新冠病毒早被世卫组织命名为“COVID-19”，意为2019年发现的冠状病毒。但美国总统却将科学问题政治化，亲手将其改名为“中国病毒”，并在多个场合进行抹黑攻击。与此同时，佛罗里达州棕榈滩县的一家律师事务所，还就疫情向中国官方提起集体诉讼，要求赔偿数十亿美元。正所谓“以彼之道，还施彼身”。近日，北京市某律师事务所针对“中国病毒”一事向美国总统特朗普发去律师函，要求其停止污名化，并向14亿中国人道歉。据悉，此律师函昨天已发送至白宫并快递给美国驻华大使馆。

律师函

致：特朗普先生

白宫，美利坚合众国

本律师所注意到，3月16日您在推特上发文将正在全球漫延的新冠病毒称为“中国病毒”，3月19日又在白宫举办的新闻发布会重复了这一错误称谓。作为中国公民和中国执业律师，我们就总统先生的极端错误言论郑重致函如下：

2020年2月11日，世界卫生组织已经郑重宣布将新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎正式命名为“COVID-19”，明确表示反对将病毒同特定的国家和地区相联系，更反对搞污名化。世界卫生组织是联合国的专门机构，作为全世界权威公共卫生机构命名的“COVID-19”，必须得到包括美国在内的各成员国的遵守。

新冠病毒起源于哪里是一个非常严谨和严肃的科学和技术性问题，需要由科学家通过溯源来确定。在新冠病毒源头目前尚无定论的前提下，总统先生公然多次将新冠病毒称为“中国病毒“，对中国搞污名化，中国人民对此表示强烈愤慨和坚决反对。

总统先生对新冠病毒的错误称呼已经在国际社会上造成了严重的不良后果，涉嫌种族主义歧视，已经导致在美国和其他国家的华人华侨甚至亚裔，遭受到了不公平的对待，甚至遭到被歧视和攻击。

从今年元月至今，经过中国政府和全国人民的共同努力和巨大付出，新冠肺炎的扩散在中国已经得到有效控制，给全球人民彻底战胜病毒树立了信心和榜样。而您将新冠病毒称为“中国病毒”的错误言论严重侵害了中国人的名誉权。鉴于上述事实，依据《中华人民共和国民法总则》第一百一十条、第一百七十九条之规定，本律师所对您正式提出如下要求：

1. 请您纠正错误言论，立即停止使用 “中国病毒”这一对中国污名化的称呼；

2. 立即就您错误的言论向14亿中国人赔礼道歉；

3. 立即消除由于您的错误言论而导致美国华人华侨所遭受的歧视和攻击。

我们保留依法在法院提起诉讼的权利，以维护作为中国公民的合法权益和尊严！

特此函告！

To:President DonaldTrump

White House, the United States of America

Date: March 23, 2020

Letter of Attorney

Our law firm (Beijing Gaotong Law Firm) noticed that on March 16th, you tweeted that the novel coronavirus spreading around the world is "Chinese virus", and repeated this incorrect title at the press conference held at the White House on March 19th. As Chinese citizens and practicing lawyers in China, we solemnly send a letter to you, President of USA regarding the extremely wrong words.

On February 11, 2020, the World Health Organization has announced that the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia was officially named "COVID-19", expressing its opposition to associating the virus with specific countries and regions, races and even against stigma. As WHO is the specialized agency of the United Nations and the authoritative public health agency worldwide, "COVID-19" named by it must be observed by all member states, including the USA.

The origin of the novel coronavirus is a very serious scientific and technical problem, which needs to be identified by scientists through traceability. On the premise that the origin of the novel coronavirus has not been determined although it was first discovered in Wuhan, China, Mr. President has publicly referred to it as "Chinese virus" on many occasions, which in fact stigmatizes China. The Chinese people have expressed strong indignation and firm opposition against it. Mr. President s wrong designation of the novel coronavirus has already caused serious adverse consequences in the international community. Alleged racial discrimination has led to unfair treatment and even discrimination and attacks against overseas Chinese or even Asian Americans in the United States and other countries.

Since January this year, thanks to the joint efforts and great sacrifice of the Chinese government and people all over the country, the spread of COVID-19 has been effectively controlled in China, which has strengthened confidence and set a good example for the global community to completely overcome the virus. Your wrong statement has seriously infringed upon the right of reputation of the Chinese people.

In view of the above facts, and in accordance with the provisions of Articles 110 and Article 179 of the General Provisions of the Civil Law of the People s Republic of China, our law firm hereby formally requests you to: (1) Please correct your erroneous remarks and immediately stop using the term "Chinese virus"; (2) Immediately apologize to 1.4 billion Chinese people for your wrong remarks; (3) Immediately eliminate discrimination and attacks against overseas Chinese in the United States caused by your erroneous remarks. Otherwise, we reserve the right to file a lawsuit in the court according to law, so as to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests and dignity of Chinese citizens.

Hereby inform you by this letter of attorney!
