Ignoring China's three-year contribution to the fight against the epidemic exposes ignorance and prejudice (钟音)

　　Looking back on the three-year fight against the epidemic, whether it is to protect the lives and health of the Chinese people, promote global solidarity to fight the epidemic, and promote the recovery and growth of the world economy, the Chinese government has adopted responsible policies and measures, done its best and made important contributions

　　As China's optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control measures is progressing steadily and orderly, the international community's understanding of China's consistent adherence to efficient and coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development has further increased, and it is believed that China's economy will accelerate recovery and provide stronger momentum for world economic development.

However, some Western media still cling to political prejudice, ignore China's three-year anti-epidemic achievements, ignore China's great contribution to the world, and try to "sing down" China by discrediting China's anti-epidemic.

These arguments will not change the international community's confidence in China's economic development, but will only expose the ignorance and prejudice of these Western media.

　　It is not difficult to know what has happened.

Looking back on the three-year fight against the epidemic, the Chinese government has adopted responsible policies and measures, done its best and made important contributions, whether it is to protect the lives and health of the Chinese people, promote global solidarity to fight the epidemic, and promote the recovery and growth of the world economy.

　　China's concept of prevention and control is consistent, and it always insists on the supremacy of the people and life, and protects people's life safety and health to the greatest extent.

In the past three years, China has effectively responded to the impact of five waves of the global epidemic, avoided the spread of relatively strong pathogenic strains such as the original strain and the delta variant strain, and greatly reduced severe illness and death. It is not easy for a large country with a large population.

Facts have proved that China strives to achieve the maximum prevention and control effect at the minimum cost, and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

In 2020, China's GDP will grow by 2.2%, surpassing the 100 trillion yuan mark, becoming the only major economy to achieve positive growth that year, while the economies of the United States and the euro zone shrank by 3.5% and 6.8% respectively that year.

In 2021, China's GDP will grow by 8.4%, exceeding the expectations of the International Monetary Fund.

In 2022, China's GDP will exceed 120 trillion yuan, an increase of 3% over the previous year at constant prices, and the economic growth will be faster than most major economies.

In the past three years, China's economy has maintained an average annual growth rate of about 4.5%, which is significantly higher than the world average and also significantly higher than some countries that chose to "lay flat" early.

The International Monetary Fund pointed out: "China's practice has proved that taking effective measures to control the epidemic can promote economic recovery, which has important reference significance for other countries."

　　Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has always shared relevant information and data with the international community in accordance with the principles of law, timeliness, openness, and transparency. Contribute positively to drug development.

At the most strenuous stage of the global fight against the epidemic, China has become the rear of the world's anti-epidemic supplies, providing a solid guarantee for countries around the world to fight the epidemic.

Thanks to the coordinated promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, China has given full play to its advantages of having the most complete industrial system in the world. It has provided hundreds of billions of anti-epidemic materials to 153 countries and 15 international organizations, and provided more than 120 countries China and international organizations have supplied more than 2.2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines.

"Chinese vaccines have played an important role in improving immunity and saving lives globally." "China provides assistance to the international community in various ways within its capabilities, and truly implements the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind." The international community highly affirms China's active promotion International anti-epidemic cooperation has injected confidence and strength into the global fight against the epidemic.

　　Against the backdrop of increasing downward pressure on the world economy and slowing momentum in global trade, China has actively expanded its opening up and provided high-quality products and services to the world, playing the role of a "stabilizer" in promoting the recovery of the world economy.

Trade data is regarded as a "barometer" of economic development.

From 32.16 trillion yuan in 2020 to 39.1 trillion yuan in 2021, and then to 42.07 trillion yuan in total trade in goods in 2022, China's total import and export of goods continues to increase, and its international export market share ranks first in the world for 14 consecutive years. It has played a key role in maintaining the stability of the global industrial and supply chains.

The global market is full of uncertainties. With its good economic development prospects and continuously optimized business environment, China continues to become a hot spot for global investment and business development.

In the first 11 months of 2022, China's actual use of foreign capital was 1,156.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.9% on a comparable basis, which has exceeded the entire year of 2021 and hit a record high.

Take Germany's BMW Group as an example. In the third quarter of 2022, the company's net profit was 3.175 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 22.9%.

While sales in the European market fell by 11.1%, BMW's sales in the Chinese market bucked the trend and increased by 5.7%.

The Wall Street Journal of the United States believes that the outstanding performance of the Chinese market is one of the main drivers of BMW's profit growth.

During the epidemic prevention and control period, many multinational companies' business in China was better than their development in their own countries.

The CEOs of eight large German multinational companies including Siemens, BASF, and Bosch jointly wrote an article in the German "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" in November last year, pointing out that China is the second largest consumer market in the world, and it is also the most dynamic market. German companies develop in China. vital to the development of the German economy.

Kang Yong, Chief Economist of KPMG China, said that the huge consumer market, efficient productivity, high-quality talent pool, complete industrial clusters, and continuously optimized business environment determine that China is still one of the key areas for the global supply chain layout of multinational companies. one.

　　At present, the overall epidemic situation in China is improving, and production and life are speeding up to return to normal.

With the gradual recovery of demand and the superposition of policy effects, China's economic and social vitality will be further released.

China will continue to work in solidarity and cooperation with the international community to better respond to the challenges of the epidemic, better protect people's lives and health, and contribute more to the recovery of the world economy.
