2020年CRI 外交部回应美对台军售 中方坚决反对（在线收听）

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson says China firmly opposes the United States' arms sales to Taiwan and urges the U.S. side to revoke its plan.

Wang Wenbin made the remarks when answering a question on the US' approval of a plan to sell Harpoon missile systems worth about 2.4 billion U.S. dollars to Taiwan.

He says the U.S. arms sales violate the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, and interfere in China's internal affairs and undermine China's sovereignty and security interests.

"China urges the U.S. side to abide by the one-China principle and provisions of the three China-U.S. Joint Communiqués, and cease arms sales to Taiwan and any military contact with the island. We urge the U.S. side to withdraw relevant arms sales plans to avoid further damage the China-U.S. ties and the peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits."

The spokesperson says the move has sent a wrong signal to secessionist forces in the region.

The World Bank's country director for China says the country's strong economic growth has played the largest role in poverty alleviation since 1980s.

Martin Raiser says economic growth has been a major factor responsible for lifting people out of poverty until the early 2010s, when targeted social policies began to contribute more.

"In the first three decades, by far the largest contribution to poverty reduction came from economic growth, not from any particularly targeted social policies. It's only in the last decade and particularly after 2013 that we find that policy really tries to go to the last mile."

Raiser adds that the world can learn many lessons from China's poverty alleviation efforts.

He says one of them is the creation of a database of poverty-stricken villages, which he says helps create targeted relief policies directed to assist those particular places.

China aims to eliminate absolute poverty by the end of this year.

A vice agricultural minister says China has beefed up efforts in the past five years to ensure food security and meet the needs for safe and diversified supply.

Liu Huanxin says the supply of major agricultural products has been increasing thanks to the supply-side structural reform in the agricultural sector.

"The grain production has taken a new step higher to stabilize at above 650 billion kilograms every year, with the per capita grain possession at more than 470 kg, far above the internationally recognized grain safety line of 400 kg."

He says that the government has also been adjusting and optimizing agricultural structure to better meet market demand, and that the supply of green and high-quality products has been increasing.

Xinjiang has completed COVID-19 testing for more than 4.7 million people in Kashgar prefecture following the recent new local cases in the region.

中国外交部发言人表示，中方坚决反对美国向中国台湾出售武器，并敦促美方撤销军售计划。

在回答美方批准向中国台湾出售价值约24亿美元“鱼叉”导弹系统的问题时，汪文斌发表了上述言论。

他表示，美国出售武器违反了一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报的规定，干涉中国内政，损害中国主权和安全利益。

“中方敦促美方恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，停止售台武器和美台军事联系。我们敦促美方撤销有关对台军售计划，以免对中美关系和台海和平稳定造成进一步损害。”

汪文斌表示，此举向该地区的分裂势力发出了错误信号。

世界银行中国局局长表示，自上世纪80年代以来，中国强劲的经济增长在扶贫方面发挥了最大的作用。

马丁·芮泽表示，经济增长一直是帮助人们脱贫的主要因素，直到2010年代初，有针对性的社会政策才开始发挥更大作用。

“在头30年里，迄今为止对减贫的最大贡献来自经济增长，而不是任何有针对性的社会政策。直到过去10年，尤其是2013年之后，我们才发现政策真的起到了重要作用。”

芮泽补充称，世界各国可以从中国的扶贫工作中学到很多经验。

他表示，其中一项政策是创建一个贫困村庄的数据库，他称这有助于制定有针对性的救济政策，为特定地区提供帮助。

中国的目标是在今年年底前消除绝对贫困。

一位农业部副部长表示，中国在过去五年中加强了努力，以确保食品安全，满足安全和多样化的供应需求。

刘焕鑫表示，由于农业部门的供给侧结构性改革，主要农产品的供应一直在增加。

“粮食生产再上新台阶，稳定在6500亿公斤以上，人均粮食占有量稳定在470公斤以上，远高于国际公认的400公斤粮食安全线。”

他表示，政府也在调整和优化农业结构，以更好地满足市场需求，绿色和高质量产品的供应一直在增加。
