Adhering to the concept of the community of human destiny, we will unite a strong synergy to overcome the epidemic.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the G-20 leaders’ special summit on COVID-19 that major infectious diseases are the enemies of all mankind. The COVID-19 epidemic is spreading all over the world, which poses a great threat to people’s life safety and health, and poses a great challenge to global public health safety. The situation is worrying. At present, what the international community needs most is firm confidence, Qi Xin’s concerted efforts, United response, all-round strengthening of international cooperation, cohesion of a strong joint force to overcome the epidemic, and joint efforts to win this human struggle against major infectious diseases. In the face of the epidemic, as a community of destiny in which you have me and I have you, all countries in the world should act quickly, unite the strong synergy of unity, cooperation and common response, and protect the health and peace of the common home of mankind.

  1, gather together to fight the epidemic.

  At the critical moment when the global situation of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control is becoming more and more severe, the G20 leaders’ first special summit meeting in response to COVID-19 by video released a positive signal of joint prevention and control by the international community, and opened the world agenda of building a prevention and control cooperation mechanism, which indicates that the global joint efforts to fight the epidemic will move from value consensus to pragmatic operation.

  Global joint efforts to fight the epidemic is an inevitable choice to effectively curb the spread of the epidemic. At present, the COVID-19 epidemic is spreading rapidly around the world. According to the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 pandemic has not been effectively contained, and it is growing at an exponential rate. If the international community fails to take joint measures, millions of people may be killed. At the same time, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of world economic recession is increasing, the international financial market is in turmoil, the unemployment rate in some countries is rising rapidly, social panic is spreading, and populism and trade protectionism are on the rise. A series of secondary disasters caused by the epidemic are causing more and more concern and anxiety. No country can stay out of it and be immune to it.

  Global efforts to fight the epidemic urgently need the concerted efforts of the international community. The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 epidemic in the global scope are different in time, region and degree. This determines that countries must strengthen policy coordination, joint prevention and control, and strengthen communication and sharing of relevant information. On the one hand, the international community should strengthen information sharing, carry out cooperation in drug and vaccine research and development and epidemic prevention, effectively prevent the cross-border spread of the epidemic, and especially work together to help developing countries with weak public health systems improve their coping capacity. On the other hand, with the rapid spread of the epidemic, the demand of countries for medical and health protection and other related materials has surged sharply, which requires the global industrial chain, especially the hub countries, to deepen capacity cooperation, dig deep into capacity potential and achieve the most efficient supply. At the same time, in view of the serious impact of the epidemic on the world economy, countries should also strengthen the adjustment and docking of macroeconomic policies to ensure the openness and stability of the global market and boost the confidence of the world economy.

  2, joint efforts to fight the epidemic need to build consensus.

  The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic shows once again that human beings are a community of shared destiny. How to effectively curb the spread of the epidemic and prevent and resolve the secondary disasters of the epidemic is a major issue related to the interests of all countries and the future and destiny of mankind. At a critical juncture, is Qi Xin working together to protect the homeland, or is it selfish, narrow-minded and malicious? Is it to join hands to fight the epidemic and overcome the difficulties together, or to create rumors and stigma? It not only tests the governance ability and responsibility of all countries, but also tests the collective rationality and moral spirit of mankind.

  Common challenges need to be met together. Epidemic diseases, regardless of national boundaries and races, are the common enemies of mankind. With the rapid flow of people, goods and information, epidemic diseases can easily break through the time and space boundaries and national boundaries, quickly spread from one country to many countries, and detonate the global public health crisis. What’s more, compared with many diseases, COVID-19 virus has stronger infectivity and higher pathogenicity, which can spread to all parts of the world through individual personnel flow, resulting in a huge global and random risk, and the prevention and control is more difficult than ever. Only by working together can we win the battle. All countries in the world should actively carry out international joint prevention and control from the height of building a community of human destiny to jointly safeguard global public health security and human health and well-being.

  Common goals require unity and cooperation. Building a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance, beauty and cleanliness is the common goal and beautiful pursuit of people of all countries, and it is also the rich connotation inherent in building a community of human destiny. The sudden epidemic not only directly threatens the global public health security, but also profoundly affects the economic and social development and prosperity of all countries. As a result, the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic has gone beyond the field of public health and evolved into an overall war and a blocking war to safeguard the prosperity and development of the world and protect human civilization. The international community must establish an effective cooperation mechanism and strengthen communication and coordination in personnel management, scientific research, experience sharing and material production, so as to cope with the crisis and win victory through cooperation.

  The common destiny needs to be in the same boat. There is only one earth for mankind, and all countries coexist in one world. The earth is the common home of mankind and the only home of mankind so far. The objective living conditions and the era environment of "you have me and I have you" make the future and destiny of every nation and country closely linked, with one glory and one loss. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized, the occurrence of the COVID-19 epidemic once again shows that mankind is a community of shared destiny. In the era of economic globalization, such a major emergency may not be the last time, and various traditional and non-traditional security issues will continue to bring new challenges. The international community must establish a sense of community of human destiny, help each other, work together to meet the risk challenges and build a better home on earth.

  3. Make China contribution to joint efforts to fight the epidemic.

  China is an advocate of the concept of community of human destiny, and also the most powerful promoter and practitioner of this concept. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed, "I advocate co-construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ And building a community of human destiny is to promote exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations and mutually beneficial cooperation among countries, and to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance, cleanliness and beauty. " In this war without smoke, China has been actively supporting the international community’s anti-epidemic efforts with practical actions, and has provided assistance to international organizations including the World Health Organization and more than 80 countries. This is a vivid practice of the concept of a community of human destiny. The speed of China has won precious time for world epidemic prevention, China has built the first line of defense to control the spread of global epidemic, and the practice of China has set a benchmark for human beings to deal with major public health emergencies. The strategic deployment and policy measures adopted by China in the process of epidemic prevention and control, as well as the universally recognized achievements, have greatly demonstrated the urgency and necessity of building a community of human destiny and contributed valuable spiritual wealth to the global joint efforts to fight the epidemic.

  Maintain the heroic spirit of facing difficulties. Difficulties inspire fighting spirit and challenge the spirit. The Chinese nation has experienced many hardships in its history, and has never been crushed. Instead, it has become more frustrated and brave. It is because we always have the belief of winning in the face of any difficulties and obstacles, and dare to struggle and win. The more difficult and dangerous, the more forward we are. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core United and led the people, braved difficulties and faced difficulties, put forward the general requirements of firm confidence, helping each other in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy in time, made clear the overall goal of resolutely curbing the spread of the epidemic and resolutely winning the prevention and control of the epidemic, and quickly launched the people’s war, the overall war and the prevention and control of the epidemic. In the face of the complicated and severe global anti-epidemic situation, all countries in the world should launch a "life-and-death struggle" with the new crown pneumonia virus with heroic spirit to fight hard and fight to the end.

  Adhere to the concept of win-win cooperation. Peace, development, cooperation and win-win are the trend of the times, and they are also the basic principles that must be observed in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. During the epidemic period, China, in an open and transparent manner, informed the World Health Organization at the first time, shared information with other relevant countries at the first time, and shared the whole gene sequence of the virus to the whole world at the first time, and actively carried out all-round cooperation with the international community. At present, China has shared many technical documents on epidemic prevention and control with more than 100 countries and more than 10 international organizations and regions around the world, and translated the 7th edition of COVID-19’s diagnosis and treatment plan and the 6th edition of prevention and control plan into many languages for the reference of relevant countries and international organizations, which has effectively enhanced the global anti-epidemic ability and won wide acclaim from the international community. The epidemic is our common enemy. In the face of this struggle, which concerns the common interests of all mankind, all countries in the world should uphold the concept of win-win cooperation, strengthen policy communication and coordination, and work together to set up the strictest joint prevention and control network to fully curb the spread of the epidemic. It is necessary to gather the strength of all countries, work together to speed up scientific research on drugs, vaccines and testing, and strive to achieve breakthrough results that benefit all mankind at an early date. It is necessary to explore the establishment of a regional public health emergency liaison mechanism to improve the emergency response speed of public health emergencies.

  Demonstrate the mission responsibility of a big country. It is the common responsibility of all countries in the world to build a community of human destiny and meet global risk challenges. Among them, big countries play a pivotal role and should take the lead in taking on greater responsibilities and play a mainstay role. In this anti-epidemic process, China took the lead in donating US$ 20 million to WHO, sending medical expert groups to some countries and regions with severe epidemic situation and weak health systems to provide anti-epidemic experience support and medical material assistance, and establishing an online knowledge center for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, which is open to all countries, making great contributions to the global anti-epidemic and showing the world feelings of upholding justice and helping each other in the same boat. Fighting the COVID-19 epidemic is a struggle, which requires the firm confidence, unity and cooperation of all mankind. As long as we help each other in the same boat, we will be able to completely overcome the epidemic and write a magnificent chapter in the community of human destiny.
