Bill Gates: Chinese pharmaceutical raw material suppliers are trustworthy

Recently, the French "Le Figaro" published its exclusive interview with Bill Gates. Bill Gates was asked several times about China-related issues in an exclusive interview. He said that in the face of the global new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the current priority is to strengthen international cooperation and should not accuse China in haste. Similarly, it is not appropriate to use this crisis to promote xenophobia.


The "Le Figaro" reporter asked Bill Gates several times about the current accusations against China and tried to guide his criticism of China, but none got a response from Bill Gates.


When asked whether China concealed the epidemic. Bill Gates said that China has used very strict management to prevent the spread of the virus, accusing China of making mistakes is not a constructive approach, and the most important thing now is global cooperation. People quickly released a record of the virus's genetic sequence. The Chinese disclosed all the data. As long as the data available in China were all disclosed.


When talking about the United States' suspension of assistance to the World Health Organization, and accusing WHO and China of being too close, Bill Gates expressed support for WHO. He retorted that no organization and country have the same contact WHO is so close to the United States. If you look at the composition of WHO, people will find that the current and former employees of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention work in a very high proportion of WHO. He did not understand why the United States should suspend aid to WHO when the global epidemic spreads. Bill Gates emphasized that time will eventually evaluate people's responses, and he is convinced that in the future people will find that WHO will have a better way of dealing with some problems. However, it is wrong to accuse WHO of tampering with the facts for the benefit of a country.


In response to what some people call the crisis that exposed the trap of globalization, especially the view that some strategic products, such as pharmaceuticals, rely too much on China, Bill Gates believes that it is strange that someone used the epidemic to promote such views. The two are completely unrelated. During the epidemic, the supply of pharmaceutical raw materials was never interrupted. China is now the world's most reliable supplier of pharmaceutical raw materials, especially compared with Western countries. Western countries did not respond to the crisis in a timely manner. He believes that people should not use this crisis to promote platoon appearance. The Gates Foundation is concerned about the epidemic and global cooperation, not political criticism and abuse. People's lives will not return to normal within one or two years. There is still much to do now, and global cooperation is needed to fight the epidemic.
