China's defense ministry has rejected as "malicious speculation" allegations by a U.S.-based group that Chinese peacekeepers had abandoned their posts in South Sudan in July instead of protecting civilians.
对于美国非政府组织指责中国驻南苏丹维和部队在7月份的维和行动中不作为及未能保护难民安全，中国国防部已经指责其为恶意炒作。Chinese troops are part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in South Sudan, which has been ravaged by conflict between rival forces loyal to the President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar.
中国部队是联合国南苏丹维和行动的一部分，今年在忠于南苏丹总统基尔领导的政府军与反对派领导马沙尔的部队发生大规模冲突中遭遇严重袭击。The Center For Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) said in a report published last week said the Chinese peacekeepers abandoned their posts in the South Sudanese capital of Juba on July 11, a day after a rocket-propelled grenade had exploded near a Chinese armored personnel carrier, killing two Chinese soldiers.
非政府组织“冲突中的平民”上周发表的报告称，7月11日，中国维和部队放弃了其在南苏丹首都朱巴的驻营地，而就在前一天，一枚火箭榴弹在中国维和步兵营内的步战车附近爆炸，造成2名中国士兵死亡。
Yang Yujun, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Defence, said in comments published on the ministry's official website that the report was "malicious speculation".
在中国国防部官网上发布的一项声明中，国防部发言人杨宇军表示，这份报告纯属恶意炒作。
He said China's peacekeeping forces carried out the instructions of the U.N. mission in a responsible manner and did its utmost to guarantee the safety of civilians and other peacekeepers.
他表示，中国维和部队认真负责地执行了联合国南苏丹特派团司令部的指示，竭尽全力保护难民以及其他维和人员的安全。After the recent outbreak of conflict in South Sudan, the Chinese peacekeepers had conducted missions in and near the capital Juba to ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers and civilians, Yang noted.
杨宇军表示，在南苏丹国内爆发冲突后，中国维和部队在首都朱巴以及附近地区，执行联合国保护维和人员和难民的任务。Two Chinese soldiers were killed and five others were injured on July 10 following the escalation of the conflict, Yang added.
杨宇军补充说道，在7月10日武装冲突加剧后，有两名中国维和士兵牺牲，5名士兵受伤。Currently, the United Nations is investigating the performance of the United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Sudan, and making unwarranted accusations against UN peacekeepers and personnel before the findings have been published is irresponsible, he said.
他表示，目前联合国正在对南苏丹冲突期间维和部队表现进行调查，在联合国的调查结果公布以前，任何针对联合国维和行动和维和人员莫须有的指责都是不负责任的。
