3月23日，外交部發(fā)言人耿爽主持例行記者會。

有記者提問，據(jù)報道，美國總統(tǒng)特朗普在20日和21日的記者會上稱，中國本可以更早告知美方情況。另據(jù)美國媒體披露，3月20日，美國白宮國安會要求各聯(lián)邦機構(gòu)統(tǒng)一口徑，通過各種途徑對外宣稱中國策劃掩蓋疫情，導致全球大流行。中方對此有何評論？

對此，耿爽回答道：

我看到了有關(guān)報道。同時，我也看到另一則報道稱，3月20日，美國國務卿蓬佩奧對記者表示，中國、俄羅斯和伊朗等正在散布虛假信息，詆毀美國為防控疫情所做工作。

I've read relevant reports. And I also saw another report saying that on March 20, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the press that China, Russia and Iran were spreading misinformation and smearing US epidemic response.

把這兩則報道聯(lián)系在一起看，在同一天，也就是3月20日，美方一方面要求聯(lián)邦機構(gòu)統(tǒng)一口徑，對外攻擊抹黑中國，另一方面又指責中國、俄羅斯和伊朗在散布虛假信息。我不禁要問，到底是誰在散布虛假消息，是誰在混淆視聽、顛倒黑白？美方這種造謠污蔑、賊喊捉賊的把戲，實在太拙劣了。

Putting them together, you will find that on the very day of March 20, the US was on the one hand pushing federal agencies to speak against China and on the other hand accusing China, Russia and Iran of disseminating misinformation. I just can't help asking who is really spreading misinformation to misleading the public??The US, like a thief crying stop thief, has played such a cheap trick of slander and smear.

上周五，我以時間線的方式，詳細介紹了疫情發(fā)生以來中方向美方通報疫情信息及中美雙方溝通的基本情況。中方始終本著公開、透明、負責任的態(tài)度，及時向世衛(wèi)組織以及包括美國在內(nèi)的有關(guān)國家和地區(qū)通報疫情信息，得到國際社會充分肯定、高度評價和普遍贊譽。在過去兩個多月時間里，中國人民團結(jié)一心，眾志成城，奮力抗擊疫情，為全世界的抗疫斗爭贏得了寶貴時間，也作出了重要貢獻。

Last Friday, I detailed the notification and communication on COVID-19 between China and the US since the outbreak in a timeline. China has been sharing epidemic information with relevant countries and regions, the US included, in an open, transparent and responsible manner, which is universally acclaimed by the international community. Over the past two months or so, the Chinese people have united as one to fight against it. We have bought precious time for and made a significant contributions to the world.

世衛(wèi)組織最近表示，新加坡、韓國等一些國家正是充分利用了中方為世界爭取的寶貴時間，采取必要防控措施，才使疫情蔓延得到了控制。而在這段寶貴的時間里，美方又做了什么？

The WHO said that countries like Singapore and the ROK have made full use of the precious time China bought for the world and taken necessary prevention and control measures to stem the spread of the epidemic. What has the US done in the same time?

中方自1月3日就開始向世衛(wèi)組織和包括美方在內(nèi)的各國定期通報信息，1月23日宣布關(guān)閉離開武漢通道。美國政府2月2日宣布全面禁止過去14天到訪過中國的外國人入境，那時美國國內(nèi)公布的確診病例只有10余例。50天過去了，美國確診病例由10余例已經(jīng)激增到3萬余例。這50天時間里，美方采取了什么有力措施？

Since January 3, China has been regularly updating the WHO and countries, the US included. On January 23, China announced suspension of outbound public transport from Wuhan. When the US government announced the denial of entry by foreigners who had visited China in the past 14 days on February 2, only about 10 confirmed cases were reported in the US. Fifty days on, the number of confirmed cases in the US has soared from 10 to more than 30,000. Has the US taken any effective measures in the past 50 days??

美方完全浪費了中方爭取的寶貴時間，事到如今美方反而企圖詆毀他人、轉(zhuǎn)嫁責任，尋找替罪羊。這種做法既不道德，也不負責，不僅對美國自身的防疫工作絲毫沒有幫助，對促進國際社會的抗疫合作也絲毫沒有幫助。

The US side has done nothing but waste the precious time China bought.?Now the US has nothing better to do than discredit others, deflect responsibilities and find scapegoats.?This is immoral and irresponsible. It will not help the US stop the pandemic, nor will it support the international community's joint efforts against it.

這里我要再次敦促美方，立即停止對疫情政治化、停止對中國污名化，停止詆毀他國，美方還是集中精力做好自己的事，為世界各國攜手抗擊疫情、維護全球公共衛(wèi)生安全發(fā)揮建設(shè)性作用。

I once again urge the US to immediately stop politicizing the pandemic, stigmatizing China and denigrating other countries. The US should focus on getting its own house in order and play a constructive role in the global combat against the pandemic and safeguarding global public health security.
