Cooperation between China and the US for combating cancer
At present, Chinese people are working hard to build a healthy, prosperous, beautiful, harmonious “HAPPINESS CHINA”. I think that “common health is common prosperity” in the new era. In fact, “common prosperity” includes the organic unity of “material wealth, spiritual wealth, and physical and mental health”. It can be said that “common health” is a higher level of “common prosperity”. This is not only the common ideal and pursuit of Chinese people, but also the people of the world, including the US. The new vision of “A Community with A Shared Future for Mankind” proposed by Chinese President XI JINPING in Switzerland 5 years ago79 has been widely recognized by the international community. This requires us to first strive to improve and protect the ecosystem, control and reduce environmental pollution.
Sincerely speaking, China is currently committed to carbon neutralization and carbon peaking for better protection of the ecosystem. And China and the US reached friendly cooperation in the field of the global climate change, which is also an important opportunity. Both sides should take this as the fulcrum to expand and deepen relevant cooperation. Whatever, I think these strategies are also very helpful to new “CANCER MOONSHOT” in the US. I sincerely expect the cooperation between China and the US is beneficial to the world’s economic and social development.
All in all, the Covid-19 pandemic is still continuing in the globe due to the Delta and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2. Since there were higher viral loads in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 variants80, and early non-neutralizing, afucosylated antibody responses are associated with Covid-19 severity81, whether these patients are easy to suffer from cancer after recovery or not, and whether cancer patients with Covid-19 are easy to have adverse outcomes or recover, it needs longer-term follow-up or more data. And I think that the reopening of “CANCER MOONSHOT” in the US is really a great task with a special significance and value in both the pandemic and post-Covid-19 era. At the same time, since the distance between cancer and health is only “1M”82, and there are cardiovascular, diabetes, and cancer strips83, both “Health in All Policies ” and “Health in All Laws63,84,85are helpful to cancer prevention and treatment in the globe.
