美国深感不安地获悉中国共产党针对我们在英国的友人的胁迫性欺凌伎俩还在继续。最新的一个事例是，英国汇丰银行（HSBC）据报禁止壹传媒（Next Media）这个广为人知的亲民主刊物的出版商在香港的主管使用他们的信用卡和个人银行账户。该银行以此保留了因剥夺香港人的自由而受到制裁的个人的账户，同时却关闭了那些追求自由的人士的账户。
仅在数月之前，汇丰银行亚太区首席执行官（Asia-Pacific CEO）在一份请愿书上签名，支持北京碾压香港的自治以及香港人民的自由的决定。自由的国家必须确保企业利益不会被中共收买来助长其政治镇压。我们随时准备帮助英国政府和英国公司抵制中共的欺凌并支持自由。

PRESS STATEMENT
MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE
AUGUST 26, 2020
The United States is dismayed to learn that the Chinese Communist Party’s coercive bullying tactics against our friends in the United Kingdom continues. In the latest example, British bank HSBC has reportedly prevented Hong Kong-based executives at Next Media, a well-known publisher of pro-democracy publications, from accessing their credit cards and personal bank accounts. The bank is thus maintaining accounts for individuals who have been sanctioned for denying freedom for Hong Kongers, while shutting accounts for those seeking freedom.
Only a few months ago, HSBC’s Asia-Pacific CEO signed a petition supporting Beijing’s decision to crush Hong Kong’s autonomy and its people’s freedoms. Free nations must ensure that corporate interests are not suborned by the CCP to aid its political repression. We stand ready to help the British government and its companies resist CCP bullying and stand for freedom.

据多个报道称，中华人民共和国政府骚扰、监禁或任意拘押了将自己的故事公之于众的维吾尔穆斯林活动人士和新疆拘留营幸存者的家人。美国对此依然深感不安。在某些情况下，这些虐待行为是在与国务院高级官员会面后不久发生的。
我谨代表国务部，向直接受到中国共产党镇压运动影响的勇敢个人及其家属表示诚挚的慰问，他们包括Ferkat Jawdut、Alfred Erkin和Zumrat Dawut。最近，Dawut女士得知，她年迈的父亲近期在不明情况下去世。据报道，近年来中国当局在新疆多次拘押和审讯他。
维吾尔维权人士大胆发声的勇气，对于揭露中国侵犯人权（包括压制宗教自由）的真相至关重要。我们再次呼吁北京停止对居住在中国境外的维吾尔人的所有骚扰，释放所有被任意拘押的人，并允许他们的家人免受后续影响地自由交流。

Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
The United States remains deeply troubled by multiple reports that the government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has harassed, imprisoned, or arbitrarily detained family members of Uighur Muslim activists and survivors of Xinjiang internment camps who have made their stories public.  In some cases, these abuses occurred shortly after meetings with senior State Department officials.
On behalf of the Department of State, I want to express our sincere condolences to the brave individuals and their families who have been directly impacted by the Chinese Communist Party’s campaign of repression, including Ferkat Jawdut, Alfred Erkin, and Zumrat Dawut.  Most recently, Ms. Dawut learned her elderly father, who was reportedly detained and interrogated multiple times by Chinese authorities in Xinjiang in recent years, recently passed away under unknown circumstances.
The courage of Uighur advocates to speak out is vital to unearthing the truth about the PRC’s abuses of human rights, including repression of freedom of religion.  We once again call on Beijing to cease all harassment of Uighurs living outside of China, to release all those arbitrarily detained, and to allow families to communicate freely without repercussions.

长期以来，中国共产党一直企图传播马克思–列宁意识形态并在全世界施加影响。中国共产党统一战线工作部（统战部）资助和支持海外组织进行宣传，并且胁迫和欺凌那些反对北京政策的人。统战部频繁恐吓一些学术界、商界、公民社会团体和华人社群成员，包括少数族裔和宗教少数群体成员，因为这些人公开反对发生在新疆、西藏和中国其他地方的骇人听闻的侵犯人权行为。其胁迫策略针对的是被视为违背中共利益的个人。这些策略包括在网上公布目标人物甚至其家人的个人资料（“人肉搜索”），以此作为政治恐吓的手段。
今天，我根据《移民与国籍法》第212(a)(3)(C)条行使我的权力，对中华人民共和国和中国共产党官员，或在统战部活动中活跃的个人，实施签证限制。这些人参与的事包括使用或威胁使用人身暴力、盗窃和发布私人信息、间谍和破坏活动、或者恶意干涉国内政治事务、学术自由、个人隐私或商业活动。这些恶意活动的目的是为了拉拢和胁迫美国和其他国家的地方领导人、海外华人社群、学术界和其他公民社会团体，以推进中国共产党的威权叙事和政策偏好。我将继续实施这种签证限制，以明确表示美国不欢迎那些应为违反有章可循的国际秩序的行动承担责任的人。
美国呼吁中华人民共和国停止使用胁迫和恐吓策略来压制表达自由。美国将继续重新评估美国应对这些关切的法律权力。

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has long sought to spread Marxist-Leninist ideology and exert its influence all over the world. The CCP’s United Front Work Department funds and supports overseas organizations to spread propaganda and coerces and bullies those who would oppose Beijing’s policies. The United Front frequently intimidates members of academia, businesses, civil society groups, and Chinese diaspora communities, including members of ethnic and religious minority communities who speak out against horrific human rights abuses taking place in Xinjiang, Tibet, and elsewhere in China. Its coercive tactics target individuals viewed as working against CCP interests. These tactics include the release of personal details (“doxing”) of their targets and even their family members online as a means of political intimidation.
Today, I am exercising my authority under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to impose visa restrictions on PRC and CCP officials, or individuals active in United Front Work Department activities, who have engaged in the use or threat of physical violence, theft and release of private information, espionage, sabotage, or malicious interference in domestic political affairs, academic freedom, personal privacy, or business activity. These malign activities are intended to co-opt and coerce sub-national leaders, overseas Chinese communities, academia, and other civil society groups both in the United States and other countries in furtherance of the CCP’s authoritarian narratives and policy preferences. I will continue to implement such visa restrictions to make clear that those responsible for actions that contravene the rules-based international order are not welcome in the United States.
The United States calls on the PRC to end its use of coercion and intimidation tactics to suppress freedom of expression. The United States will continue to review its authorities to respond to these concerns.

$200 Million in New Security Assistance for Ukraine

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MARCH 12, 2022
The people of Ukraine are inspiring the world as they defend their country from Russia’s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified invasion of their country. The United States and our Allies and partners stand in solidarity with the people and government of Ukraine in the face of the Kremlin’s aggression.
Exercising the additional authority provided in the extension of the continuing resolution, I have immediately authorized today, pursuant to a delegation by the President, a fourth Presidential Drawdown of up to $200 million for additional military assistance for Ukraine’s defense. This package will include further defensive assistance to help Ukraine meet the armored, airborne, and other threats it is facing. This drawdown will bring the total security assistance provided by the United States to Ukraine to more than $1.2 billion since the beginning of the Administration.
We salute the armed forces of Ukraine and all Ukrainian citizens who are defending their country with great skill, iron will, and profound courage. America and its Allies support their efforts to defend their country and protect their fellow citizens, and urge Russia to recognize that force will never defeat Ukraine’s spirit. We are committed to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and will continue to provide Ukraine the support it needs.
We will also continue to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need and to back the people of Ukraine in their fight for their country through security and economic assistance. The international community is united and determined to hold Putin accountable.

将人权置于美国外交政策核心
美国国务院
发言人办公室
华盛顿特区
2021年2月24日
美国致力于实现一个人权受到保护、维权人士受到赞许、践踏人权者受到追究的世界。促进尊重人权不可能由我们独自完成，而是要通过与我们全球各地的盟国和伙伴的共同努力才能最好实现。拜登（Biden）总统致力的外交方针是，将我们的民主价值观与我们的外交领导作用相结合，并以捍卫民主和保护人权为核心。
今天，本政府朝着这个方向迈出重要一步，宣布美国有意争取从2022年1月开始当选联合国人权理事会（UN Human Rights Council）成员。美国长期以来一直是人权的积极倡导者。如果选入人权理事会，我们将运用这一机会，成为理事会中促进尊重人权的带头声音。
人权理事会是致力于推进国际人权工作的重要多边场所，为推动对侵犯和践踏人权追究责任发挥了关键作用。从调查叙利亚和北韩的侵权行径，到促进妇女和男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和间性者（LGBTQI）以及其他少数族群的人权，到反击种族主义和宗教迫害，人权理事会必须为同非正义和暴政专制作斗争的人提供支持。
我们认识到理事会自身也存在挑战，包括令人不可接受的对以色列的偏见以及允许有极其恶劣人权记录的国家在理事会占有他们不配得到的席位的成员标准。但是，成为理事会的一员是改进理事会和推动它的重要工作的最佳途径。
我们寻求返回人权理事会，与盟国和伙伴国并肩站在一起，确保这个重要机构实现其自身的目标。我们决心通过倾听、学习和为人权将受普世尊重的世界而奋斗做到这点。

Putting Human Rights at the Center of U.S. Foreign Policy
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesperson
For Immediate Release
STATEMENT BY SECRETARY ANTONY J. BLINKEN
Putting Human Rights at the Center of U.S. Foreign Policy
The United States is committed to a world in which human rights are protected, their defenders are celebrated, and those who commit human rights abuses are held accountable. Promoting respect for human rights is not something we can do alone, but is best accomplished working with our allies and partners across the globe. President Biden is committed to a foreign policy that unites our democratic values with our diplomatic leadership, and one that is centered on the defense of democracy and the protection of human rights.
Today, the administration took an important step in that direction by announcing the U.S. intent to seek election to a seat on the UN Human Rights Council starting in January 2022. The United States has long been a champion of human rights. If elected to the Human Rights Council, we will use the opportunity to be a leading voice within the Council for promoting respect for human rights.
The Human Rights Council is an important multilateral venue dedicated to furthering international human rights efforts and has played a critical role in promoting accountability for human rights violations and abuses. From investigations into abuses in Syria and North Korea to promoting the human rights for women and LGBTQI persons and other minorities, and combatting racism and religious persecution, the Human Rights Council must support those fighting against injustice and tyranny.
We acknowledge challenges at the Council as well, including unacceptable bias against Israel and membership rules that allow countries with atrocious human rights records to occupy seats they do not merit. However, improving the Council and advancing its critical work is best done with a seat at the table.
We seek to return to the Human Rights Council to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies and partners to ensure that this important body lives up to its purpose. We do so with determination to listen, learn, and work toward a world in which human rights are universally respected.

APRIL 4, 2023
 
Pursuant to a delegation of authority from President Biden, I am authorizing our 35th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine valued at $500 million.  This military assistance package includes more ammunition for U.S.-provided HIMARS, air defense interceptors, and artillery rounds that Ukraine is using to defend itself, as well as anti-armor systems, small arms, heavy equipment transport vehicles, and maintenance support essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield.  In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense is announcing a significant package that includes air defense capabilities, as well as artillery and tank ammunition, mortar systems, rockets, and anti-armor systems under its Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. This new security assistance will allow Ukraine to continue to bravely defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war.
 
Russia alone could end its war today.  Until Russia does, the United States and our allies and partners will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
体育在美国的经济和文化中占据相当大的部分。在美国，愿意参加几乎任何体育运动的人随处可见。棒球、美式橄榄球(American football)、篮球和曲棍球可以说是美国最流行的运动。足球(football)（在美国称“英式足球(soccer)”）在美国的中学和高校中十分受欢迎，作为职业运动则仍在兴起中。七人制橄榄球(rugby)和板球也是的流行校内运动。
体育运动既是将整个国家系在一起的社会粘合剂，也是传播正义与公平竞争、团队合作与牺牲等价值观的载体。随着体育术语和表达逐渐融入日常生活，体育运动促进了种族和社会融合，甚至促进了语言的发展。 体育也是文学艺术的热门话题，在小说和电影中尤其如此。
体育对美国社会的重要影响得到了美国政府的认可。总统身体健康与体育理事会(the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports)特别强调对团队合作、自律和体育精神等技能的追求。这种追求是促进、鼓励和激励各年龄段所有美国人强身健体、参与体育的催化剂。

Sports make up a considerable portion of the United States economy and culture. People can be found anywhere in the United States who are interested in participating in almost any sport. The most popular sports in the United States are arguably baseball, American football, basketball, and hockey. Football (called soccer in the United States) is very popular in secondary schools, colleges, and universities, but is still in the process of becoming a popular professional sport. Rugby and cricket are also popular intramural collegiate sports.
Sports are both a social glue bonding the country together and a vehicle for transmitting such values as justice and fair play, team work and sacrifice. They have contributed to racial and social integration, and even to the development of language, as sports terms and expressions slide into everyday usage. Sports also have been a popular focus for the arts, particularly in novels and films.
The important impact of sports on American society is acknowledged by the U.S. Government. The commitment to skills such as teamwork, self-discipline, and sportsmanship is especially highlighted by The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. It serves as a catalyst to promote, encourage and motivate the development of physical fitness and sports participation for all Americans of all ages.

对我们建立一个自由、开放的印度-太平洋地区的愿景以及美国的外交政策和国家安全来说，美国对善治的支持是必不可少的。在太多社会中，薄弱的机构组织、腐败、不透明的商业环境和恶劣的人权状况，赶走了私营部门的投资，并使外国恶意影响得以实现。印度-太平洋国家和区域机构认为透明度是实现我们共同的印度-太平洋愿景的基础，包括东盟的《印度-太平洋展望》。

Announced by Vice President Pence two years ago, the Indo-Pacific Transparency Initiative includes more than $1 billion in programs that promote civil society, rule of law, and transparent and accountable governance across the region.
The support of the United States for good governance is integral to our vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific, and to U.S. foreign policy and national security generally. Weak institutions, corruption, opaque business environments, and poor human rights conditions, drive away private-sector investment and enable foreign malign influence in too many societies. Indo-Pacific nations and regional institutions identify transparency as fundamental to the realization of our shared Indo-Pacific vision, including in ASEAN’s Outlook on the Indo-Pacific.
The Transparency Initiative encompasses over 200 programs developed by a range of U.S. government agencies focused on anti-corruption and fiscal transparency, democracy assistance, youth and emerging leader development, media and internet freedom, and protecting fundamental freedoms and human rights.

关于“12名港人”的命运
2020年12月31日 美国东部标准时间 上午11:36 
迈克尔·R·蓬佩奥国务卿
香港曾是一个繁荣的地方，直到中国共产党及其在当地的鹰犬摧毁了香港的法治并剥夺了香港人民的自由。尝试逃离这一暴政的“12名港人”理应在国外作为英雄受到欢迎，而非被捕、秘密审判和入狱服刑。美国强烈谴责深圳法院的行动并呼吁立即无条件释放其中被判处监禁的十名成员。
中国共产党对12名港人的迫害——其中两人在被捕时是未成年人——再次暴露了北京的残暴、对其签署的国际条约的公然无视以及对香港人民权利的蔑视。一个阻止其自己的人民离开的政权无法自称伟大或拥有全球领导力。它不过是一个惧怕自己人民的脆弱的独裁政权。

On the Fate of the “Hong Kong 12”
12/31/2020 11:36 AM EST
Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Hong Kong was a thriving territory until the Chinese Communist Party and its local lackeys destroyed its rule of law and eviscerated the Hong Kong people’s freedoms. The “Hong Kong 12” who tried to flee this tyranny deserved a hero’s welcome abroad, not capture, a secret trial, and prison sentences. The United States strongly condemns the Shenzhen court’s actions and calls for the ten members of the group who were sentenced to jail terms to be immediately and unconditionally released.
The CCP’s persecution of the Hong Kong 12 – two of whom were juveniles at the time of their arrest – exposes once again Beijing’s brutality, blatant disregard for the international treaties it has signed, and its disdain for the rights of the Hong Kong people. A regime that prevents its own people from leaving can lay no claim to greatness or global leadership. It is simply a fragile dictatorship, afraid of its own people.
