Some US politicians attempting to politicize the novel coronavirus have come under fire as officials, scientists and experts on international relations warned that such stigmatization would undermine international solidarity in containing the pandemic.
一些试图将新型冠状病毒政治化的美国政客受到了抨击,因为官员、科学家和国际关系专家警告说,这种将病毒政治化的行为将破坏国际社会遏制这一流行病的团结。
The warning came after some senior US officials connected the virus with China. They include US President Donald Trump, who described the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” on social media and a White House media briefing, although Director Robert Redfield of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said using the word Chinese as a way to describe the coronavirus is wrong.
此前,一些美国高级官员将病毒与中国联系起来。其中包括美国总统唐纳德·特朗普,他在社交媒体上将冠状病毒描述为\"中国病毒\",并在白宫新闻发布会上这样说。尽管美国疾病控制和预防中心主任罗伯特·雷德菲尔德说,用中国病毒这个词作为一种描述冠状病毒的方式是错误的。
On Monday, Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, told US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Beijing strongly opposes and condemns certain politicians’ slanderous stigmatization of China as it fights the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak.
周一,中共中央政治局委员杨洁篪对美国国务卿迈克·庞佩奥说,中国坚决反对和谴责某些政客诋毁中国,反对新型冠状病毒肺炎爆发。
