They also spoke positively of China's readiness in sharing anti-virus experience with other countries and its efforts in boosting international cooperation, saying such moves help mitigate the impact of the pandemic.

The Chinese government and people have taken swift and comprehensive measures after the outbreak of the disease and have made great sacrifice, which demonstrated the strength and strong unity of the Chinese people, said Nina Ivanova, chairwoman of the Belarusian Society of Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries.

Pierre Picquart, a French expert on China at the University of Paris VIII, said that China has offered a flawless example and method for other nations, which reminds the world that humankind lives in a community with a shared future.

Public health security is a common challenge facing humanity, he said, and China has repeatedly declared its readiness to work with the international community, including France, to strengthen international cooperation in the prevention and control of pandemics and to build a common health community for humanity.

With decisiveness, speed, uncommon political will, scientific approach, and huge sacrifices, China has given the world time to prepare for this pandemic, meanwhile providing inspirational hope, crucial lessons, and an exemplary example, said Wilson Lee Flores, a columnist with the Philippine Star newspaper.
