Chinese President Xi called for greater world cooperation against COVID-19 and pledged an additional 1 billion vaccines to other countries during a virtual gathering of the World Economic Forum. He also urged other powers to discard a “Cold-War mentality.”
His comments come as tensions between the United States and China have simmered on dossiers as diverse as Taiwan, intellectual property, trade, human rights and the South China Sea.
“A zero-sum approach that enlarges one’s own gain at the expense of others will not help,” he added. “The right way forward for humanity is peaceful development and win-win cooperation.” By comparison, managers of the U.N.-backed COVAX program to ship vaccines to developing countries announced over the weekend that it has now delivered 1 billion vaccine doses.
