1.CHINA OPPOSES TSAI ING-WEN'S “TRANSIT” AND MEETING WITH US HOUSE SPEAKER

中方坚决反对蔡英文“过境”窜美并会见美国众议长

China urged the United States to abide【遵守】 by the one-China principle and immediately cease【停止】 all forms of official interaction with Taiwan. A Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson today delivered the remarks regarding Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen's "transit" trip through the United States. Zhang Hong tells us more.

中方敦促美方遵守一个中国原则，立即停止任何形式的美台官方往来。4月6日，外交部发言人就台湾领导人蔡英文“过境”窜美作出答复。记者张泓带来详细报道。

The Foreign Ministry said in the three China-US joint communiques, the United States has made unequivocal【明确的】commitments on keeping non-official relations with Taiwan. However, over a long period of time, the United States has obstinately maintained the strategy of "using Taiwan to contain China" and breached its commitments. The ministry added it has relentlessly challenged the bottom line and made provocations in matters such as official interaction with Taiwan, arms sales to and military collusion with Taiwan, as well as helping Taiwan expand its so-called "international space," and has continuously obscured and hollowed out the one-China principle.

外交部表示，美方在中美三个联合公报中明确承诺仅与台保持非官方关系。但长期以来，美方顽固奉行“以台制华”战略，违背所作承诺，在同台官方往来、对台军售和军事勾连、助台拓展“国际空间”等方面持续越线挑衅，不断虚化掏空一个中国原则。

毛宁中国外交部发言人

“美台相互勾连，以‘过境’为幌子，纵容‘台独’分裂分子在美从事政治活动、开展美台官方往来、提升美台实质关系。此举严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，严重损害中方主权和领土完整，向‘台独’分裂势力发出严重错误信号。中方对此坚决反对，强烈谴责。”

“The United States colluded with Taiwan authorities and connived at attempts by separatists seeking Taiwan independence to carry out political activities on US soil, engage in official interaction between the United States and Taiwan, and elevate the substantive relations between the United States and Taiwan. Such acts have gravely violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques. This seriously infringes upon China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and sends the wrong signals to separatist forces for Taiwan independence. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns such acts.”

The Chinese Embassy in the United States also made remarks, saying that the US Congress, as a part of the US government, is obligated to strictly abide by the foreign policy that the latter has adopted. No individual should underestimate Chinese people's determination, will and capability to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

中国驻美国大使馆发言人也发表了谈话，表示美国国会作为美国政府的一部分，理应严格遵守美国政府承认和承诺的外交政策。图谋“以台制华”者必将引火烧身。任何人都不要低估中国政府和中国人民捍卫国家主权和领土完整的坚强决心、坚定意志、强大能力。

“我们经过164天的考察，能够安全靠港，心情特别激动。”

“Our expedition lasted 164 days. I feel very excited as the icebreaker arrived safely.”

It was the third time both Xuelong and Xuelong 2 were involved in the same polar expedition. On this one, they departed at the end of October 2022, and sailed more than 60,000 nautical miles. During more than 5 months of work, researchers measured atmospheric conditions, checked water samples, as well as studied sediment samples and the South Pole's ecosystem.

这是“雪龙”号和“雪龙2”号第三次实施“双龙探极”。此次考察队于2022年10月底出发，航行了6万多海里。在5个多月的工作中，研究人员完成了测量大气条件、检查水样、研究沉积物样本和南极的生态系统等工作。

“100多天，我们经过了三个海区的作业。先到中山站给“雪龙号”破冰引航，再到长城站进行人员轮换及物资补给，再到（南极）宇航员海海域远海搞大洋调查。”

“We covered three areas. First, we went to Zhongshan Station to pilot for Xuelong; then it was on to Changcheng Station for personnel rotation【换班】 and supplies; and finally, we arrived at Astronaut Sea to observe various conditions and conduct experiments.”

Shanghai Customs and other frontier inspection departments worked together to ensure the crew could disembark quickly.
