Rather than reversing their fight against China in light of the crisis that faces mankind, some U.S. politicians have only intensified their rhetoric and antagonism. The consequences are unpredictable.

China and the United States managed to forge a complementary relationship since 1979, despite their disagreement about the best model of government. They need to return to the pragmatism of the past.

The pandemic reminds us that mankind is a community with a shared future and that all rise and fall together. Faced with defamation, smears and attacks, China has chosen to respond with dignity, reason and discipline.
Experts give their recommendations about how to move forward in the fight against COVID-19. Step 1: China and the United States should shelve their disputes and lead global cooperation.

Pakistan is struggling to contain COVID-19 due to a lack of resources and its flawed government systems. But rather than facing the blame of starting the pandemic, China will emerge as a benefactor and ally, in the minds of the Pakistani public.

People of goodwill can see for themselves that China acted responsibly and transparently during the coronavirus outbreak. It bought precious time for the United States and others to respond. Unfortunately, the opportunity was wasted.

This week, leaders from medicine, economics, politics, and civil society are uniting to demand immediate and coordinated international action – in the next few days – to mobilize the resources needed to address the COVID-19 crisis, prevent the current health catastrophe from becoming one of the worst in history, and avert a global depression.
