China looks set to remain a central feature of the United States' foreign po
licy under Joe Biden, with newly appointed US Secretary of State Antony Blin
ken saying on Wednesday that Washington's relationship with Beijing is "argu
ably the most important ... that we have in the world".
中国似乎仍将是拜登（Joe Biden）领导下美国外交政策的核心，新任命的美国国务卿布
林肯（Antony Blinken）周三表示，华盛顿与北京的关系“可以说是我们在这个世界上
所拥有的最重要的（关系）”。
Speaking at his first press conference since being confirmed in his new posi
tion by the Senate on Tuesday, Blinken highlighted areas, like climate chang
e, in which it was important for the two nations to "try to work together" b
ut did not gloss over the conflict that existed between them.
布林肯周二在参议院确认其新职位后举行的第一次记者招待会上强调了气候变化等领域
的问题，在这些领域中，两国“努力合作”很重要，但没有掩盖两国之间存在的冲突。
"Increasingly, (the US-China) relationship has some adversarial aspects to i
t," he said. "It also still has cooperative ones, and the cooperative ones a
re in areas where it's in our mutual interest to try to work together, inclu
ding manifestly on climate, where it's in the interest of China and the inte
rest of the United States and countries around the world to make concrete pr
ogress in combating global warming."
他说：“美中关系越来越具有对抗性。”他说“但是我们仍有可以合作的领域，合作的
领域是符合我们共同利益的领域，包括明显的气候问题，在应对全球变暖方面取得具体
进展符合中国的利益，也符合美国和世界各国的利益。”
Despite Blinken putting China at the top of his list of key relationships, h
e has yet to speak to his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.
尽管布林肯把中国放在他重要关系清单的首位，但他还没有与中国外长王毅交谈。
Within hours of his confirmation, Blinken called Japan's Foreign Minister To
shimitsu Motegi and South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha, in which
he stressed that cooperation between Washington, Seoul and Tokyo was essenti
al to maintain "a free and open Indo-Pacific region".
布林肯在确认消息后数小时内致电日本外务大臣茂木敏充和韩国外交部长康京和，强调
华盛顿、首尔和东京之间的合作对于维持“自由开放的印太地区”至关重要。
Blinken's two other calls immediately after his confirmation were to Mexican
Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau
. He called his counterparts in Britain, France and Germany on Wednesday.
布林肯在确认上任后立即给墨西哥外长埃布拉德和加拿大外长加诺打了另外两个电话。
他周三致电英国、法国和德国的同行。

The quick outreach to the four countries underscores the pledges President J
oe Biden has made during his election campaign and since he won the contest
in November to "build coalitions of like-minded partners and allies".
与这四个国家的快速联络，突显了拜登总统在竞选期间以及自去年11月赢得大选以来所
作的承诺，即“建立志同道合的伙伴和盟友联盟”。
"It makes sense diplomatically that Blinken's first calls in Asia would be t
o Japan and South Korea, by way of reassuring those allies, but also by way
of generating buy-in from these countries whose support in the region is cru
cial for dealing with China," said Sarah Kreps, a government and law profess
or at Cornell University.
康奈尔大学（Cornell University）政府与法律教授莎拉?克雷普斯（Sarah Kreps）表
示：“布林肯在亚洲的第一个电话是打给日本和韩国，这在外交上是有道理的，这是为
了安抚这些盟国，同时也是为了获得这些国家的支持，获得这些国家在该地区的支持对
与中国打交道至关重要。”。
"Blinken's tone is consistent with the new tenor that the Biden administrati
on is trying to herald both abroad and at home," she said. "Abroad, it means
trying to mend some of the alliances bruised after several years of an admi
nistration that was quick to rattle sabres and question alliances.
她说：“布林肯的语气与拜登政府试图在国内外宣扬的新基调是一致的。”这意味着，
在（川普）政府几年来质疑和敲诈盟友之后，要努力修补一些与盟友受损的关系。
"It may be necessary to talk a harder line if the emphasis on diplomatic ove
rtures doesn't succeed, but the more constructive tone we're seeing now is a
solid foundation for some of the tougher negotiations, such as on climate,
that are to come."
“如果外交努力不成功，就有必要采取更强硬的立场，但我们现在看到的更具建设性的
基调是未来一些更艰难谈判的坚实基础，比如气候谈判。”
Other incoming Biden administration officials signalled a hard line against
Beijing earlier on Wednesday.
其他即将上任的拜登政府官员周三早些时候表示将对北京采取强硬态度。
Special presidential climate envoy John Kerry, for example, vowed that Washi
ngton would not compromise on outstanding issues with the Chinese government
, such as human rights and intellectual property protection, in exchange for
cooperation on efforts to arrest global warming.
例如，美国总统气候特使克里（John Kerry）誓言，华盛顿不会在人权和知识产权保护
等悬而未决的问题上与中国政府妥协，以换取在遏制全球变暖方面的合作。
"We have serious differences with China on some very, very important issues,
" Kerry told reporters in Washington. "The issues of theft of intellectual p
roperty and access to markets, the South China Sea. Run the list; we all kno
w them. Those issues will never be traded for anything that has to do with c
limate."
克里在华盛顿对记者说：“我们与中国在一些非常重要的问题上存在严重分歧。”窃取
知识产权和市场准入的问题，南中国海。看一下列表，这些问题我们都心知肚明。这些
问题永远不会被用来交换与气候有关的任何东西。”

However, leaders and lawmakers in both political parties in the US are mostl
y aligned on taking the Chinese government to task for its internment of Uyg
urs and other Muslim minorities in facilities described by Beijing's critics
as "concentration camps" and by Chinese officials as "re-education camps".

sure that there is no forced labour involved in the manufacture of products
they buy from the country.
就在布林肯周三发表讲话时，鲁比奥和参议院外交关系委员会的民主党议员杰夫·默克
利（Jeff Merkley）重新提出了他们的《维吾尔族防止强迫劳动法》，该法要求美国的

"Telecommunications equipment made by untrusted vendors, including Huawei, i
s a threat to the security of the US and our allies," Psaki told White House

their telecommunications networks."
