（中文字幕版）蓬佩奧在民主峰會重磅演説 「中共與自由社會的挑戰」觸及中共諸多敏感問題

I want to make a few brief remarks and then I’m looking forward to taking questions.

我想簡單說幾句話，然後回答問題。

First: the idea that Europe is being forced to choose between the United States and China. I want to talk about that at some length.

Second: the belief that it’s costless to compromise your values.

第一，歐洲被迫在美國和中國之間做選擇的這一想法，對此我想詳細談一談。

其次我要談，對自己的價值觀做出妥協要付出的代價。

Everywhere I go – everywhere I go, I talk to my counterparts and audiences like this about the reality of what we see in the world – especially in China. I’ve done it in Europe, done it in the Arctic, done it in Central Asia, done it in Africa – I’ve done it in the Pacific islands.

無論我走到哪裡，我都像這樣，與同行和聽眾談論我們在世界上所看到的現實，尤其是針對中國。 我在歐洲、北極、中亞、在非洲和太平洋諸島，都這樣做了。

or many years, the West, in an era of hope, believed we could change the Chinese Communist Party and improve the lives of the Chinese people along the way. That was the bargain. That was the bet.

多年來，在西方，一個充滿期望的時代，我們以為可以改變中國共產黨，並同時改善中國人民的生活。 那是我們對他們討價還價，也是一場賭博。

The rising tide of democracy in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union 30 years ago made us believe – perhaps reasonably – that the spread of freedom in every nation was inevitable. So we engaged. We opened ourselves to an authoritarian regime that we knew was hostile to democratic values.

在東歐和前蘇聯三十年前不斷上升的民主浪潮，讓我們以為，自由在每個國家傳播是勢不可擋的。所以我們投身其中。我們對中共敞開了大門，雖然我們明知道這個威權政府，對民主價值懷有敵意。
Along the way, the Chinese Communist Party made a bet. It bet that it could take advantage of our goodwill while assuring us they wanted a cooperative relationship. As Deng Xiaoping said, “Hide your strength,” and “bide your time.”

同時，中國共產黨也在賭。它賭它可以利用我們的善意，同時承諾我們他們希望有個合作的關係。正如鄧小平所說的：「隱藏自己的力量，等待時機（『韜光養晦』）」，

I’ve talked about why this has happened. It’s a complicated story. Fault is not material here. It’s not important.

我已經談了為什麼會這樣。這是一個複雜的故事。（追究當時犯的）錯誤在這裡並不重要了。
