Afrasianet - The West has begun trying to view with some modesty the Chinese experience in fighting the Corona virus, and may have to seek help from it, including the United States, as Beijing begins offering help, especially to Italy.
China succeeded in a short period of containing the virus in a highly professional way that made President Chen Ji Ping visit Wuhan, the place where the Coruna virus erupted and infected more than sixty thousand.
A kind of reassurance prevailed in Europe and the rest of the world at the beginning of the spread of the virus in China, and countries did not notice the seriousness of the matter despite Beijing imposing a quarantine on the Wuhan region, the source of the virus and its surrounding areas, where the number exceeded 60 million people, and instead of a proactive policy approach, the world began The West criticizes the fragility of China's health infrastructure, and when it moved to Iran, the US administration used the virus to direct strong criticism of the country's political leadership.
China’s containment of Corona virus in Wuhan is typical, as it affected more than 60,000 people, which is ten times what it is in Italy now, ten thousand cases, and thirty times what it is in France until Wednesday evening, and the comparison reveals the success of the Chinese experiment, it has exposed more Of the 80,000 Chinese for the virus, 62,000 recovered and 3162 died, while in Italy 631 died, and only 12 out of 1700 infected people have recovered in France so far, and only eight people have recovered so far out of a thousand cases with 31 cases Death, although it is necessary to wait ten days to make a correct comparison.
Western countries began to look forward to the Chinese experience, and Beijing offered to help Italy, and China offered to send medical teams to Italy to help them combat the Corona virus, during a telephone conversation between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Italian counterpart Luigi de Mayo.
According to the Xinhua news agency, the Chinese minister expressed his hope that the bilateral relations will achieve further progress. The Italian minister said that his country was learning from the successful Chinese experience in fighting the virus and had taken strict measures to prevent its spread.
Without media hype, European and American doctors are constantly communicating with their Chinese counterparts to find out how they work, and American scientific journals have opened widely to spread the Chinese experience.
And pride prevents major countries such as France, Britain and Germany, and mainly the United States, to ask for Chinese assistance because it will be the first time that these countries that have the leadership in scientific research will resort to a country that was considered from the third world until yesterday. It is also in a difficult position. On the one hand, it prevents citizens in the West from benefiting from the Chinese experience in the fifth generation of the Internet, and now the door of Beijing is being used to benefit from fighting the Corona virus.
And in political discussion programs on French channels such as LCI, some of the participants focus on the Taiwan experience that surrounded the virus compared to South Korea and China, and the number of infected people did not exceed fifty, and they focus on the Chinese experience in making corona a virus that does not turn into a deadly epidemic in a country With a population of one billion and 300 million people.
There is a belief in France, Germany and Britain that these countries, together with others, will have to resort to the Chinese experience within the next few weeks to besiege the virus, and no one knows what President Donald Trump will do. Will he knock on the door of China to find out its experience, or will it leave the virus spread in his country?
