澎湃新闻记者：据报道，联合国秘书长古特雷斯18日表示，美国和中国的关系从来没有像今天这样失调，并警告称，两国之间不断升级的紧张关系可能会把世界分裂成两个集团，这对世界来说是一个巨大的风险。中方对此有何评论？
The Paper: UN Secretary-General António Guterres said on August 18 that the relationship between the U.S. and China "has never been as dysfunctional as it is today" and warned that escalating tensions between the two countries may divide the world into "two blocks", which is "a huge risk for the world."

赵立坚：中方注意到古特雷斯秘书长有关表态。我们一向认为，中美两国合则两利、斗则俱伤。中美合作可以办成有利于两国和世界的大事，中美对抗不符合国际社会的利益。中美关系的健康稳定发展事关中美两国和世界的当下与未来，符合中美两国人民和世界各国人民的共同愿望。
Zhao Lijian: China noted the remarks by Secretary-General Guterres. It is our consistent belief that China and the US both stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. Our cooperation can benefit the two countries and the whole world, while confrontation between us undermines the interests of the international community. A sound and steady China-US relationship bears on the current and future development of China, the US and the world at large, and meets the shared aspiration of people in China, the US and across the globe.

当前中美关系遭遇严重困难，原因在于一段时间来，美国政府单方面挑起事端，肆意采取一系列干涉中国内政、损害中方利益、严重破坏中美关系的言行。美国一小撮政客出于一己之私利，蓄意煽动反华情绪，挑动对立对抗。美方上述倒行逆施不得人心，已经并将继续遭到中美两国各界有识之士和世界上爱好和平人民的强烈批判和抵制。
The reason why China-US relations have encountered serious difficulties is that the US government unilaterally stirred up troubles and through its words and deeds interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests and damaged China-US bilateral ties. Driven by selfish motives, a small number of US politicians have been instigating anti-China sentiments, antagonism and confrontation. Such retrogressive moves, unpopular as they are, have been and will continue to be strongly criticized and rejected by visionary people in China and the US, as well as peace-loving people all over the world.
