BEIJING (Xinhua): Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday (Nov 21) proposed constructing a "global firewall" against Covid-19, reducing tariffs and barriers as well as tapping into the booming digital economy to battle the pandemic and reboot the flagging world economy.
Addressing the Group of 20 (G20) Riyadh Summit via video link, Xi said the group has once again played an "important and irreplaceable" role in the global war against the pandemic which has "impacted the world in a more profound way than the 2008 global financial crisis did."
