As Chinese people unite to fight against the virus domestically, the international community has shown great support to the country. At the same time, nevertheless, the global society is also churning out some discordant voices. They first expressed doubts about China’s official data of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Then came the rhetoric dampening the prospect of China’s economy, further followed by biased reports of the country’s inhumane treatment of infected people. Things finally peaked with the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declaring the Communist Party of China (CPC) “the central threat of our times” while visiting the U.K.
In the grim situation, the whole country is being organized well to combat the virus. Infrared thermometers are seen at all entrances of supermarkets, gas and train stations, and communities to monitor people’s temperatures so as to detect COVID-19 symptoms timely. With online assistance platforms set up for virus-infected people and those who have close contact with them, everyone has easy access to medical help. Hotlines have even been set up for expats across the country, providing them with timely medical consultation and assistance on epidemic prevention and control. The Chinese government has vowed to leave no patient unattended. Even under the shadow of the epidemic, the whole country shows no sign of chaos, but rather an unflagging spirit of fighting and irrepressible vitality. Having witnessed all this, we believe our foreign peers will share the same sense of marvel as we do.
