下面是英文译文：

Reporter: "That's very kind. Well then, I have a question about China, about the catastrophe in China. I understand and Elizabeth said it as well. You were saying that China has the means to face this catastrophe, nevertheless, one has just the same the impression that China has held back, in any event, these demands for international aide and it has blocked, at some point as well, the arrival of experts. We hear you speak very little about that when one compares the sharp language against the government of Myanmar. I add as well the fact that we encounter many difficulties as journalists to go on location and the occasion arises that one is not able at all to obtain a journalist visa to go to China. Could we hear a little bit more from the United Nations on this?"

- UN Representative: I think that one can not at all compare Burma to China. They are two totally different countries. I do not have information that any information whatever has been held back. From the first day, we have been in contact with as Marie Heuze says, with the resident coordinator who represents the United Nations team. Equally our experts, _ teams and the Secretariat of (?) Lynn Sarah which totals a network of "search and rescue team" organizations in the world. China is an active member of this secretariat. It coordinates its networks and the entire world has been in contact. China has, just the same, means that Burma does not and given that the topography makes it extremely difficult and that would pose problems to any country however well-equipped it might be. They are making every effort. They have sent many of the military. I believe that more than thirty thousand are in place.

- Other UN Representative: "One hundred thousand."

- UN Representative: One hundred thousand. I do not have the figure at hand, but we are in contact with them. We are in contact with the Ambassador here in Geneva, in New York and do not forget that the Secretariat of this "Search and Rescue Team is located in Geneva and, equally, the Secretariat of UNDAT. Right beside, in quotations, the First Aid Operation of Sichuan (OCHI?) is located. They are in constant contact and there have been discussions with the Chinese Permanent Mission to the United Nations. He is constantly kept updated with what we can propose and with advice and with the teams. Currently, there is not any, I would say, refusal with what one would compare to the situation in Myanmar. Now, concerning access (permits) for journalists, that does not concern the UN. In fact, I do not have information concerning that.

- Another UN Representative: "No and we have seen many images and the journalists are on the ground. They are able to move about. There are people from European television who have arrived since the televisions are, just the same, filled with images that are not the images from Chinese television.

- Another UN Representative: Another thing, another thing. I cut you off. I wasn't very courteous with Veronique to begin with, but agencies like UNICEF that are present, UNEF and a certain number of large organizations are completely operational. They are operational in this zone. In other words, there are no restrictions. I can't let you say that there has been an attitude on the part of the Chinese government of refusing international aid. If you mean that, I'll ask them formally. It is absolutely not the case. There is an offer from the Secretary General. There are contacts that are not only at the level that is the level most convenient since it is the representative of the Secretary General in place, who is the resident coordinator of programs of the United Nations, that is in close contact with the Chinese authorities have summarized their needs for which there is an immediate urgency. The UN has communicated them to you. They are so…I have the list that I could share with you. The United Nations Program for development is in the process of financing this list that has been given to the United Nations system. So then, there you have it. I can't let you say that.

Chinese Reporter: "And then, I would like to give a lesson in geography to my colleague who is completely ignorant."

- UN Representative: No, no. No, no… (interjection)

Chinese Reporter: "The surface area of China is a bit larger than that of all of Europe and the disaster region is located in the mountainous extreme south-west of China. Even my Chinese colleague who went there on location (arrived) three days later. Therefore, I don't think that even for the first aid rescue workers who endure traveling to the region much less a foreign journalist who doesn't speak the local dialect, who offers nothing to help save the people, to go there be it for reporting, be it to safeguard freedom of expression. Well then, this has nothing to do with it. (It was just) a lesson in geography and morals. Thank you.

-UN Representative: Ok, we're going to change the subject if you like (Giggle of relief). Are there any other questions on China? Are there any other questions on Myanmar?
