  At a time when major strategic achievements have been made in the national epidemic prevention and control battle, China used a white paper on "China Action Against New Coronary Pneumonia" (hereinafter referred to as the "white paper") to review the time and latitude of the epidemic prevention and control, and elaborate the governance capacity and governance system. Experts interviewed by reporters from China News Agency pointed out that this white paper will promote the benign interaction between “governance in China” and “governance in the world”.

Data Map: On the occasion of major strategic achievements in the national epidemic prevention and control and blocking war, the Information Office of the State Council of China released a white paper on "China Action Against New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic" on June 7. This is called "an important document that truly records the hardship of China's epidemic resistance." China News Service reporter Zhang Yushe

Full presentation of "Governance of China"

  "Talking with facts and data throughout the white paper is a panoramic record of a country's anti-epidemic process and a collective memory of 1.4 billion Chinese people." Wang Chen, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said.

  Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the Institute of International Strategy of the Chinese Academy of International Studies, believes that in recent years China has released a white paper that has become a normalized method to sort out facts and clarify logic, so that domestic and foreign audiences can develop a comprehensive and detailed understanding of a field . As far as this white paper is concerned, at the critical moment when the domestic epidemic prevention enters a new stage, it is very suitable for summing up the existing experience.

  "The two battlefields of prevention, control and treatment cooperate in combat." The white paper pointed out that in the face of sudden outbreaks, China puts people's lives and health in the first place. As of May 31, the cumulative cure rate of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in China was 94.3%.

  Tang Bei, an associate researcher at the School of International Relations and Public Affairs at Shanghai International Studies University, said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the international community has reached a certain consensus in prevention, control and treatment, and the white paper highlights the key to China’s experience in anti-epidemics-the "life first" politics Determination and value orientation are also focused on clarifying positions, responding to external concerns, and issuing "the most authoritative voice."

  The white paper also proposes ideas for the next step, which includes "compensating for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses" in the national public health emergency management system, including "reforming and improving the disease prevention and control system." Zeng Guang, chief scientist of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that he hopes that the epidemic will allow the Chinese public health system to “fundamentally change”.

Actively participate in "global governance"

  After the publication of the white paper, former international counselor Zimir Awan of Pakistan to China, Zheng Jianqiang, director of the Department of Chinese Medicine at the University of Raman, Malaysia, and Hamduk, prime minister of the Sudanese Transitional Government, said in an interview that this will fight the outbreak in other countries and regions Provide reference.

  China provided two batches of US$50 million in cash assistance to the World Health Organization; as of May 31, China had sent 29 medical expert teams to 27 countries and had provided or was providing anti-epidemic assistance to 150 countries and 4 international organizations ......As stated in the white paper, China "does everything it can to provide assistance to international organizations and other countries in the epidemic situation and contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to the global anti-epidemic."

  Su Xiaohui said that the white paper answered "what we have contributed to global governance" with facts, and also affirmed the existing international cooperation. It further confirmed that the future direction is "to jointly build a human health and health community", rather than "to fight alone." , Take the neighbor as the gully."

  "China has always agreed with the global public health governance system with the World Health Organization as the core." Tang Bei pointed out that the epidemic highlights the "shortcomings" of "global governance", especially when governments of various countries face sudden public crises, it is generally difficult to determine The determination to change the preset conventional political agenda so that it cannot respond in a timely manner is an important reason for the epidemic to become a global pandemic. As the largest developing country, China, with a population of 1.4 billion, interprets the “rule of China” with practical actions, and stabilizing the situation is itself a contribution to the “rule of the world”.

Promote positive interaction between China and foreign countries

  "Humanity has once again stood at the crossroads of where to go." The white paper asks: insist on scientific rationality or create political differences? Strengthen unity and cooperation or seek decoupling and isolation? Promoting multilateral coordination or pursuing unilateralism?

  From the lines in the white paper, to the questions and answers at the press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council of China around the white paper, and the repeated voices of Chinese leaders on important occasions, the answer is obvious: "The international community must strengthen its confidence, unite and cooperate."

  "The governance of China and the governance of the world are complementary and mutually reinforcing," Tang Bei said. However, this crisis reflects that countries have great differences in their understanding of their interaction with the world. Some countries advocate cooperation, and some countries are diametrically opposed. China made a positive statement through the white paper, precisely to strive for cooperation and achieve the goal of global governance.

  Zeng Guang also said that China has promised to provide the new crown vaccine as a public product to the world, which serves as a demonstration, especially for countries with weak public health governance capabilities. He called on more countries, enterprises and even individuals to jointly participate in vaccine research and development and play a synergistic role.

  The interviewed experts also said that the more problems are exposed, the more they must be solved, and the key to solving problems lies in promoting global cooperation. Just as the white paper puts forward the proposal: "People all over the world have hopes and dreams, uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and if they have the same goals and move forward in unity, they will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and challenges and build a more prosperous and beautiful world."
