《2020中国战“疫”日志（第二辑）（英）》：
So, what has China done?
"This approach, what we call an 'all-of-government, all-of-society' approach, very old-fashioned, too old in some ways, has prevented at least tens of thousands, but probably hundreds of thousands of cases of COVID-19 in China, which is an extraordinary achievement;' said Dr Aylward.
This "old-fashioned" method had been adopted by peoples fighting plagues around the world throughout history to control the sources of infection, cut off transmission routes, and protect vulnerable groups. Today, when a country of 1.4 billion people adopts the same method, it shows the decisiveness of the government and the solidarity of the people.
Dr Aylward noted, "It wasn't easy because what I didn't mention on this slide [of the epidemic curve] is every one of these lines represents a huge decision by policy makers and politicians in this country and leaders to actually change the shape with big measures such as the suspension of travel, the stay-at-home advisories, and other incredibly difficult measures; to make decisions about, but also to get a population to follow. And that's why, again, the role of the individual here in China is so important as well."
When China has seen a positive trend in epidemic control and its economic and social development is quickly returning to normal, the rest of the world is suffering from complicated and aggravating developments of the epidemic. What can China do for the world?
What China can give back is not limited to medical supplies, but something more important： the invaluable experience of a month-long fight against the virus by its 1.4 billion people. "The world needs the experience and materials of China to be successful in battling this corona-virus disease. China has the most experience in the world with this disease, and it's the only country to have turned around serious large-scale outbreaks," said Dr Aylward.
On March 26, China's President Xijinping attended the G20 Extraordinary Leaders' Summit on COVID-19 via video link in Beijing. In his address to the meeting, Xi said, "Major infectious diseases are the common enemy of humanity. As COVID-19 ravages the world, it poses a tremendous threat to people's health and lives and a grave challenge to global public health. The situation is worrying. What is most needed now is confidence, unity and coordination on the part of the international community, and strengthened international cooperation to foster greater synergy so that humanity as one can win the battle against COVID-19."
