At a critical moment in the global fight against the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the "Qushi" magazine published on April 16 published the important article "Unity and Cooperation is the most powerful weapon for the international community to overcome the epidemic".
The article is an excerpt from Xi Jinping's speeches, talks, letters, messages of sympathy, telephone conversations with foreign leaders and heads of international organizations from January to April this year. The analysis pointed out that this article is Xi Jinping's in-depth thinking about the global war epidemic, and once again issued a strong appeal to the international community for solidarity and cooperation, but also a strong response to some of the current global war epidemic problems.
Solidarity and cooperation help deal with global issues
As the international epidemic continues to spread and the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 2 million, the international community urgently needs to condense the "maximum synergy" of this global problem.
When communicating with foreign leaders, "unity and cooperation" has become Xi Jinping's high-frequency word. He said to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, "In the process of fighting the epidemic, China, Germany and China and Europe have shown the strength of unity and cooperation and exerted positive energy"; he said to Egyptian President Sisi, "The facts once again show that humanity It is a community of shared destiny. All countries must unite and cooperate to cope with it. "
Observations believe that under the epidemic, people generally feel that "no one person or any country is an isolated island." Unity and cooperation are the most powerful weapons to deal with global problems.
"The international community has the necessity and urgency to work together to fight epidemic." Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration) pointed out, "Viruses are a common disaster for all mankind and can only be overcome by collaboration; the rapid spread of the virus is a global Cooperation makes more urgent demands. "
The outside world noticed that during the period when China fought against the local epidemic, the support and assistance of the international community played an important role. At the moment, China is "rewarding for the peach" and actively promoting global cooperation in war and epidemic prevention. The Chinese government and private sector have provided multiple batches of medical supplies to more than 140 countries and international organizations, dispatched 14 medical expert groups to 12 countries, and exported more than 7 billion masks and 50 million pieces of protective clothing.
The above-mentioned actions are not only material assistance and anti-epidemic support, but also a sense of responsibility for overcoming difficulties. Chang Jian, a professor at the Nankai University Zhou Enlai School of Government and Management, said that in the face of global problems, the only way to share results is to share responsibilities.
Solidarity and cooperation help break through the anti-epidemic warfare
Facing the global epidemic situation, how to get through the "blocking point" of cooperation will test the political wisdom of all parties.
Xi Jinping called on the international community to work together to turn crises into opportunities and "resist the impact of the epidemic with open and cooperative actions." At the G20 Leaders ’Special Summit on New Coronary Pneumonia, he put forward four specific proposals: resolutely fight the new global pneumonia epidemic prevention and control global blocking war, effectively carry out international joint prevention and control, actively support the role of international organizations, strengthen the Economic policy coordination.
"Unity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon to break through the 'blocking point.'" Dai Yanjun analyzed and said, "The Chinese initiative provides a realistic path reference for the global war epidemic."
China attaches great importance to providing strong support for global war epidemics through pragmatic cooperation. During a call with foreign leaders, Xi Jinping pointed out that "China is willing to strengthen practical cooperation in the field of health with France to jointly maintain regional and global public health security." "I hope that all parties will strengthen coordination and cooperation to implement the results of the special summit. To inject strong impetus to strengthen international cooperation in the fight against epidemics and stabilize the global economy. "
In terms of specific actions, many Chinese measures are aimed at "blocking points". For example, the establishment of a joint prevention and control cooperation mechanism with neighboring countries, the holding of nearly 100 video conferences of health experts, unreserved sharing of prevention and control diagnosis and treatment experience with various countries, the opening of a new coronary online prevention and control online knowledge center for all countries, which has been published so far The 7th edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan and the 6th edition of the prevention and control plan were released.
Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the Institute of International Strategy of the Chinese Academy of International Studies, pointed out that from initiative to action, China is able to do its best to promote the cooperation of the international community in responding to global public health incidents and achieve more pragmatic results.
Solidarity and cooperation will help eliminate stigmatization "resistance"
When the international community is facing an epidemic crisis, individual individuals politicize public health issues and issue stigmatized negative arguments from time to time, causing disruption to the global war epidemic. Experts believe that solidarity and cooperation are also the most powerful weapons to eliminate stigmatized "resistance".
When talking to Xi Jinping on the phone, leaders of many countries clearly voiced a positive voice against stigmatization and strengthening solidarity and cooperation.
Indonesian President Joko pointed out, "Indonesia resolutely opposes any stigmatization and is willing to work with China to promote the unity and cooperation of the international community." Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "Some people try to discredit China on the source of the virus is unacceptable." "China's action is a resounding response to the provocation and stigmatization of China by individual countries."
WHO Director-General Tan Desai issued a warning at the Munich Security Conference long ago that the biggest enemy of the international community is not the new crown virus itself, but the stigmatization that causes opposition.
"In the face of the current severe situation, using the epidemic to carry out political attacks will only aggravate the risk of division of the international community." Su Xiaohui pointed out that unity and cooperation is the best way to respond to stigmatization, which can eliminate noise and promote more coordinated and powerful global war epidemics.
Dai Yanjun said that the "dumping pan" argument of individual countries shirk their responsibilities affects the global cooperation process from time to time, and the international community needs to issue a voice of "isolating the epidemic from politics". Including China, the rational voices of all parties will further gather the consensus to work together to deal with the epidemic. (Finish)
