中疾控表示，今年春天美国的HMPV感染率激增，但自4月下旬开始，由于夏季气候条件不适宜病毒传播，HMPV感染率持续快速下降。中疾控对2009至2019年呼吸道传染病监测数据分析表明，在引起急性呼吸道感染的8种病毒中，人偏肺病毒排名第8位，阳性率占比为4%，远低于流感病毒的28.5%。

3.CHINA SLAMS JAPAN'S NUCLEARWASTEWATER DISCHARGE TESTS

外交部：敦促日方停止强行推进核污染水排海计划

After Tokyo Electric Power Company, operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, began tests of their nuclear wastewater discharging system. One Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson condemned the act. Sun Siqi has the story.

昨天（06/12）起，日本东京电力公司开始试运行福岛核污染水的排海设施。中国外交部发言人汪文斌今天（06/13）指责日方。记者孙思琪带来详细报道。

Tokyo Electric Power Company started a trial operation yesterday, which is expected to last two weeks. The Japanese government has argued that the purified "treated water" is no different than normal discharge water from a nuclear power plant.

东京电力公司昨天开始试运行岛核污染水排海设施，预计将持续两个星期。日本政府辩称，净化后的“处理水”与核电站的正常排放水没有区别。

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said today that Japan has yet to prove that discharging the wastewater into the ocean is safe. He added that data released by Japan have shown close to 70 percent of the treated nuclear wastewater failed to meet regulatory standards.

中国外交部发言人汪文斌今天表示，日本迄今未能证明核污染水排海安全无害。他指出日方自己公布的数据显示，近70%处理后的核污染水仍不达标。

Wang said Japan coined the term "treated" to whitewash the potential risks of such discharge.
日本创造了“处理”的概念，以掩盖核污染水排海的潜在风险。

The spokesperson said the effectiveness and maturity of Japan's purification facilities have not been assessed and certified by a third party. The discharge can last 30 years or longer, with more new wastewater being generated along the way.

汪文斌表示，日方有关净化装置的有效性和成熟度没有经过第三方的评价和认证。日方排海将持续30年甚至更久，这期间还将新产生大量的核污染水。

“日方不能将国际原子能机构技术工作组最终评估报告当做排海的‘护身符’和‘通行证’。事实上，日方同机构确定的工作组授权有限，没有评估排海以外的其他处置方案。无论出台什么样的最终报告都不能成为日方向海洋排放核污染水的借口。”

“The Japan side cannot take the final assessment report by the IAEA as a safety pass for nuclear wastewater discharge. In fact, the panel had limited authorization, and was not able to assess any alternative wastewater disposal solutions. No report of any kind should be used as excuse for Japan to dump nuclear wastewater into the sea.”

Wang added that China strongly urges Japan to stop pushing forward with the discharge, and to adequately assess the alternative solutions for the wastewater's disposal. He said Japan should dispose of the wastewater in a safe and transparent manner, and accept supervision from the international community.

汪文斌表示，中方强烈敦促日方停止强行推进排海计划，充分研究论证排海以外的处置方案，切实以安全、透明的方式处置核污染水，并接受严格国际监督。
