We need to be prepared for the next pandemic; we were not prepared for covid-19; so we need to do better and we need to be committed to make sure all tools get out to everyone in the world. China's expertise and resources and Manufacturing capacities will help us meet those needs.

 

比爾·蓋茨:中國在應對大流行病等全球複雜挑戰中發揮重要作用

【環球時報-環球網報道 記者 趙覺珵】比爾·蓋茨26日在2023中關村論壇期間發表視頻演講表示,中國已經在應對一些全球複雜挑戰中發揮重要作用,比如大流行病和全球糧食安全問題。“中國擁有令人矚目的經驗與專長,一直致力於對科技創新的投入,中國將能夠通過分享其科技成果與成功經驗為世界做出獨特貢獻。”

本月5日,世界衛生組織宣布,新冠不再構成“國際關注的突發公共衛生事件”。該組織當時發布的數據顯示,過去3年多時間裏,全球累計報告確診病例逾7.6億,死亡病例超過690萬。

比爾·蓋茨在演講中表示,除導致大量死亡外,新冠還帶來嚴重的次生災害。首先,全球經濟遭到重創,預計到2024年,新冠疫情造成的經濟損失將超過14萬億美元。其次,新冠疫情與氣候變化及地區衝突的疊加衝擊,導致全球麵臨糧食危機的人數翻了一番。

“我們需要為下一次大流行病做好準備。”比爾·蓋茨說,麵對新冠,我們毫無準備,我們需要在疫情監測方麵做得更好,在下次疫情在全球蔓延之前就做出有效應對。我們需要加快診斷以及藥物和疫苗的研發生產。我們還需要致力於讓這些工具惠及世界上每個人。中國的相關專長、資源和生產能力將有助於我們實現目標。

他還提到,另一個中國將能夠發揮重要作用的領域是全球糧食安全。新冠疫情仍在持續衝擊全球糧食供應鏈,地區衝突讓全球糧食市場陷入混亂,而氣候變化給農業生產造成壓力,饑餓的威脅迅速加劇。“中國在二十國集團(G20)外長會議上提出國際糧食安全合作倡議,在推動全球應對危機的道路上邁出了重要一步。”

根據中國外交部此前發布的消息,在去年7月於巴厘島舉行的G20外長會上,時任國務委員兼外長王毅就糧食和能源安全問題闡明中方立場並代表中方提出國際糧食安全合作倡議。

“危機不分國界”,比爾·蓋茨呼籲,我們必須致力於跨界合作,攜手應對。“盡管麵臨重重挑戰,我依然樂觀,我相信未來一切都會好起來……我有信心我們將在多重挑戰下重整旗鼓,在下一次全球大流行給世界造成悲劇之前防患於未然。”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates called for greater cooperation among humanity to address global challenges, while highlighting that China will be able to make unique contributions by sharing its technologies and its lessons.

Gates said in a speech via video link at a meeting of the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum on Friday that although human society has dealt with issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, regional conflicts and other challenges, he remains optimistic about the future and believes that humanity will once again be on the right track.

China has an incredible mix of expertise and experience, as well as investment in scientific and technological innovation, Gates said, adding that, "China will be able to make unique contributions to sharing its technologies and its lessons."

According to Gates, who is also the co-chair and trustee of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, China is already playing an important role in addressing a string of challenges.

Gates said with innovative cooperation, it is possible to help more people lift themselves out of poverty and lead a better life in the future. Gates also stated there is a need to prepare in case of future pandemics, and the world can respond more effectively by integrating drug and vaccine research and development methods.

China's relevant resources and production capacity will help achieve such goals, Gates added.
