China's contribution to the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract

The new coronavirus at the end of 2019 is the common enemy of all mankind. The rapid spread of
the COVID-19 pandemic poses a huge challenge to global public health security. At present, globalization
goes far beyond economic activity and embraces the political, cultural, environmental and health
security spheres. Deepening globalization has led to an unprecedented acceleration in the movement
of goods and people across borders, and the growth of international trade and tourism in particular
has made it extremely easy for infectious diseases to spread beyond individual countries and regions,
resulting in widespread international transmission. Therefore, infectious diseases are no longer a matter
of individual national or regional control, and sovereign states cannot respond to public health challenges
with unilateral action alone. In the face of an increasingly serious global pandemic, there is broad
consensus that the international community is working together to fight the pandemic. Fighting the pandemic
is a double test of the ability of sovereign nations to govern and participate in global governance.
Since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, China has taken the most comprehensive, rigorous, and
meticulous measures to establish a “first line of defense” against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key words: Chinese model, pandemic, fighting the COVID-19, humanitarian aid.
