Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin's Regular Press Conference on August 23, 2021 [4]
至于你提到的抗议示威活动，你说的情况与事实不符。
As for the protests you mentioned, what you said is not in line with facts.
澎湃新闻记者近日，美国北卡罗来纳大学生物实验室和该校素有“冠状病毒猎手”之称的巴里克教授持续引发媒体关注，特别是巴里克在人工合成冠状病毒方面的高超技术、北卡大学生物实验室糟糕的安全记录，以及巴里克同德特里克堡非同寻常的合作关系。中方对此有何评论？
The Paper Lately there has been much attention onthe University of North Carolina's biological laboratory and Professor Ralph Baric, known as the "Coronavirus Hunter", especiallyBaric's advanced technique in artificial synthesis of coronaviruses, the UNC lab's poor safety records and the unusual cooperative relations between Baric and Fort Detrick. Does China have any comment on this?
汪文斌一段时间以来，美方无视中国—世卫组织联合研究报告关于病毒从实验室泄漏是极不可能的结论，执意炒作所谓“武汉病毒研究所实验室泄漏论”，甚至为此不惜动用情报机构炮制所谓溯源调查报告。但是抹黑中国洗刷不了美国自己。美方一再声称新冠病毒是从实验室泄漏出去的，但事实上，最应当受调查的正是美国自己。
Wang Wenbin For quite some time, the US has been persistently hyping up the so-called "Wuhan Institute of Virology lab leak theory" in disregard of the conclusion in the WHO-China study report that "a laboratory origin of the pandemic was considered to be extremely unlikely". It has gone so far as to ask the intelligence community to fabricate a so-called report on origins investigation. However, the US cannot whitewash itself by smearing China. The US keeps alleging that the virus came from a lab leak, but actually, no one merits a proper investigation more than the US.
首先，美国是重组病毒研究开展得最早、能力最强的国家，也是全球冠状病毒研究的最大资助者和实施方。据报道，巴里克教授早在1990年就开始了重组冠状病毒的研究，其团队早就具备极其成熟的冠状病毒合成及改造能力。巴里克本人曾在去年9月接受意大利国家电视台采访时称，他可以做到“人为改造病毒却不留痕迹”。事实上，只要调查巴里克团队及其实验室，就可以澄清对冠状病毒的研究有没有、会不会产生新冠病毒。
First, the US was the first to start research in recombinant virus and possesses unrivalled strength in this area. It has also funded and conducted more research in coronaviruses than any other country. According to reports, Professor Baric started researching recombinant coronaviruses back in 1990. His team has long acquired and honed the capability to recombine and modify coronaviruses. Baric said in an interview with Italian media outlet PresaDiretta in September 2020 that "it is possible to engineer a virus without leaving a trace". Therefore, an investigation into Baric's team and lab is all it takes to clarify whether coronavirus research can create or has created novel coronavirus.
第二，美国也是生物实验室安全记录最糟糕的国家。2015年1月到2020年6月，北卡大学共向美国国立卫生研究院报告28起涉及基因工程微生物的安全事故，其中6起涉及包括SARS、MERS和新冠病毒在内的冠状病毒，且许多病毒经过了基因改造，共8名研究人员可能被感染。除了2020年4月1名研究人员因被感染新冠病毒的小鼠咬伤隔离14天之外，其他所有面临病毒感染风险人员均正常工作生活，且有关事故报告还特意删除了基因编辑情况、事故处理过程等关键细节。
Second, the US also has the world's worst bio-lab safety records. From January 2015 to June 2020, the UNC reported 28 lab incidents involving genetically engineered organisms to the NIH. Six of these incidents involved coronaviruses including SARS, MERS and novel coronavirus, many of which had undergone genetic engineering. Altogether 8 researchers may have got infected. A scientist underwent 14 days of self-quarantine at home after a mouse bite caused potential exposure to a strain of SARS-CoV-2 in April 2020. Other than that, all staff who were faced with potential infection went on with their work and life as usual. Besides, key details like the nature of the genetic modifications and how the incidents were handled were deliberately removed from the incident reports.
巴里克和美国德特里克堡生物基地从事高危病毒和冠状病毒研究的两家研究机构，也就是“美国陆军传染病医学研究所”和“综合研究设施”都有密切合作关系。巴里克丰富的冠状病毒资源和改造技术也通过上述合作被广泛运用在德堡。而德堡的“美国陆军传染病医学研究所”就曾在2019年秋季新冠肺炎疫情暴发前发生过严重安全事故，一度被美国疾控中心叫停。
Baric has close collaboration with the two institutes that engage in research involving high-risk viruses and coronaviruses at Fort Detrick, the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), and the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick (IRF-Frederick). His rich coronavirus resources and modification technique have been widely used at Fort Detrick through such cooperation. However, in the fall of 2019 before the outbreak of COVID-19, Fort Detrick-based USAMRIID's research was temporarily shut down after a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigation found serious safety incidents there.
美国处心积虑试图证明武汉病毒研究所泄漏了新冠病毒，但是世卫专家已经两次到访了武汉病毒研究所，得出病毒自武汉实验室泄漏极不可能的结论。请问，美国什么时候邀请世卫专家到北卡大学生物实验室和德堡“美国陆军传染病医学研究所”去进行调查呢？我们奉劝美方，不要再往别人身上泼脏水，先把自家实验室的情况调查清楚再说。
The US has been going to great lengths to try to prove that the novel coronavirus was leaked from the WIV. However, WHO experts have paid two visits there and concluded that a lab leak from a Wuhan lab is extremely unlikely. I wonder when the US plans to invite WHO experts to investigate the UNC bio-lab and USAMRIID? We suggest that the US stop slinging mud at others and instead find out what happened in its own labs first.
