Since the outbreak of the new crown virus virus, some US politicians have repeatedly issued statements that discredited China, used the words "Chinese virus", "Wuhan pneumonia", and "the virus is China's biochemical weapon."
China ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs this month rejected the move as “stigmatizing China”. A day later, WHO officials stated that "anyone will regret linking the virus to race." In the United States, many people of insight have also unanimously criticized some American politicians for spreading racial discrimination in order to shirk their responsibility for poor response to the epidemic.
The original source of the virus that ravaged the world is currently inconclusive. As for how the virus should be named, the universal international principle is there, that is, it should not be named by region, individual or group, to avoid discrimination and accusation to the greatest extent. Moreover, the official name issued by WHO has been recognized by the international community including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Obviously, these stigmatized Chinese expressions have nothing to do with public health, but rather hidden "scrubbles". Some US politicians have tried to politicize the epidemic by labeling the virus "China". China is the country with the earliest outbreak. It also happens to be a "strategic competitor" in the eyes of these people. It is extremely confusing to talk about China.
Why do these politicians ignore the public opinion of WHO, the justice of the international community, and the justice of fighting the epidemic? Obviously, they lack the sympathy for the innocent death of the infectious life caused by the epidemic, and the lack of human empathy for the hunger, drowning, life and death in the face of the epidemic. ".
Investigating its roots, ideological prejudice, the dualistic Cold War mentality, and the superiority of the "American exceptionalism" constitute the nucleic acid of this "political virus". And this kind of "virus" from its heart is very toxic. Once the recruiter will cause the infected person to misbehave, paranoid cognition, including the new crown epidemic that has nothing to do with politics.
This "political virus" is very stubborn. Once it takes root in some people's hearts, it will also produce the so-called "political correctness" of drug resistance. As a result, infected people will gradually lose the course of fighting the epidemic with countries around the world and deviate. The beacon of the community of human destiny has drifted away on the wrong course of "hardening against China is justice." The basic fact that "the new crown virus is the enemy of all mankind" has been repeatedly ignored.
As everyone knows, the world has long been flat, and the era of globalized global villages can be described as "one glory and one glory, one loss and one loss." As US politicians "stigmatize China", the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has quietly exceeded 9,000, and all 50 states have been "occupied." The US stock market "few Thursdays" is rare, and the recession has taken shape.
If some U.S. politicians continue to let the "political virus" spread, it will not only help their domestic anti-epidemic situation, but will also lead to the consequences of influencing anti-epidemic fighters and exacerbating social tears. Opportunities to join forces to fight the epidemic. And its sewage splashed into China will eventually splash itself.
Heart disease also needs heart medicine. To solve the "political virus", some politicians in the United States must start with the "heart" and navigate with the correct navigation marks in order to get rid of the demon. The top priority is to stop stigmatizing China and work hand in hand with China to play its due role in the global war epidemic and maintaining global public health security. (Finish)
