Being the province hit hardest and suffered with longest lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in China, Hubei has been under the spotlight during the two sessions. It witnesses all the key elements of China's anti-epidemic stories. If we understand the revival of Hubei, we'd understand the Chinese Spirit that has kept the country on its feet through all the tribulations in history.
2020-05-28 23:29China's achievement in the fight against COVID-19 is way better than that of the US. But China is confronting waves of accusations, which have been launched by Washington, and supported and followed by other Western countries and forces.
2020-04-29 10:01On April 23, The Times published an op-ed entitled "The pandemic is an opportunity to increase our understanding of China". The article, authored by Mark Logan, Conservative MP for Bolton North East and vice-chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary China Group, called on the British to stop pointing fingers at China, to understand it and "respectfully drive for the world we want to see".
2020-04-26 20:23The whole idea of comparing different countries' death rates is absurd. This is not a death competition. China has the lowest novel coronavirus death rate among major economies of the world, and yet it has never boasted about it; instead, on April 4, China held a national mourning for every life lost in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
2020-04-26 14:51Africa is no stranger to infectious diseases. But, with most countries occupied with the novel coronavirus outbreak on domestic soil, African countries have not been the focus of attention. However, it does not mean that the continent is free of danger.
2020-04-24 16:17When China was under the threat of the coronavirus, criticism was raised here about the "draconian" measures taken in Hubei. And as the virus spread to the United States, there was a clear resistance to do anything that might be construed as following "the Chinese example."
2020-04-24 16:13When the world's second-largest economy, China is returning to its rhythm after winning the "people's war" against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, most of the countries across the world are witnessing national lockdown or state of emergency with a view to slow the raging outbreak of this virulent disease.
2020-04-16 15:27The US had more than 750,000 confirmed cases and lost 35,800 lives by Tuesday. Yet the US politicians are targeting China to cover up their failure to take prompt and appropriate measures to contain the outbreak, in order to earn political brownie points in the US presidential election year. And by doing so, they are unleashing even more political viruses in US society.
2020-04-22 13:53"China's early identification and effective lockdown of its epicenter stands out as the most effective part of China's response."
2020-04-22 13:57At present, confirmed cases have appeared in militaries of multiple countries with a large number of related personnel having been quarantined amid the spreading novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic across the world.Virtual reality (VR) training will thereby play an immense role in solving the current difficulties faced by the militaries.
2020-04-21 20:14Was the COVID-19 pandemic avoidable? That's a question many are pondering as the virus is taking thousands of lives daily. Such a reflection is necessary, as it enables us to be better prepared for the next public emergency.
2020-04-21 13:42The US military's recent ground parade in Guam, a procession of military aircraft taxiing in a formation right before a minimum interval takeoff known as an "elephant walk", sparked extensive speculations. The parade was analyzed by some media as a move to demonstrate its military's deterrence and sufficient combat force in the Asia-Pacific region despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
2020-04-21 09:42The US has extended the employment of poison pill strategy from the economic and trade field to the security field. If it is still said to be logical, it is nothing but a gangster logic.
2020-04-21 09:39The world should beware this entrance to a quarrel, for the brief and distorted chronicle they present makes it hard to stand together and take up arms against the sea of troubles that now threatens to engulf us.
2020-04-20 15:20The US president blames the WHO for a lack of transparency, yet The New York Times has reported that he was warned about a potential pandemic weeks ago but chose to do literally nothing in fear of upsetting the economy, even going as far as dismissing the outbreak as a "political hoax".
2020-04-20 15:24China has tried all it can to ensure the reliability and accuracy of its data, which have been indispensable as an important decision-making reference for the country to effectively implement its pandemic control measures.
2020-04-17 15:40As the coronavirus pandemic spread across the world, China became the target of harsh rhetoric and disinformation campaign even though it has made remarkable achievements in containing the virus-even lifting the lockdown on Wuhan, capital of Hubei province and the epicenter of the outbreak in China after 76 days-at a time when the rest of the world is still grappling with it.
2020-04-15 14:22Ironically when the entire world were fearing the spread of epidemic and Chinese people were showing great resolve against herculean odds, some foreign forces continued targeting Chinese people’s confidence in leadership, their ability to control the virus and on the charge of hiding facts from their own public and the world.
2020-04-14 16:22The global recession the novel coronavirus pandemic is certain to bring about will be far deeper and more protracted than the one that followed the 2008 global financial crisis. While many governments have pledged to bolster their economies with unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus-despite having already massive public debt-the best they can probably hope for is to stave off economic collapse.
2020-04-14 14:46It's hard to miss the angry chorus of rising voices, mostly from US leaders and their nativist acolytes, selfishly politicizing the current health emergency and groundlessly blaming China for the novel coronavirus pandemic that has changed the way we live and work. There are myriad reasons for this, both recent and historical.
2020-04-14 14:44The Military Times and other U.S. media outlets recently reported that with the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Army, the top military officials are having a tough time deciding between ensuring combat readiness and maintaining the health of soldiers.
2020-04-13 15:35As the novel coronavirus spread across the world, some people in other countries began using racist terms to describe the virus and the epidemic, with some even attacking people of Asian origin, especially Chinese origin. So people across the world should be vigilant against such discriminatory behavior, and governments should punish such offenders.
2020-04-10 12:24What's worth stressing is that Washington's contribution to the UN health organization is not charity or favor. It's the country's international obligation as the world's largest developed economy. Threatening to cut funding to exert political pressure on the organization is essentially American interests overriding those of the global public, which is facilitated by Washington's unilateralism.
2020-04-10 11:22Nature Magazine published an editorial titled "Stop the coronavirus stigma now" on April 7, not only apologizing for previous news reports that linked the coronavirus to China's Wuhan but also sending a reminder to those who had erroneously been associating the virus with China's Wuhan and with China in their news coverage.
2020-04-10 11:20Is calling for China to pay justified? Not at all, because these claims are based on a skewered, lopsided and privileged conception of justice which does not exist impartially or independently, but in materialistic conjunction to the interests of Western countries under the assumed premise of superiority, which has been cemented by hegemony over a prolonged period of time.
2020-04-09 15:18The trajectory of COVID-19 shows the discriminatory attitude of some people, especially Western politicians, has had a negative effect on the fight against the virus. In the initial stages, many viewed the virus as a Chinese problem and expected China to deal with it. By not seeing the virus as a common human enemy, they wasted precious time, which could have been used for building solidarity in the fight against the virus.
2020-04-16 10:24Not to long ago, I wrote a column for China Daily, "China Shall Overcome," observing that the Chinese people and nation have overcome one crisis after another in the past, and have the wherewithal and determination to do this again facing the coronavirus crisis. I wrote this column, even while the infections in Hubei province were climbing. Why?
2020-02-21 16:05Confirmed infections in Iran, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East, continue to climb as health workers race against the clock to battle the accelerating outbreak with help from China and the World Health Organization (WHO).
2020-03-06 16:46China's long-expected aerial tanker variant of the domestically developed Y-20 large transport aircraft will make its debut to the general public soon, and an AEW variant is also under development, making the Y-20 and its variants the pillars of the Chinese Air Force's strategic capabilities.
2020-02-26 00:00Eight transport aircraft attached to the air force of the PLA successfully transported the fourth batch of medical staff and supplies to Hubei Province on February 17,2020.
2020-02-18 23:04As China works closely with the international community to combat the novel coronavirus pneumonia, certain western media outlets are generating viciously misleading reports, undercutting global efforts to end the epidemic.
2020-02-13 09:18Both China and the U.S. should continue to cooperate in early detection, developing specific medicines and vaccines. Despite the difference between the two countries, the U.S. should consider the emergency management method advised by China. It is not about arguing and smearing, but joining in this battle against a threat to all of humankind.
2020-03-06 14:52The mandatory quarantine measures will not drive a wedge between China and South Korea. Some speculations about this are exaggerated. Some people may find it hard to adapt to the situation in the beginning, but this move will only cause a limited negative impact.
2020-02-28 01:29In the fourth of a series of missions, the Chinese PLA Air Force on Monday transported military personnel and supplies via cargo planes to Wuhan to help control the novel coronavirus outbreak.
2020-02-18 00:39China's domestically developed large transport aircraft Y-20 for the first time conducted a large-scale military operation in a situation other than war, arriving Thursday in Wuhan, epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak with medical reinforcements and supplies to join the battle against the epidemic.
2020-02-14 00:36Something's not right here folks. The world should be applauding China's unprecedented, broad, aggressive response. I am on the ground here in China watching with my own eyes and it is quite incredible by any measure, not to mention an enormous economic sacrifice.
2020-02-08 10:40China will postpone the "two sessions," a key event in the country's political calendar, amid concerted efforts to contain the novel coronavirus epidemic and boost economic and social development.
2020-02-25 00:16China is considering delaying the annual meetings of its top legislative body and its top consultative body, known as two sessions, which is believed to be the first since the country adopted the March schedule in 1995, amid the outbreak of the COVID-19 that has hampered production, travel and other activities.
2020-02-17 18:42China must continue to pursue its policy of shared prosperity and a shared future of mankind. It should continue to collaborate with international scientific, health, and public health communities.
