美国为什么一直针对中国？英国学者这篇演讲分析得太透彻！(13)

西方国家在疫情中对待中国的态度极不光彩
西方国家对待中国最不光彩的、最令人沮丧的一幕，发生在本次全球新冠疫情中。
and i think one of the most depressing, in fact, one of the most disgraceful episodes in western attitudes towards china was to do with the pandemic – covid-19.
一月，中国正在努力弄清楚这次疫情是什么，确定病毒、研究应对方法。而西方，尤其是美国但不只美国，我自己的国家英国也有参与，无情地攻击中国，说中国掩盖秘密、不告诉我们真相、掩盖存活率、比起人民的生命，政府和政党更重要等等，诸如此类的。
in january, china was struggling to understand to identify it and to work out how to deal with it. and the west, particularly the americans, but not only the americans, my own country britain for sure, attacked, relentlessly attacked china, you know, cover up your secrecy. you"re not telling us the truth. you"re covering up the survival. the government matters, the party matters more than the survival of people.

而这时中国正与巨大的困难抗争。要知道，中国是第一个遭受疫情的国家。而现在，你能看到，中国面对新冠疫情的表现从一月末起就非常优秀。
this is a situation where china was struggling in great, great difficulty. remember, china was the first to tackle the question of covid-19. now and you can see that actually, china"s performance on covid-19, certainly from late january, was brilliant.
