The eight-member expert team was received by Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Bai Tian and officials from Malaysia’s Ministry of Health upon their arrival at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Bai said the expert team was organised by the National Health Commission of China and made up of eight individuals selected by the Guangdong Province health commission.
“They are specialised in different fields such as respirology, intensive care, psychiatry, infectious diseases, data analysis, virology and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
“Some of them had joined the fight against Covid-19 in Hubei Province,” Bai said.
He said the team will share experience and expertise on fighting Covid-19 with their Malaysian counterparts.
“This is the time when governments and the people of China and Malaysia work together and look after each other to overcome the difficulties. It also demonstrates the deep and warm relationship between China and Malaysia.
“The team will be in Malaysia for two weeks tentatively, during which they will also make a trip to Sabah and Sarawak to share their expertise,” Bai added.
The team, led by Dr Li Jun, chief physician of the Integrated Chinese and Western Emergency Medicine and vice-president of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said he felt touched by Malaysia’s warm welcome.
We’ve come here in the spirit of China’s hospitality towards Malaysia. We will make full use of our time in Malaysia and do what we can to assist Malaysia in fighting Covid-19 together,” he said.
The team of medical experts from China will not be involved in efforts to treat Covid-19 patients in Malaysia, said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
He said the medical professionals from China would be sharing their experiences in terms of treatment and research.
“(They will be sharing) not just their positive experiences but also perhaps issues where they have been unsuccessful in.
“We want to learn things, for example, which they have been unsuccessful in so that we do not repeat the same mistakes, ” he told reporters yesterday.
Dr Noor Hisham also said that discussions and exchanges of information on issues such as treatment of patients in the wards and intensive care units, and technical application of antigens or antibodies, was important.
Beijing has the responsibility to offer medical support to those countries ravaged by the coronavirus. Any responsible global power prioritizing people's lives would make the same choice as China.

Wuhan Institute of Virology: Man-made coronavirus beyond human intelligence
https://youtu.be/aswAvwZeVoI
BEIJING: The director of a maximum-security laboratory in China's coronavirus ground-zero city of Wuhan has rejected claims that it could be the source of the outbreak, calling it "impossible".
Beijing has come under increasing pressure over transparency in its handling of the pandemic, with the US probing whether the virus actually originated in a virology institute with a high-security biosafety laboratory.
Chinese scientists have said the virus likely jumped from an animal to humans in a market that sold wildlife.
But the existence of the facility has fuelled conspiracy theories that the germ spread from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, specifically its P4 laboratory which is equipped to handle dangerous viruses.
In an interview with state media published Saturday Yuan Zhiming, director of the laboratory, said that "there's no way this virus came from us".
None of his staff had been infected, he told the English-language state broadcaster CGTN, adding the "whole institute is carrying out research in different areas related to the coronavirus".
The institute had already dismissed the theory in February, saying it had shared information about the pathogen with the World Health Organization in early January.
But this week the United States has brought the rumours into the mainstream, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying US officials are doing a "full investigation" into how the virus "got out into the world".
When asked if the research suggested the virus could have come from the institute, Yuan said: "I know it's impossible."
"As people who carry out viral studies we clearly know what kind of research is going on at the institute and how the institute manages viruses and samples," he said.
He said that because the P4 laboratory is in Wuhan "people can't help but make associations", but that some media outlets are "deliberately trying to mislead people".
Reports in the Washington Post and Fox News have both quoted anonymous sources who voiced concern that the virus may have come -- accidentally -- from the facility.
Yuan said the reports were "entirely based on speculation" without "evidence or knowledge".
Authorities in Wuhan initially tried to cover up the outbreak and there have been questions about the official tally of infections with the government repeatedly changing its counting criteria at the peak of the outbreak.
This week authorities in the city admitted mistakes in counting its death toll and abruptly raised the figure by 50 percent. -- AFP
Obama made an appeal to 300 US mayors: You must tell the truth!
Obama said that as the mayor, in this case, the biggest mistake is to "provide the wrong information" to the people. He appealed to the mayors: "Tell the truth, and make it clear, let the people feel your sympathy."
And the truth Obama said is the truth that Trump misled people not to wear masks! In fact, what the world wants is not this truth. The truth that the United States and the people of the world need to know is: How did the virus come from? Was it caused by Trump to harm the world?
Only by telling the truth can we really save the epidemic in the United States, otherwise the Americans will be in the dark!
Possible truth
01
The truth is that the United States is the most obsessed with biological warfare in the world today. The United States has more than 200 biochemical laboratories worldwide.
A report from the Pentagon pointed out that the cost of biological warfare is extremely low, killing 65,000 people for $ 0.29!
02
The United States will never allow other countries to sit on par with it, as long as it reaches 70% of him. Therefore, almost at this point, the United States destroyed the Soviet Union and abolished Japanese economic might.
Now it's China's turn.
War with China will not work, because China's military power is not in the same grade as those in the Middle East, and there are atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs in their possession, and Dongfeng Intercontinental Missiles are even more mightily sophisticated.
Fighting the trade war, China is the country with the most complete manufacturing system in the world, and the sanctions imposed by the United States on trade does not bear effective results.
So, the United States thought of the thing that could kill 65,000 people for $ 0.29.
03
The key to engaging in biological warfare is not to set fire to self-immolation. To deal with China's stuff, it must be tailor-made. Only the yellow races are killed, and the whites are immune.
Therefore, the American Gilead Company had smuggled more than 5,000 Chinese serum disguised as dog serum samples, and was caught and punished by China.
At this point, we have only remembered what the Japanese Minister of Finance Taro Aso said at the end of February: The new crown virus is only a disease targeting Asians. This paragraph is expression of truth.
More directly, the Governor of New York State said at an outbreak press conference: "We thought this virus only attacked the Asian immune system."
04
Because the New Corona virus was originally a virus tailor-made for Asians in the United States, so from the early stage of the outbreak of China, Trump said: Soon after, I will send a big gift to China.
What is this gift? It is an antidote.
In early February, shortly after the closure of Wuhan, American pharmaceutical companies hyped their own antidote ~ "Remdisivir" came on stage! Facing a new virus that has never been seen before, how does the United States know the antidote?
On March 2, Trump still vowed to say "The United States will produce vaccines, soon, really."
Not only do we have vaccines, but also therapies on March 3 Trump declares! Another meaning of therapy is that it can be cured. "
On March 16, the first batch of "white mice" in the United States received vaccination. The United States is not the first country to have an epidemic outbreak. How did it conduct R & D trials and come up with antidote and vaccine at the speed of light?
Even more exciting is that this company that produces antidote and vaccine is the main contractor of the US Department of Defense's biological warfare project, and the major shareholder is the former US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.
Should n’t researching vaccines and testing antidote be the work of pharmaceutical laboratories? How could it be the ‘Biological Warfare Lab’ to study? Why does the United States know that the new corona virus vaccine is a biological warfare, rather than an epidemic infectious disease like smallpox, cholera, and Ebola virus?
05
Time to recall to summer 2019
At that time, due to inadequate safety training and slack management, the virus laboratory in Maryland had a virus leak. This project was closed after just over a month.
But the big mistake has been made, the virus has spread out, and in the two nearby towns that were first affected, people have suffered from a strange lung disease-the white lung, which is exactly the same as the new coronary pneumonia.
It ’s hard to expose, as it ’s also a military secret. The virus must be covered, and it ’s also necessary to find someone to be a scapegoat.
As a result, the e-cigarettes that had appeared as early as 2003 suddenly became the scapegoat for the cause of white lungs. When the flu outbreak occurred, the e-cigarette hypes could finally be put down as the cause. The so-called white lungs are flu.
06
It was October 18-27, 2019. During the Wuhan Military Sports competition the US biochemical soldiers disguised as Trojan horses and mixed into Wuhan City. Wuhan was darts!
After poisoning, the United States has been waiting for good news.
When the Chinese epidemic broke out, the US Department of Commerce immediately couldn't bear the joy, and openly said: China's epidemic will help the manufacturing industry return to the United States.
In other words, China is poisoned! Yay!
07
The United States holds the antidote, there is no fear, lest the world is not chaotic, so it expects the epidemic to be as serious as possible. When the world is in chaos, the United States will sell the world's vaccine and antidote, gain fame and fortune, and more importantly, whether it sells China or not, it depends on Trump's mood. Wow, thinking of this, the White House couldn't sleep in excitement.
More importantly, this virus is only for Asians, Caucasians are fine, Trump can sit back and relax, you see that he does not wear a mask when the epidemic is most serious.
08
The villain is all day long, and the gentleman is not too late for ten years—Chinese proverb.
Trump, the villain, has been blowing all day long since then: No one knows the virus better than me. Our country is doing great.
You do n’t need to wear a mask, we have full control of the situation. One day the virus will disappear like a miracle.
We almost suppressed the virus from China. Now there are 15 diagnoses, and it will be zero in a few days.
The virus is a prank. I think it ’s okay to meet, it ’s very safe, you do n’t need to go to the hospital to see a doctor ........................ How you listen, Trump behaves like a general director with an antidote in his hand and a script in his heart.
09
The government calculated that it hurt Chinese life.
The result that the United States did not expect was that the Chinese government led 1.4 billion Chinese people to control the epidemic in two months, thus becoming the safest place in the world.
What the Americans did not expect was that the United States actually became The highest number of diagnoses and the most dangerous place in the world!
Not only did the manufacturing industry not return to the United States, but it also ushered in the Great Depression. People all over the world are speculating when the behemoth of the United States will fall!
God bestows immense love to China, after this battle, became more united and got a real immunization; the so-called vaccines, so-called therapies that were not effective in the ground, the United States is 'enjoying' its retribution, pale and weak Wuhan pneumonia, Chinese pneumonia,
The sickness of the yellow race has become an unfulfilled dream in the mouth of the White House and its running dogs. What a joke.
China's endurance is no longer the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago. We have a unique Chinese philosophy of resistance to pressure. We will not become a second Soviet Union, nor will we provoke the antagonism and confrontation between China and the US from our side. China 's way of safeguarding its core interests will be brand new, and we need to surprise history.
The ruling elites in Washington are living in a fantasy where they think blurring the facts and spreading their slander allows them to call white for black.
Pompeo and other US elites must be responsible for damaging superpower cooperation if the pandemic worsens, while China cannot join hands with the US due to the war of words. Politicians like Pompeo focus too much on their personal political interests. They will eventually be remembered as negative role models in the history of mankind's battle against COVID-19.
Trump Is Using Coronavirus As an Excuse to Brag About Ratings https://youtu.be/ZDVETqkluQw Fox News on Thursday quoted "multiple sources" and claimed that the COVID-19 is "likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory." A Fox News reporter also asked US President Donald Trump about the issue during the White House coronavirus news briefing, and Trump didn't deny it. This has promoted the spread of this accusation in the international media.
Everyone knows that Fox News is a media outlet that firmly defends Trump. It did not even dare to say the source of information. We have reason to suspect that Fox News fabricated the news out of thin air. This is their special operation to assist Trump's reelection.
Scientists worldwide have opposed the opinion that the COVID-19 was leaked from the laboratory. On February 18, before China and the US had diplomatic frictions on the origin of the virus, 27 prominent public health scientists released a statement to "strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."
Fox News' report is to cater to the political needs of Trump and US ruling elites. The media is turning itself into a part of their political attack.
There are only more than six months before the 2020 US presidential election. The US is at the peak of the epidemic and it is uncertain whether it can be controlled. After a slight decline in infections, the number of new confirmed cases and deaths in the US soared by 40,678 and 2,538 over the past 24 hours, both reaching a new high.
The epidemic will impose a continual and dangerous political pressure on the Trump administration. To win the election, Trump and his Republican Party urgently need to pass the buck to others and divert public attention and anger. They will mobilize all their resources and pass the buck to China. Attacking the WHO is a new way to divert people's suspicion on China.
US ruling elites probably believe that whether they can make voters believe the US' highest infections and deaths are all because of China, and whether they can incite extreme nationalism among the Americans against China and make voters hate China, instead of US' rulers, are the keys to their election.
Fox News, US Republican lawmakers, the government-controlled intelligence agencies and the high-ranking officials who appear in public are all playing different roles. They are jointly painting a false picture that China is lying about the main information of the epidemic and hiding key facts from the world.
They are trying to convince Americans that China's so-called concealment has led to the US government's contempt for the epidemic, and has reinforced people's impression that the death toll in the US is too high. They want voters to believe that the US government has done a good job, and the US' death toll is acceptable and is much less than the worst case.
Are American people and international society so gullible? Let us see what will actually happen in the end. Our judgment is that politics will confuse some people and interests may help lies spread, and thus there will be people who chime in with Washington's claims.
But common sense and real science will be more powerful. People in and outside the US will agree that the US must be responsible for its terrible COVID-19 management.
Washington will only fall into a bigger crisis if it wants to use a lie to weather the current one. They will pay a greater price for it.
The strict review and correction of the death toll means there is no room for deliberate concealment. Speculation that China falsified the death toll from the coronavirus is far from truth
The ongoing virus fight still brings in uncertainties. Meanwhile, resumption of production and work will become new themes, while how to balance economic recovery and the virus fight needs to be explored Related posts:

Fox News’ unscrupulous manipulation should be condemned by the global press
https://youtu.be/JMj4k_rqtfQ
This week, Fox News, one of Donald Trump's favorite mouthpieces, ran a story on the conspiracy theory that claims COVID-19 was made at a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
The most shocking aspect of this theory was not how it claimed to know where the virus originated. Such misinformation has since become old news after it was dispelled by Chinese scientists and international institutions as early as February.
What's shocking is how Fox News claimed that "multiple sources" said the virus was leaked in an attempt by China to "demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States."
Reading the report was an unbelievable experience, and not because the Fox News claim rocked my understanding of China, but how it was unfathomable that a major news outlet would make such a ridiculous claim and even take it seriously.
Did anyone at Fox News bother to read the report? China leaked the virus because it wanted to prove its system was better than the US? It sounded like something a third-grader would say.
Even though Fox News may think that all Americans are as ignorant as Trump's consultant Kellyanne Conway, who claimed the virus was the 19th version of COVID, the report is beyond ridiculous and will inspire others to wonder if there is anyone at the news outlet whose brain actually works.
Unfortunately, Fox News has an extensive fan base who wants to be coerced into believing the "China leaked virus" theory. On Twitter, some threatened to "wipe" China off the planet and posted a gif of a nuclear bomb, suggesting that China should be nuked. Such fascist behavior should come as no surprise given that Fox News and Trump's behavior often invite racist and neo-Nazis words.
Objective and intellectual thinkers do not accept Fox News claims regarding China. On the Fox News YouTube channel, many questioned their "sources," which is something Fox News refuses to address.
What's even funnier is how Trump said in 2016 that "don't believe 'sources said' by the VERY dishonest media. If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist."
Regardless of "sources," the Fox News theory proves a concern I've had since February. Trump and his conservative allies began making remarks that COVID-19 was "just a flu" and one that would "magically disappear" due to "hot weather." Trish Regan of Fox News said the epidemic was a "scam" by Democrats to impeach Trump. Their attitudes inspired me to wonder if the coronavirus emerged in the US first, would these people treat it just like a flu, downplay its risks and even cover up the truth of this deadly pandemic?
China reported, studied, and fought the virus first, treated it as a very serious crisis, and became a whistleblower for the pandemic worldwide. China's efforts might have foiled Trump and his henchman's plan to downplay COVID-19. So, when the outbreak in the US worsened and couldn't be covered up because of information from China, Trump and his men would dislike China for revealing the true nature of COVID-19, which would also jeopardize his approval rating.
And now, in Fox News' latest false claim, one can certainly sense such a grudge against China. It is apparently a form of revenge by Trump's team as they are shamed by China.
In other words, the Fox News' conspiracy theory may have revealed how they never took COVID-19 seriously. For them and Trump, it is ultimately a political reality show for Trump's re-election so that instead of being responsible, their priorities are always to find someone to blame, be it Democrats, news media, China, or the World Health Organization.
For those who need further evidence that Trump and his puppy Fox News only care about political gain, check the internet and social media and see who is spreading misinformation and who is pretending that this is just a flu.
There is a saying on China's social media: Like idols, like fans.
US media outlet Fox News recently published a report hyping the old conspiracy theory that the novel coronavirus was made in "a Wuhan laboratory" by citing "anonymous sources" without even explaining how the sources acquired the information. Known as a hub for fake news about coronavirus, Fox News's latest report was criticized by overseas netizens and experts for demonstrating a new low of "lack of professionalism" in journalism.

The World Health Organization’s director-general expressed regret Wednesday at President Trump’s intent to withhold funding, and said the agency would seek to fill financing gaps from other donors as it battles the coronavirus pandemic.
US allies line up to condemn Donald Trump’s WHO funding suspension
EU foreign policy chief captures chorus of concern as health body expresses regret and assesses financial hit
President Donald Trump’s decision to halt US funding to the World Health Organization has triggered heavy criticism at home and abroad for depriving the global body of its biggest donor as it battles the coronavirus pandemic.
Josep Borrell, EU foreign policy chief, captured a chorus of international concern when he warned that all countries must work together closely to stem the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Deeply regret US decision to suspend funding to WHO,” he wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. “There is no reason justifying this move at a moment when their efforts are needed more than ever to help contain & mitigate the coronavirus pandemic.”
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, expressed regret at Mr Trump’s decision and said his organisation was assessing the impact and how to fill any funding gaps.
“This is a time for all of us to be united in our common struggle against a common threat, a dangerous enemy,” he told reporters. “When we are divided the virus exploits the cracks between us.”
Mr Trump shocked European allies on Tuesday when he announced that hundreds of millions of dollars in US funding would be suspended while a review was conducted to assess the WHO’s “role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus”.
He also criticised the organisation’s relationship with China. “American taxpayers provide between $400m-$500m per year to the WHO, in contrast China contributes roughly $40m a year, even less,” Mr Trump said. “As the organisation’s leading sponsor, the US has a duty to insist on full accountability.”
Critics countered that the White House was undermining the international response to the Covid-19 pandemic and other serious diseases in an effort to distract attention from questions over its own handling of the health emergency.
This is the time for solidarity, not for finger-pointing or undermining multilateral co-operation.
The European Commission said the EU backed the WHO in its efforts to contain the pandemic, had already provided additional funding and was looking into what it and its member states could do in response to the US move.
“This is the time for solidarity, not for finger-pointing or undermining multilateral co-operation,” the Commission said.
Ursula von der Leyen, Commission president, is due to host an online pledging conference on May 4 that will look at immediate funding gaps in combating the pandemic.
In Germany, Heiko Maas, foreign minister, said it did not help to “apportion blame” over the pandemic. Simon Coveney, Ireland’s foreign minister, slammed Mr Trump’s decision as “indefensible” in the “midst of global pandemic”.
Sergei Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, branded the US move “very alarming”. “This is an example of a very selfish approach by the US authorities,” he said, according to the Tass news agency.
Mr Trump’s move was also condemned by Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and billionaire head of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds,” he wrote on Twitter.
The US, where more than 26,000 people have died from Covid-19, the largest official national death toll, is the largest single contributor to the WHO. Of the roughly $500m it provides annually, $116m is mandated by the UN and about another $400m is in voluntary payments.
In Washington, the president’s move came under heavy fire from Democrats, while Republicans were largely supportive. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, described it as an “illegal” move that would be “swiftly challenged”.
“The president’s halting of funding to the WHO as it leads the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic is senseless,” she added.
Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, said it was a “dangerous and reckless” move at a time when people in the US and across the world were dying from the virus.
But Republicans were supportive either because of concerns that the organization was too China-centric — echoing the claims of Mr Trump — or because of unease about international institutions.
“This is a critical time for worldwide public health and we cannot afford China apologists running the WHO,” said Lindsey Graham, a senator who generally backs US international engagement. “I support a suspension of funding . . . until there is new leadership at the WHO.”
Stephen Griffin, associate professor at the school of medicine at the UK’s University of Leeds, said Mr Trump’s decision was perhaps “one of the least productive, most short-sighted, self-motivated and hypocritical acts I have ever witnessed”.
China’s foreign ministry said Washington’s decision would “weaken the capabilities of the WHO, harm international co-operation against the epidemic, and affect various countries including the US itself domestically”.
But Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison also expressed concerns about the WHO’s handling of the pandemic, calling for greater transparency from the health body on the causes of the outbreak.

US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Washington was suspending funding to World Health Organization (WHO) while reviewing over the organization's "role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus." Since last week, Trump has launched a barrage of attacks on WHO, accusing the organization of being "China centric."
Mainstream public opinion both in the US and abroad believes Trump is anxiously making WHO a scapegoat to divert increasingly fiercer domestic criticisms for his botched epidemic response.
It should be taken as part of Trump's reelection campaign. Attacking WHO and labeling it as "China centric" could incite many Americans to unleash their anger over the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans amid the pandemic as well as their severely impacted life. Canvassing gatherings cannot be held at this moment, so finding scapegoats to let voters vent their anger has become the best campaign tactic. The US recent years has intensified its anti-China ideology, targeting WHO and China together could fan as much nationalism as possible in the US and covertly boost Trump's reelection.
Those in the US Congress who are furiously blasting WHO are from the Republican party. The White House has taken state apparatuses and public interests as campaign resources. Such political operations are quite immoral.
The global virus fight is at a critical juncture. The novel coronavirus is launching indiscriminate attacks against all the people regardless of nationality or race. WHO is the authoritative body that can coordinate the global anti-virus fight. Washington's crackdown on the WHO is a blow to the global endeavor against the coronavirus. The US is making lives of numerous people pay the price for its political infighting. This is a bloody plan.
So far epicenters of the pandemic are mainly in relatively developed regions and those hardest hit countries have comparatively strong ability to stem the pandemic on their own.
However, the risk of pandemic hitting underdeveloped areas is growing increasingly high. Those countries will tend to rely more on the support and assistance of the WHO. Any move at this time that may paralyze and weaken WHO will foster the pandemic and place human beings in a more vulnerable situation.
Washington's attack on the WHO is so unpopular that no country in the world has yet echoed. Only the Taiwan bogus regime supported Washington out of its own political interests. This isolated camp - the US plus the island of Taiwan - well explains "an unjust cause finds scant support."
Washington's attempts to shift the blame onto other countries and international organizations are doomed to fail. Its own mistakes cannot be more obvious, and buck-passing will only drive people to further investigate and define its responsibility for improper handling of the outbreak.
The US' attacks against the WHO is groundless. Taking buck-passing as one of the main battlefields of the presidential election will very much likely to suffer losses.
A sovereign country that investigates the WHO and treats international organizations so arrogantly won't be supported by international law.
Washington evaluates the WHO in accordance with how the organization has served the US. This goes against the purpose of WHO.
Such an arbitrary and overbearing act will surely help the world see clearly the true nature of the ongoing conflicts between the US and international organizations.
The US has no ability to reconstruct an international system. What it is doing now is pure destruction. The acts of the US are throwing the world into chaos and crippling the global system. The US political and legal framework cannot restrain its government from acting at its own will. This is the misfortune of the US and the entire world.
US President Donald Trump's decision to suspend US payments to the World Health Organization in the midst of the present pandemic is outrageous and grossly irresponsible, which prioritizes his own electoral fortunes over the needs of the American people and people around the world, Martin Jacques, a senior fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University, told the Global Times via email.
Public health crises do not happen often, but once they do, they expose the various flaws of a system. It remains to be seen how the US reforms its system to address the flaws, or just looks for a scapegoat.
Perhaps the biggest lesson that we should learn from the COVID-19 pandemic is countries with different political systems and ideologies should unite to deal with our common enemy. Learning to coexist may be the goal of human development in the future as well as the solution to global problems.
