"Since last year, Japan has created a farce of "buying islands" on the Diaoyu Islands issue, and Sino-Japanese relations have continued to face serious difficulties. In recent times, Japan has deliberately incited the so-called "China. Threat" in the field of military security to harm China's security interests. Under this circumstance, Japan is still preparing to rebuild the Yasukuni Shrine, creating serious troubles on historical issues, causing new major political obstacles to the improvement and development of bilateral relations. Japan must bear all the consequences caused."

"I would like to reiterate that only by truly facing and deeply reflecting on the history of aggression and truly "learning from history", can Japan develop a "future-oriented" relationship with its Asian neighbors. We solemnly urge Japan to keep its promise to reflect on the history of aggression, take measures to correct mistakes, eliminate bad influences, and win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community through practical actions."

"Finally, regarding the issue of rebuilding the Yasukuni Shrine, China believes that these things that are exhausting the people and the money affect the feelings of the Chinese people and the Asian people, it is better to do less."

A reporter asked: "It is reported that China has sent 700 additional peacekeeping officers and soldiers to South Sudan to protect China's oil fields and related personnel in South Sudan. Can it be confirmed?"

Cheng Gang replied: "As a permanent member of the Security Council, China has always actively participated in UN peacekeeping operations. The purpose of China participating in any peacekeeping operation is to strictly implement the Security Council's mandate, peacefully resolve conflicts, promote development and reconstruction, and maintain regional peace and security. Recently, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2155 on the South Sudan issue, and decided to expand the scale of UN peacekeeping operations in UN Mission in South Sudan. China is willing to continue to strengthen its support for various peacekeeping operations, including UN Mission in South Sudan, and is currently maintaining close communication with the United Nations Secretariat. If there is any further situation, China will release it in a timely manner."

The reporter asked: "Are these 700 people the largest peacekeeping force sent by China so far? What kind of troops do they belong to?"

"I just said that as a permanent member of the Security Council, China has always been actively committed to participating in UN peacekeeping operations. Currently, we are the country with the largest number of peacekeeping personnel among the five permanent members of the Security Council. We have participated in 16 UN peacekeeping operations in Africa, and currently have more than 1,800 peacekeeping personnel in Africa. We are willing to continue to strengthen our support for UN peacekeeping operations in UN Mission in South Sudan. We are maintaining close communication with the UN Secretariat. If there is any further information, we will release it in a timely manner."

After hearing these two questions, Mu Yang felt that this was completely wrong, and it fully confirmed the words of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "It doesn't matter what the reporter asked, mainly what I want to say."

Some people think that when answering reporters' questions, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sometimes doesn't respond very closely to the question, and it makes people confused. And the spokesperson always says something meaningless, such as "we have noticed... statements", "we have noticed... reports", "we will continue to pay attention...", and it seems that they are always talking nonsense.

Indeed, the statements of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sometimes answer questions and clichés, which require further transparency and increase the amount of information. But on the other hand, everyone should also understand that diplomatic language is different from normal language to a certain extent. Diplomacy is often more tactful, implicit, and vague. The so-called tactful means that some problems are inconvenient or cannot be spoken directly, so they are expressed in tactful and implicit language to let the other party understand without losing their original intention.

Therefore, diplomatic language is sometimes not a straightforward question and answer, and it will turn around or hit the east and west. You need to pay attention to the lines or pay attention to the sounds outside the strings.

Why is diplomatic language different from normal language? This is determined by the particularity of diplomacy and the complexity of diplomatic struggles.

The main object of diplomacy is the state. Sovereignty and equality between countries should be respected by each other. We should also pay more attention to language, and we should often focus on elegance and keep it to the point, so that we will not embarrass the other party too much.

In diplomatic struggles, various situations and possibilities may exist. Generally, we avoid talking about things that are too far away and leaving a certain amount of room to avoid being passive. Weak or underdeveloped countries, due to their strength and status, they often pay more attention to strategy and their language will be more subtle and tactful.

Bilateral diplomatic activities or multilateral negotiations agreements or agreements are often the result of agreements or negotiations between the two parties or multiple parties, and are often expressed in language and text that are acceptable to each other, and sometimes they are inevitably vague.

After attending a regular press conference on news, Mu Yang said that he had gained a lot, and it was not enough to just read books, and he still had to combine theory with practice.

When Mu Yang returned to the publishing office, his colleagues were still preparing information. Every day, each of them needed to organize information from various ministries, embassies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and news media. Each person had as many as thousands of pieces of information to judge the possible problems and whether they might be asked by reporters. Then, based on the recent domestic public opinion orientation and the latest national policies, as well as their attitude towards these countries, they would write a response to this matter that was in line with diplomatic language.

Everyone has a lot of work in their hands. Mu Yang cannot complete this work independently yet. Fortunately, there is a lot of information about this in the information room, many of which were completed by colleagues before and then used. This is also the focus of Mu Yang's learning.

There are many aspects that need to be studied and judged when answering a question, such as the relationship between China and that country, the recent international situation, the diplomatic process between the two countries, whether new problems arise, whether it is in line with China's interests, etc., all aspects must be considered.

Mu Yang continued to read books and materials in the information room. These days, his study has been his focus, but his colleagues are working overtime, so he is not good to go back by himself.

At 6 pm, the phone rang. Mu Yang picked it up and saw that it was Xu Youshan who called it. He quickly answered: "Shanshan, you're done."

"Yes, I'm off work, what about you? How do you feel when you go to work on the first day today?" Xu Youshan asked.

"It's okay, I'm mainly looking at the information. I can't get started with the specific work now. It's like a mountain across the road." Mu Yang sighed.

"Haha, you are also called intermittent business, they are all work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Xu Youshan said.

"If you continue to do it in depth, the nature of the work of each department will be quite different, and the focus will be different. If you want to do it well, you naturally need to learn to re-learn charging." Mu Yang said.

"Then when will you get off work?" Xu Youshan asked.

"My colleagues are working overtime, so it's hard for me to go back now. Let's share the joys and sorrows with everyone here." Mu Yang said.

"Haha, then, I'll go home and see my daughter first, and wait for when you come back before having dinner."
