Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Tuesday: "First of all, I want to make it clear that outer space belongs to all mankind. It is not exclusively owned by any one country and especially not the private property of the U.S."
中國外交部發言人華春瑩星期二說:“首先，我要明確指出，外層空間屬於全人類。它不是任何一個國家的專有財產，尤其是美國的私有財產。”
"The DIA report made unwarranted and utterly baseless comments on the space policies of relevant countries including China," she added. "China upholds the peaceful use of outer space and opposes weaponizing outer space or an arms race there. For many years, China, Russia and other countries have been working hard and trying to reach an international legal instrument to fundamentally prevent the weaponization of or an arms race in outer space."
她說:“美國國防情報局的報告對包括中國在內的有關國家的太空政策發表了毫無根據的評論。”中國主張和平利用外空，反對外空武器化和外空軍備競賽。多年來，中國、俄羅斯等國一直在努力，努力達成一項從根本上防止外空武器化或外空軍備競賽的國際法律文書。
Hua also noted recent "negative moves relating to the security of outer space," such as Trump's declaration of space as a "new war-fighting domain," something that inspired him to push forward a plan to develop a sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces known as the Space Force. She said such developments were "more likely to turn into reality the risks of weaponizing outer space and making it a battlefield."
華還指出，最近“有關美國有許多危害外太空安全的動作”，比如特朗普宣佈太空為“新的作戰領域”，他推動了一項計劃，發展美國武裝部隊的第六支部隊，即太空部隊。她說，這樣的發展“更有可能將外空武器化並使其成為戰場的風險變成現實”。
"Despite all these, the U.S. has been playing up the so-called 'outer space security threats' posed by others," she added. "In fact, it is using self-deceiving tricks to justify its own military building in outer space and R&D in advanced weapons. If the U.S. side truly cares about the security of outer space, it should work with China and actively participate in the arms control process of outer space. It should make its due contributions to maintaining outer space security, instead of doing the opposite."
“儘管如此，美國一直在誇大其他國家構成的所謂‘外層空間安全威脅’，”她補充說。事實上，美國正在利用的賊喊做賊伎倆，為自己在外層空間的軍事建設和先進武器的研發開脫。如果美方真正關心外太空安全，應與中方共同努力，積極參與外太空軍控進程。美國應該為維護外太空安全作出應有的貢獻，而不是相反。
With his missile plan, Trump has vowed to "ensure we can detect and destroy any missile launched against the United States anywhere, anytime." China and Russia, however, have warned of an "arms race" potentially set off by the new Pentagon project.
在他的導彈計劃中，特朗普誓言要“確保我們能夠在任何時間、任何地點發現並摧毀任何針對美國的導彈”。然而，中國和俄羅斯警告稱，五角大樓的新項目可能引發一場“軍備競賽”。
