The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to British Prime Minister Johnson's remarks from China

Q

"The Office of the Foreign Ministry spokesman's office" news, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 29, the reporter of Oriental Satellite TV asked questions: We are concerned about media reports that British Prime Minister Johnson recently accepted a German media interview with Chinese resistance and comparison comparison. It is said that unlike authoritarian countries, democratic countries need time response when responding to major issues, but it can always be resolved. What is China's comment?

A

Zhao Lijian: China adheres to the general policy of "dynamic clearing zero", blocks the spread of epidemic at the fastest speed and lowest cost, protects people's life safety and physical health to the greatest extent, and minimizes the impact of epidemic conditions on economic and social development. This is both responsible to the Chinese people and the responsibility of the world. For more than two years of outbreak, the infection rate and mortality rate of the epidemic in China have remained at the lowest level in the world. At the same time, China has maintained overall economic stable growth. It turns out that China's prevention and control policy is scientific, correct, and effective, and it is also responsible for the people.

The United Kingdom is the earliest country in the world to implement "group immunity". However, the price paid by the United Kingdom was a total of 22.61 million cases, and a total of 180,000 people died. I noticed that it was reported that as early as last year, there were two reports from the British Parliament that the British reported that the British tried to infect most people in the early days of the UK to get "group immunity" as a "serious mistake". The timing of national blockade has caused one of the worst public health failures in British history.

The country conditions are very different, but they should respond to the epidemic in the attitude of being responsible for the people. China has no intention of comparing and competing with any country's anti -epidemic way, and also hopes that the British side can objectively treat China's epidemic prevention policy objectively with a correct mindset. Handling the so -called "democracy and authority" narrative on the issue of resistance will only make more low -level errors and make the people pay a greater price.
