　　China News Service, Beijing, April 12 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on the 12th.

　　A reporter asked: The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China said that China's new crown epidemic prevention and control policies have disrupted many companies and damaged the stability of the supply chain.

How does China respond to this?

　　Zhao Lijian: China's "dynamic clearing" policy and epidemic prevention regulations are based on science and expert opinions, in line with China's actual conditions and the guiding principles of the World Health Organization, and effectively ensure the safety and health of Chinese and foreign citizens living in China, and contribute to the global fight against the epidemic. made an important contribution.

The international community, including the WHO, generally speaks highly of this.

　　Since last year, the epidemic in mainland China has spread to many places, and some cities have adopted a series of prevention and control measures.

Although these measures have had some impacts on production and life, these impacts are short-term and their scope is limited.

It can ensure the normal production and life of the vast majority of the country and the vast majority of people.

Of course, any prevention and control measures will have some costs, and these costs are worthwhile compared with protecting people's lives and health.

　　Facts have proved that the general policy of "dynamic clearing" is in line with China's actual situation, the way is right, and the effect is good.

China is one of the countries with the most successful epidemic prevention in the world, both in terms of the number of confirmed deaths and economic development.

It is precisely by insisting on strong and effective prevention and control measures that while maintaining its own economic and social development, China has made important contributions to maintaining the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain and the growth of the world economy.

　　I would like to reiterate that the fundamentals of China's long-term economic growth have not changed, China's status as an important engine of global economic growth has not changed, and the confidence of the international community in China's economy has not changed.

We are willing to continue to strengthen cooperation with all parties to inject impetus into the sustained recovery of the global economy.
