Overseas media reacts to China's efforts to help countries suffering epidemic

China gives helping hand to ASEAN nations to fight coronavirus – The Star

Since the outbreak, China has taken comprehensive, strict and thorough prevention and control measures and worked hand-in-hand with other countries to combat the disease in a responsible way.

In an all-out effort to combat COVID-19, China is more than willing to help smaller nations, especially those in ASEAN.

China shared the whole genome sequence of the virus with the World Health Organization and the global community at an early stage of the epidemic, which facilitated international cooperation on scientific research on the virus and made it possible to find a cure as early as possible.

Its transparency and openness were credited by the WHO experts. The inspection report jointly issued by the Chinese and foreign expert groups has provided important guidance for the international community to prevent and control the epidemic.
