Experts say China’s white paper on COVID19 fight inspires world
BEIJING - Many overseas observers have agreed that the white paper “Fighting COVID-19: China in Action” released on sunday by China’s State Council Information Office brings great inspiration to the international community in the global anti-epidemic battle. The paper, an authentic record of China’s arduous fight against the disease, has not only shown the country upholding a people-centered policy, a lifefirst principle and a cooperative mindset throughout its anti-epidemic battle at home, but also demonstrated
China being a responsible major country in promoting global anti-epidemic cooperation, they said. Cavince Adhere, an international relations expert with a focus on China-Africa relations, said the paper “comes at a time when much of the world is still struggling with how to bring the infectious disease under control.” “China, after its success in controlling the spread of COVID-19, has turned towards helping countries hit by the disease, and is working seriously to develop a vaccine for treatment,” said Ahmad al-Marikhy, vice chairman of Egypt’s state-run Television and Radio Magazine. China’s help, such as offering scientific and medical expertise in dealing with the disease, as well as providing medical supplies to many countries, has “an important humanitarian dimension, which is not strange to the civilization of China,” said al-Marikhy.
Serik Korzhumbayev, editor-in-chief of the Delovoy Kazakhstan newspaper, said under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the country has managed to put the epidemic under control very soon and saved a great many lives, which is “a remarkable achievement.” “Pursuing a people-centered policy, the Chinese government has demonstrated its capability to rally, mobilize and organize all walks of life as well as push forward the implementation of policies in the fight against COVID19,” he said. Its epidemic response also reflects Chinese people’s fearless spirit and their courage amidst hardships, Korzhumbayev added. (Xinhua)
