Zhong Sanping
As the number of people with new crown pneumonia infections continues to rise in many countries, the global war epidemic has entered a critical moment, and "a global game of chess and progress for all countries" has become an international consensus.
"Actively developing international cooperation in the fight against epidemics" and "maintaining regional and global public health security". This is the high frequency used by China ’s top leader Xi Jinping in the intensive "dialogue" with the world when he led China to fight the epidemic. Expression. These expressions are of unusual significance at this moment of global epidemic urgency.
Anti-epidemic international cooperation is an extremely ambitious concept in terms of the phrase itself. However, if we return to Xi Jinping ’s public statement and combine a series of China ’s “outward” actions, the meaning of “anti-epidemic international cooperation” —how to do it and why— -Clear and concrete, the ancient Chinese wisdom of "tool", "art", "law" and "dao" has become the best footnote.
On March 2, Shanghai donated 500,000 masks from Daegu and Gyeongbuk, South Korea, to Seoul.
At the "tool" level, China and the world have always exchanged materials in the course of the war. Pakistan took out a national inventory mask to China, and Mongolia donated 30,000 sheep to China ... Before China accepted the goodwill and help from the world, Xi Jinping thanked the relevant countries many times. With the escalation of overseas epidemics, Xi Jinping has increasingly mentioned "providing assistance to other countries and regions where the epidemic has spread."
After experiencing difficulties such as "mask shortages" and "inadequate supply of detection reagents" in the initial stages of prevention and control, China feels the same. It particularly understands the "first demand" of outbreak countries, especially those with unstable health systems. "Take me peaches and report them to Qiong Yao." In the recent past, China has been able to make emergency donations to Pakistan, Japan, South Korea, Iran, the AU and other countries and organizations. The Chinese government has also donated US $ 20 million to the World Health Organization to support WHO's international cooperation in combating the new crown pneumonia epidemic. It is the simplest step to launch international cooperation at a critical moment when countries share a common life, the exchange of materials, and the emotional distress they exhibit.

At the "technical" level, China has strengthened scientific research cooperation and data sharing with the world since the outbreak. The prevention and control of infectious diseases is a global problem that needs to be solved by integrating human wisdom. When talking about cooperation in anti-epidemic science and technology, Xi Jinping specifically pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen "scientific research cooperation with relevant countries, especially countries with high incidence of epidemic on traceability, drugs, vaccines, testing, etc., to share scientific research data and information, and to jointly study and propose coping strategies." .
Since the outbreak, China has timely notified the epidemic information, shared the entire genome sequence of some strains, carried out technical cooperation under the WHO framework, and shared the global epidemic prevention and control and diagnosis and treatment programs with multiple technical documents ... all reflecting a responsible country Due attitude. In the era of globalization, human destiny is closely linked. In the face of the epidemic, no country can survive on its own. Strengthening scientific research cooperation between countries, and scientists working together to combat the epidemic will not only accelerate the pace of human victory over the virus, but also help build a more open and transparent environment and eliminate the "information epidemic." The joint fight against the epidemic created a clear space for public opinion.
Due to the epidemic, the Italian government announced that all schools in the country will be closed from the 5th until mid-March. The picture shows the school in Turin has been closed.
At the "law" level, while preventing and controlling epidemics, China is also committed to working with countries around the world to build a global public health security prevention and control system. Xi Jinping mentioned in a "dialogue" with a number of foreign leaders that China "is responsible for the safety and physical health of its people and for its global public health." Observations suggest that this shows that China is not only concerned about joint efforts to resolve the immediate needs, but also is committed to promoting institutionalized cooperation and promoting the establishment of a global public health security prevention and control system.
For example, "Expecting the international community to strengthen coordination and work together to maintain human health and well-being" "Close communication with relevant countries, sharing experience in epidemic prevention, and coordinating prevention and control measures", which reflects Xi Jinping ’s expectation of countries to further improve the "tacit understanding" of policy coordination . Another example is to promote the establishment of "new contracts" between regions and even the global level. Xi Jinping pointed out: "Accelerate the implementation of the health and health actions in the" Eight Actions "of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, promote the construction of the African Centers for Disease Control and Strengthen China-Africa public health and disease prevention and control cooperation." China proposed the establishment of a China-ASEAN public health emergency liaison. Mechanism ... These well-established mechanisms will further support the big umbrella of global public health security for humanity.

"I have always said that human beings are a community of destiny. To overcome epidemics that are related to the safety of peoples of all countries, solidarity and cooperation are the most powerful weapon."-If the aforementioned three dimensions clarify "how to do things right", then Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized The "Community of Human Destiny" explained to the outside world "what is the right thing" from the height of "Tao". Observation emphasized that this is also the source of the previous WHO's motivation to evaluate Chinese leaders' "adequate leadership and political will" in the face of the epidemic.
Whether it is Western wisdom "no one is an island", the ancient Persian famous sentence "Adam is a brother and grandson, brothers are like brothers and sisters," or the ancient Chinese saying "mountains and mountains are alien, and the sun and the moon are the same", all highlight the help and fate of different civilizations. Consensus. According to the analysis, this is precisely the cognitive basis and action guidance of Xi Jinping's "public health security is a common challenge facing humankind and requires countries to work together".
