BEIJING: The fact that China is winning its war against COVID-19 is undeniable, even though some Western politicians are still smearing China for their own political interests.
It is a national consensus that China has put the domestic epidemic under control and the rising trend of imported COVID-19 cases has waned, while the order of work and life has resumed at a faster pace. For a country with 1.4 billion people, these are hard-won achievements worth of national pride.
According to a survey conducted by the Singapore-based research agency Blackbox Research and consumer intelligence platform Toluna, China gets top score as approximately 12,500 respondents among 23 economies rank their governments’ coronavirus responses across four key indicators: national political leadership, corporate leadership, community and media.
The largely satisfactory response from Chinese citizens in the survey reflects public confidence in the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) which puts people’s life and health first, China’s socialist system and its governance system.
The public confidence also comes from the government’s readiness to improve the major epidemic prevention and control mechanism and the national public health system, which are crucial to raising the ability to deal with major public health emergencies. Such courage to identify and fix governance shortcomings stands in sharp contrast to tactics adopted by some countries’ politicians who attempt to cover up their incompetence and shift blames to others. – Agencies
