"Follow China's COVID-19 Experience... Up to 80% of the World's Population May Be Infected"

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Park Sun-mi] A warning has been issued that the world needs to follow the effective Chinese-style COVID-19 control methods, or else up to 80% of the global population could become infected.

On the 23rd, China's Global Times stated, "Countries need to put aside political differences and swiftly and decisively adopt the Chinese-style COVID-19 control model, which is recognized as the 'only' method," adding, "Only then can the spread of COVID-19 be stopped and millions of lives saved."

The newspaper reported, "The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases outside China has already exceeded 220,000 and is expected to surpass one million within a week," and "Experts point out that the increasingly uncontrollable situation is due to the inadequate measures taken by traditional powers such as the United States, who are trapped in political and ideological biases."

Furthermore, "Experts believe that if countries fail to effectively control COVID-19, up to 80% of the world's population could become infected," and "major European countries including the United States must make the best decisions suited to their own situations and accept China's experience," they urged.

They continued, "If the Chinese-style control model had been adopted a little earlier worldwide, COVID-19 would have been tamed by now," adding, "Now is not the time for debate but the time to follow China's experience. Like China, all confirmed and suspected cases must be isolated, and efforts should focus on patient treatment and reducing patient burden."
