彭博社记者/澳门月刊记者：美国防长奥斯汀本周访问亚洲期间称，美将挑战中国的“侵略”行为，当利益受威胁时美不会退缩，但并不寻求对抗。外交部对此有何评论？
Bloomberg/Macau Monthly: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has vowed during a trip to Asia this week to challenge what he called China"s aggression. He said, "we will not flinch when our interests are threatened, yet we do not seek confrontation." Does the foreign ministry have a comment on this?
赵立坚：美方有关说法无视事实，蓄意抹黑中方，干涉中国内政，挑拨地区国家关系，其目的就是为了服务一己地缘政治私利。我们奉劝美方不要动辄拿中国说事，多做有利于本地区和平稳定的事。
Zhao Lijian: The remarks from the US side, in disregard of facts, deliberately smear China, meddle in China"s domestic affairs and attempt to sow discord between regional countries. The aim is to serve selfish geopolitical gains. We urge the US not to make an issue out of China at every turn and instead do more things conducive to regional peace and stability.
