For more than a year, the United States response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a miserable failure, both nationally and internationally, said a report released on Monday.
Chinese think tanks jointly released a report on Monday to reveal the truth about US' fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, the first such kind to comprehensively show how the US ended up being a failed country in the battle against coronavirus and how it continues to prompt virus origins tracing terrorism in the world by evading questions and covering up the truth.
Editor's note: Prof. William Kirby from Harvard University believes a longer historical perspective is essential for understanding the unique "China model" and its complexity. Efforts by Chinese leaders and citizens in the late Qing era, Republican period and history of the People's Republic of China, are some of the most essential roots that led to China's tremendous accomplishments today.

The operations of Chinese enterprises in Pakistan remain normal with both sides strengthening protection for Chinese nationals, a source close to the matter who asked to remain anonymous told the Global Times at a forum in Beijing on Thursday, adding that the Pakistani military has been providing protection for local Chinese enterprises including his company, and the Chinese embassy in Pakistan has warned Chinese nationals not to go out unless necessary, according to the source.
The name Rupert Murdoch has often been associated with the seamier side of journalism, the tabloid press, which is the usual media for making big waves through scandalous exposures – whether factual or fictional – often ending successful political careers. For true or false, the very aroma of "scandal" can spell the end of one's political career. Murdoch's "News of the World," a now defunct publication, thrived off of this type of "yellow journalism."

The report points out that there is a serious imbalance and fragmentation in the international distribution of vaccines. Among the countries where the proportion of fully vaccinated population exceeds 30%, European and American countries account for the majority. In contrast, vaccination rates in less developed countries and regions are generally low. The African continent has vaccinated less than 2% of the world. Only 0.9% of the population in low-income countries has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
During their June 16 Geneva summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly offered U.S. President Joe Biden the use of Russian military bases in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in order to coordinate actions vis-à-vis Afghanistan. The Kremlin's motives, of course, are not altruistic. Russia wants to prevent the United States from building its own bases in the region. But Putin's offer is tempting, and Biden may well find a way to accept it.
The new Atlantic Charter signed by U.S. President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on June 10 cements trade, travel, and tech ties between the two countries. It also renews the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom, speaking to commonalities between the longtime allies that may have been lost in recent decades. For instance, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower refused to support the British invasion of the Suez Canal and British Prime Minister Harold Wilson came under enormous pressure from the United States to send troops to Vietnam, a directive he repeatedly ignored. More recently, following a strong partnership during the second Gulf War, ties between the two countries became strained over foreign policy issues.

They asserted that such measures are bound to severely damage the development of Chinese tech companies and the economy.
