The latest statistics of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic released by Johns Hopkins University in the United States show that the epidemic in the United States is the most serious. The Chinese people feel empathy and are very worried. "The world is a global village. One person is insecure is all people are insecure." Chinese netizens expressed their wishes to do their utmost and extend a helping hand, touching their hearts and conveying human warmth.
In contrast, the performance of some American politicians is very angry. Life is a matter of life, but in their eyes, weeping apart from life and death, the body bags transported by the whole vehicle, and the tragedy that no one found at home died, are not urgent. What they are most interested in is how to use this to play some political tricks and push away all the responsibilities they should bear. American media commented that the epidemic was raging, but some politicians focused on two things: the media and China. "Boston Globe" sharp words: lost the opportunity to fight the virus, "their hands are covered with American blood."
"Stigmatized China" impacts international justice. China's anti-epidemic actions are open and hard-working. They are obvious to all, and will never be wiped out by a few people who wantonly thrown sewage. UN Secretary General Guterres said sincerely that the Chinese people "contributed to all mankind by sacrificing normal life." In response to a reporter's question, Tan Desai, Director-General of the World Health Organization, stated many times that "China's actions are fast and large in scale, which is rare in the world." An authoritative academic journal "The Lancet" in the medical community recently published an editorial commenting that the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has been quickly contained in China, which is "impressive example for other countries." China has fought against the epidemic at all costs, successfully curbed the spread of the virus and saved countless lives. It is now being stigmatized and "scrapped" by unscrupulous politicians. What is the axiom? Where is justice?
"Stigmatizing China" should not be a life-saving medicine. The new crown virus challenges the human right to life and health. At this time, it is more important to save people and blame others. Cooperation and verbal abuse are more important and self-evident. The reality is surprising. Some politicians in the United States are not trying to cure people and save people, but are keen to cast wizard-like spells, thinking that this can save lives. According to an article published on the website of the Atlantic Monthly in the United States, the White House did not take strong prevention and control measures in the early stages of the epidemic, which is the most important reason for the current outbreak in the United States. Bill Gates, co-chair of the Gates Foundation, bluntly said, "From the beginning, China has done a lot of right things, just like any country where there is a virus." "It is sad that the United States can do very well. , But it is precisely that it responds the worst ".
"Stigmatized China" endangers global anti-epidemic. The United States, as the number one economic and technological power, has strong economic strength, strong scientific research capabilities, and leading medical standards. It is expected that while effectively controlling domestic epidemics, the United States will undertake more international obligations and help more vulnerable countries and regions. The poor performance of some American politicians will only undermine global efforts to fight against the epidemic, undermine the consensus of destiny and commonality, and undermine the homeland of mutual help. China has always adhered to the concept of a community of human destiny and provided assistance to countries within its ability. Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out that China extended a helping hand to the countries affected by the epidemic in a timely manner and set a good example for the international community.
The tricks that have repeatedly vilified China are backed by sinister political manipulation and political intentions. This is seen from all walks of life in the United States and the international community. The New York Times pointed out that in the United States, the response to the epidemic is very large. To a certain extent "covered up by political calculations". Jim O'Neill, chairman of the Royal Institute of International Studies, wrote an article titled "Criticizing China as a Dangerous Attention Transfer Strategy": "For many governments, stigmatizing China seems to be a way of distracting people ’s attention to hide their resistance. Strategies for insufficient preparedness for epidemic diseases. At present, the world ’s top priority is supposed to be a comprehensive and coordinated response to the dual health and economic crisis caused by the epidemic. This accused farce is not only useless, but also contains a crisis. "
The dangerous "political virus" also requires global joint efforts to fight it. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on minority issues, Fernand Varenna, warned that the new coronary pneumonia is not just a health problem, it may also become a virus that exacerbates xenophobia, xenophobia and hatred. Some Western Asians wearing masks were abused and beaten on the streets. This is a terrible example. An editorial published in the world-renowned scientific journal "Nature" pointed out: "Since the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia, Asian people around the world have become the targets of racist attacks, causing physical and mental health and loss of life for countless people."
In the face of illness, whether it is provoking provocation and rumor, or uniting and cooperating to overcome difficulties, tests the morality and conscience of mankind for history, life, and the future. There is no doubt that if the "political virus" is allowed to impact international justice, and some politicians in the United States are allowed to use the virus as a political weapon, the loss and suffering suffered by the world will be incalculable, and a very dark one will be written in human history. page.
