The British "Daily Telegraph" recently published a headline entitled "Why is China using all the energy of the monitoring country but cannot control the Delta mutation virus?" The article, without any factual basis, openly accuses China of legitimate covid-19 surveillance measures as "surveillance tools" and asserts that China's political system cannot contain the spread of the new virus. Its groundless speculation and malicious slander against China vividly show the inherent arrogance and prejudice of the United States and the West.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, stigmatizing China by means of the epidemic has become a routine operation of some American and Western media, and when the Delta mutation has swept through Europe and the United States, this article in the British media is still full of speculation and slander against China, which is completely inconsistent with the facts.
In the face of the epidemic, the strict and efficient prevention and control measures taken by the Chinese government have not only won the heartfelt support of the chinese people, but also quickly controlled the momentum of the spread of the epidemic, and achieved decisive results in the defense of Wuhan and Hubei in only about 3 months. Faced with the threat of the newly imported Delta mutant strain, the Chinese government has also quickly organized forces to effectively prevent and control it. Many netizens believe that if there is any place that can control the epidemic of delta mutant strains, it is China.
China's contribution to global anti-epidemic cooperation is also obvious to the whole world. China was the first to share epidemic information and prevention and control experience with the international community; China has provided more than 300 billion masks, 3.7 billion pieces of protective clothing and other large medical supplies to more than 200 countries and regions, and has provided more than 600 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines; China has pledged to the world to strive to provide 2 billion doses of vaccines to the world throughout this year and donate 100 million US dollars to the "COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan".
Facts are facts and cannot be defamed. The epidemic prevention measures taken by China are legitimate and effective, can stand the test of practice, and are also the best embodiment of "people first, life first". WHO and experts from many countries have said that China's experience in responding to the epidemic is worth learning, and it is willing to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China in epidemic prevention and control and treatment.
Currently, the United States ranks first with more than 630,000 deaths and the United Kingdom ranks seventh with 130,000 deaths. The number of new confirmed cases in the United Kingdom and the United States in a single day remains high. These data have shown that the loss of control of the epidemic in Europe and the United States is an irrefutable fact. Those Us and Western politicians who have been preaching "human rights" all day long, in the face of the current global public crisis, still give priority to their own political interests, and their words and deeds are putting their own people in a real disaster.
