报系统有两个部门倾向于前者，一个部门倾向于后者——各自的确定性为低度或中度——大多数不认为有足够的信息可以评估一种情况比另一种情况更有可能。”
我已要求情报系统再接再厉搜集和分析有关信息，使我们能更接近于得出确定的结论，在90天内再向我提出报告。作为这份报告的一部分，我已要求纳入可能需要进一步调查的各个方面，包括涉及中国的具体问题。我还要求这项工作纳入我们各国家实验室（National Labs）和我国政府其他机构的工作，为情报系统的努力提供助力。我已要求情报系统随时向国会（Congress）全面通报有关的工作。
美国还将坚持与全世界志同道合的伙伴共同要求中国参加全面、透明、注重实证的国际调查，为取得所有的相关数据和证据提供渠道。

Statement by President Joe Biden on the Investigation into the Origins of COVID-19
May 26, 2021
Back in early 2020, when COVID-19 emerged, I called for the CDC to get access to China to learn about the virus so we could fight it more effectively. The failure to get our inspectors on the ground in those early months will always hamper any investigation into the origin of COVID-19.
Nevertheless, shortly after I became President, in March, I had my National Security Advisor task the Intelligence Community to prepare a report on their most up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident. I received that report earlier this month, and asked for additional follow-up. As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has “coalesced around two likely scenarios” but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question. Here is their current position: “while two elements in the IC leans toward the former scenario and one leans more toward the latter – each with low or moderate confidence – the majority of elements do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.”
I have now asked the Intelligence Community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days. As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further inquiry that may be required, including specific questions for China. I have also asked that this effort include work by our National Labs and other agencies of our government to augment the Intelligence Community’s efforts. And I have asked the Intelligence Community to keep Congress fully apprised of its work.
The United States will also keep working with like-minded partners around the world to press China to participate in a full, transparent, evidence-based international investigation and to provide access to all relevant data and evidence.

在第30个一年一度的世界新闻自由日（World Press Freedom Day）到来之际，美国向世界各地杰出的新闻工作者和媒体专业人士表示深深的感谢，他们的工作使信息与思想能够流通，而这是自由和开放社会的命脉。今天我们也要深思众多的新闻工作者为从事这一崇高职业所付出的巨大牺牲。
有太多的政府使用压制手段来禁止言论自由，包括对仅是在履行职责的记者进行报复。我们再次呼吁俄罗斯当局立即释放《华尔街日报》记者埃文·格什科维奇（Evan Gershkovich）和所有其他因行使言论自由而被拘押的新闻工作者。
监禁并不是记者面临的唯一威胁。报道暴力冲突和腐败情况的新闻工作者会受到恫吓和绑架，而这些行径往往不受惩罚。在其他地方，新闻工作者面临歧视、审查和被武器化的司法系统。世界各地都有政府利用种种镇压工具迫使媒体机构关闭。
值此世界新闻自由日，我们再次作出承诺，在国内保护新闻自由，在全球促进新闻自由。

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MAY 3, 2023
On the 30th annual World Press Freedom Day, the United States extends our deep gratitude to the remarkable journalists and media professionals around the world whose work ensures the flow of information and ideas that form the lifeblood of free and open societies.  Today we also reflect on the tremendous sacrifice paid by so many journalists in performing this noble vocation.
Far too many governments use repression to silence free expression, including through reprisals against journalists for simply doing their jobs.  We again call on Russian authorities to immediately release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and all other journalists held for exercising freedom of expression.
Imprisonment is not the only threat reporters face.  Journalists covering violent conflict and corruption are subjected to intimidation and abduction, often perpetrated with impunity.  Elsewhere, journalists face discrimination, censorship, and weaponized justice systems.  Governments around the world have used various tools of repression to force media outlets to close.
On this World Press Freedom Day, we rededicate ourselves to protecting press freedom at home and promoting it across the globe.

特朗普总统在2019州长舞会上的讲话
我们将前往越南河内，并且我们将和金正恩会晤。这说起来很有意思，但我已经发展出了非常非常好的关系，我们以后会知道那是什么意思。……我没有在催速度，但我们不会解除制裁。我认为，我们在越南的两天半将会非常有意思。我们有机会在世界上曾经非常危险的一个地区实现完全无核化。……正如我对金委员长所说，他有机会拥有一个经济十分繁荣的国家，也许是世界上最繁荣的国家之一。他拥有让人难以置信的地理位置。作为一位房地产人士，我在地理位置上一直做得很好。但是他是在中国、俄罗斯还有另一侧的韩国之间。所以如果不经过北朝鲜，他们就够不到彼此。
我说：“你有最棒的地理位置之一。”他们有了不起的人民，勤劳的人民，有智慧，有活力。而且我觉得它真的可以成为伟大的—世界上伟大的金融和经济国家之一。所以我告诉他这一点。我说：“但是如果你要保留核，你就不能做到这些。如果你要发展核，这些就永远不会发生。”……日本的安倍首相说过他都无法相信在如此之短的一段时间里所发生的事情，因为以前有火箭发射，飞越日本上空—火箭和导弹，都有。而现在这样的事已经很久没有发生了—16个月、17个月。不再有试验，不再有火箭，不再去检查看这些东西是否能用。

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMPAT 2019 GOVERNORS’ BALL
February 24, 2019
We’ll be leaving for Hanoi, Vietnam, and we’ll be meeting with Kim Jong Un.  It’s a very interesting thing to say, but I’ve developed a very, very good relationship.  We’ll see what that means.…I’m not pushing for speed, but we’re not removing the sanctions.  And we’re going to have, I think, a very interesting two and a half days in Vietnam.  And we have a chance for the total denuclearization of an area of the world that was very dangerous.
…
And as I tell Chairman Kim, he has a chance to have a country that is so vibrant, economically.  Maybe one of the most in the world.  He’s got a location that’s unbelievable.  As a real-estate person, I’ve always done very well with location.  But he’s right between China, Russia, and then on the other side, South Korea.  So they can’t touch each other unless they go through North Korea.
And I say, “You have one of the greatest locations.”  They have incredible people.  Hardworking people.  Smart, energetic.  And I think it can be, really, one of the great — one of the great financial and economic countries anywhere in the world.  So I tell him that.  I said, “But you can’t do that if you’re going to keep nuclear.  If you do nuclear, that can’t ever happen.”…Prime Minister Abe of Japan said he can’t believe what’s happened in such a short period of time, because rockets were being fired over Japan — rockets and missiles.  Both.  And now that hasn’t happened in a long time — 16 months, 17 months.  No more testing.  No more rockets.  No more checking to see whether or not this stuff works.
国际宗教自由日 
2019年10月27日东部夏令时间上午8：14
国务卿迈克尔·R·蓬佩奥
宗教自由是受到珍视的美国价值观和基本自由。开国元勋们并不是将宗教自由理解为国家的创造，而是人类不可剥夺的与生俱来的权利。今天，我们纪念1998年国际宗教自由法案（IRF 法案）21周年，这一具有里程碑意义的立法首次使促进和捍卫国际宗教自由成为美国外交政策的明确重点。
不幸的是，全世界80％以上的人口居住在宗教自由受到高度或严格限制的国家。在太多地方，政府和非国家行为体阻止个人按照自己的良心安排生活。但是，在个人因其信仰而被杀害、入狱、骚扰或折磨时，我们不会袖手旁观。我们将与那些寻求实现其信仰要求的人们站在一起，并支持他们。攻击任何地方的宗教自由是对所有地方宗教自由的冒犯。
如果其境内的个人被边缘化或受到压迫，政府将永远无法发挥其全部潜力。只有充分拥护和保护宗教自由，各国才能实现其经济愿望、确保安全并根除恐怖主义。今天，我们重申，每个人都有权享有思想、良心和宗教自由，包括改变自己的宗教或信仰的自由，以及在公共或私人场所、单独或与他人一起的团体内通过教义、遵行、敬拜和持戒表明其宗教或信仰。

Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Freedom of religion is a cherished American value and a fundamental freedom. The Founding Fathers understood religious freedom not as the state’s creation, but as the unalienable birthright of human beings. Today, we commemorate the 21st anniversary of the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act (IRF Act), landmark legislation that – for the first time – made promoting and defending international religious freedom a specific focus of U.S. foreign policy.
Unfortunately, more than 80 percent of the world’s population live in countries with high or severe restrictions on religious freedom. In far too many places, governments and non-state actors prevent individuals from organizing their lives in accord with their conscience. However, we will not sit back as individuals are killed, jailed, harassed, or tortured for their faith. We will stand with and for all those seeking to live out the dictates of their faiths. An attack on religious freedom anywhere is an affront to religious freedom everywhere.
A government can never reach its full potential if individuals within its borders are marginalized or oppressed. Only by fully embracing and protecting religious freedom can countries achieve their economic aspirations, ensure security, and eradicate terrorism. Today, we reaffirm that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, including the freedom to change one’s religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his or her religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

The below is attributable to Spokesperson Matthew Miller:
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and PRC Director of the CCP Central Foreign Affairs Office Wang Yi met in Jakarta, Indonesia on July 13, 2023.
The meeting was part of ongoing efforts to maintain open channels of communication to clarify U.S. interests across a wide range of issues and to responsibly manage competition by reducing the risk of misperception and miscalculation. This is what the world expects of the United States and the PRC.
The Secretary and Director Wang had candid and constructive discussions on a range of bilateral, regional, and global issues, including on areas of difference and potential areas of cooperation. The Secretary emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
The Secretary used the meeting to advance U.S. interests and values, to directly raise concerns shared by the United States and allies and partners regarding PRC actions, and advocate for progress on transnational challenges that affect people in the United States, the PRC, and around the world.
He made clear that the United States, together with our allies and partners, will advance our vision for a free, open, and rules-based international order. The two sides agreed to maintain open channels of communication in the weeks and months ahead.
美国进入21世纪，经济空前强大，采取的多项措施也更为成功。美国的人口不足世界人口的5％，其经济产出却占全球25％以上。20世纪90年代，美国经济经历了历时最长的持续扩张。计算机、电信和生物科学领域的技术革新浪潮正在深刻地影响美国人的工作和生活方式。
美国一直实行“市场经济”。美国人的信念是，由众多独立的买方和卖方的供需而不是政府或强大的个人利益来决定生产产品的种类、制定商品的价格，这样的经济将是运行最出色的经济。
除了信奉自由的市场可以提高经济效能外，美国人还将其视为推广其政治价值观的一种方法，尤其是他们对个人自由和政治多元化所承担的责任及其对权力不当集中的反对。美国人信仰“自由企业”，这并不排除政府的重要作用。美国人不时会依赖政府来瓦解那些权力过分发展以至于可能藐视市场力量的企业或者对其进行管理。他们依靠政府解决个体经济忽略的问题，如教育、环境保护等等。尽管提倡市场原理，他们有时候通过政府来发展新产业，有时甚至要在竞争中保护美国的企业。

The United States entered the 21st century with an economy that was bigger, and by many measures more successful, than ever. Though the United States held less than 5 percent of the world’s population, it accounted for more than 25 percent of the world’s economic output. In the 1990s, the American economy recorded the longest uninterrupted period of expansion in its history. A wave of technological innovations in computing, telecommunications, and the biological sciences were profoundly affecting how Americans work and play.
The United States remains a “market economy.” Americans continue to believe that an economy generally operates best when decisions about what to produce and what prices to charge for goods are made through the give-and-take of millions of independent buyers and sellers, not by government or by powerful private interests.
Besides believing that free markets promote economic efficiency, Americans see them as a way of promoting their political values as well — especially, their commitment to individual freedom and political pluralism and their opposition to undue concentrations of power. The American belief in “free enterprise” has not precluded a major role for government, however. Americans at times have looked to government to break up or regulate companies. that appeared to be developing so much power that they could defy market forces. They have relied on government to address matters the private economy overlooks, from education to protecting the environment. And despite their advocacy of market principles, they have used government at times to nurture new industries, and at times even to protect American companies from competition.

“天安门”三十三周年
明天，我们将纪念北京天安门大屠杀 33 周年。当年，成千上万的民主抗议者以和平方式聚集在天安门，呼吁实行民主、问责、自由和法治。1989 年 6 月 4 日，为期 50 天的抗议活动在中华人民共和国军队的残酷镇压下戛然而止。无数人身陷囹圄，至今死亡人数不明。
这些勇敢的人们做出的努力不会被遗忘。每年，我们都会纪念那些为捍卫人权和基本自由挺身而出的人并向他们致敬。虽然很多人不再能够发出自己的声音，但我们和世界各地许许多多的人继续代表他们站出来，支持他们促进民主和个人权利的和平努力。
今天，争取民主和自由的斗争继续在香港发出回响，在那里，中华人民共和国和香港当局禁止为纪念天安门广场大屠杀而举行的一年一度的烛光晚会，试图抹去那一天的记忆。我们将继续大声疾呼，并推动对在中华人民共和国——包括香港、新疆和西藏——发生的暴行和侵犯人权行为追究责任。我们谨在此寄语中国人民和那些继续反对不公正和寻求自由的人们：我们不会忘记6月4日。

Tomorrow, we commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, where tens of thousands of pro-democracy protestors peacefully joined together to call for democracy, accountability, freedom, and rule of law.  The 50-day protest ended abruptly on June 4, 1989, with a brutal assault by the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) military.  Countless were imprisoned and the number of deaths is still unknown today.
The efforts of these brave individuals will not be forgotten.  Each year, we honor and remember those who stood up for human rights and fundamental freedoms.  While many are no longer able to speak up themselves, we and many around the world continue to stand up on their behalf and support their peaceful efforts to promote democracy and the rights of individuals.
Today, the struggle for democracy and freedom continues to echo in Hong Kong, where the annual vigil to commemorate the massacre in Tiananmen Square was banned by the PRC and Hong Kong authorities in an attempt to suppress the memories of that day.  We will continue to speak out and promote accountability for PRC atrocities and human rights abuses, including those in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet.  To the people of China and to those who continue to stand against injustice and seek freedom, we will not forget June 4.
