China News Service, April 11 (Xinhua) According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom, on April 9, the British "Economist" magazine published a letter to the British Embassy spokesman about China's anti-epidemic and China's resistance to Taiwan The erroneous remarks of the epidemic were refuted.

The full text is as follows:

Regarding a letter from Lin Yongle, a representative of the Taipei Representative Office in the UK, published on March 28 by The Economist, I would like to state that no one cares more about the health and well-being of Taiwan compatriots than the Chinese central government. After the outbreak in Wuhan, the National Health Commission promptly notified the Taiwan area of ​​the outbreak information. In mid-January, at the request of relevant departments in Taiwan, experts from Taiwan went to Wuhan to conduct a comprehensive field inspection and exchanged views with mainland experts involved in epidemic prevention and treatment and patient treatment. Medical experts from Taiwan expressed their sincere thanks for the reception from the mainland.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized UN agency composed of sovereign states. Taiwan ’s participation in WHO and other international organizations must make reasonable arrangements through consultations under the one-China principle. According to the arrangement reached between China and WHO, medical and health experts in Taiwan can participate in WHO-related technical meetings, and WHO experts can go to Taiwan to conduct investigations or provide assistance when necessary. These arrangements ensure that no matter the island or international public health emergencies occur, Taiwan can respond in a timely and effective manner.

Since the outbreak, China has kept an open, transparent and responsible attitude, timely informed the World Health Organization and the international community, shared information, and carried out international cooperation. China has taken swift and decisive measures to prevent and control the epidemic, and has made tremendous efforts to protect not only its own people but also the people of all countries in the world. These important facts and China's efforts and sacrifices need to be understood and appreciated by the world.
