(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Foreign media claim that the U.S. outbreak is responsible for serious outbreaks, not China
China News Agency, Beijing, May 28th, comprehensive news: A number of foreign media recently issued a document saying that the responsibility for the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the United States lies in the United States itself, and China is only a scapegoat. Specifically, the failure of the democratic system, the lack of attention in the early days, and the lack of overall leadership are the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of the United States in the fight against epidemics.
On May 28th, real-time statistics from Johns Hopkins University showed that as of the evening of the 27th, the United States had more than 100,000 deaths from the new crown. The picture shows May 27, local time, a man running through Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, USA.
Don't listen to the saying "China conceals the virus"
On the 24th of this month, the US National Interest magazine published an article saying that it should not listen to the statement that "China conceals the new crown virus". China ’s overall response measures are more effective than most countries. Domestic isolation measures are adopted between cities. People generally wear masks. At the same time, China has established a detection and traceability system that can obtain large amounts of data.
The article said that US President Trump had earlier optimistically believed that “the epidemic was under control” and “the confirmed cases would approach zero within a few days”. After being proved wrong, he has been trying to turn China into a scapegoat. He attacked China and blamed it on China. The cause of the severe outbreak in the United States is related to the mistakes of the governor, government agencies and Trump himself.
The article said that a few weeks after Italy became the epidemic center, the United States continued to allow 140,000 passengers to enter the United States from Italy, and also allowed 1.7 million passengers from other European countries to enter, without taking any precautions. It is not China but the United States that makes these decisions. The so-called "Chinese concealment" is inaccurate, but this is just a guise for some Western politicians to defend themselves in front of their public and to put pressure on China internationally.

The epidemic crisis is the failure of American democracy
American best-selling author David Little wrote on the website of Time magazine on the 20th that the public health crisis caused by the new crown epidemic to the United States was the failure of American democracy. Little believed that it was a tragedy for the US government to fail to maintain public well-being in this crisis. But it is not surprising that from the way the United States organizes elections to fund election campaigns, from dividing constituencies to lobbying groups that influence political decision-making, the public interest has been repeatedly ignored. Compared to any time in the past half century, the United States is governed and enjoyed by fewer people, and the vast majority of people are suffering as a result.
Little said that polls show that the vast majority of Americans want leaders to listen to expert opinions, but this has not happened. When the United States pursued social isolation measures, it moved too slowly, and epidemiologists found that this resulted in 90% of new cases of coronary heart disease deaths in the United States.
Little said that despite human lives, American leaders are ignoring reasonable popular wishes. Over the past four decades, the United States has been completely changed, and leaders ’decisions have increasingly focused on the public interest.

America is a mess, but China is not the answer
Neil Ferguson, a senior researcher at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, said in an interview with the Nikkei Asian Review on the 21st that the United States currently lacks multiple qualities as a world power. Politics is a mess, and many Americans have confused the boundaries between politics and reality shows. There is a mechanical failure at the government level that cannot provide the necessary guarantees for the people. He said that the United States does have its own problems, but China is not the solution.
Agence France-Presse reported on the 20th that Trump ignored the seriousness of the threat in the early stages of the epidemic, and repeatedly stated that China is working hard to respond. But when the outbreak of the United States began, he began to shift his focus to criticizing China, saying "China is responsible for the global spread of the outbreak." Although the White House suggested that the virus originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, no evidence has been produced so far.
An article published on the U.S. Business Insider website on the 12th stated that the United States made a fatal mistake in epidemic prevention. When a new disease emerges, the easiest response is to think (and hope) that the outbreak will always be a problem for others, especially when the detection system and diagnostic tests fail.
American scholar and political activist Noam Chomsky told AFP on the 25th that the United States is on a chaotic path and lacks leadership and no plans to fight the new crown epidemic. He said that Trump cut the funds for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and terminated his cooperation with Chinese scientists. These practices have caused the United States to be unprepared when the virus comes. (Finish)
