"Restoring distorted facts" Observations of a Chinese diplomat stationed in Paris
2020/04/12
On April 8, after 76 days in solitary confinement, Wuhan's confinement order was finally lifted, bringing its residents everywhere to the streets to celebrate their return to normal life. At the start of the fight against the epidemic, Chinese leaders proudly proclaimed "the victory of Wuhan, will be the victory of Hubei." The victory of Hubei, will be the victory of the Nation ». Thus, the deconfinement of Wuhan shows that China emerged victorious from its fight against the coronavirus epidemic.
However, it is more of a stage victory than a total victory because, at the same time, today abroad, the epidemic continues its mad race with 1.66 million people infected worldwide , with 5 countries with more than 100,000 cases, including 500,000 cases in the United States and 4 countries with more than 10,000 deaths. The terrible devastation caused by the development of this scourge on the lives and health of the affected populations, as well as on their societies and economies, inspires us with concern and compassion. Our wish is that all the countries of the world join their efforts to fight together against this common enemy and to triumph over it as soon as possible.
