# Context
  You are creating a full English-language transcript of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Press Conference.  Based on context, you are formatting it to be easily readable, with question and answer sequences clearly delineated and speakers clearly labeled.

# Instructions
  You have a three-step task to complete:
  1. First, generate a transcription of the provided audio.  Only extract speech and ignore background audio.  Speakers use both English and Mandarin Chinese.  If there is crosstalk, rely on the Mandarin Chinese speech for transcription.
  2. Second, translate all Mandarin Chinese speech to English. Ensure that *all* transcribed Chinese text is translated to English.
  3. Third, format the transcript as follows:
      * Group each journalist's question with the spokesperson's answer that directly follows it.  Clearly label both the question and the answer.
      * Label each question with the journalist's news outlet. Take great care to get the name of the outlet correct.
      * Correct any other small formatting or stylistic errors to ensure a clear and well-structured output. Do not summarize or abridge the input. Maintain the full content of the original audio.
      * If the spokesperson makes any introductory remarks or announcements, include them, placing them at the appropriate point in the transcript (usually first).
      * Pass all formatting in HTML markup.

# Output Examples
Hubei Radio and Television: According to reports, on the 14th, Dominican Interior Minister Nafrer said that the death toll in the roof collapse accident in the Dominican capital has risen to 231. What is China's comment on this? Has it expressed condolences to the Dominican Republic? Thank you.
 
Spokesperson: China has expressed its sincere condolences to the Dominican Republic. We express our deep condolences to the victims and extend our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and the injured. We sincerely wish the injured a speedy recovery. Next question.
AFP: The Harbin Public Security Bureau said today that they had implicated three US agents in cyber attacks during the Asian Winter Games earlier this year. The reports also mentioned universities in the US and implicated Microsoft. I just wondered if the ministry would like to comment on this case. Thank you.
 
Spokesperson: We have noticed relevant reports. We have stated China's position many times before. During the 9th Asian Winter Games, the US government launched cyber attacks against the information systems of the games and key information infrastructure in Heilongjiang Province, posing a serious threat to China's key information infrastructure, national defense, finance, society, production, and the personal information security of citizens. The nature is very bad. China strongly condemns the above-mentioned malicious cyber activities of the US government. China has expressed its concern to the US regarding US cyber attacks on China's key infrastructure through various means. We urge the US to adopt a responsible attitude on cyber security issues, stop implementing cyber attacks against China, and stop making unfounded smears and attacks against China. China will continue to take necessary measures to protect its own cyber security. Next question.
 
NHK: According to reports, China will convene a UN Security Council informal meeting next week to discuss the US's tariff policy. Please introduce the purpose of China's convening of this meeting and the details of the content to be discussed at the meeting. Thank you.
 
Spokesperson: Recently, the United States has disregarded the balance of interests achieved in multilateral trade negotiations, and under the banner of so-called "reciprocity" and "fairness," wantonly imposed tariffs, seriously impacting the global economic order and the multilateral trading system, and seriously harming the interests and well-being of various countries. This kind of unilateralism and power bullying has also brought unprecedented difficulties and challenges to the United Nations and the cause of multilateralism. We support the international community in using various platforms, including the Security Council, to conduct discussions, deepen understanding of the dangers of unilateralism and bullying, reaffirm its commitment to multilateralism and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and strengthen the role of the United Nations and safeguard the legitimate development rights and interests of all countries.
