A: Recently, officials from the U. S. Federal Bureau of Investigation said that China topped the list of countries undertaking cyber-espionage activities against the U.S, causing the U.S. firms great losses. What is China's response to that?

B:中国法律禁止黑客攻击等破坏互联网安全的行为,中国政府坚决打击相关犯罪活动。这是不容置疑的事实。我们再次敦促美方停止捏造事实、蓄意抹黑中国的无理做法,停止美国自身对别国发起的大规模、系统性网络攻击行为,美方想通过贼喊捉贼来转移视线的图谋是不会得逞的。

A: Investigation results released yesterday by the ROK government show that all three drones discovered inside the ROK at the beginning of this year were from the DPRK. Reports say that these drones were made in China and that the ROK has asked the Chinese side for assistance in investigation. Has China received such request and given any response?

B:我看到了有关报道,不了解具体情况。建议你向有关部门了解。

A: The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights finished its deliberation on the Second Periodic Report on the Implementation of the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights submitted by China. What is China's comment on that?

A:近日,美国联邦调查局官员称,中国在对美从事网络谍报适动的国家中位居首位,使美国企业蒙受了大量损失。请问中方对此有何评论?

B: The Chinese law prohibits hacker attack and other behaviors that undermine cyber security. The Chinese government firmly cracks down on relevant criminal activities. Such facts are undeniable. We once again urge the U. S. to stop the senseless actions of fabricating facts and intentionally smearing Chinas image and halt the large-scale, systemic cyber-attack activities it launched against other countries. The U.S. wants to play the trick of a thief crying "Stop thief" so as to divert public attention. Such an attempt will come to no avail.

A:据报道,韩国政府昨天公布调查结果,确认年初在韩境内发现的三架无人机均来自朝鲜。有报道称,这些无人机是中国制造的,韩方提出希望中方协助调查。中方是否收到了韩方请求并做出回应?

B: I have seen relevant reports. I am not aware of the specifics. You may raise your question with authorities concerned.

A:联合国经济、社会及文化权利委员会完成对中国执行《经济、社会及文化权利国际公约》第二次履约报告的审议。中方对此有何评论?

B: Deliberation by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on the Second Periodic Report on the Implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights submitted by China has been completed successfully.

The Chinese delegation interacted with the committee in an open and practical manner and gave serious responses to each and ever comment and question from experts of the committee. The Chinese side welcomes the objective and positive comments made by the committee, and will take seriously their constructive opinions and recommendations and consider translating those beneficial ones into policies and measures suited to China’s national conditions.

英译汉

Thank you all for coming, and let me begin by thanking the Chinese people for the warm welcome they have given me.

As many of you know, at the World Bank Group we are passionate about ending poverty and building shared prosperity--so it's good to be back in China, where we share a strong commitment to these goals.

For the World Bank Group, this trip marked a deepening of our relationship with the government of China on issues that ranged from urbanization to climate change to investment in Africa. I had very productive meetings with Premier Li Keqiang, Finance Minister Lou Jiwe and several other senior officials in the government.

The Chinese government has shown an important commitment to reforms to make growth sustainable and improve the quality of life for its people.

We support China's efforts to rebalance growth toward consumption and services - and move toward reforms of its fiscal policy, financial oversight, land rights, and social programs to achieve quality growth that reaches more people.

My focus on this trip has been on two key areas that pose both opportunities and challenges for China--the environment and urbanization.

China is well aware that its rapid urbanization and rapid economic growth has come at a cost, even as that growth has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.

So I am pleased we are expanding our collaboration on climate change in a number of

areas, including: finding better solutions for clean cities, as we are doing in Shanghai;

improving the efficiency of wind farms, helping farmers in southwestern China with climate-smart agriculture; and developing and promoting carbon markets to encourage emissions reductions.

At the moment, half of the Bank's 125 active projects in China help combat climate change, with lending at $5. 3 billion. Every dollar loaned leverages almost $7--totaling

$36 billion from governments, private sector and other sources to deal with climate change.

In China, IFC, our private sector arm, committed a record $347 million to climate-related projects last year alone. That was one-third of IFC's overall $1 billion of commitment in China. China's cities have been growing at breakneck speed. By 2030, some 65 to 70 percent of China's population will be in cities. That's one billion people who will need good jobs, and expect better services.

China now needs to find new ways to make cities more energy efficient, promote clean energy, and reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. If China breathes easier, the world will breathe easier, too.

As part of the ongoing work on a joint study on urbanization with China's Development

Research Center of the State Council, we have been re-thinking the concept of cities. We should not think of cities as just urban sprawls, but instead should make them work for people. Efficient cities will boost growth. Some of our priorities are building dense cities that keep people living close to where they work, with better transport systems. Another important issue is protecting farmers' rights to land, and sharing the benefits of land development in a more equitable way.

We also will work with local governments to help them manage their resources better.

Governments will need to broaden their sources of revenue so that they are not too dependent on land sales.

As we said in an earlier report produced with the DRC China 2030 we support phased

reform of the household registration system, or hukou, giving migrants affordable access to urban services. This will help raise incomes of the poor and boost consumption, which is good for the economy. Over the long term. the health and vitality of China's rapidly growing urban areas will be critical to economic growth and promote less resource-intensive growth. That's good for China and the world.

Thank you. I'm happy to take your questions

谢谢各位光临。我首先感谢中国人民给予我的热情接待。

正如在座的很多人都了解,世界银行集团对于终结贫困和建立共享繁荣充满热情, 所以回到中国真好,因为我们对于这两大目标具有共同的坚定承诺。

对于世界银行集团,此次访间标志着我们与中国政府在从城镇化到气候变化到投资非洲等一系列问题上加深了关系。我与李克强总理、财政部楼继伟部长以及其他几位政府高层官员的会见很有成效。

中国政府对于实行改革以实现可持续增长和提高人民生活质量作出重要的承诺。

我们支持中国为实现以消费和服务驱动增长所做的努力,并为协助推动财政体制、金融监管、土地权益和社会项目以实现优质增长惠及更多民众。我此次访问的重点集中在两个关键领域,这两个领域对中国既是机会又是挑战,这就是环境与城镇化

中国充分认识到其快速城镇化和高速经济增长使几亿人脱贫,同时也付出了代价。

所以我很高兴我们不断扩大与中国在一些气候变化领域开展合作,包括:寻找建设清洁城市的更好的方案,正如我们在上海开展的项目提升风电场的效率;帮助中国西南地区的农民发限气候智能型农业；来发和推广碳交易市场促进减排。

目前世行在中国的125个在建项且中有一半是帮助气候变化的，贷款额达到53亿美元。每1美元贷激带动了将近7美元的资金，政府、私营部门以及其他来源的投入总计360亿美元资金用于应对气候变化。

在中国,我们的私营部门机构国际金融公司去年一年为气候变化相关项目承诺资金3.47亿美元,相当于国际金融公司在华项目总承诺额10亿美元的三分之一。中国城市的发展速度惊人。到2030年,大约65%到70%的人口将在城市里,就是说将会有10亿人需要好的工作,期望获得更好的服务。

中国现在需要一种新型的模式,来提高城市的能效,推广清洁能源,减少交通拥堵和空气污染。中国呼吸顺畅了,世界也就呼吸顺畅了。

在我们与中国国务院发展研究中心正在开展的城镇化研究中,我们重新思考城市的概念。城市不应被定义为都市蔓延,而是要让城市服务人民。高效的城市促进增长。我们的一项优先重点是建设密集型城市,让市民的居住地距离工作单位不远,提供更好的交通系统。另一个重要问题是保护农民的农村土地权益,以更公平的方式分享士地开发的收益。

我们也在与地方政府合作帮助他们更好地管理资源。政府需要扩大财政收人来源，使他们不要过于依靠出售土地。

正如我们在早些时候与发展研究中心合作的一份报告《2030年的中国》所指出,们支持分阶段地推进户口制度改革,给流动人口提供负担得起的城市服务。这样可以有助于提高贫困人口的收入,促进消费,从而有益于经济。从长期来看,中国快速发展的城镇地区的健康与活力对于经济增长至关重要,有助于促进资源密集度低的增长。这对于中国乃至全世界都有益。

谢谢各位。我很高兴接受各位提问。
