王毅国务委员兼外长2020年两会记者会（双语全文）(52)

新加坡《海峡时报》记者：有人认为中国借疫情加大在南海活动，你对此有何评价？是否会影响“南海行为准则”磋商？
The Straits Times: Some say that China is taking advantage of COVID-19 to increase activities in the South China Sea? What"s your view? Will this affect the talks on a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC)?
王毅：认为中国利用疫情在南海扩大存在的说法完全是无稽之谈。最近一段时间，中国正在集中精力同东盟国家开展抗疫合作，双方相互支持，相互帮助，彼此的互信得到进一步增强。一艘艘船只、一架架飞机装载着抗疫物资在南海往来穿梭，南海正在成为中国与东盟国家携手抗疫的互助之海、合作之海。反倒是少数域外国家还在向南海增派军机军舰炫耀武力，频频挑拨中国和东盟国家关系，处心积虑破坏南海得来不易的稳定局面，这样的行为居心不良，令人不齿。
Wang Yi:There is nothing to support the claim that China is using COVID-19 to expand its presence in the South China Sea. On the contrary, China has worked with ASEAN countries in recent months to beat the virus. We have assisted and supported each other, which has helped to strengthen mutual trust. Even as we speak, ships and planes carrying critical supplies are sailing in and flying over the South China Sea, a body of water that"s witnessing mutual assistance and cooperation between China and ASEAN. In sharp contrast to this, a few non-regional countries are flexing their muscles by sending military aircraft and vessels to the South China Sea. Their ill-intentioned and despicable moves are meant to sow discord between China and ASEAN countries and undermine the hard-won stability in the region.
