Focus on saving lives

Liu Hongcai, member of the CPPCC National Committee

The recently proposed US legislation ignores the facts and attacks China's political system. The COVID-19 pandemic is a natural disaster, and China is also a victim. The COVID-19 virus does not care about political systems or ideologies. China, a developing country with 1.4 billion people, got the situation under control in a short period thanks to the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China and the steadfast unity of the nation.

I urge US politicians to stop lying to themselves and focus more of their energy on saving lives, rather than blaming China for their incompetence. Smearing cannot save lives, but cooperation with various countries can, including with China.
