22、i sat down with Reuters Global Managing Editor Alessandra Galloni in Berlin for an exclusive interview. The following is the transcript:Alessandra Galloni: The coronavirus has clearly been tragic for many of your people. It has spread to other parts of the world. It has resulted in travel restrictio

23、ns. Is China facing a crisis of confidence?加洛尼：新冠肺炎疫情明显对于中国人民来说是个特别严峻的挑战，同时也扩散到了世界其他地区。有一些国家对华实行了旅行限制，中国是否面临一场对华信念危机?王毅：这场疫情突如其来，的确给中国和世界带来了一次严峻挑战。但在习近平主席领导下，中国政府和人民经受住了考验，用自己的努力甚至牺牲赢得了国际社会的敬重和认可。Wang Yi: This sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP, or COVID-19) is a severe challenge to

24、 China and the world at large. Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the Chinese government and people have withstood the test and won the respect and recognition of the international community with their efforts and even sacrifice.疫情发生后，中国政府第一时间建立举国体制，汇合全国资源，实行了最全面、最严格、最彻底的措施迎击疫情，其中许多措施都超出了

25、国际卫生条例的要求和世界卫生组织的建议。我们以中国速度日以继夜抢救每一位患者的生命，用中国力气众志成城阻挡疫情的进一步扩散。经过艰苦努力，疫情总体上得到了限制。湖北以外地区确诊病例数量连续11天下降，下降幅度超过50%，治愈人数快速上升，已经有近7000位患者康复出院，全国病亡率限制在2.2%左右，假如不算湖北则在0.49%。这些事实和数据充分说明，中国实行的坚决措施是正确和有效的，这次疫情总体上也是可控和可治的。正如习近平主席指出，我们完全有信念、有实力、也有把握早日战胜疫情。After the outbreak, the Chinese government immediately set

26、 up a nationwide mechanism to mobilize resources from across the country. We have taken the most comprehensive, stringent and thorough prevention and control measures, many of which are well beyond what is required by the International Health Regulations and the recommendations of the World Health O

27、rganization (WHO).With the Chinese speed, we are working day and night to save the life of every patient. With the Chinese strength, we are united as one to contain the further spread of the epidemic. Through these arduous efforts, the epidemic is generally under control. For example, outside Hubei,

28、 the number of confirmed cases has been declining for 11 consecutive days across China. That is a cumulative drop of over 50 percent. There is a rapid increase in the cure rate, and nearly 7,000 people have recovered and been discharged from hospital. The case fatality rate is about 2.2 percent nati

29、onwide and just 0.49 percent outside Hubei.These facts and data show that Chinas decisive response is both right and effective, and that by and large, the outbreak is controllable and the disease curable. As President Xi Jinping points out, we have the confidence, capability and determination to pre

30、vail over the virus at an early date.作为一个负责任大国，中国从一起先就实行公开、透亮的看法，刚好向国际社会通报疫情信息，开展国际合作，努力阻挡疫情在全球扩散。截止到现在，在中国境外的确诊病例数量不到总数的1%。中国不仅全力维护了本国人民的生命平安和身体健康，也为全球公共卫生平安做出了贡献，付出了牺牲。世卫组织多次高度赞许中国的负责任看法，充分确定中国实行的坚决措施，对中国战胜疫情充溢信念。As a responsible major country, China has from the start acted in an open and transpa

31、rent manner in releasing relevant information to the world and seeking international cooperation to prevent the spread of the epidemic worldwide. To date, the number of confirmed cases outside China is less than one percent of the total. We are not only doing our very best to ensure the life, safety

32、 and health of the Chinese people, but also making contribution and sacrifice for global public health. WHO has on multiple occasions commended China for its responsible actions, speaking highly of Chinas decisive response and expressing confidence that China will overcome this epidemic.病毒没有国界，须要国际社

33、会共同面对。已经有160多个国家和国际组织负责人发电或发函，对中国表示慰问和支持。几十个国家政府和人民纷纷向中国伸出援手。对于这些善意，我们表示诚心感谢。Virus respects no borders. It requires a collective response from the international community. To date, leaders of over 160 countries and international organizations have expressed their sympathy and support through telegra

34、ms or letters. The governments and peoples of several dozen countries are lending a helping hand, and we are truly grateful for these acts of kindness.一些国家实行了加强检测的措施，有其合理之处。但也有一些国家反应过度，引发不必要的恐慌，也不符合世卫组织的建议。我信任，随着疫情得到进一步限制，这些国家也会思索放宽限制。终归国与国之间须要开展正常的交往与合作。In our view, the enhanced inspection measures

35、 taken by some countries are reasonable, but some other countries have overreacted. Their overreaction has caused unnecessary panic and is not consistent with the WHO recommendations. I believe as the epidemic is gradually brought under control, these countries may consider relaxing the restrictions

36、. At the end of the day, normal exchanges and cooperation among countries must be maintained.中国有句话，“烈火炼真金”。我们信任，经过这场疫情考验，中国人民将会更加坚毅团结，中国经济将更加稳健可持续，全体中国人民会以更坚实步伐，实现全面小康，迈向现代化进程。中国还有一句话叫做“患难见真情”。在共同抗击疫情的斗争中，中国同各国之间的友情和信任将得到加强和深化。各国都会意识到，我们身处一个地球村，国与国的命运已经紧密地联系在一起。There is a Chinese saying: True gold c

37、an stand the test of fire. Im sure that emerging from this test, the Chinese people will become more resilient and united and the Chinese economy will achieve more solid and sustainable growth. The Chinese people will continue to march confidently toward the goal of establishing a society of moderat

38、e prosperity in all respects and embark on a new journey of modernization.Theres another Chinese saying, “Adversity reveals true friendship.” As China battles the disease together with the world, its friendship and trust with other countries will be strengthened and deepened. Countries will realize

39、that they live in a global village, with their future interconnected like never before.Alessandra Galloni: You talked about transparency, but initially China was not forthcoming about the virus, including when there were some people in China who were warning about it. Can you explain whys that decis

40、ion?加洛尼：您刚才谈到透亮，但是一起先中方对疫情形势的推断和了解并不是很完整，中国国内有人更早提出了相关预警，最终的确定是怎么做出的?王毅：这次疫情是由一个新型病毒导致的，自然有一个相识和鉴定的过程。事实上每次世界上发生疫情，各国政府作出最终确定前，都必需经过仔细和反复论证，这是一种负责任的看法。中国政府发觉病例后，在第一时间实行措施，并向世卫组织作了通报。同时经过仔细评估，在很短时间内确定这是新型病毒疫情，快速建立起覆盖全国的联防联控机制。我们这次实行的措施特别刚好，动作特别快速。这也是世卫组织总干事到中国考察后得出的结论。Wang Yi: Well, this is a new vir

41、us. So naturally it takes time for people to gain more understanding and knowledge about it. The same has happened in other countries. If we look at past epidemics, we will see that the government will eventually make decisions based on serious and repeated tests and study. That is how a responsible

42、 government deals with it.After individual cases emerged, the Chinese government took prompt actions and informed the WHO at the first opportunity. At the same time, we have made rigorous assessments. In a short period of time, we identified and decided that this is a new virus. Once that decision w

43、as made, a nationwide inter-agency task force was quickly put in place. The measures taken by China are timely and swift. This is also the conclusion of the WHO Director-General after his visit to China.Alessandra Galloni: You said some countries have overreacted. Which countries?加洛尼：您说有一些国家事实上做了过度反

44、应，请问是哪些国家?王毅：我并不想列举这些国家的名字，各国都有其自己的考虑和理由。我想大家都看得见，一些国家实行的措施远远超出了世界卫生组织的建议，比如全面关闭人员往来，又如不仅从武汉撤出人员，而且还要从疫情并不严峻、只有个别病例的地区撤出人员。我们不会干涉别国的确定，但这些措施是否有利于各国共同应对这场疫情，要划一个大大的问号。Wang Yi: I dont want to single out individual countries. They have their own judgments and reasons. Everybody can see that the measure

45、s taken by those countries go far beyond the recommendations of the WHO. For example, measures have been taken to comprehensively stop people-to-people exchanges. And not only people in Wuhan are evacuated, people in regions where there are only isolated cases or where the epidemic is not severe are

46、 also pulled out. We do not interfere with the decisions of other countries. However, when these measures are taken, we must see whether they are truly beneficial to a joint response to the epidemic. There is a question mark on it.Alessandra Galloni: This is a big challenge to President Xi. How is t

47、he government dealing with this?加洛尼：对于习近平主席来说，这次疫情是一个相当大的挑战。中国政府对此如何回应?王毅：这场疫情防控阻击战，是一场总体战，也是人民斗争，每个人都做出努力，每个人都发挥作用。在习近平主席亲自指挥部署下，我们快速建立了覆盖全国的联防联控机制。在中国960万平方公里土地上，14亿人民团结一样，把疫情防控做得如此彻底、如此全面，这是史无前例的，在许多国家也是难以想像的，但是，中国做到了。可能仍会有个别人提出质疑，但绝大多数国家都对此表示了高度赞许，指出只有在中国，只有在习近平主席领导下，才得以有效管控住这场突如其来而且传播速度相当快的疫情，中

48、国不仅有力维护了本国人民的生命健康，也阻挡了疫情向世界的快速扩散。Wang Yi: This is a comprehensive battle and a peoples war, with every person pitching in and playing a role. President Xi is personally overseeing and guiding the response to the epidemic. We quickly set up a national framework of epidemic control on this land of 9.6

49、 million square kilometers and with 1.4 billion people. We are doing everything we can, leaving no stone unturned, in our efforts to contain and mitigate this epidemic. This is an unprecedented endeavor, which is probably unimaginable in many countries. But China pulled this off.There may be certain questions or challenges to China. Yet the overwhelming majority of countries have expressed their appreciation for what Chi
