China News Agency, Beijing, February 24th: Even if "the people are extremely stubborn," it is difficult to "cross the four countries"

In the severe moment of the global fight against the epidemic, some western politicians and media wore their commonly used colored glasses, deliberately misinterpreting and even maliciously slandering China. From blaming the Chinese for eating wild animals, attributing the virus to the Chinese, and now a variety of "conspiracy theories" have emerged, from the "viral synthesis theory" to the "artificial leak theory". Such rumors are very angry!
At the moment of the epidemic, even those politicians who secretly broadcast rumors have nothing to do with each other, but they have the intention of falling into trouble, which is very shameful. The Chinese classic "The Book of Songs · Xiaoya · Blue Flies" already had a sentence, "Yingying Flies, stop at the thorns. The people are trembling, the four countries are chaotic." .
Since the outbreak of the New Crown epidemic, phrases such as "Yellow Alert" and "Sick Man in East Asia" have gradually emerged and even appeared in a mainstream US media report. In addition, before the restaurant and library erected a sign with the Chinese "virus quarantine zone" on the street and "retreat from homes" to Chinese and even Asian passersby ... These distressed behaviors show that there are many People do have another "fear."
Human resistance to the epidemic has never stopped. Since the 21st century, from SARS and seasonal influenza to Middle East respiratory syndrome and Ebola, the prevention and control of epidemics has remained a worldwide problem. Right now, China is doing its utmost to stop the spread of the virus to other countries. Wuhan ’s closure of the city, military assistance, return to the wrong peak, and resumption of production and other measures are just a powerful way to fight the epidemic, and a game of the Chinese people, especially the people of Wuhan. Great sacrifice.
At the moment of the epidemic, the consciousness of the community of human destiny should have been further awakened. However, individual western politicians and the media have been “extremely indifferent”, subverting traditional values such as equality, fraternity, and tolerance, and even challenging the legal bottom line of international human rights in the era of globalization.
Fortunately, most international public opinion does not buy it. The German "Frankfurt Report" stated in an article, "Now it is not the struggle between China and the world, but the struggle between humans and coronaviruses"; Iran's "Tehran Times" also speaks for the Chinese: "China is taking all necessary measures to prevent the epidemic Spread, but the practice of some people applying salt to wounds during sensitive periods is unforgivable. "
Fortunately, prejudice and discrimination are no longer tolerated by mainstream society and modern civilization, and many people of national knowledge have condemned it. "The virus infects human beings regardless of skin color and nationality. Do not play by topic, let alone racial discrimination and xenophobia." Several world leaders including the United Nations Secretary-General Guterres have publicly called on Western society to abandon this "outbreak of discrimination."
Fortunately, people can also see that Cambodia extended humanitarian aid to the cruise ship Westerdam that drifted at sea; people can also see that during the just concluded China-ASEAN Special Foreign Ministers' Meeting on New Crown Pneumonia , The foreign ministers of various countries side by side, hand in hand, warming up for China and Wuhan ...
With the increasingly globalization of economic, technological, and social development, sudden public health events are no longer a problem in one city, one country, or one region, but a huge challenge that the world must face together. This should and has become the international community's consensus. In other words, even in this era of globalization, even if it is "extremely irritating", it is believed that it is difficult to "cross the four countries." (Finish)
