答：美国“国会—行政部门中国委员会”的所谓报告对中国内政指手画脚，进行无端指责。你刚才提到“令人不安的恶化”，我想说的是，美国的一些人对中国的偏见和无知才令人不安。希望他们能够以理性、客观、全面、公正的眼光来看待中国各项事业的发展，停止对中国的内政说三道四、进行无端指责。同时，我们愿意在平等和相互尊重的基础上与美方保持沟通交流，帮助他们更好地了解中国，促进中美关系发展。
A: The so-called report by the US Congressional-Executive Commission on China makes groundless accusation against China’s domestic affairs. You just said “unsettling deterioration”. What is really unsettling is the prejudice and ignorance held by some people in the US against China. It is hoped that they could make sensible, objective, comprehensive and just assessment about China’s development, and stop making unfounded accusation against China’s domestic affairs. We would like to have equal-footed communication and exchanges with the US based on mutual respect, help them develop a better understanding of China and promote China-US relations.
