4月1日，中國駐悉尼總領館發言人致信澳大利亞《每日電訊報》（The Daily Telegraph），批駁該報近期刊發的有關新冠肺炎疫情涉華報道。全文如下：
近期，澳大利亞《每日電訊報》就新冠肺炎疫情刊登多篇涉及中國的報道和評論，字裡行間充斥著無知、偏見和傲慢。我無意逐一回應，但想向《每日電訊報》提10個問題：
一、病毒溯源是一個科學問題，需要聽取科學、專業的意見。目前病毒源自何處，尚無定論。世界衛生組織已將新冠病毒命名為“COVID-19”。把病毒標籤化、對中國汙名化,既不會減輕自身疫情，更不會對疫情防控國際合作有任何幫助。貴報屢屢將病毒同中國相聯繫，甚至稱新冠病毒是“中國製造”，目的何在？
二、湖北省武漢市採取集中隔離措施，武漢人民為阻斷疫情向外傳播付出了巨大努力和犧牲。貴報為抓眼球、賺流量，不惜稱武漢為“殭屍之城”、稱武漢海鮮市場為“蝙蝠市場”，道德底線何在？
三、中國疫情防控成效充分彰顯了中國共產黨以人民為中心的執政理念，顯示了中國製度的強大優勢。貴報不敢正視事實，反而極力拿著放大鏡尋找中國製度的缺點，貴報的評判標準究竟是人民的健康和安全、還是意識形態界線？
四、自1月3日開始，中方一直及時向世衛組織及世界各國通報疫情信息，分享病毒基因序列，介紹疫情防控和救治方案，為全世界抗擊疫情贏得了時間。貴報反倒聲稱中國隱瞞疫情真相、延誤他國抗疫時機，公正何在？
五、中國、意大利等國在不同階段採取相似的“封城”措施，目的都是阻止疫情擴散蔓延。貴報卻認為西方國家只能學習文化和政治上“同宗”的意大利經驗，這是不是赤裸裸的雙重標準？
六、當前全球疫情加速擴散蔓延，中國正全力支援其它疫情嚴重的國家。病毒無國界，我們本應摒棄偏見、團結應對，而不是彼此猜疑、相互指責。貴報編造中國應為疫情蔓延負責的歪理，甚至要求“中國賠償損失”，是想蓄意挑撥離間、還是要為種族主義推波助瀾？
七、你們一再質疑世衛組織及其負責人對中國疫情防控工作所作的積極評價，但你們是否知道世衛組織是全球公共衛生領域最權威的國際組織、擁有包括澳大利亞在內的190多個國家？
八、中國疫情爆發後，海外華人華僑和中國企業曾從全球購買口罩等物資支持中國抗疫。當前全球疫情擴散蔓延，他們同樣在以捐贈防控物資等方式參與駐在國抗疫。這是任何有社會責任感的個人或企業都會做的事。貴報有意混淆事實、移花接木，把有關中國企業1月底向中國捐贈防疫物資的行為，作為兩個月後澳大利亞醫療防護物資短缺的“替罪羊”，是不是太荒謬了？
九、近期《每日電訊報》兩次參加中國總領館舉辦的疫情吹風會。貴報無視中方提供的權威信息和世衛組織的專業意見，反而熱衷於引用幾個所謂“戰略分析家”的言論，聲稱“中國政府公佈的疫情數據不可信”、“澳大利亞經濟應該跟中國脫鉤”。貴報是否知道這些人所在機構被披露長期接受來自美國政府和軍火商的經費支持，熱衷於炮製、炒作各種反華議題？
十、近期貴報關於中國疫情的報道充滿誇大其實的言論、不負責任的謠言、極度政治化的評論。這些拙劣的反華表演是否是一個抹黑攻擊中國努力的一部分、是否與某國某些媒體文章源自同一編劇？

Ten Questions to the Daily Telegraph
from the Spokesperson ofthe
Chinese ConsulateGeneral in Sydney
Recentlythe Daily Telegraph has published a number of reports and opinionsabout China’s response to COVID-19that are full of ignorance, prejudice and arrogance. Ihave no intention of responding to individual article, but would like to ask ten questionsto the Daily Telegraph:
1.Tracing the origin of the virus is a scientific issue that requires professional, science-based assessment.The origin of the virus is still undetermined, and the World Health Organization has named the novel coronavirus "COVID-19". Labeling the virus and stigmatizing China will neither alleviate certain country’s own difficulties, nor will it help the international health cooperation. So what is the real motive behind your attempt to repeatedly link the virus to China and even stating that the novel coronavirus was "made in China"?
2.Strictquarantine measures were taken in Wuhan, Hubei Province and the people of Wuhan made a huge effort and personal sacrifice to stop the spread of the epidemic. Nevertheless, in order to capture attention and gain more internet hits, you called Wuhan the "Zombieland" and Wuhan seafood market the "bat market". How low can you go?
3.The effectiveness of China's epidemic prevention and control has fully underlinedthe people-centred philosophy of the Communist Partyof China and the strong advantages of the Chinese system. Instead of admitting and facing facts, the articles in your newspaper have wantonly attacked and smeared the CPC and the Chinese government with vicious language. Is your judgement based on the well-being of the people or do you have an ideological prejudice?
4.Since 3 January, China has been updating the WHO and the international community in a timely and transparent manner, including releasing information on the epidemic, sharing the genome sequence of the virus, and conducting medical and health cooperation. The WHO said recently 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 contain the spread of the epidemic. And now in late March you are blaming China for delay?
5.China, Italy and other countries have adopted similar "city lockdown" measures at different stages for the same purpose of preventingthe spread of the epidemic. But you believed that other western countries should only learn from the Italian experience because of the closest cultural and political comparison. Isn’t this a blatant example of double standards?
6. The epidemic is spreading rapidly around the globe, and China is doing its utmost to support other severely affected countries. Virus respectsno borders. We should abandon prejudice and respond in unity instead of with suspicion and recriminations. Are you trying to deliberately sow discord or promote racism by fabricating the false accusation that China is responsible for the spread of the epidemic and Australia should bill Beijing for its economic loss?
7. You have repeatedly questioned the WHO’s positive assessment of China's epidemic prevention and control, but surely you know that the WHO is the most authoritative international organization in global public health, with more than 190 members including Australia?
8.In January and February, overseas Chinese communities and Chinese companies donated medical supplies to China, the then epicenter of the pandemic. As the virus spreads to other countries, they are currently actively participating in various means in the prevention and control efforts in their residing country. In this sense, their efforts correspond with those of many other individuals and companies around the world who have a sense of social responsibility. By making what certain Chinese individuals or companies did in late January a “scapegoat” for the shortage of medical supplies two month later in Australia, isn’t it too ridiculous?
9. Recently, the Daily Telegraph attendedtwo mediabriefings on the epidemic held by the Chinese Consulate General. In disregardof the authoritative information provided by China and the WHO's professional opinions, you instead quoted several so-called "strategic analysts" and doubted statistics issued by China and even advocated the "decoupling theory". Were you aware that the institution where these people work have been exposed as long accepting financial support from the US government and arms dealers, and it has been keen to play up anti-China issues?
10. Your recent coverageon the epidemic in China are exaggerated, full of irresponsible rumours and highly politicized. Which begs the question: are these anti-china sentiments a part of a broader smear campaign against China? Are they from the same>
