Over 3,000 lives lost in China and almost 60,000 in the world in the fight against COVID-19, our common enemy. As we grieve our losses, we never forget that the battle still goes on, and we will fight on. But we never doubt that victory will be ours, and the future will be ours.
China holds a national mourning on Saturday for those who died in the combat against COVID-19. Our deepest condolences to those who laid down their lives for the fight and all the victims of the pandemic. Rest in peace!

中美没有、也不应该进入“新冷战”阶段，而是应该本着不冲突、不对抗、相互尊重、合作共赢的精神来处理双边关系。冷战思维不符合世界潮流。从长远来说，最后的结果是不符合或跟不上世界潮流的人或政策被世界潮流所淘汰，而不是世界潮流改变方向去适应它们。

WWII embroiled nearly two-thirds of the global population, and 70 million people lost their lives. China, a major frontline, played an important role in the war. Today it marks the 75th anniversary of the Victory over Japan Day.
