182:1 high vote! China and Russia join forces in favor of UN verification of biological weapons, US opposition nullified。
The last thing the U.S. government wants to see has happened. Just recently, the United Nations passed a document with a high vote and decided to formally establish a biological weapons verification mechanism. We don't need to say more about who it is aimed at. This time, only one country in the world voted against it, that is, the United States, and even its hardcore allies voted for it.
Up to now, it has been three years since the COVID-19 outbreak. In the past three years, the world economy has suffered heavy losses. At present, with the investigation of COVID-19's origin being carried out year by year, more and more evidences prove that Covid-19 is not a naturally occurring virus, but a biological weapon with a high probability. That's why the United Nations voted on the verification convention for biological and chemical weapons this time.
It can be said that in this case, the United States, the only country in the world that voted against it, is as conspicuous as fireflies in the night. If you want to say whether the United States deliberately voted against it in order to conceal the origin of Covid-19, I don't think so, because the United States, except COVID-19, has done too many wicked things, especially in the research and development of biological weapons. Japanese are not as wicked as Americans.
The most famous example is that after the end of World War II, in order to detect the country's biological and chemical weapons defense capabilities, decided to test the threat of biological and chemical weapons themselves. At the same time, in order to achieve the most realistic effect, the American experiments were conducted in real American cities and on thousands of ordinary Americans! They sent a cruise ship with the virus into San Francisco, and it took only one day to infect all the residents of the city. The reason

拜登政府对来自中国的旅客提出了入境前需做新冠病毒检测的新要求,有些中国人对此感到失望。也有些人对此表示蔑视,称其为西方遏制中国崛起的最新做法。但许多人对新规定完全不在乎。对许多中国人来说,美国要求他们必须出示新冠病毒阴性证明才能入境的规定是一个不相干的问题。中国目前正在努力应对一波严重疫情,新冠病毒感染者不计其数,医院和殡仪馆不堪重负。经济不景气让许多人的注意力集中在保住工作和支付房贷上。
对许多一直在考虑出国旅行的人来说,多做一次核酸检测并不是多大的不便。直到最近,核酸检测曾是当局强迫数千万中国公民几乎每天都做的事情。而且中国旅客知道,他们在亚洲以及更远的许多地方都将受到欢迎。
“只是出发前做个核酸,”现年33岁的李宽(音)说,他是中国南方城市广州一家科技初创公司的软件工程师。“我们过去三年像这样的检测做很多了。”
这条来自美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)的规定是周三宣布的,规定要求所有从中国乘飞机来美国的人必须提供新冠病毒阴性的证明,无论他们的国籍或疫苗接种情况如何。规定也适用于从香港和澳门来美国的旅客,以及所有来自中国在美国过境或通过第三国进入美国的人。
美国的规定将于明年1月5日生效,也就是中国取消对入境旅客实行了近三年的集中隔离做法的三天前。
世界各地的人对伴随着中国游客而来的本地商业和旅游业可能得到的益处感到兴奋。但一些人也对中国自今年12月初以来的感染病例激增表示担心。中国许多地方发生了针对“新冠清零”政策的抗议,让执政的中共面临威胁后,政府突然在12月初取消了这项政策。
美国官员担心新冠病毒将在中国迅速传播,从而导致新的变异株出现,传播到世界其他地方。

美国疾病控制与预防中心周三说,要求来自中国的旅客出示新冠病毒阴性证明是为了减缓病毒在美国的传播。CDC表示,随着新冠病毒的新变异株在世界各地出现,中国“减少”检测和通报病例,以及“最低限度”的共享流行病学数据的做法,可能会延误新变异株的鉴定。
意大利、韩国和日本最近已对来自中国的旅客实施了类似的旅行限制,印度现在要求对来自中国(包括香港)以及日本、韩国和泰国的旅客出示新冠病毒阴性的证明,并在机场对他们进行随机筛查。
中共主要宣传机构在周四似乎对来自美国的消息进行了淡化处理,它们通常会迅速批评任何对中国旅客采取限制做法的国家。许多中共官媒的网站对美国疾控中心的规定几乎只字不提。
一些网站反而强调了中国放松出入境限制在其他国家获得的积极反响。“中国新举措‘提升全球经济希望’,”中共报纸《环球时报》发表的一篇文章的标题写道。
中国人民大学国际关系学教授时殷弘说,中国官媒可能会对过多地报道美国的限制小心翼翼,因为担心这样做会引起人们对国内疫情的关注,激起公众的愤怒。
“这件事谈论多的话,言多必失,”他说。
从北京的角度来看,很难有理由要求美国不这样做。虽然政府取消了对入境者进行集中隔离的规定,但仍要求入境旅客持有出发前48小时内做的核酸阴性证明。
外交部发言人汪文斌在中国政府周四举行的例行记者会上没有直接提及拜登政府的规定。他重复了政府在过去一周里使用的说法。随着一些国家开始对中国旅客采取限制措施,他说,“各国防疫措施应当科学适度。”
但他也专门提到了歧视问题,称这些措施也应“对各国公民一视同仁”。
一些中国公民不把美国的核酸检测要求当回事。他们说,对在整个疫情期间已习惯了近乎常态的核酸检测的人来说,美国的要求只是一个小小的不便。
中国在疫情期间对国际旅客的检测要求与美国现在对来自中国的旅客的要求相比“复杂多了”,在南方大城市深圳的一家科技公司工作的29岁的王晓菲(音)说。
“是怎样就怎样,”她提到检测政策时说,并补充说,如果她有机会的话,她会去美国旅行。“配合就行。”
也有的人则不这么听之任之。
现年22岁的爱丽斯·苏(音)正在纽约市读大学。她说,她父母住在青岛,他们一直想在明年1月下旬的春节长假过后来美国看她。“现在他们不那么肯定了,”她说。“他们对美国的限制有点不满。”
苏女士说,她把CDC的规定看作是政治性,而不是科学的。“最终都是大国间的对抗,”她补充道。
几名流行病学家周四说,来自其他地方(包括中国香港)的证据表明,美国的新政策不会有多大效果。今年早些时候香港曾对入境旅客有各种各样的检测要求,但未能阻止输入病例的急剧上升。

香港大学全球卫生政策专家葛瑞苹(Karen Grépin)说,虽然CDC的新规定可能会阻止飞机上发生超级传播的情况,但不能阻止新变异株的传播,就像此前的国际旅行禁令对阻止奥密克戎变异株的传播几乎没有作用一样。
“我们作为国际社会的成员,现在真正应该做的是,如何想办法支持中国人民度过这个转变,而不是将他们拒之门外,”她说。
CDC的新规定是否会影响以及如何影响中美之间的微妙关系,周四尚不明确。拜登总统和中国强大的领导人习近平上个月在印度尼西亚会晤时,似乎急于软重启一直在走向对抗的关系。但由于在台湾的未来、技术限制和中国大规模拘禁少数民族公民等问题上存在分歧,中美关系仍处在多年来的最低点。
纽约外交关系委员会全球卫生高级研究员黄严忠对CDC规定的看法是,“流行病学上没有说服力,外交上也不合理。”
“全面重新放开应该得到鼓励,”他说,他指的是中国逐步取消核酸检测要求和入境限制的做法。“现在这样做给中国人的印象是,正在惩罚他们。”
黄严忠说,他对国际上对中国不愿与其他国家分享新冠病毒感染数据的批评表示理解。但他也担心,CDC的要求可能给认为美国正试图遏制中国崛起的中国民族主义者们提供口实。
这正是《环球时报》周四发表在其他版面上的文章的调子。
“这次新冠疫情,告诉中国必须认清一个基本事实,”上海复旦大学国际政治学教授沈逸在一篇专栏文章中写道。
“那就是中国的言行举止、各项政策,会面临美西方舆论和反华政客电子显微镜级别的审视,”他写道。“如果稍有瑕疵,就会被无限放大。”
