2019 新型冠状病毒病的快速传播成为了 2020 年备受瞩目的焦点。中国身为出 现第一例确诊病例的国家遭受许多的评论，包括批评中国遏制疫情的能力。在海外 也不难发现海外华族遭受非议的痕迹。实际上，在过去几千年，华族和中国也曾遭 受“黄祸论”以及“中国威胁论”的缠绕，认为中国是个祸害，并且将会危害到世 界秩序。因此，关键在于 2019 新型冠状病毒病对于中国的言辞与思想是否遗留着“黄 祸论”与“中国威胁论”的踪迹。本文将通过考察世界卫生组织、美国、中国与新 加坡各界领导的言辞以及官方报章以探讨他们对疫情的看法。此外，本文也将分析 各群体的表现是否环绕着“黄祸论”以及“中国威胁论”的思想。 The rapid outbreak of the COVID-19 disease has become the focus of attention in 2020. As the country with the first confirmed case, China has received many criticisms regarding their ability to contain the pandemic. It is also not difficult to find traces of criticism of the Chinese living overseas. In fact, when we look at their history, it is not new for China to experiences such criticisms. China and her people have also suffered from the "Yellow Peril Theory" and "China Threat Theory", which negatively portrayed China as a scourge endangering the operations of the world order. Therefore, the key lies in whether traces of the "Yellow Peril Theory" and the "China Threat Theory" can be found in the thoughts towards China during the pandemic. This paper will examine the speeches from leaders of the World Health Organization, the United States, China and Singapore, and their official press releases and news articles that discuss their views on the pandemic. Thereafter, the paper will analyse whether their speeches contain sentiments which are influenced by the "Yellow Peril Theory" and the "China Threat Theory".
