安东尼·J·布林肯国务卿
今早发布的政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）《减缓气候变化报告》明确指出了我们可以做些什么来遏制或延缓全球变暖。报告还显示，目前全球减缓气候危机的努力远未达标。若不能落实现有的国家承诺以及强有力、积极和有雄心的进一步行动，我们就无法实现将全球变暖限制在 1.5摄氏度的目标。
这就是为什么我们说这是决定性的十年。IPCC发现，所有部门现在都有办法可供选择，到2030年时可将全球排放减半——从提高能效到停止和逆转全球森林砍伐，到采用更可持续的交通运输方式和清洁能源。我们有办法来提高我们的成功机率，包括各级政府进行更高效的决策，让资金流与气候成果更加一致，以及加强国际合作。
这份报告还告诉我们有理由抱有希望。IPCC发现，我们正就必要的碳减排取得一些进展。通过已经采取的行动及从《巴黎协定》到第26次缔约方会议上作出的承诺，我们可以更接近于将全球变暖限制在2摄氏度，通过进一步努力，我们可以实现1.5摄氏度的目标。
这就是为什么本届政府从一开始就把应对气候危机作为其议程的中心。总统向国会提交的2023财年预算草案包括逾110亿美元的国际气候融资，以避免气候变化的最严重影响，同时支持发展中国家采取更有雄心的气候行动。
这份报告清楚地表明：避免气候危机最严重影响的工具牢牢掌握在我们手中。世界各国必须有足够的勇气使用它们。

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report on Mitigation

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
APRIL 4, 2022
This morning’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on mitigation  makes clear what we can do to stop or slow planetary warming.  The report also reveals how current global efforts to mitigate the climate crisis fall far short of what is needed.  Without full implementation of current national pledges and robust, aggressive, and ambitious further action we cannot keep the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal within reach.
That is why we have called this the decisive decade.  The IPCC found there are options available now, in all sectors, that can halve global emissions by 2030 – from improving energy efficiency, to halting and reversing global deforestation, to deploying more sustainable transportation and clean energy.  There are ways to improve our chances of success, including more effective decision-making across all levels of government, increased alignment of financial flows with climate outcomes, and enhanced international cooperation.
The report also tells us there is reason for hope.  The IPCC found we are making some progress towards the needed reductions in carbon emissions. With actions already taken, and the pledges made under the Paris Agreement through COP26, we can get closer to limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius, and with additional effort we can keep 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach.
That is why the Administration has made tackling the climate crisis a central part of its agenda from Day One.  The President’s FY 2023 budget request to Congress includes more than $11 billion in international climate finance to avert the worst impacts of climate change and to support developing countries in taking more ambitious climate action.
This report makes it clear:  the tools to stave off the worst impacts of the climate crisis are firmly within our grasp.  Nations of the world must be brave enough to use them.

过去两天，来自美国和中国的高级别官员就我们两国的经济关系进行了密集和富有成效的谈判。美国感谢整个会议期间刘鹤副总理和他的团队所做的准备、展现出的勤奋和专业精神。
这次谈判涉及了范围广泛的议题，包括：（1）美国公司被迫向中国公司转移技术的方式；（2）中国需要加强对知识产权的保护和执法；（3）美国公司在中国面临的众多关税和非关税壁垒；（4）中国对美国商业财产的网络盗窃造成的危害；（5）包括补贴和国有企业的市场扭曲力量如何导致产能过剩；（6）需要消除限制美国向中国出售制成品、服务和农业的市场壁垒和关税；以及 (7) 货币在美中贸易关系中的作用。双方还讨论了减少美国对中国巨大且不断增长的贸易逆差的需要。中国从美国农民、牧场主、制造商和企业购买美国产品是谈判的一个关键内容。
双方表示了愿意参与所有重大问题的良好意愿，并且各谈判会议以富有成效和技术性的讨论为特点，讨论了如何解决我们的分歧。美国特别关注在结构性问题和减少赤字方面达成有意义的承诺。双方同意任何决议将会完全执行。
虽然已经取得了进展，但仍有许多工作要做。唐纳德·J·特朗普总统重申，在布宜诺斯艾利斯同意的90天进程是一个严格的最后期限，如果美国和中国截止2019年3月1日不能达成令人满意的结果，美国关税将会增加。美国期待着在这些重要议题上与中国进一步谈判。

Issued on: January 31, 2019
For the last two days, high-ranking officials from the United States and China have engaged in intense and productive negotiations over the economic relationship between our two countries.  The United States appreciates the preparation, diligence, and professionalism shown throughout these meetings by Vice Premier Liu He and his team.
The talks covered a wide range of issues, including:  (1) the ways in which United States companies are pressured to transfer technology to Chinese companies; (2) the need for stronger protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in China; (3) the numerous tariff and non-tariff barriers faced by United States companies in China; (4) the harm resulting from China’s cyber-theft of United States commercial property; (5) how market-distorting forces, including subsidies and state-owned enterprises, can lead to excess capacity; (6) the need to remove market barriers and tariffs that limit United States sales of manufactured goods, services, and agriculture to China; and (7) the role of currencies in the United States–China trading relationship.  The two sides also discussed the need to reduce the enormous and growing trade deficit that the United States has with China.  The purchase of United States products by China from our farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and businesses is a critical part of the negotiations.
The two sides showed a helpful willingness to engage on all major issues, and the negotiating sessions featured productive and technical discussions on how to resolve our differences.  The United States is particularly focused on reaching meaningful commitments on structural issues and deficit reduction.  Both parties have agreed that any resolution will be fully enforceable.
While progress has been made, much work remains to be done.  President Donald J. Trump has reiterated that the 90-day process agreed to in Buenos Aires represents a hard deadline, and that United States tariffs will increase unless the United States and China reach a satisfactory outcome by March 1, 2019.  The United States looks forward to further talks with China on these vital topics.

We stand with the Venezuelan people, and we praise the fierce commitment to democratic principles of the elected members of the Venezuelan National Assembly. We commend the courage of the National Assembly’s leadership, particularly its president, Juan Guaido, and his decision to invoke the authorities of the Venezuelan Constitution.
We call on all Venezuelans to uphold and respect the role of the National Assembly, as established in the Venezuelan Constitution of 1999, and, in particular, for the security forces and the armed forces to respect all protections the constitution affords to Guaido and the other members of the National Assembly, especially their safety and welfare.
The people of Venezuela deserve to live in freedom in a democratic society governed by the rule of law. It is time to begin the orderly transition to a new government. We support the National Assembly’s call for all Venezuelans to work together, peacefully, to restore constitutional government and build a better future.
The United States government will continue to use the full weight of U.S. economic and diplomatic power to press for the restoration of democracy in Venezuela.

Office of the Spokesperson
The text of the following statement was released by the G7 foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union.
Begin Text: 
We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union, are united in condemning the coup in Myanmar.
We are deeply concerned by the detention of political leaders and civil society activists, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, and targeting of the media. We call upon the military to immediately end the state of emergency, restore power to the democratically elected government, to release all those unjustly detained and to respect human rights and the rule of law. The November election results must be respected and Parliament should be convened at the earliest opportunity.
The military’s restrictions on information flows are deeply concerning. Civilians, including civil society and the media, must not be subject to reprisals in any form. We also call for unrestricted humanitarian access to support the most vulnerable.
G7 Foreign Ministers recall their 2019 communique in which we restated our commitment to Myanmar’s democratic transition, peace and accountability for human rights violations and abuses.
We stand with the people of Myanmar who want to see a democratic future.

今天，国务院列出两名参与严重腐败的外国官员。这些列出是根据《 2019年国务院、对外行动及相关计划拨款法案》(Div. F, P.L. 116-6）第7031（c）条款做出的，经修正的《2020年继续拨款法案》（Div. A, P.L. 116-59）沿用该条款。第7031（c）条款规定，在国务卿有外国政府官员已参与严重腐败的可靠信息的案例中，这些官员和他们的近亲属成员没有资格进入美国。
我们欢迎美国财政部外国资产管制办公室（OFAC）对同样的这些腐败分子的制裁行动。这一全政府的方式发出了一个强烈信号，即美国致力于打击系统性腐败并支持柬埔寨和拉脱维亚的法治。一个健康的民主政体依靠其公民的信任。国务院与跨机构伙伴及国际伙伴合作，将继续使用其可自由支配的工具在全球范围内打击腐败。

MEDIA NOTE
OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON
DECEMBER 10, 2019
Today, the Department of State designates two foreign officials due to involvement in significant corruption.  These designations are made under Section 7031(c) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2019 (Div. F, P.L. 116-6), as carried forward by the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2020 (Div. A, P.L. 116-59), as amended.  Section 7031(c) provides that, in cases where the Secretary of State has credible information that officials of foreign governments have been involved in significant corruption, those individuals and their immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the United States.
We welcome the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control’s (OFAC) actions to sanction these same corrupt actors.  This whole-of-government approach sends a strong signal that the United States is committed to fighting systemic corruption and supporting the rule of law in Cambodia and Latvia.  A healthy democracy relies on the trust of its citizens.  The Department, in cooperation with interagency and international partners, will continue to use the tools at its disposal to combat corruption globally.
“获悉中国东方航空MU5735航班于3月21日失事的消息，我深感悲痛。美国驻华使团全体人员向受此坠机事件影响的人们表达最深切的哀悼和慰问。我们已准备好协助调查工作，并向坠机现场的应急救援人员致以敬意。在这一非常困难的时刻，请接受我们诚挚的同情与慰问。”

美国为人权事务和制止系统性种族主义发挥领导作用
美国国务院
发言人办公室
2021年7月13日
本届政府坚定不移地要求解决国内外的种族不公正和不平等问题。在全球舞台上，美国正以身作则发挥领导作用。
上个月，联合国人权事务高级专员（UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights）发布有关非洲人和世界各地非洲后裔在执法环境下遭受种族主义和警察暴力的报告，其中包括对美国这类事件的审查。总统一再明确表示，我国这样的伟大国家从不掩饰自己的缺点；愿公开承认这些问题并努力以透明的方式取得改善。为此，我们不仅努力确立全国抗击这些挑战的标准，同时还增进了我们的民主，为全球各地的人权捍卫者提供新的希望和动力。
美国正是在这个前提下希望向所有从事人权专项报告和咨询工作的联合国专家提出正式、长期有效的邀请。作为第一步，我们已主动提出由联合国当代种族主义形式问题特别报告员和联合国少数群体问题特别报告员进行正式访问。我还欢迎联合国人权理事会（UN Human Rights Council）今天在日内瓦（Geneva）为解决执法环境下对非洲人和非洲后裔的系统性种族主义通过的决议。我期待参与新的机制，努力促进种族公正和平等。
对于审查自身人权记录的问题，负责任的国家绝不能畏缩不前；相反，应该以幡然改进的愿望予以承认。我要求联合国全体会员国与美国一起进行这方面的努力，共同抗击种族主义、种族歧视和排外心理的祸患。因为当我们全体人民——不论种族或族裔身份——都有充分的自由发挥自己全部潜力的时候，我们的集体安全就能得到巩固。

Statement by Secretary Antony J. Blinken:U.S. Leadership on Human Rights and Ending Systemic Racism
July 13, 2021
This Administration is deeply dedicated to addressing racial injustice and inequities at home and abroad. On the global stage, the United States is leading by example.
Last month, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights released a report on racism and police brutality against Africans and people of African descent at the hands of law enforcement around the world, which includes examination of such cases in the United States. As the President has repeatedly made clear, great nations such as ours do not hide from our shortcomings; they acknowledge them openly and strive to improve with transparency. In so doing, we not only work to set the standard for national responses to these challenges, we also strengthen our democracy, and give new hope and motivation to human rights defenders across the globe.
It is in this context that the United States intends to issue a formal, standing invitation to all UN experts who report and advise on thematic human rights issues. As a first step, we have reached out to offer an official visit by the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and the UN Special Rapporteur on minority issues. I also welcome the UN Human Rights Council’s adoption today in Geneva of a resolution to address systemic racism against Africans and people of African descent in the context of law enforcement. I look forward to engaging with the new mechanism to advance racial justice and equity.
Responsible nations must not shrink from scrutiny of their human rights record; rather, they should acknowledge it with the intent to improve. I urge all UN member states to join the United States in this effort, and confront the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia. Because when all people – regardless of their race or ethnicity – are free to live up to their full potential, our collective security is strengthened.

在“美洲大厅”这里，我们的目标是和平。并且和平是我们在委内瑞拉的目标。但是上周六，尼古拉斯·马杜罗命令武装罪犯在委内瑞拉边境袭击他自己的人民，当时他们在寻求获得迫切需要的人道主义援助。他命令该国曾经引以为傲的安全部队来援助和教唆这一罪行。
美国将继续调查、起诉、并制裁掠夺他们自己人民的官员。其他国家也在进行类似的努力。我在政府的这些年见过严重贪腐的例子，但从没见过这种规模。

Here in the Hall of the Americas, our objective is peace. And peace is our objective in Venezuela. But this past Saturday Nicolas Maduro ordered armed criminals to attack his own people at Venezuela’s borders as they sought to receive desperately needed humanitarian aid. And he ordered the country’s once proud security forces to aid and abet this criminality.
The United States will continue to investigate, prosecute, and sanction officials who rob their own people. Other countries are undertaking similar efforts. I have seen examples of gross corruption during my years in government, but never anything of this scale.

国务卿蓬佩奥（Pompeo）与维吾尔族穆斯林的会见受到中国新疆维吾尔自治区人权危机的影响
今天国务卿迈克尔·蓬佩奥（Michael R. Pompeo）会见了曾在中国新疆维吾尔自治区某拘留营经历了骇人听闻的条件和虐待的幸存者，维吾尔族穆斯林米娜•图尔松（Mihrigul Tursun）。国务卿蓬佩奥还会见了维吾尔族穆斯林群体的其他3名成员：古丽恰克热·霍迦（Gulchehra Hoja）、法卡特·乔达特（Ferkat Jawdat）和阿尔法·艾尔肯（Arfat Erkin）。他们都有亲人被中国当局拘押在拘留营中或判处刑罚。这些人的家人都属于自2017年4月以来被中国政府拘押在拘留营的100多万维吾尔族、哈萨克族和其他穆斯林少数民族群体的成员。国务卿赞赏他们有勇气挺身而出揭发中国的虐待行为，并强调美国坚决支持制止中国镇压伊斯兰和其他宗教的运动。
这些幸存者讲述的情况只是少数几个事例，在新疆受中国镇压的幸存者的遭遇还有数百个之多。他们代表了新疆无法发出自己的心声、无法自由行动、无法为自己思考，甚至无法从事自己最基本的宗教活动的一百万或更多人的声音。国务院2018年度人权报告（Human Rights Report）有关中国的部分详述了这些拘留营采取的虐待行为，例如酷刑、专制的监视措施、中国政府官员入户同住和强迫穆斯林家庭接受猪肉和酒、没收古兰经（Qurans）和性虐待和死亡事件等。我们呼吁中国政府立即释放这些人的家人和所有被任意拘押在拘留营的其他人员。

Secretary Pompeo’s Meeting with Uighur Muslims Impacted by Human Rights Crisis in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China
Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo met yesterday with Mihrigul Tursun, a Uighur Muslim who survived horrific conditions and abuse in a Chinese internment camp in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.  Secretary Pompeo also met with three other members of the Uighur Muslim community: Gulchehra Hoja, Ferkat Jawdat, and Arfat Erkin, whose relatives have been detained in the camps or criminally sentenced by Chinese authorities.  These individuals’ family members are among the more than one million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and members of other Muslim minority groups whom the Chinese government has detained in internment camps since April 2017.  The Secretary commended their bravery in speaking out about China’s abuses, and pledged U.S. support to end China’s campaign of repression against Islam and other religions.
These survivors’ stories are just a few of among hundreds of other stories from survivors of China’s repressive campaign in Xinjiang.  They speak for the million or more voices in Xinjiang who are unable to speak for themselves, move freely, think for themselves, and undertake even the most basic practices of their religion.  The Department of State’s 2018 Human Rights Report on China detailed abuses in these camps, such as torture, repressive surveillance measures, homestays and forcible service of pork and alcohol by Chinese government officials in Muslim homes, confiscations of Qurans, and instances of sexual abuse and death.  We call on the Chinese government to release immediately these individuals’ family members and all others arbitrarily detained in the camps.

发言人摩根·奥塔格斯（Morgan Ortagus）发表声明 关于中国升级对越南在南中国海长期从事油气开采活动的胁迫行为
美国高度关注中国继续干涉越南在索求涉及的越南专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone）长期从事的油气开采活动。此事对中国有关和平解决海上纠纷的主张提出了严重质疑，其中包括对东盟-中国《南中国海各方行为准则宣言》（ASEAN-China Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea）的承诺。
中国再次派遣政府拥有的勘测船，在武装护航的情况下于8月13日进入越南万安滩（Vanguard Bank）临近水域。这是北京为恐吓其他索求方停止在南中国海开发资源采取的升级行动。
近几个星期，中国采取一系列挑衅性行动干涉东盟各索求方长期、公认的经济活动，试图迫使各方拒绝与外国油气公司建立伙伴关系，只与中国国营企业合作。在万安滩一例中，中国正对越南与俄罗斯某能源公司及其他国际伙伴的合作施加压力。
中国的行动破坏了地区和平与安全，阻挠东南亚国家开发价值约2.5万亿美元的未开发油气资源，强行使这些国家承担经济代价，同时表明中国无视各国根据1982年《海洋法公约》（Law of the Sea Convention）在本国经济专属区内从事经济活动的权利。中国已于1996年批准该公约。
美国公司在全世界油气资源勘探和开采活动中保持领先地位，包括在外海和南中国海地区。为此，美国强烈反对中国采取任何行为威胁或强迫伙伴国家停止与非中国公司合作或以其他方式骚扰这些国家的合作活动。美国坚定地支持我国印度-太平洋（Indo-Pacific）地区伙伴和盟国的能源安全，要求保障全球市场不间断地获得地区生产的油气产品。

STATEMENT BY MORGAN ORTAGUS, SPOKESPERSONAugust 21, 2019
China Escalates Coercion against Vietnam’s Longstanding Oil and Gas Activity in the South China Sea
The United States is deeply concerned that China is continuing its interference with Vietnam’s longstanding oil and gas activities in Vietnam’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) claim. This calls into serious question China’s commitment, including in the ASEAN-China Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, to the peaceful resolution of maritime disputes.
China’s redeployment of a government-owned survey vessel, together with armed escorts, into waters offshore Vietnam near Vanguard Bank on August 13, is an escalation by Beijing in its efforts to intimidate other claimants out of developing resources in the South China Sea (SCS).
In recent weeks, China has taken a series of aggressive steps to interfere with ASEAN claimants’ longstanding, well-established economic activities, in an attempt both to coerce them to reject partnerships with foreign oil and gas firms, and to work only with China’s state-owned enterprises.  In the case of Vanguard Bank, China is pressuring Vietnam over its work with a Russian energy firm and other international partners.
China’s actions undermine regional peace and security, impose economic costs on Southeast Asian states by blocking their access to an estimated $2.5 trillion in unexploited hydrocarbon resources, and demonstrate China’s disregard for the rights of countries to undertake economic activities in their EEZs, under the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, which China ratified in 1996.
U.S. companies are world leaders in the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbon resources, including offshore and in the South China Sea. The United States therefore strongly opposes any efforts by China to threaten or coerce partner countries into withholding cooperation with non-Chinese firms, or otherwise harassing their cooperative activities.  The United States is committed to bolstering the energy security of our partners and allies in the Indo-Pacific region and in ensuring uninterrupted regional oil and gas production for the global market.
