We need to reduce tariffs and barriers, and explore the liberalization of trade of key medical supplies. We need to further harmonize policies and standards and establish \u201cfast tracks\u201d to facilitate the orderly flow of personnel.\u00a0China has proposed a global mechanism on the mutual recognition of health certificates based on nucleic acid test results in the form of internationally accepted QR codes. We hope more countries will join this mechanism.\u00a0We also support the G20 in carrying out institutionalized cooperation and building global cooperation networks to facilitate the flow of personnel and goods.An\u00a0investigation\u00a0from The New York Times found that the tracking software used by China \u201cdoes more than decide in real time whether someone poses a contagion risk.\u201d\u201cIt also appears to share information with the police, setting a template for new forms of automated social control that could persist long after the epidemic subsides,\u201d the report added.\u201cThe Times\u2019s analysis found that as soon as a user grants the software access to personal data, a piece of the program labeled \u2018reportInfoAndLocationToPolice\u2019 sends the person\u2019s location, city name and an identifying code number to a server,\u201d the report continued. \u201cThe software does not make clear to users its connection to the police. But according to China\u2019s state-run Xinhua news agency and an official police social media account, law enforcement authorities were a crucial partner in the system\u2019s development.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
