我们澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰和英国的外长及美国国务卿，对香港政府不公正地取消候选人资格及不当推迟立法会选举感到严重关切。这些举措破坏了民主进程这一香港稳定与繁荣之根本。
我们对北京强行实施新的《国家安全法》深表关切，该法正在侵蚀香港人民的基本权利和自由。
我们支持香港人民通过真正自由、公平和可信的选举来选举立法会议员的正当期望。我们呼吁香港政府恢复丧失资格的候选人的候选资格，以便选举能够在有利于行使民主权利和自由的环境中进行，正如在《基本法》所庄严载入的。北京在于联合国备案的条约《中英联合声明》中曾承诺在“一国两制”原则下给予香港人民自治和自由，它必须履行其承诺。我们敦促香港政府尽快举行选举。

Office of the Spokesperson
We the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and the United States Secretary of State are gravely concerned by the Hong Kong government’s unjust disqualification of candidates and disproportionate postponement of Legislative Council elections. These moves have undermined the democratic process that has been fundamental to Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity.
We express deep concern at Beijing’s imposition of the new National Security Law, which is eroding the Hong Kong people’s fundamental rights and liberties.
We support the legitimate expectations of the people of Hong Kong to elect Legislative Council representatives via genuinely free, fair, and credible elections. We call on the Hong Kong government to reinstate the eligibility of disqualified candidates so that the elections can take place in an environment conducive to the exercise of democratic rights and freedoms as enshrined in the Basic Law. Beijing promised autonomy and freedoms under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle to the Hong Kong people in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, a U.N.-registered treaty, and must honor its commitments. We urge the Hong Kong government to hold the elections as soon as possible.
国防部长马克·T·埃斯珀与中华人民共和国国防部长魏凤和将军举行会晤
2019年11月18日
国防部长马克·T·埃斯珀与中华人民共和国（PRC）国务委员兼国防部长魏凤和将军在泰国曼谷举行的东盟防长扩大会议的间隙举行了会晤。
埃斯珀部长在他被任命为国防部长之后与魏凤和将军的首次面对面会晤中进行了富有成效的交流。基于他们在2019年11月5日的视频会议讨论，埃斯珀部长进一步定义了他对以透明和互不侵犯为特征的有建设性、重结果的美中防务关系的愿景和优先事项。他强调了他想要加强沟通渠道、有效管理分歧以及找到共同点。
该会议推进埃斯珀部长的关注点：确保美中防务关系有助于防止和管理危机；减少误判或误解的风险；并增进在共同利益上的合作。

Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper Meeting with People’s Republic of China’s Minister of National Defense General Wei Fenghe
NOV. 18, 2019
Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper met with the State Councilor and Minister of National Defense, General Wei Fenghe, of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the margins of the ASEAN Defense Minister’s Meeting Plus held in Bangkok, Thailand.
Secretary Esper held a productive exchange with General Wei in their first in-person meeting since his appointment as Secretary of Defense.  Building on their November 5, 2019, video teleconference discussion, the Secretary further defined his vision and priorities for a constructive, results-oriented U.S.-China defense relationship marked by transparency and non-aggression. He emphasized his desire to strengthen communication channels, effectively manage differences, and find common ground.
The meeting advances Secretary Esper’s interest in ensuring the U.S.-China defense relationship serves to prevent and manage crisis; reduce risk of miscalculation or misunderstanding; and enhance cooperation on shared interests.
美国公民身份传递和辅助生殖技术
认识到辅助生殖技术（ART）的进步，美国国务院现更新我们对《移民与国籍法》（INA）第301条的解释与应用，该法条确立了出生时获得美国公民身份的要求。
海外出生的孩子，若其双亲中至少一方为美国公民并且在孩子出生时双亲已结婚，如果孩子与双亲中至少一方有遗传或妊娠关系并符合《移民与国籍法》的其他要求，那么孩子自出生起即成为美国公民。之前，美国国务院对《移民与国籍法》的解释与应用要求双亲中的美国公民与海外出生的孩子有遗传或妊娠关系。
这一对《移民与国籍法》更新后的解释与应用考虑到了现代家庭的现实情况以及自该法案于1952年实施后辅助生殖技术的进步。
这项改变将让更多已婚双亲将美国公民身份传给他们在海外出生的孩子，同时继续遵循《移民与国籍法》规定的公民身份传递要求。对双亲未婚生育的孩子的要求不变。
同时，我们对公民身份欺诈、剥削和滥用的风险保持警惕。如同我们检查的所有公民身份和移民福利一样，美国国务院执行这项政策时将应对这些关切 。

U.S. Citizenship Transmission and Assisted Reproductive Technology
Recognizing the advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), the State Department is updating our interpretation and application of Section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which establishes the requirements for acquisition of U.S. citizenship at birth.
Children born abroad to parents, at least one of whom is a U.S. citizen and who are married to each other at the time of the birth, will be U.S. citizens from birth if they have a genetic or gestational tie to at least one of their parents and meet the INA’s other requirements.  Previously, the Department’s interpretation and application of the INA required that children born abroad have a genetic or gestational relationship to a U.S. citizen parent.
This updated interpretation and application of the INA takes into account the realities of modern families and advances in ART from when the Act was enacted in 1952.
This change will allow increased numbers of married couples to transmit U.S. citizenship to their children born overseas, while continuing to follow the citizenship transmission requirements established in the INA.   Requirements for children born to unmarried parents remain unchanged.
At the same time, we remain vigilant to the risks of citizenship fraud, exploitation, and abuse.  As with all citizenship and immigration benefits we examine, the Department will implement this policy in a manner that addresses these concerns.

我们，美国、加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、日本、英国各国外长和欧洲联盟高级代表强调，我们严重关注中国决定对香港强行施加国家安全法一事。
中国的决定不符合《香港基本法》（Hong Kong Basic Law）及其根据在联合国登记的具有法律约束力的《中英联合声明》（Sino-British Joint Declaration）之原则做出的国际承诺。拟议的国家安全法可严重破坏“一国两制”的原则和该领土的高度自治。此事将对促使香港多年繁荣和成功的体系造成危害。
与利益相关方进行开放的辩论、磋商并尊重香港受到保护的权利和自由至关重要。
我们还极为关注这项行动将使所有受到法治和现行独立司法体系保护的全体居民之基本权利和自由遭到破坏和威胁。
我们强烈敦促中国政府重新考虑这个决定。

Office of the Spokesperson
The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the High Representative of the European Union.
Begin text:
We, the Foreign Ministers of the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the High Representative of the European Union underscore our grave concern regarding China’s decision to impose a national security law on Hong Kong.
China’s decision is not in conformity with the Hong Kong Basic Law and its international commitments under the principles of the legally binding, UN-registered Sino-British Joint Declaration. The proposed national security law would risk seriously undermining the “One Country, Two Systems” principle and the territory’s high degree of autonomy. It would jeopardize the system which has allowed Hong Kong to flourish and made it a success over many years.
Open debate, consultation with stakeholders, and respect for protected rights and freedoms in Hong Kong are essential.
We are also extremely concerned that this action would curtail and threaten the fundamental rights and freedoms of all the population protected by the rule of law and the existence of an independent justice system.
We strongly urge the Government of China to re-consider this decision.

国务卿安东尼·布林肯在线上民主峰会领导人全体会议上的开场致辞

布林肯国务卿：总统先生，非常感谢你启动民主峰会（Summit for Democracy）并促使我们思考如何能够增强我们的民主以便应对在这个新世纪摆在我们面前的种种挑战。
正如总统谈到的，我们一直非常期待今天的讨论，讨论所产生的后续行动，以及民主体如何能更好地造福于我们的人民。而且正如总统所言以及我认为我们都知道的，我们的民主体正在全世界面临着日益严峻的挑战——既来自内部也来自外部。公民对政府的信任下降，民主机制受到威胁——近年来我们已经看到了一种民主衰退。而且这些都是不容轻视的挑战。我们有很多工作要做。
但这正是我们今天集会的原因。在我们每个国家都面临切实挑战的同时，我们还知道民主依然是应对这些挑战并增进人类尊严的最有效的途径。从与公民社会接触到增强民主机制的改革，我们今天有一个巨大的机遇，可以相互学习对方的经验。而这正是促成这次集会的理念之一。
现在我们将开始一次闭门会议。我想恭请我们的媒体朋友离席，以便我们开始这次会议。

REMARKS
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
WASHINGTON, D.C.
DECEMBER 9, 2021

SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Mr. President, thank you so much for kicking off the Summit for Democracy and pushing us to consider how we can strengthen our democracies to meet the challenges before us in this new century.
As the President mentioned, we’ve been very much looking forward to today’s discussion, the work that’s going to follow from it, on how democracies can deliver better for our people.  And as the President said and as I think we all know, our democracies are facing growing challenges around the world – from within and from without.  Decreasing citizen trust in government, threats to democratic institutions – we’ve seen a democratic recession in recent years.  And these are not challenges to be taken lightly.  We have a lot of work to do.
But that’s exactly why we’re here today.  While each one of our countries faces real challenges, we also know that democracy remains the most effective way to tackle those challenges and to advance human dignity.  From engagements with civil society to reforms to strengthen democratic institutions, we have an immense opportunity today to learn from each other’s experiences.  And that’s really one of the driving ideas behind this gathering.
So we will now begin a closed-door session.  I’d respectfully request our friends from the media to leave the room as we get started on that.

在太空探索日，我们惊叹于我们国家在太空中的成就，纪念第一次登月50周年，并宣誓开启一个发现和探索我们的宇宙的新时代。
半个多世纪以来，美国一直将人类的探索引向伟大的未知世界。我们美国的故事中没有几个时刻比阿波罗11号任务更令人骄傲，1969年7月20日，当时尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和巴兹·奥尔德林一起将我们美丽的旗帜插入月球表面。那些在“壮丽的荒凉”上迈出的第一步代表了一个美国创新的非凡时代 ，它激励着后代成为科学家和工程师，并成为21世纪技术革命的催化剂。阿波罗11号登月是美国技术实力和太空领导力的一次壮观的展示，它是美国人心、勇气和决心在面对难以置信的挑战时所能达成的持久典范。
为了纪念那些前辈并为了全人类更好的明天，我们宣誓开启一个新的探索时代，将我们的开拓精神扩展到宇宙最远的地方。我的这届行政当局致力于重新确立我们国家未来几个世纪在太空的主导和领导地位。我已经指示美国国家航空航天局（NASA）将下一名男性和第一名女性送到月球，并将迈出下一个一大步——将美国人送到火星。从我们的地球到月球，再到火星表面的持续探索，将迎来美国独创性的新时代，吸引无数人进入科学、技术、工程、数学和国防领域。
在这个太空探索日，我们庆祝我们的巨大技术进步，向我们在对探索的追求中失去的那些人表示敬意，并拥抱激励我们的国家在太空领域引领世界的美国精神。

Presidential Message on Space Exploration Day, 2019
July 20, 2019
On Space Exploration Day, we marvel at our country’s accomplishments in space, commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing, and pledge to launch a new era of discovery and exploration of our universe.
For more than a half century, the United States has led humanity’s quest into the great unknown.  Few moments in our American story spark more pride than the Apollo 11 mission, when Neil Armstrong, alongside Buzz Aldrin, planted our beautiful flag into the Moon’s surface on July 20, 1969.  Those first steps upon that “magnificent desolation” represent a remarkable era in American innovation that has inspired future generations to become scientists and engineers and has served as a catalyst for the technological revolution of the 21st century.  The Apollo 11 lunar landing was a spectacular demonstration of American technical prowess and space leadership, and it served as an enduring example of what can be accomplished, in the face of incredible odds, by American heart, courage, and grit.
To honor those who have come before us and for the future betterment of all humankind, we pledge to launch a new era of exploration, extending our pioneering spirit into the farthest reaches of the cosmos.  My Administration is committed to reestablishing our Nation’s dominance and leadership in space for centuries to come.  I have instructed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to send the next man and first woman to the Moon and to take the next giant leap—sending Americans to Mars.  Sustained exploration that extends from our Earth to the Moon and on to the Martian surface will usher in a new era of American ingenuity, drawing untold individuals into the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and defense.
On this Space Exploration Day, we celebrate our tremendous technological advancements, honor those we have lost in the pursuit of discovery, and embrace the American Spirit that has inspired our Nation to lead the world in space.

U.S. Support for Democracy, Good Governance, and Human Rights in the Global Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
07/20/2020 09:38 AM EDT
Office of the Spokesperson
 
 
“Authoritarian regimes are poorly designed to deal with the kind of crisis that this pandemic has engendered.  Democracies, where we are free to critique and comment … these are the kinds of places where scientists and freedom and thought and journalists can all operate freely.  These are the societies that will deliver the right outcome … This is where we see the true benefit of freedom and liberty, and in the days and weeks and months ahead I am confident that the world will see that as well.”
                                                                                          — Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, April 29, 2020
The United States is committed to the protection of democracy, good governance, and human rights in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Societies that respect and defend human rights, fundamental freedoms, democratic institutions, and the rule of law are best equipped to respond transparently and effectively to crises.  A robust respect for human rights, as well as whole-of-society action, are necessary parts of the solution to public health crises.  Government responses to the COVID-19 epidemic must not use the disease as a pretext for repression of persons or ideas.
The United States Champions Democratic Responses to the COVID Crisis
The U.S. Government leverages bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, foreign assistance, and other foreign policy tools and resources to advance democratic norms and combat authoritarian responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.  At the State Department, the Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) has launched a COVID-19 Working Group to coordinate policy and programming on government transparency and accountability, full participation of civil society, and access to information.  The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG Center) has created a cross-cutting DRG Issues and COVID-19 Working Group.  The State Department and USAID have undertaken the following actions to date to advance democratic values during the pandemic:
