  Affected by the new Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, many European countries commemorated the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Second World War in a different way from 8 to 9 May. Leaders emphasized that as the new coronary pneumonia epidemic spreads globally, the world should be united to avoid the recurrence of tragedies.

In the view of UN Secretary General Guterres, this is also the biggest challenge facing the world since World War II. More than 4 million diagnosed cases and more than 270,000 live lives disappeared. The normal production and living order was forced to press the "pause button", and the world seemed to be pulled back to the era of suffering.

  How to win this global defense battle has become the question of the times.

  Unity and cooperation and common resistance against the enemy are the key to victory in World War II, and they are also the most powerful weapons to win this epidemic war.

  On the 8th, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized in a telephone conversation with Russian President Putin that the international community should carry forward the spirit of the world ’s anti-fascist war, work together, unite and help each other, actively implement the concept of a community of human destiny, and work together to win this relationship Safe and healthy defense battle.

He said that if the EU cannot unite in the epidemic and after the epidemic, "we would be ashamed of the day of May 8."

The epidemic threats facing the world now need more unity than ever before. "When the world is united, everything is possible."

  Multilateralism is considered to be the common choice of human society after World War II and the cornerstone of building today's international order. In the face of viruses that have no borders and no races, no country can deal with it alone and respond to it alone. Therefore, it should adhere to the spirit of multilateralism.

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic, this war has not only manifested itself as a contest between humans and viruses, but also on the side of multilateralism and unilateralism. Some countries have adopted deportation policies that lack humanitarian care, refused to lift sanctions against some countries, denied the role of WHO and other multilateral agencies, speculated on the source of the virus, politicized and stigmatized the epidemic and became an international cooperation in the fight against epidemics "Counter current".
