China’s influence in the realm of public opinion needs to be improved. Its international discourse does not yet sufficiently reflect the rich fabric of Chinese society and culture. Nor does it quench the craving for knowledge by the rest of the world.

The public must be cautious against simplifications and conspiracy theories when faced with complex problems such as the latest coronavirus outbreak.

Let’s acknowledge there has been unpleasant talk between our nations about this disease. But this is not the time for finger-pointing.

The concept of building a community with a shared future for all mankind, which was articulated by Chinese President Xi Jinping, is no longer a mere lofty slogan.

Like many countries, the U.S. was slow to accept the reality of COVID-19, but some have used racism and Sinophobia to deflect criticism for the country’s missteps in handling the virus.

China has hit a new milestone: no new local cases of the coronavirus.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. China has confidence in its socialist path, theory, system and culture. China’s strengths are evident it its response to the coronavirus epidemic.

The end may now be in sight because of the country’s aggressive measures. Some of its practices can provide other countries with models that can be adapted to their own conditions.

The nationwide mobilization has won worldwide acclaim. The country has made sacrifices, raised its efficiency, maintained transparency, assumed responsibility and shared its experience, which should be carefully noted by others and adapted.

To overcome challenges, several steps must be taken, starting with an update of an outmoded health security concept characterized by the “panic-neglect” cycle, as well as sharing experience so the world doesn’t have to start from scratch in every crisis.
