问：据报道，中国在港口清关时对从美国进口的汽车、木材、水果等产品采取额外检查措施，增加了清关时间。这是否属实？是否是针对美拟征收关税的反制措施？
Q: There were reports that US cars, logs, fruits and other products are being held up during customs clearance for added inspections. Is this true? And if so, is this retaliation for US trade tariffs.
答：我不了解你说的情况，你可以向主管部门询问。
A: I am not aware of the situation mentioned by you, and I would like to refer you to competent authorities.
作为原则，我想指出，中方一贯奉行依法依规、科学公正的原则，对进口商品进行检验和检疫工作。
In principle, I want to point out that China always adopts the scientific and unbiased method to conduct inspection and quarantine of imports in accordance with laws and regulations.
问：据报道，9日，中日两国政府就中国向日本提供一对朱鹮达成协议，并签署备忘录。这是中方时隔11年再次向日本提供朱鹮。中方对此有何评论？
Q: According to reports, on May 9, the Chinese and Japanese governments reached an agreement on China providing a pair of crested ibises to Japan, and the two sides signed a memorandum. It has been 11 years since China offered crested ibises to Japan last time. What is your comment?
答：朱鹮素有鸟中“东方宝石”之称，深受中日两国人民喜爱，已经成为两国人民友谊的象征。
A: Known as “the Diamond of the Orient” of its kind, crested ibises are deeply adored by both the Chinese and Japanese people and they have become a symbol of our friendship.
中日两国从上世纪80年代起共同保护朱鹮，中方先后向日方提供5只朱鹮个体，帮助日方重新建立朱鹮种群，日方通过官方和民间保护项目支持中国朱鹮栖息地保护工作。
China and Japan have joined hands to protect crested ibises since the 1980s. China has since then provided 5 crested ibises to Japan and helped it to restore its crested ibis colonies. Japan has supported China's efforts to preserve the crested ibis habitats through official and private programs.
经过长期努力，中国朱鹮种群数量已由1981年的7只发展到3000多只，并通过放归自然等措施在陕西、浙江、河南等地重建了野外种群。日本朱鹮种群已达500只左右，也通过人工繁育个体放归自然重建了野外种群。中日朱鹮保护合作共赢已经成为世界野生动物保护史上的成功范例。
Thanks to long-term endeavors, the number of crested ibises in China has grown from 7 in 1981 to over 3000, and the wild crested ibis colonies have been recovered in Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Henan and other provinces through reintroduction and other measures. In Japan, the number of crested ibises has reached around 500 and the wild crested ibis colonies have also been restored through the reintroduction of artificially reared individuals. The China-Japan win-win cooperation for the preservation of crested ibis has become a successful exemplar in the history of world wildlife protection.
此次，中方再次向日方提供两只朱鹮用于两国开展合作繁育研究，这不仅有利于继续提高日方朱鹮种群的遗传多样性，也将进一步增进两国人民的友好感情
Now, China’s offering of two crested ibises for joint breeding study will not only help to increase the genetic diversity of Japanese crested ibis colonies but also further enhance the friendship between the two peoples.
问：5月8日，亚美尼亚议会选举帕什尼扬为总理。中方对此有何评论？

A: Armenia is a friendly cooperative partner of China. We respect the choice made by the Armenian people and stand ready to move forward our bilateral relations and advance cooperation across the board.

在《宣言》中，中日韩领导人共同发出了维护多边贸易体系、反对保护主义、推动贸易投资自由化便利化的有力信号。三国一致同意加快中日韩自贸协定和《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》的谈判。三国还同意建立“中日韩+X”合作机制，发挥三国各自互补优势，联合拓展第四方市场，提高三国国际竞争力，带动和促进本地区国家实现更好更快发展。
In the Joint Declaration, the leaders of China, Japan and the ROK sent out a forceful message to uphold the multilateral trading system, oppose protectionism and promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. The three countries agreed to accelerate the negotiations on the China-Japan-ROK Free Trade Area agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. They also agreed to set up a “China-Japan-ROK plus X” cooperation mechanism to leverage their complementary strengths, explore the fourth-party markets, improve their international competitiveness, and spearhead and promote better and faster development of countries in this region.
三国领导人时隔两年半再次聚首，重拾中日韩合作势头，对于深化和拓展三国合作，促进地区和平繁荣，推动构建开放型世界经济具有重要意义。
It has been two and a half years since the leaders of the three countries met last time. This meeting has rebuilt the momentum of China-Japan-ROK cooperation. It is of vital significance to deepening and expanding the trilateral cooperation, promoting regional peace and prosperity, and advancing the building of an open world economy.
此次领导人会议后，中方已接任中日韩合作主席国。明年将迎来中日韩合作20周年。中方期待同日、韩一道，落实好此次领导人会议达成的各项共识和成果，增进互信、密切合作，将三国合作打造成为东亚合作之舰、地区稳定之锚、全球发展之源，为促进地区和世界的和平、稳定与繁荣做出新的贡献。
China has taken over the chairmanship of China-Japan-ROK cooperation after this leaders’ meeting. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the China-Japan-ROK cooperation. China looks forward to working with Japan and the ROK to follow through on the consensus and outcomes of this leaders’ meeting and enhance mutual trust for closer cooperation. We will build the cooperation between the three countries into a flagship of East Asian cooperation, an anchor of regional stability and a driving force for global development, thus making new contributions to world peace, stability and prosperity.

问：今天下午，中央电视台刚播出一条新闻，中国海警在上海附近的公海抓获几艘走私船只，一艘船在向另一艘船输油，有人猜测这是否与朝鲜有关。自从有关国家开始对走私活动进行监管以来，中方是否也加强了对走私活动的监管？
