These a few countries are obsessed with lecturing others on human rights. But facts in the past have proved that they are neither qualified or capable of doing so. We hope they will understand that China today is not the same as Iraq, Libya or Syria, still less what it was 120 years ago. The days when foreign powers could force China to open its doors with cannons are long gone; also gone are the days when several so-called scholars and state media could unscrupulously malign China in collusion without being punished. We urge them not to underestimate Chinese people's firm determination to defend national interests and dignity. It's a courtesy to reciprocate what we receive. They will have to pay a price for their ignorance and arrogance.

The EU imposed sanctions on relevant Chinese individuals and entity on the basis of nothing but lies and disinformation fabricated by a handful of anti-China elements. Such moves disregard and distort facts, grossly interfere in China's internal affairs, flagrantly breach international law and basic norms governing international relations, and severely undermine China-EU relations. Vice Foreign Minister Qin Gang summoned EU ambassador to China last night to lodge solemn representation and express firm opposition, stern condemnation and strong protest on the wrong decision of the EU. He also briefed on China's countermeasures. As I just said, China will take firm reactions to any country who cite lies and rumors to smear China, interfere in China's domestic affairs and undermine China's interest and dignity.

疫苗是抗击病毒的利器，也是拯救生命的希望。无论是中国疫苗，还是外国疫苗，只要安全有效，就是好疫苗。中方从没有要求所有人都接种中国疫苗。实际上，疫苗是稀缺物资，我们自己也非常需要。中方之所以愿意和大家分享，向60多国提供援助，为40多国购买疫苗提供便利，或者为在华外国人接种疫苗，都是在尽力照顾他们的需求，提供力所能及的帮助。

Vaccines are our weapons against the virus and give us hope to save lives. Be it Chinese vaccine or foreign vaccine, so long as it is safe and effective, it is a good vaccine. China never asks others to receive Chinese vaccines. As a matter of fact, vaccines are much sought-after. We in China are in great need of them as well. The reason that we are willing to share them with others, whether by offering aid to more than 60 countries or facilitating the purchase of vaccines by over 40 countries or making vaccination available to foreigners in China, is to meet their needs and do the best we can to help.

为有序恢复中外人员往来，中方已经对接种中国生产的新冠肺炎疫苗并持有接种证明的外籍人士来华提供签证便利。这是在充分考虑安全性和有效性的基础上，对疫苗大规模接种后便利跨境人员往来所做的有益探索和尝试。去年中方就已经倡议各国探讨建立健康码国际互认机制。我们愿意在充分照顾彼此关切和友好协商的基础上，与各方达成互利互惠安排，构建顺畅、健康、安全、有序的跨境人员往来新秩序。

With a view to resuming international travel in an orderly fashion, China has started to provide visa facilitation to incoming foreigners who have received Chinese vaccines and hold a vaccination certificate. This is a meaningful exploration of facilitating international travel once mass vaccination has been achieved on the basis of giving full consideration to safety and efficacy. Last year, China proposed that discussions be held on launching a mechanism for global recognition of health codes. On the basis of accommodating each other's concerns and friendly consultations, we stand ready to make mutually-beneficial arrangements with other sides to establish a new format for unhindered, healthy, safe and orderly cross-border travel.

这个问题需要由专家来回答。中方愿意在充分照顾彼此关切和友好协商的基础上，与各国探讨建立灵活多样的互惠机制。在互认内容和互惠措施上，中方持开放立场，将根据专家论证的意见做出妥善安排。

I'll leave that to the experts. On the basis of accommodating each other's concerns and friendly consultations, we stand ready to explore launching with other countries flexible and diverse mutually-beneficial arrangements. With regard to mutual recognition and reciprocal measures, we hold an open attitude. We will make proper arrangement on the recommendations of experts.

事实上，中方正在跟有关国家探讨就各自相关人员接种新冠疫苗作出对等安排。只要有利于疫情防控，有利于便利人员往来，我们都持开放积极态度。

In fact, China has been in close communication with other countries to discuss reciprocal arrangement for vaccination. As long as a measure helps to prevent and control the epidemic and facilitate people-to-people exchanges, we are open to it.

中方敦促有关方面认识到错误的严重性，反躬自省，纠正错误，不要再以人权教师爷自居，不要再玩弄虚伪的双重标准，不要再四处干涉别国内政，不要再在错误的道路上越走越远。事实已经非常清楚，这绝不是什么人权问题，其真实目的就是不想让中国人民过上好日子，不想让中国人民享有安全、稳定、发展和繁荣。他们就是要制造所谓的“新疆问题”来遏制中国的发展，破坏中国的安全稳定。这样的想法只能是痴心妄想。希望他们能够尽早认识到这个问题，不要在错误的道路上越走越远，不然他们会在历史上留下非常可耻的一笔。

China urges relevant parties to reflect on themselves, face squarely the severity of their mistake and redress them. They must stop lecturing others on human rights and interfering in their internal affairs. They must end the hypocritical practice of double standards and stop going further down the wrong path. The fact is very clear. This is by no means a human rights issue. Their real purpose is to stop the Chinese people from living a good life and enjoying security, stability, development and prosperity. They want to create the so-called "Xinjiang issue" to contain China's development and undermine China's security and stability. Such an idea is nothing but wishful thinking. I hope they can realize this fact as soon as possible and don't go further down the wrong path, otherwise they will leave a very shameful mark in history.

中方希望同所有国家都本着平等和相互尊重精神发展健康稳定的关系，开展互利共赢的合作。我们的合作前景应该是光明美好的，但千万不要低估中方维护自身主权、安全、发展利益的坚定决心和意志。今天的中国绝不是120年前的中国，美西方几个国家以为通过谣言、谎言、造谣、诋毁、攻击、围堵就能迫使中国屈服，妥协投降，这样的日子一去不复返了！想要卡住中国的脖子，他们可能还没有这个能力，最终会得不偿失，为自己的愚蠢和傲慢付出沉重的代价。中方维护国家主权和民族尊严的决心坚定不移，对那些执迷不悟肆意干涉中国内政，损害中国利益的国家，中方将做出正当、正义的反应。

China hopes to develop sound and steady relations and carry out mutually beneficial cooperation with all countries in the spirit of equality and mutual respect. The future of our cooperation should be bright, but no one shall underestimate China's firm determination and will to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests. Today's China is by no means what it was 120 years ago. Gone are the days when the US and Western countries thought they could force China to yield, compromise and surrender through rumors, lies, slander, attack and containment.They may not have the ability to choke China and will eventually pay a heavy price for their foolishness and arrogance. We hope they can wake up and redress their mistakes at an early date. China is firmly resolved in safeguarding national sovereignty and dignity. We will make just and justified reactions to those who are bent on interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining China's interest.

相信你在中国也能体会到这一点，你在武汉、北京采访街上的老百姓，他们对你都非常友善，对不对？我认为人民之间始终是互怀友好感情的，中国人民从来都是善良的、开放的。我们欢迎所有外国朋友跟中国人交朋友，但我们会坚决拒绝和反对任何针对中国的无端指责、诋毁、攻击，坚决回击任何损害中国主权和利益、荣誉和尊严的言行。

I'm sure you can get what I said, because when you interview people on the street in Wuhan and Beijing, they are very friendly to you, right? I believe that people always have friendly feelings toward each other, and the Chinese people have always been kind and open. We welcome all foreign friends to make friends with Chinese people, but we will firmly reject and oppose any groundless accusations, slanders or attacks against China, and resolutely fight back against any words or deeds that undermine China's sovereignty, interests, honor and dignity.
