Overseas Chinese from many countries attacked and smeared China's speeches and conveyed the local people's voices-
"To fight the epidemic, China will do well and help well!"
The epidemic situation of New Coronary Pneumonia is still spreading all over the world, and the story of overseas Chinese and Chinese living in the country to fight against the epidemic has continued. Being overseas, and cherishing the ancestral (country) country, China has united the country against the epidemic and actively supported the global anti-epidemic activities, which has inspired overseas Chinese compatriots and heartily praised them. However, the recent smearing of politicians in western countries against China's anti-epidemic disease has also made foreign overseas Chinese feel stinging and resentful.
Hear, the overseas Chinese in the United States, Spain, the Philippines, Kenya, and Madagascar tell stories of the war epidemic they have personally experienced, reflecting the local people's true feelings about China's support. From the perspectives of overseas Chinese and local people, China's image of supporting global anti-epidemic is true and clear, and the delusions behind the discredited remarks are also obvious.
Cai Wenyao, consultant of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce
"Resolutely oppose discrediting Chinese discrimination against Chinese Americans"
I am in San Francisco, USA, and I am still in isolation. The San Francisco State Government has issued many outbreak prevention and control regulations. At present, the San Francisco outbreak prevention and control situation is relatively controllable, but the number of confirmed cases is still increasing.
After the epidemic spread rapidly in the United States, many stories happened, some of which touched me and some made me angry.
What moved me was that the sudden outbreak made us feel more deeply the care given by our friends in times of crisis. After the outbreak in the United States, some of my friends tried to send me anti-epidemic materials from China. In fact, before the outbreak, we were not easy to find out that so many friends were concerned about us. This epidemic made me discover that although our friends from China are far away from each other across the ocean, they are always connected.
This kind of concentric feeling comes not only from my personal experience, but also from the collective memory of overseas Chinese. During the outbreak of the Chinese epidemic, many American overseas Chinese spontaneously ran around for their ancestors (countries of origin), donated money and materials, admired China's effective and effective anti-epidemic measures, and felt the unity of the Chinese people across the country to overcome the hardship Gratified. In a sense, this joint anti-epidemic experience has once again brought together the hearts of Chinese children at home and abroad.
What makes me indignant is that in the course of China's efforts to prevent and control the domestic epidemic, and in its efforts to support the global war epidemic, politicians and media in some countries are taking the opportunity to spread remarks that discredit China. In the United States, certain politicians use China as their target for elections and other political purposes, and spread all kinds of smearing rumors and racial discrimination. This has no scientific basis and has ulterior motives. Earlier, we organized a large march against some American politicians' discrimination against Chinese Americans. These remarks that blamed China on the epidemic and attacked the Chinese-American community are strongly opposed by our overseas Chinese in the United States!
We see that China ’s dispatch of medical expert groups and donation of anti-epidemic materials and other aids to the global war epidemic have been welcomed and appreciated by the people of many countries. In the process of fighting the epidemic, China has done a good job by helping other countries as well. In the face of the unknown new coronavirus and the sudden global outbreak, all countries in the world should work together to fight against the outbreak, regardless of national boundaries or skin color.
Xie Guangqi, President of the Sichuan-Chongqing General Chamber of Commerce in Kenya——
"Local people often complain that Western media have no credibility"
I am in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, and the epidemic is still in a period of rising infection. Kenya has adopted strict prevention and control measures, stipulating that masks must be worn in public places, Nairobi implements “closed city” control, and all international flights are suspended. Overall, the people of Kenya are very supportive of the government's anti-epidemic measures.
During the anti-epidemic process in Kenya, the Chinese government, enterprises, and civil society have provided many practical assistance. Local governments, police stations, hospitals and other institutions often receive anti-epidemic materials such as masks and goggles from China, as well as living materials such as food. The Sichuan-Chongqing General Chamber of Commerce donated three batches of masks to the Nairobi Police Department, which has been specifically reported by the local mainstream media. As far as I know, there are about 50,000 overseas Chinese in Kenya, and almost all Kenyan overseas Chinese groups donate anti-epidemic materials to the local area. These tangible supports have been praised by the local people.
It can be seen from local mainstream media reports that the local people highly appraised China's national efforts to fight the epidemic, and were also moved by China's support for the global anti-epidemic. Especially for Chinese business owners, local employees generally give positive comments. In March of this year, my company was suspended due to the epidemic, but all employees were still given full wages. In April, some employees started to resume work, and the company assigned them masks and paid full wages; for employees who did not come to work, the company also paid half of the wages to protect their basic lives.
My company ’s local employees once mentioned in a chat with me that “China and the United Nations donated materials to us” “China ’s support is real” “Chinese are friendly and credible” “Working in Chinese companies, we "I feel at ease" ... I think these evaluations are a full affirmation of the overseas Chinese of China and Kenya.
Among African countries, Kenya is a relatively open and unobstructed country. The local people can see many reports from international media, including some Western media that discredit China. We can clearly feel that the local mainstream society does not pay much attention to these discredited remarks, and mainstream media rarely report. When local friends chatted with us about reports that discredited China, they often "spit" some Western media: "It's a matter of China. Some Western media reported this way today. Tomorrow's statement has changed again and again. It's capricious, and it doesn't feel credible. . "
Judging from the overall social atmosphere in Kenya, the local people have their own rational judgments about the Western disparagement of China. Many people have long realized that discrediting China is a political tactic used by Western countries. I think this is the old saying in China: fair and free.
"China's anti-epidemic measures are efficient and effective"
Dai Huadong, executive chairman of the Spanish Overseas Chinese Societies Association-
I have lived in Spain for more than 30 years and now live in Barcelona. Recently, I often hold online meetings with Chinese friends across time zones.
In terms of fighting the epidemic, in general, cooperation between China and Spain is smooth. Spanish mainstream media reports on China's anti-epidemic are generally positive. News from various sectors of Chinese society and local overseas Chinese support Spanish epidemic prevention. Local mainstream media often report the first time, including donations of local overseas Chinese groups, support of local anti-epidemic, and mutual support of anti-epidemic between China and Spanish friendly cities.
We have seen reports and remarks by some overseas media that discredit China, but in fact, these arguments mainly appear in a small number of media reports. In Spain, there are not many audiences for these remarks. Earlier, Spain also had negative news about the quality of Chinese defense epidemic supplies. The Spanish Health Agency found that the quality problems mainly originated from mistakes made by Spanish buyers during their own procurement process. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also responded positively. In my opinion, there is cooperation between the two countries, and it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings. For China, experiencing these small frictions can prompt us to communicate and resolve conflicts in a more timely and effective manner in the future. This is also a "required course" in China's development process.
As far as the local friends I have come into contact with, whether they are ordinary citizens or government workers, many people feel that the measures taken by the Chinese national defense to control the epidemic are effective. At the beginning of the outbreak of the Spanish epidemic, local friends asked me for advice on epidemic prevention. Until now, they will still sigh to me that China's defense measures are efficient and effective.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, what I feel most deeply is that although the local Chinese business enterprises have been hit hard by the epidemic, almost all overseas Chinese have done their best to support the local people to fight the epidemic. When masks are not available everywhere in Spain, overseas Chinese will take the initiative to give them free of charge. My familiar police friends have sent me a message saying: "Today, Chinese people are sending supplies again! You Chinese people are doing well!" It can be seen that overseas Chinese and Chinese people actively support the anti-epidemic actions, leaving a good impression on the local people.
Spanish friends told me that local people now say that when the epidemic ends, it depends on when the Chinese store opens. This is a kind joke. I think this is how the hearts of overseas Chinese and local people are getting closer.
Philippine Red Candle Chinese Education Foundation Advisory Committee Zhang Jie——
"The truth of China's epidemic resistance is self-evident"
I am in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The prevention and control measures for the new coronary pneumonia epidemic are still relatively strict. After the epidemic occurred, the Philippines learned from China's national defense epidemic experience in areas such as community epidemic prevention. At present, according to the local epidemic prevention situation, different regions of the Philippines have adopted different levels of epidemic prevention control measures.
What impressed me the most during the fight against epidemic in China was that the Chinese government always put the safety of people's lives first. During the treatment of New Coronary Pneumonia, both the elderly and the young can be treated equally, which reflects the respect of the Chinese government for the lives of the people. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the cohesion of the Chinese nation has once again become prominent. Overseas Chinese and Chinese people have no doubts to support the ancestral (country) country's fight against epidemic disease, proving that overseas Chinese compatriots have never weakened their ancestral homeland.
As the epidemic spread in the Philippines, many overseas Chinese and Chinese industries suffered great losses, but everyone was donating money and materials to help the local fight against the epidemic. Purchase masks, ventilators, and protective clothing from China and donate them to the Philippine local government, hospitals, prisons, and rural areas. It can be said that this time for the support of the Philippine anti-epidemic, we overseas Chinese and Chinese people contribute money, contribute, experience and technology!
The support of the mainstream society in the Philippines to the Chinese government, all sectors of society, and the efforts of the local overseas Chinese are recognized. In the mainstream Philippines media, you can often see reports such as "China helps us, we are very grateful" and "China is our friend". From these reports, you can feel the recognition and gratitude of the local people for China's support.
It is undeniable that the speech that discredited China has attracted the attention of some people in the Philippines, but the mainstream society has always maintained a rational view on this, and most people realize that the stigmatized speech is behind the ulterior motives of some Western politicians. The "China threat theory" advocated by these politicians has a certain market and audience. This is the public opinion murmur that accompanies China's development. Since the outbreak, China has always disclosed information in a timely manner, maintained communication with WHO and countries around the world, shared the information on the outbreak and China ’s experience in fighting the epidemic, and spoke with facts. Compared with those scientifically unfounded, capricious, and black-and-white rhetoric, the truth of China's efforts to fight the epidemic is self-evident.
Overseas Chinese have always been the bridge between China and the country of residence. Overseas Chinese are a window to show the real state of China to the people of the country of residence. In the current epidemic situation, our overseas Chinese will better convey the anti-epidemic power and confidence and tell the story of the war in China.
Cai Guowei, President of the Madagascar Chinese Chamber of Commerce-
"People's recognition of China continues to increase"
I have been doing business in Madagascar for more than 20 years. After the outbreak, our overseas Chinese partners have been busy fighting the epidemic in Madagascar and China. Recently, Madagascar has no new cases. So far, no overseas Chinese have been infected with new coronary pneumonia.
After the epidemic occurred in China, overseas Chinese from all over the world rushed to donate money and materials for the fight against epidemic in China. Our overseas Chinese from the Madagascar Chinese Chamber of Commerce actively donated money to do what we can to fight the epidemic in China. After the outbreak in Madagascar, local overseas Chinese actively procured various kinds of daily necessities and daily necessities, donated them to local municipal governments, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, the police station, the gendarmerie and other institutions, and also sent some of the materials to local villagers. The mainstream media of Madagascar reported this many times.
We have also noticed that there have been some conspiracy theories about the origin of the virus in overseas media recently, raising questions about China ’s epidemic statistics, and even countries claiming compensation from China for the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. This is an issue thrown by the politicians of some Western countries to cover up the ineffective prevention and control of the epidemic, and to transfer the domestic people ’s blame to the international public opinion. In order to suppress and weaken China-made public opinion and stop China's peaceful rise, it can be described as sinister in its intentions.
Objectively speaking, foreign people are affected by overseas media, and their understanding of the Chinese people's anti-epidemic since the outbreak was incomplete. This is also one of the reasons for discrediting China's speech in Western countries. Western countries have the right to speak on the world stage. In response to these out-of-the-box and unpredictable reports, China has used various channels and platforms to convince people and clarify one by one, while adhering to the fight against epidemic disease, and follow its own development path. Continued support for global solidarity against the epidemic reflects the responsibility of a responsible big country.
As the so-called "seeing people's hearts in a long time", China provides anti-epidemic support such as materials, personnel, and technology to many countries. The people of these countries have personal experience. In Madagascar, the local people have experienced the spread of the epidemic in person, have an intuitive understanding of the national defense epidemic situation, and understand the actual effects of China's support. As overseas Chinese in Madagascar, we can clearly feel that the local people's recognition of China is constantly improving, and thanks for the support of the overseas Chinese against the epidemic is from the heart.
