全国人大常委会近日表决通过了生物安全法。生物安全法明确，生物安全是国家安全的重要组成部分，维护生物安全应当贯彻总体国家安全观。

Lawmakers approved the Biosecurity Law at a regular legislative session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. The law stipulates that biosecurity is a key component of national security and a holistic approach to national security should be adopted in safeguarding biosecurity.

我们要加快补齐治理体系的短板弱项，要构筑强大的公共卫生体系，提升国家生物安全防御能力。

We should fix weak links in the governance system, and a strong public health system must be built and biosecurity defense capabilities must be enhanced.
