今天，澳大利亚中国工商业委员会（简称ACBC）在《澳大利亚报（The Australian）》上发起了一场全国宣传活动，以表达在冠状病毒引起的全球人道主义危机中对中国的支持。该活动得到了澳大利亚各地企业和政府组织的支持。

“澳中两国在新的一年都经历了艰难的开始。澳大利亚和中国的企业为两国提供捐款和支持的数量如此之多，使我们深受震撼。这很好地证明了我们两国之间的牢固联系。” ACBC国家首席执行官Helen Sawczak说道。

Today ACBC launches a national campaign in The Australian newspaper to show our support for China during the global humanitarian crisis caused by the coronavirus. The campaign has been supported by business and government groups across Australia. 

“Australia and China have both experienced a tragic start to the new year. We have been overwhelmed by the amount of Australian and Chinese companies offering donations and support to both countries. It’s a great testimony to the strong bonds between our two countries.” said ACBC National CEO, Helen Sawczak.

“In the immediate aftermath of the coronavirus, we have worked closely with our members and stakeholders by providing information and support, and we have also been guiding people how to donate towards relief efforts. But we also wanted to send a strong message of support to our Chinese friends, that we stand with them during this crisis – that’s what friends do.”

The campaign, designed by R-Co Brand, will be featured as a full page in The Australian on 28 February and will be projected at Australian landmarks such as Federation Square and Melbourne Airport and posted on Australian and Chinese social media platforms.

“The next step will be to restore business confidence when this crisis passes. The economic impact of the virus will be profound, but the strength of the Australia China relationship and our strong people to people ties will ensure that we can return to business as usual, quickly.” Ms Sawczak said.
