China News Agency reporter Yang Yan
With the global spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, international anti-epidemic cooperation continues. Song Jingwu, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, recently accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the China News Agency. .
In the early stage of the outbreak, China quickly identified the new crown virus and shared the genome sequence, and adopted strict prevention and control measures such as Wuhan's "closing the city" and community investigation to establish a square cabin hospital to avoid the spread of immune status. Song Jingwu pointed out that this reflects not only the Chinese government's high responsibility for the lives and health of its people, but also its strong support and important contribution to global disease prevention and control. To this end, China has made a huge sacrifice in time to prevent the virus from spreading to other countries in the world, and has also won the precious time of nearly two months for other countries in the world. China's effective methods for handling outbreaks and its experience in treating patients have provided useful reference for the international community.
"Support and assistance from all over the world is very important to China." Song Jingwu said that this demonstrated friendship and trust in China, affirmed China's efforts to fight the international epidemic, and it also demonstrated its belief that China can completely overcome the epidemic. "The friendship between the nations lies in the blindness of the people, and the blindness of the people lies in the exchange of hearts. The encouragement of people around the world has increased the confidence of the Chinese people in fighting the epidemic."
However, a small number of Western leaders, politicians, and some news media have politicized the epidemic and even denigrated the tremendous efforts and sacrifices that have discredited China. Song Jingwu said that these framed words were self-defeating in the face of facts. Now many western countries have begun to copy China's "capped cities" and other practices. Due to the earlier contempt and overconfidence, many countries have wasted precious time. The number of infected patients worldwide has increased exponentially, and the cost is extremely painful.
"Now, more and more people are realizing that the global international cooperation in epidemic resistance is the first condition to finally overcome this severe epidemic situation." Song Jingwu emphasized that the policies of various countries and regions must be closely coordinated and coordinated to work together Do not act alone. At present, there are still many unknowns for humans. Only global scientists and medical scientists can work together in close cooperation in detection, diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine development to better meet the common human challenges.
As the epidemic spread, the Chinese government has donated and aided many countries. Song Jingwu said that China has unreservedly introduced scientific data on virus structure, diagnosis and treatment experience, and symptoms of infected persons to experts and doctors of various countries, which reflects the responsibility of a major country and its determination to fight the epidemic.
Currently, Italy is facing a severe test of the epidemic. China has sent a number of medical expert groups to Italy, and made every effort to provide assistance in areas such as medical supplies, which has become an important practice in international anti-epidemic cooperation. Song Jingwu introduced that China's experience has brought many changes to Italy.
Under the guidance of the Chinese expert group, Italy comprehensively learned Chinese experience and conducted extensive investigations. For those who tested positive, immediately isolate their close contacts; medical staff strengthened self-protection to reduce the probability of infection; the public also paid more attention to it and generally wore it. Masks actively cooperate with epidemic prevention; bars, cafes, and restaurants on the street are closed. Song Jingwu said that the surge in the number of confirmed patients in Italy is now being contained, and more people are receiving effective treatment, hoping that they can control the epidemic as soon as possible.
Song Jingwu mentioned that an Italian friend told him that the Chinese had brought aid and materials, which made the people deeply warm and grateful. In addition, the local Chinese not only have a strong sense of protection, they are also donating to the local government. "Today, the people of China and Italy understand each other more deeply, and many Italian friends highly value the Chinese people and the overseas Chinese in Italy."
"I hope that in the future global anti-epidemic process, there will be more such close cooperation between China and Italy." Song Jingwu said that the epidemic has not been controlled, and the world may now face the worst economic crisis in the 21st century. Victory of the epidemic is a prerequisite for economic recovery. The world must build a sense of a community of shared future for mankind and work together to address risks and challenges in order to build a better home for the planet. After the epidemic, I believe that international cooperation formed in the course of the fight against the epidemic will also become an important driving force for revitalizing the global economy.
