Chinese Media: "China and Korea's COVID-19 Response Appropriate"

[Asia Economy Reporter Sung Kiho] China's state-run media evaluated that China's response to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was appropriate and that South Korea also implemented successful measures.

On the 15th, Xinhua News Agency stated this in an international commentary titled 'Confidence is Needed in Global Epidemic Control.'

Xinhua News Agency noted the recent significant spread of COVID-19 in Europe and the United States, arguing that "at this moment when dark clouds are approaching, only active mobilization of the public and scientific epidemic prevention can minimize losses."

The agency analyzed, "Confidence comes from China's successful practices in controlling the epidemic," adding, "Although COVID-19 exploded in China, China responded timely and appropriately and accumulated abundant epidemic prevention experience."

It continued, "Similar experiences were also seen in Singapore, South Korea, and others who were relatively early affected by the COVID-19 shock," mentioning that "the World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized, as seen from the experiences of China, South Korea, and Singapore, that effective epidemic prevention, reducing social activities, and mobilizing residents to prevent the spread of the epidemic and save lives is possible."
