We\u2019re humans. We innovate together and we have to change the modern industrial economy together in a pretty dramatic fashion,\u201d the Microsoft founder said, in comments obtained by\u00a0AAP.<\/p>\n<p>As Gates maintains hopes for China\u2019s role in pushing forward humanity, the Chinese Communist Party continues to face scrutiny for its reporting and transparency around COVID-19 infection and death figures, with the Chinese state claiming a number over 60,000 deaths from the most recent outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>This figure has even prompted the state\u2019s lead propagandist, Hu Xijin, to question the data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe actual COVID-19 death toll in China since early December is definitely more than 60,000 because the official data only counted deaths at hospitals,\u201d Twitter was his platform.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Zhang, an expert in Asia&#8217;s political economy, pointed out some other figures that support a completely different picture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA report by UK-based analytics company Airfinity estimated 3.7 million COVID-19 infections and 25,000 COVID-19 deaths in a single day on Jan. 13, bringing the total death toll to 584,000 since Dec. 7, 2022,\u201d He wrote in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/the-covid-death-toll-myth-in-china_4991181.html\">The Epoch Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat data, experts fear, is just the tip of the iceberg. Some estimated that the death toll could reach 200 million to 400 million people, given the growing infection rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Gates: More collaboration between WHO, Governments<\/h2>\n<p>Gates also praised Australian authorities for keeping the infection rate low.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the things that stand out are that Australia and about seven other countries did population scale diagnostics early on and had quarantine policies \u2026 that meant you kept the level of infection low in that first year when there were no vaccines,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p>To combat future pandemics, he also called for greater collaboration between the governments and the World Health Organisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be doing, every five years, a comprehensive exercise at both country and regional levels of pandemic preparedness, and you need a global group that\u2019s scoring everybody,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of large campaigns communicating with the public about infectious disease, they [the WHO] have some of those skill sets, and their work was incredibly beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gates also met on Jan. 21 with Anthony Albanese (Australian Prime Minister) to discuss climate change and health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve admired your work and your contribution, not just financially, but in raising debates, including the need to deal with health issues,\u201d The Australian prime minister stated this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve just been through the pandemic, but we need to prepare for future health challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech billionaire Bill Gates Australia and the United States should take a more conciliatory approach when working with China in areas such as climate change.
