A few days ago, some Western media labeled China's "dynamic zeroing" epidemic prevention policy as "disregard for human life, people's livelihood and dignity". A small number of Westerners cling to a narrow ideology, disregard the facts, reverse black and white, and expose the obvious "cognitive barrier to China." This is really ridiculous and sad.

The facts cannot be discredited. Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, China has always adhered to the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life, earnestly respected the value and dignity of everyone's life, adhered to the general strategy of "external prevention of import, internal prevention and rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic clearance", and ensured that due diligence should be inspected, isolated and treated to the letter, effectively protecting the people's life and health and economic and social development, and its results have been verified in the past two years.

China's fight against the epidemic is open, transparent and scientific. In the past two years, China's National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and other important holidays, hundreds of millions of domestic trips, which is one of the strong proofs of the remarkable effectiveness of the epidemic prevention and control policy. Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization's health emergency program, said at the WHO press conference on the 18th that caution must be taken when comparing different epidemic response strategies, but he personally prefers to be in a "zero" environment of the new crown. Some foreigners living in China sincerely lamented that "returning to China during the epidemic is the best decision" and spontaneously introduced the real situation of China's fight against the epidemic to the world on social media and other platforms. International authoritative journals such as The Lancet have published articles saying that China's anti-epidemic experience provides a reference for the world.

China's anti-epidemic results are obvious to all, and the epidemic prevention policy can stand the test of practice.

The reason why some Western media suffer from "cognitive disorders toward China" and, in the fight against the epidemic and even many other issues, have repeatedly distorted the truth about China and completely contradicted things, behind this is the arrogance of thinking that the Western political system and governance model are superior, there is the prejudice of taking Western countries as the criterion for judging and evaluating other countries, and there is also the narrowness and paranoia of "seeing others' goodness", not accepting countries with different social systems, history and culture to surpass themselves, and suppressing confrontation at every turn. These arrogances, prejudices and narrow-mindedness will only poison the atmosphere of global solidarity against the epidemic and hinder the common development of the world.

At present, with the joint efforts of the international community, important progress has been made in the global fight against the epidemic, but the situation of epidemic prevention and control is still grim, and the international community should strive to avoid letting the "cognitive barrier to China" hinder the overall situation of the global fight against the epidemic. Working together to provide confidence for the world to finally defeat the epidemic.
