At the China-US high-level strategic dialogue held on March 18, local time, the US took the lead in provoking the dispute, and the atmosphere was "tense".The conversation, which caught the attention of the world, continues to be popular on media and social platforms around the world.
Among them, a small detail related to the female translator Zhang Jing has become popular again.The interaction between Yang Jiechi and Blinken and the Chinese interpreter relieved the tense atmosphere and showed the professionalism of our diplomats.
In the opening statements of the first dialogue, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Sullivan ran over the time of their opening remarks and provoked disputes by making unreasonable attacks on China's domestic and foreign policies.Yang Jiechi, a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for Foreign Affairs, then responded, pointing out problems in all aspects of the US.
After Yang Jiechi's remarks, I would like to have State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi continue to say a few words.At this point, our translator Zhang Jing said: "I first...First translate."
Yang Jiechi smiled: "Do you still need translation?Over you.It's a test for our interpreter! (This is a test for translation!)"
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also chimed in: "We should pay more for translators."
Yang replied, "Yeah."
This paragraph can only show the professionalism of the Chinese diplomats.
