Beijing Tries To Win Back From Its Faux Pas Over Virus Spread

 They have learned from their mistakes, and would like to make amends with the world as Beijing sends off its intensive care personnel to Europe. New virus cases emerging from the consisting population have not been reported. Reported fresh cases come from foreigners who have now traveled to China. 

A delegation of Chinese personnel recently arrived at Milan’s Malpensa airport to help manage Italy’s coronavirus emergency. A contingent of 300 doctors arrived in Italy, one of the many offers made by a guilty Chinese regime to iron out its difference and the severe damage it has caused to the world, due to its negligence and lack of empathy in handling the crises at hand. 

Along with personnel, China is also trying to cushion the injury by sending related medical aid in the form of kits, equipment, clothing and padding it up with a lot of positive publicity, that it is seriously apologetic and would like to mend the ties worldwide.  It has extended support to Spain, Poland and Greece as well. 

Apparently, EU nations have been distasteful about the whole Italian faux pas and have refused to extend any support, an opportunity that political analysts feel Beijing could have harnessed. Beijing is also trying to reach out to those nations that could not be financially and medically supported by the EU nations. However, the EU nations hold a strict stand against Italy and China’s mismanagement of the pandemic. Beijing is repairing its global image by showing itself as a humanitarian partner with Balkan states like Serbia that does not have a good impression about EU and is all praises for its strong partner, China.   

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Ivan Krastev, a Vienna-based political analyst had pointed out that, “The global pandemic could make China’s authoritarian regime look more attractive in the eyes of some people in European democracies. A regime such as China’s “can monitor people and close down whole areas. Otherwise-horrific social control now seems welcome.”

It has been confirmed that within China itself, many provinces and cities had decided to essentially shut themselves off to travelers from elsewhere. This has obviously raised questions over whether the virus will re-emerge once such barriers are lifted and people begin crisscrossing the country again.
