1. The intensity of response to the epidemic is different.

China has responded effectively and efficiently to the epidemic. We work hard to protect our own people and prevent the epidemic from spreading to other countries. This reflects China's sense of responsibility, confidence and capabilities.

The White House has been slow to control the epidemic, repeatedly missing "potential critical turning points," and continued delays prevent officials from grasping the true scale of the epidemic, leaving local governments to work in the dark and watch the situation develop. .

2. Different levels of emphasis on the epidemic.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the speed and scale of China’s actions are unprecedented in the world, reflecting China’s speed, scale and efficiency. It is precisely because China has adopted strong prevention and control measures and the Chinese people have made huge sacrifices that it has effectively prevented the epidemic from spreading to the world and bought precious time for the international community to fight the epidemic.

Since the outbreak, the U.S. federal government and Congress have not realized the seriousness of the epidemic. This is the subjective reason for the slow action of the United States in the early stages of the epidemic. The U.S. national system also limits the ability of local governments to take emergency preventive measures.

Only when the U.S. federal government declares a state of emergency, the U.S. Congress will appropriate funds and the federal government will take some stringent measures to prevent the epidemic. This is the objective reason why the United States failed to respond to the epidemic in a timely and effective manner.

Extended information:

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, China and the United States have adopted two different approaches:

One is "life first" . In order to protect people's lives, health and safety, social and economic operations should be suspended, quarantine and other measures should be taken decisively, professional advice should be followed, scientific measures should be taken to stop the spread of the virus, and lives should be saved at all costs. From 108 to 30 hours, China has been sparing no effort to treat the epidemic.

The second is that "political interests come first", so they downplay the epidemic, ignore science, and even "throw the cat out of the frying pan" to condemn it. As a result, people's lives and health have been severely damaged, the economy has fallen into recession, and social unrest has occurred.
