BEIJING, April 16 (China Daily/ANN) Experts said it is unfair and unreasonable to say that China should have acted earlier and more decisively against the COVID-19 outbreak because it is a brand-new disease that scientists barely understand and existing knowledge is constantly evolving.
China has been taking concrete actions against the outbreak since it emerged based on the understanding of the virus at the time, they added. The nation has also frequently updated the international scientific community on new developments, and these efforts should be recognized, rather than smeared from the vantage point of hindsight.
