Take a close look at this #CPC badge: #为人民服务
--Serve the people.
This is the fundamental goal & mission of the CPC. It explains why China and the US acted so differently in response to #COVID19.
We don't pursue "China first". We do pursue better lives for the Chinese people and people across the world. What will prevail in the end is #justice and common good.
China is on the side of humanity's shared interest, while the #US politicians only serve the ruling class and the interest groups behind. As #Stiglitz put it, "of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%" .
With the #CPC's leadership, 800 mln people in China have been lifted out of poverty, 70% of the world. While in the #US, the 5% of the world population accounts for 20% of #COVID19 cases worldwide.

FM Qin Gang co-chaired the 4th meeting of the Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation between China and Indonesia and met the press with Indonesian FM Retno Marsudi in Jakarta.
Retno said Indonesia maintains that ASEAN should not be a proxy of any external force and should not be caught in the contest of major countries. Indonesia will fulfill its responsibility as Chair of ASEAN and continue to strengthen cooperation with China.
Qin stressed that China fully supports Indonesia in playing its role as Chair of ASEAN. A new Cold War and great power competition should not take place in the Asia-Pacific region, and countries in the region should not be forced to choose sides.
For a safer world, the sovereignty & territorial integrity of all countries must be respected. Power politics & hegemony are a recipe for global instability and do the biggest damage to global peace. The principle of sovereignty is the cornerstone of the contemporary intl order.
For a safer world, disputes should be peacefully resolved through dialogue and consultation. However difficult the situation is, peace should be given a chance.
For a safer world, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be upheld.
The claim that #China is on the wrong side of history is overbearing. It is the #US that is on the wrong side of history.
If the #US had honored its assurances, refrained from repeatedly expanding #NATO and pledged that NATO would not admit #Ukraine, and had not fanned the flames by supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, the situation would have been very different.
If the #US had truly abided by the purposes and principles of the #UNCharter, how could it have staged wars without remorse for the people of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria ...?
"This is not the outcome we sought to prevent," said #US State Department spokesman on the current #Ukraine war. Just a slip of the tongue?
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard might have told the truth: "President Biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with #Russia by doing something very simple, guaranteeing that #Ukraine will not become a member of #NATO, ···
because if #Ukraine became a member of NATO, that would put US and NATO troops directly on the doorstep of Russia, which as Putin has laid out, would undermine their national security interest. Why doesn't President Biden and NATO leaders actually just say that and guarantee it?
