Xi seeks global cooperation

BEIJING -- China's development has been advancing in a new historic journey since late 2017, when Chinese President Xi Jinping noted at the 19th Communist Party of China (CPC) National Congress that China's economy was transitioning from a phase of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. To forestall and defuse various kinds of risks and proactively address challenges brought by external changes, China needs to focus on taking care of its own matters and improving the quality of development, Xi has said.

At the critical moment when the world is joining forces to stop the spread of COVID-19, top epidemiologists of China and the United States exchanged views on Tuesday -- an encouraging sign for bilateral cooperation as well as the global battle against the still raging pandemic. In an online talk organized by the University of Edinburgh, leading Chinese respiratory disease expert Zhong Nanshan and top US infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci have called for more efforts to enhance global solidarity and cooperation to beat the deadly virus. Their remarks are a reflection of the growing global public consensus that the human race should join hands and work together to beat the pandemic, and that this is the only way out of the calamity. As the two medical heavyweights have noted, if the virus is stamped out in one country but allowed to spread uninhibited in other parts of the world, it will mutate at a fast pace through cross-border transmissions and rekindle the outbreak ... » Learn More about Top Chinese, US epidemiologists’ talk encouraging sign in global fight against pandemic

China's efforts to promote international cooperation against COVID-19 is not driven by any geopolitical agenda, nor does it come with any political strings, said Zhang Yesui, spokesman for the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress. The country's efforts are to protect people's lives, safety and health, Zhang said at a Thursday press conference in Beijing in response to a media question about whether such efforts are meant to expand China's geopolitical influence among developing countries. "In the face of the pandemic, nothing matters more than people's lives, safety and health," Zhang said. "We hope more countries who have the capacity to take action can provide vaccines to the international community, especially developing countries, in order to boost global efforts against COVID-19," Zhang said.
