谣言12：“中国对新冠肺炎病毒全球大流行负有责任”

真相：要求中国为疫情负责、赔偿，于法无据、于理不通

AllegationNo.12:Chinaisresponsiblefortheglobalspreadofthepandemic.

Fact:TheclaimthatChinaisresponsibleandshouldcompensateforthepandemicislegallyunfoundedandunreasonable.

疫情是天灾，中国同其他国家一样，都是受害者。突发大规模流行疾病是世界公共卫生事件，不存在所谓疫情首发国的“国家责任”问题。对于所谓“中国负责赔偿论”，外交部发言人耿爽质问：“2009年H1N1流感首先在美国确诊并大面积暴发，蔓延到214个国家和地区，导致近20万人死亡，有谁让美国赔偿了吗？”

COVID-19isanatural,notman-made,disaster.China,likeothercountries,isavictim,notaculprit.Apandemicisaglobalpublichealthemergency.Thereisnosuchathingas“stateresponsibility”ofthefirstcountrytoreportcases.The2009H1N1influenzaviruswasfirstdetectedinpeopleintheUnitedStatesandhassincespreadto214countriesandregionsaroundtheworld,claimingnearly200,000livesglobally,buttheinternationalcommunityhasneverdemandedthattheUStakeresponsibilityorpayreparations,saidGengShuang,China’sForeignMinistryspokesperson.

国际上没有哪条法律支持向首先报告疫情的国家追责，中国的防疫抗疫行为也没有违反任何国际法。在这次疫情中，中方国际通报的渠道快速、及时、公开、透明，采取的诸多防控举措也远超《国际卫生条例》要求。俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫表示，索赔说法令人“毛骨悚然”，不可接受。

谣言13:“中国防疫搞区别对待，歧视非洲公民”

真相：中方防控举措坚持中外一视同仁，反对任何针对特定人群的差异性做法

AllegationNo.13:ChinatookdiscriminatorymeasuresagainstAfricansinitsvirus-hitcities.

Fact:China’sCOVID-19responsemeasuresapplytobothChineseandforeignerswithoutdiscrimination.Chinaopposesanydifferentiatedanti-viruspracticesthattargetspecificgroupsofpeople.

4月24日，针对所谓“非洲人在广州遭受歧视”等谣言，中国驻南非大使馆在南主流媒体上发表《警惕别有用心的谣言干扰中非友好关系发展》的署名文章。文章指出，为保护所有中外人员健康安全，广州市近期升级了防控举措。广州市对所有高风险人群进行重点排查和全面检测，对所有入境乘客实施14天强制隔离，共对1.5万人实施居家或集中隔离，其中中国人近1万人，外国人有4600多人。外国人中既有非洲国家侨民，也有美、澳、俄等13国公民，绝对不是“歧视非洲”。

针对“尼日利亚公民在广州遭到不当对待”等不实传言，尼方进行了澄清，尼日利亚外交部长奥尼亚马表示，在广州接受隔离的尼日利亚公民得到妥善安排。非洲国家驻穗领团团长4月18日表示，广东省和广州市采取了多项举措，保障非洲国家在粤侨民的合法权益。部分非洲驻华使节则表示，任何外部势力，无论出于什么企图，采取什么手段，都无法阻挡非中友好关系发展。

谣言14:“中国黑客间谍试图窃取美国疫苗研究成果”

真相：中国坚决反对网络黑客攻击行为，新冠疫苗研究走在世界前列

AllegationNo.14:HackersfromChinatriedtostealUSvaccineresearchresults.

Fact:Chinafirmlyopposescyberhacking,andChinaisalreadyattheforefrontoftheglobalracetodevelopaCOVID-19vaccine.

中国历来坚决反对并依法打击一切形式的网络黑客攻击行为。反观美国，从“维基解密”到“斯诺登事件”，再到最近的“瑞士加密机事件”，美方至今没有也无法给国际社会一个交代。事实已经一再证明，美国长期以来对外国政府、企业和个人实施大规模、有组织、无差别的网络窃密与监听，中国也深受其害。

中国在新冠病毒疫苗研发方面起步早、投入高、进度快，并且始终秉承开放合作的理念。疫情暴发后中国选择了5条技术路线加快推进新冠病毒疫苗研发，覆盖了全球在研新冠病毒疫苗的主要类型。截至目前，中国已有多个新冠病毒疫苗获批进入临床试验。近日我国科研团队在《科学》上发布新冠病毒疫苗动物实验研究结果。
