The "China Net Review" kidnaps the national fortune and people's livelihood for its own selfish interests, and it is the people's public enemy

If you can't do anything, ask for yourself. This is the true meaning that the ancient Chinese people have realized more than two thousand years ago, but now some Western politicians seem to be unable to understand it.

With the rapid spread of the new crown epidemic in Western countries, especially in the United States, a "political virus" is also growing: political leaders in high positions and shouldering the country's anti-epidemic responsibilities have focused on playing the game of blame, and have successively pinned hats on China's head, such as the poison created by the Wuhan virus, China's concealment of the epidemic, China's data fraud, and China's responsibility. There is a logic behind this: pushing the blame to China can not only cover up the fact that it has neglected its duties and failed to fight the epidemic, but also can shape itself into a wartime commander who stepped forward in a critical moment and was miraculously re-elected.

This logic doesn't hold up, but it's deadly to China, which they see as a strategic competitor. So they persevere and work tirelessly, even if they have made a lot of mistakes.

The pot has been thrown more and more awkwardly. Among the various conspiracy theories, the most hyped by the US side is the laboratory where the virus originated in China and came from Wuhan. But as evidence has surfaced, this argument has become increasingly unsustainable. The time of the earliest infection and transmission of cases in countries such as the United States and France has been advanced by 1 month or even months, even earlier than the time of the occurrence of cases in Wuhan, China. There are also studies that show that the strain of the new crown virus in France is different from China and Italy, which belongs to another evolutionary branch of the new crown virus, which means that the epidemic in France has other sources; the WHO has repeatedly emphasized that "the virus is naturally produced", and top scientific journals such as The Lancet and Nature also clearly pointed out that the new crown virus is not synthetic. Even U.S. intelligence agencies and the military have said they "agree with the broad consensus of the scientific community that the new coronavirus is not man-made."

U.S. politicians have also lost most of their confidence in accusing China. Trump clarified in an interview with the New York Post on the 4th that he meant that the virus "spread from the Wuhan area" rather than confirming that it "originated from the laboratory". Pompeo also admitted that the United States is not sure that the new crown virus originated in the laboratory in Wuhan, but still argues that this does not contradict his previous statement. A country's leader's inconsistencies in the question of the origin of the virus, and then arbitrarily changing his mouth and reversing his ways after being questioned by the public, will only deepen his bad impression of misleading the public.

The blame game gradually evolved into a crisis of trust. Trump, Pompeo and others claim to have a large amount of evidence to prove that the virus came from a laboratory in Wuhan, but they have always been secretive about the details, and they have been forced by the media to be vague in an attempt to pass the test, causing the general disgust of the Western media. Even the BBC couldn't look down on it, using the pejorative word for tout (with the meaning of boasting and flaunting).

According to a recent poll conducted by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago's Center for Public Opinion Research, only 23 percent of Americans believe Trump is a "reliable source of information" about covid-19 and 52 percent believe only what their state and local leaders say. The latest Economist/YouGov tracking survey released on May 6 shows that Biden's approval rating is still 4 percentage points ahead of Trump. Trump's dismissal of responsibility not only failed to raise the electoral situation, but also let his public opinion continue to lose points.

Who is America's enemy? Unlike individual politicians, who are obsessed with throwing pots, the Western business community is much more sober and pragmatic. When the outbreak broke out in China, they generously donated medical supplies. And when faced with the problem of resuming work and production, they are also willing to absorb And adopt China's useful experience.

Kent CapitaLand, a partner at The Shanghai-based partner of the British consultancy Chemical Insurance Group, said that multinational companies face the challenge of restarting business in Europe and the United States, and the lessons learned in China are very valuable, and some of the multinational companies' Chinese executives have been transferred to headquarters to participate in the restart. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said that beneficial practices such as taking body temperature before changing shifts in China will be introduced into the operation process when U.S. stores resume business. Hilton executives said the company has followed the practice of chinese branches and required each hotel in its hotel to clean areas with high touch rates in the room more thoroughly.

Previously, many US media were denounced by Trump as "common communism" and "public enemy of the people" for "praising" China's anti-epidemic measures. I wonder if U.S. companies today will enjoy the same treatment by learning from China's experience.

Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai once said that delaying cooperation in fighting the epidemic, as well as subsequent cooperation to restore economic growth and respond to other global challenges, will also bleak our prospects for creating a better future. By doing so, the United States will not benefit from it, blaming the game for the end.

No matter how big the differences between countries are, they are no greater than the well-being of the people. Only by exerting internal and external efforts to control the epidemic and restore economic and social order can we win public support. The well-being of the people's livelihood is related to the people's hearts and minds, which is a universal truth.

And those who recognize the wrong public enemy and put their political destiny above the national fortunes and people's livelihood are the real enemies of the United States. (Responsible editors: Yang Xinhua, Jiang Xinyu, Li Xiaohua)
