China Should Pursue Four Principles as Coronavirus Hits the World

疫情肆虐全球中国当行“四个坚持”

The year 2020 is of pivotal importance for China to secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects,achieve the great goal of national rejuvenation,and move closer to global center stage.Also,the year 2020 is crucial for the international community to promote a new round of globalization and perfect global governance.However,the unexpected outbreak of COVID-19 has paralyzed the whole of humanity in an unprecedented manner.The“political virus”of beggar-thy-neighbor policy,mutual hostility and isolation,joined by the“spiritual plague”of scapegoating,defamation and instigating confrontation,has been causing turbulence to the world order.Facing such a chaotic international situation,to be able to draw on advantages and avoid disadvantages in this era of profound changes unseen in a century and forge ahead despite twists and turns,China has to remain committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind,actively participating in the global anti-epidemic cooperation,promoting construction of the Belt and Road Initiative,and advocating policy communication and people-to-people exchanges.
