Human Rights or Irresponsibility? Part 4 “ ’People in Western countries said China’s response was too authoritarian,’ said Yin Choi Lam, ‘Now compare it to places like Italy, would you rather have freedom or keep your life?’”. But are those human rights important as life? Those Chinese people who ran out of the US and Europe back to China voted with their actions. They would rather be isolated in China safely rather than facing the risk of getting the virus in other countries. I know many people in western countries don’t trust the data the Chinese governments released because they know at the very first beginning of the coronavirus, the Wuhan government tried to cover the truth. It’s true, but that was the Wuhan government. The officers of local governments in China sometimes want to make everything seem perfect under their control, they don’t want to report the virus to the central government. When the central government knew about the virus, it immediately took action, and the Wuhan government officer was punished due to his hiding the truth and slow action. After that, no local government dared to hide the information of the coronavirus. After a two-week visit in February, Dr. Aylward of WHO saw how China rapidly suppressed the coronavirus outbreak. When he was interviewed by NYT reporter Donald G Mcneil Jr., he said,“I know there’s suspicion, but at every testing clinic we went to, people would say, “It’s not like it was three weeks ago.” Hospitals had empty beds.” That was in February, and the new case in April once reached zero. If you still have doubts or want to know more about how China made this, you can read Mcneil Jr.’s NYT article. Sadly, western people and many governments are focusing on rumors that attack the Chinese government and let the prejudice blind their eyes, stop them learning the successful experience that China used to fight against the virus, and stop the world to unite and fight against the virus together at the very difficult time of all human beings. In South Korea, where the coronavirus was also slowed down successfully, very efficient methods are taken by the South Korea government to trace and track every person who has coronavirus or has contacted the confirmed patients using a system that they developed during the MERS outbreak. They use security cameras, GPS and cellphones to track and analyze how one person got infected with the virus, like police detectives doing their investigations. It can be very efficient.
