Former Italian Ambassador to China Bai Danin
“Assisting multiple countries to curb the spread of the epidemic”
Our reporter Han Shuo
“New China’s restoration of its legal seat in the United Nations is a major decision in the history of the United Nations, and it is also an inevitable historical development.” In an interview with this reporter, the former Italian ambassador to China Alberto Bradanini said.
As a senior diplomat, Bradanini has devoted himself to diplomacy for nearly half a century. He has worked and lived in China for more than 10 years, and served as the Italian Commercial Counselor and Ambassador to China. As a result, he has a more familiar Chinese name-Bai Daning.
“After New China restored its legal seat in the United Nations, its role on the international stage has continued to increase, promoting world peace and development.” In Bai Daning’s view, this major event 50 years ago opened a new chapter in world development. “As we all know, China has played an important role in the UN Security Council. At present, unstable and uncertain factors that hinder world peace and development still exist. Only by carrying out equal and mutually beneficial international cooperation under the multilateral system can the common interests of all countries in the world be safeguarded.”
Bai Daning praised that China actively promotes unity and cooperation in the UN family and persists in speaking out for the vast number of developing countries. China has repeatedly called on all parties on the UN platform to unite in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic is a vivid example.
In March 2020, when the Italian epidemic was severe, a medical expert team sent by China arrived as soon as possible. They brought urgently needed medical supplies and equipment such as ventilators, electrocardiographs and masks, and shared patient care and treatment with local hospitals and experts. Experiences and practices in drug use, hospital control, public protection, etc. Bai Daning said, “The Chinese medical expert group shared valuable knowledge in the fight against the virus with Italy, which reflects the deep friendship between the two countries. The unity of Italy and China to fight the epidemic is an example of global bilateral cooperation.”
Currently, the epidemic is still spreading globally. Bai Daning said that countries should work together with the support of international organizations to deal with the challenges posed by the new crown pneumonia epidemic. “The virus knows no borders. In the face of the virus, all countries in the world are damaged, and no country can stay out of it. Only when all countries overcome the virus can we get rid of the epidemic. Many developing countries cannot obtain enough vaccines, which requires the international community. Help. Unfortunately, some countries have closed the door to cooperation in the fight against the epidemic for geopolitical purposes. China, on the contrary, has effectively controlled the epidemic in its own country while working with other countries and international organizations to fight the epidemic, showing sincerity The cooperative attitude reflects the responsibility and responsibility of major countries.”
In addition to assisting medical supplies, China also shared the expertise and valuable experience accumulated in the fight against the epidemic with many countries. This also impressed Bai Daning and was amazed. “China’s efforts have saved many lives and assisted many countries in containing the epidemic. The spreading momentum is obvious to all around the world.” He said that China provides vaccines to developing countries, promotes localized production of vaccines in other countries, and has shown great determination and strong action to promote international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic.
Although he no longer works in China, Bai Daning still keeps a close eye on Chinese topics. As the chairman of the Italian Center for Contemporary China Studies, the development and changes of China and China’s performance on the international stage are still the topics of Bai Daning’s most concern. Looking to the future, Bai Daning emphasized that in the post-epidemic era, the international community should pay more attention to developing countries and promote the common development of all countries in the world.
“China has eliminated absolute poverty and achieved great economic progress. This is a brilliant achievement. Its successful experience is worth learning and learning from other countries.” Bai Daning said that economic and social development will help defend true democracy and freedom, and the gap between the rich and the poor. Shrinking will make the planet more livable. What we need is a scenario where the world is prosperous, not a situation where one country is dominant. Emerging and developing countries also have the right to speak out, and they should also have the ability to safeguard their legal rights and enjoy the dividends of economic development. “On the international stage, China firmly upholds and practices multilateralism, resolutely opposes unilateralism, advocates peace and cooperation, and helps more developing countries enhance their international voice. This is essential for promoting world progress and development, and maintaining world peace and stability. Very important.” Bai Daning said.

When mankind faces common threats and challenges, cooperation is the right way. Onishchenko said that as friendly neighbors, Russia and China have supported each other in this anti-epidemic operation, setting a model for cooperation in responding to common threats.

The vaccines and protective equipment donated by China and the anti-epidemic experience shared by Chinese experts are of great significance to many countries in fighting the epidemic and building immune barriers.
“Some countries have tried to politicize the epidemic for their geopolitical purposes. Such behavior is not helpful in fighting the epidemic.” Figuereto said that China has always emphasized respect for science and spared no effort to protect people’s lives and health. “Now is a critical moment for the world to work together to fight the epidemic. China is the backbone of the global fight against the epidemic.”
Figuegredo believes that the consequences of the pandemic are still difficult to assess, and the impact of the public health crisis on the world economy will be lasting. To promote global economic recovery and maintain fairness and justice, we must defend multilateralism and seek common development, and we cannot only consider the interests of a few countries. “China has the ability to play a leading role as a major country, and promote the common development of developing countries through multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and the BRICS cooperation mechanism.”
China is a firm supporter and practitioner of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. “The achievement of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals cannot be achieved without China’s participation.” Figuereto praised China’s elimination of absolute poverty and the establishment of a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. This is an unprecedented feat in the history of poverty reduction in the world. China’s economic and social development has injected positive energy into the overall development of the world, and is a major impetus to the realization of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
In September last year, President Xi Jinping pointed out at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly that China will increase its nationally determined contributions, adopt more powerful policies and measures, and strive to reach its peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and strive for 2060. Before achieving carbon neutrality. “While realizing economic and social development, China pays great attention to the work in the field of environmental protection, puts forward the concept of sustainable development, and continues to promote the construction of ecological civilization, which shows that China takes environmental issues seriously.” Figuegredo said.
“From actively participating in the global fight against the epidemic to responding to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, China has always contributed its own strength to human health, security and development.” Figuegredo expressed his belief that China will continue to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind in the future. , And work together with the international community to promote world peace, security, prosperity and development.
