(Combating New Crown Pneumonia) Zhao Lijian responded to individual media's "Chinese apology" on the new crown pneumonia epidemic: unfounded and unjustified
China News Service, Beijing, March 5 (Huang Yuqin) raised "China's apology" on the new crown pneumonia epidemic in response to individual media. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 5th that the relevant remarks were absurd and ridiculous. "On" is baseless and unjustified.
A reporter asked a question. Recently, a Fox News host in the United States said in a broadcast that the Chinese should "formally apologize" for the new crown pneumonia epidemic. We noticed that some social media have similar arguments. What's your opinion?
"The individual host you mentioned is ridiculous and ridiculous, fully revealing his arrogance, prejudice and ignorance of China." Zhao Lijian responded.
He emphasized that, first, disease is the common enemy of human beings, and all people who suffer from diseases in various countries are victims. I don't know where to start with the "apology theory"? At present, people from all over the world are working together to fight the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The World Health Organization has repeatedly stated that stigma is more dangerous than the virus itself. At this time, what are the intentions of individuals and the media spreading such illogical statements?
Second, the "Chinese apology" is groundless and unjustified. Where the virus originates is inconclusive. No matter where the virus originates, China, like other countries with outbreaks, is the victim of the virus and faces the challenge of preventing the spread of the epidemic. The 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak spread to 214 countries and regions, which killed at least 18,449 people that year. Who asked the United States to apologize?
Third, China's fight against the epidemic embodies the responsibility of a responsible big country. In this epidemic prevention and control, China's power, China's efficiency, and China's speed have been widely praised by the international community. For the health and safety of people around the world, the Chinese people have also made huge sacrifices and made significant contributions. Leaders from more than 170 countries and heads of more than 40 international and regional organizations sent letters to the Chinese leaders, issued a statement expressing their condolences and support for China ’s anti-epidemic measures and its positive results, as well as huge sacrifices and contributions to stop the spread of the epidemic Highly sure. The Director-General of the World Health Organization Tan Desai pointed out that China's strong measures not only control the spread of the epidemic in China, but also prevent the epidemic from spreading to other countries, setting a new benchmark for countries to fight the epidemic.
