China News Agency, Toronto, February 23 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) The "war" of China's fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic has caused concern and anxiety to the overseas Chinese in Canada. In addition to continuing to support the epidemic prevention through donations and materials, many people from the overseas Chinese community also gave advice to the ancestral (national), hometown, and Chinese communities living in the country in an interview with reporters from China News Agency.

Data map: On February 15, local time, a group of medical protective materials such as protective clothing and goggles donated by the Fudan University Toronto Alumni Association and the local Chinese in Toronto donated the procedures at the Toronto International Airport and will be sent to Wuhan, Shanghai, etc Ground. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, overseas Chinese in Canada continue to actively support the motherland (home) and hometown to fight the epidemic through various channels, including donations and supplies. Airlines have opened green transportation channels for these relief supplies. Photo by Yu Ruidong of China News Agency

Zhu Jiang, Executive Chairman of the Federation of Canadian Chinese Associations:

The epidemic is endless and assistance continues. Each of us goes to great lengths to help our hometown, and we all take it as our duty. Sometimes people say that "home ugliness cannot be advertised." In the face of an epidemic, this is not the case. Early disclosure of relevant information to the media and the public can prevent further spread of the immune system. At the same time, a very systematic medical mechanism needs to be established.

Ye Jun, President of Fudan University Toronto Alumni Association:

We hope to speed up the recovery of medical supplies, establish official procurement channels, and improve the efficiency of distribution of these supplies to hospitals. It is believed that after this campaign, China's emergency handling capacity and speed can be further improved.

The money of most overseas donors is also hard-earned. Don't let lazy politics, corruption, and inaction become the "enemy" of donations overseas. At the same time, it is necessary to curb the sale of counterfeit and shoddy medical articles or take the opportunity to drive up prices and make "national difficulties".

Ma Junqiang, President of the Edmonton-China Friendship Association:

It is hoped that the situation of epidemic prevention and control will continue to be announced in a timely manner so that the whole world can see the efforts and actions of the Chinese government and people. I also hope that the Chinese Red Cross, the Charity Federation and other organizations can timely and effectively allocate donations from overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, and give feedback on the implementation of each donation.

Shan Jie, a pharmacologist and chief genetic medicine scientist at the Canada University Health Center:

Panic can sometimes cause greater and unnecessary harm. Hometown elders and overseas compatriots must fight the epidemic rationally. In the face of new viruses, there are no specific medicines or vaccines for the time being. The most important thing is that everyone strengthens their immunity. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene, protect yourself and your family.

The epidemic will definitely have an impact on the economy, but don't forget that the people in the epidemic area will have great psychological pain. I hope everyone must be aware of this and attach great importance to psychological counseling and other work.

Weng Guoning, Chairman of Toronto Chinese Association:

In the face of great difficulties, the unity and solidarity of our Chinese nation are even more evident. In response to the epidemic, from top to bottom in China, as well as overseas Chinese communities, they have demonstrated strong organizational and response capabilities. Many moving stories have emerged on the front lines of the epidemic. While strictly implementing epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic measures in various practical operations, it is also necessary to avoid the emotional pressure caused by panic. I hope that the news media will give more practical guidance and comfort to ordinary people in their reports.

In some places, frequent and large-scale spray disinfection is carried out. It is recommended to pay attention to the secondary pollution caused by disinfectants.

Wang Dianqi, President of the Canada-China (Friendly) Peaceful Reunification Association:

It is hoped that the provinces and cities with conditions can mobilize resources in an orderly manner and coordinate the collection of materials to help various enterprises to gradually resume production and operations and try to make up for losses.

Many overseas Chinese students have insufficient awareness of epidemic prevention, and dismiss the potential risk of virus transmission. Overseas Chinese immigrant societies should pay attention to it as soon as possible. At the same time, we may also extend our care to the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan immigrant communities and other ethnic communities by giving personal hygiene protection products and publicizing epidemic knowledge.

Xue Xiaomei, President of Canadian Sichuan Association of Township:

It is recommended to strengthen the collection, collation and analysis of big data in various aspects. In the future, if similar emergency needs arise, the fastest response can be made.

Zhang Jie, Chairman of the Canada-China Business Innovation Alliance:

It is hoped that under the premise of controlling the epidemic, the hometown will resume production and work according to the actual situation. Looking forward to the coming of spring, we will work together to promote China-Canada economic, trade, and scientific and technological cooperation. (Finish)
