China News Service, Beijing, April 2 (Ma Xiuxiu) Now that the situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Germany is getting worse, when asked if overseas Chinese and foreign students need to return to China, Chinese ambassador to Germany Wu Cheng said that there are two factors to be weighed.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, China News Network and China Overseas Chinese Network invited Chinese Ambassador to Germany Wu Ken and representatives from the overseas Chinese community to introduce China-Germany joint measures to respond to the epidemic and the contributions of local Chinese and overseas Chinese. During the interview, Wu Chen responded to the above questions.
Wu Jian said that the current domestic epidemic prevention and control has indeed undergone positive changes and has been effectively controlled on the whole. On the contrary, the situation in Germany has become increasingly severe. Some international students, especially domestic families, hope that the children will return to the country as soon as possible. "I fully understand this mood because the strict domestic epidemic prevention and control measures are reassuring, which reflects their trust in the party and government and the motherland."
Wu Jian also suggested that you must weigh two factors before making a decision. The first factor is whether the country's prevention and control system, prevention and control measures, and medical level are effective and meet the needs of epidemic prevention and control. "From this perspective, I think Germany's foundation and level should be relatively advanced globally."
On the other hand, Wu Chen said that everyone needs to consider the risk of cross-infection during the return trip. According to its understanding, there have been many cases of foreign students being infected on the way home, and the risks in closed cabins are indeed uncontrollable.
"So, I hope everyone can look at the issue of returning to China objectively, rationally, and scientifically, and weigh various risks and analyze them well." Wu Chen said that no matter what decisions people make, the embassy will provide full support. (Finish)
