China: Beijing Blasts False Claims Regarding HMPV Infection! (11.1.2025)

Speaking about the current influenza in China, Guo, the spokesman, said winter is usually the season with a higher frequency of respiratory infections in the Northern Hemisphere, and influenza viruses are one of the common pathogens.

“At the moment, the scale and intensity of infectious respiratory disease epidemics in China are lower than those of the same period last year,” Guo said.

He emphasized that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the health of its own people and foreign nationals in China.

In addition to the country’s sentinel surveillance of a wide range of acute respiratory infectious diseases and the publication of the results, China’s experts in disease control have also introduced scientific protective measures on many occasions, he noted.

China also maintains close communication with the WHO to share timely information on respiratory diseases, he added.

With over 350 million doses of the HPV vaccine administered globally, its safety and effectiveness are well-documented. “HPV vaccines are a game changer,” said Dr. Tim Armstrong, WHO Representative in the Lao PDR. “This campaign is a pivotal step in reducing cervical cancer cases and saving lives in the Lao PDR.”

Funding from Gavi, the Lao Government, and the Government of Australia underscores the shared commitment to expanding vaccine access and protecting young women across the nation. As Nadia Lasri of Gavi noted, “This initiative highlights the Lao PDR’s dedication to ensuring the well-being of its youth and preventing a preventable disease.”

Superbug - Linked to Rifaximin!

Australia: Research Confirms Common Antibiotic [Rifaximin] Linked to Rise of Dangerous Superbug! (24.10.2024)

Glen Carter, senior author of the study from the University of Melbourne and the Doherty Institute, said the study challenges the previously-held belief that rifaximin is low-risk for causing AMR.

“We’ve shown that rifaximin makes VRE resistant to daptomycin in a way that has not been seen before,” he said in a media release.

“It is also of concern that these daptomycin-resistant VRE might be transmitted to other patients in the hospital; a hypothesis that we are presently investigating.”

The authors of the new study said the findings highlight the critical need for effective genomics-based surveillance to detect emerging AMR.

Trump Prioritised the Rich During Covid-19!

China: US Anti-Vaccination Propaganda “Dangerous” to Humanity! (18.6.2024)

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a news conference in Beijing on Monday that such actions “only expose the hegemony and hypocrisy of the U.S.,” adding that the U.S. “should behave the way a major country should”.

“It has always been the practice of the U.S. to manipulate social media to spread false information, poison the public opinion environment, and smear the image of other countries. China firmly objects to this,” Lin said.

He added that when Washington wants to contain and suppress a country, it ignores the truth and “coordinates resources” to smear and discredit it. “This applies not only to the fabrication and dissemination of false information about Chinese vaccines, but also to various aspects, including defaming the popular Belt and Road Initiative and spreading rumours about the ‘overcapacity’ of China’s new energy vehicles.

“The international community should keep clear-eyed about such U.S. behaviour,” he said.

Taiwan - Part of China!

China: US Statement Encouraging “Taiwan’s Presence” at World Health Assembly Rejected! (3.5.2024)

“We once again urge the U.S. to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. Joint Communiqués, observe international law and the basic norms governing international relations, act on the U.S. leader’s commitment of not supporting ‘Taiwan independence,” two Chinas’ or ‘one China, one Taiwan,’ stop using the WHA to create confusion on Taiwan-related issues, and avoid sending wrong signals to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces,” said the spokesperson.

“The one-China principle has the extensive support of the international community. It is where global opinion trends and where the arc of history bends. There’s no denying or stopping of that trend. Any attempt to play the ‘Taiwan card’ and use Taiwan to contain China will meet the firm opposition of the international community and is doomed to failure,” the spokesperson added.

Anti-China Racism Must Be Confronted!

PRC: One-China Principle Confronts G-7 Racism! (23.4.2024)

Hong Kong has restored order and is set to thrive, and Xinjiang and Xizang enjoy social harmony, prosperity and stability where people of all ethnic groups live a happy life. A survey by a renowned international institution shows that the Chinese government’s satisfaction rate among the Chinese people has been above 90 percent for years running, he added.

Wang pointed out that as the largest developing country, China is committed to the welfare of the world while working hard to achieve its own development.

According to the World Bank, China’s contribution to global economic growth has long been higher than that of the G7 countries combined. China advocates an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, upholds the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and believes in open cooperation and mutual benefit.
