No country can detach itself from such a severe pandemic. China has helped solve the pressing needs of many virus-hit countries with assistance and experience, thus contributing to mankind's fight against the contagion. China is never on its agenda to make aid a ploy to pursue influence.
BEIJING, April 4 -- As the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic is taking a heavy toll globally, China has provided much-needed medical supplies and treatment experience to help many countries defeat the fatal virus.
However, certain critics and media have tried to politicize China's sincere and substantial assistance, alleging "politics of generosity," "mask diplomacy" and "propaganda."
Some of them said "there is a geopolitical component, including a struggle for influence through spinning and the politics of generosity."
It should be noted that some Western politicians just overthink and gauge the heart of a gentleman with their own standards. China has been offering emergency humanitarian aid to other countries, especially hard-hit or inadequately prepared nations to save more lives, to jointly control the global pandemic as early as possible.
