In the Coronary Virus disaster, the most eye -catching is the epidemic in European and American countries.However, these modern countries have developed medical systems and have huge fiscal capabilities to alleviate corresponding serious economic losses.Many people ignore that the coronary virus has also caused huge disasters in the third world. However, these countries generally do not have the medical system of European and American countries, and they are unable to withstand the huge economic losses caused by the epidemic.
The number of unemployment in the United States due to coronary virus is more than 30 million, becoming a prominent title of Wall Street.However, the unemployment caused by the epidemic in the Third World far exceeds Europe and the United States.What's worse is that these countries lack social welfare and unemployment relief in developed countries.The World Bank estimates that 500 million people in the world will be hit back to the red poverty.
One of the great benefits brought by globalization over the past few decades is to help a large number of poor countries get rid of poverty, especially through the emerging micro -credit system, and a large number of individual small merchants generated, as well as women joined for employment.According to World Bank statistics, these companies from miniature to small and medium -sized enterprises account for 90 % of the number of companies in the world and generate more than half of their employment.These small and medium -sized enterprises are the worst losses under the epidemic.
The microcredit system is the golden bird of this disaster.According to economists, more than 90%of small credit users in southern India are unable to repay credit; Uganda has 70%of micro -credit users who have stopped operating; in South Africa, this number is 85%, even if the local area from May 1stFrom the beginning of the day, 80 % of small enterprises are still closed.In Bolivia, 70%to 80%of micro -credit merchants closed, so and so on.
According to the New York Times, Bangladesh's state -owned millions of clothing processing workers lost their jobs and female workers accounted for the majority.Even if the clothing factory is willing to take risks to resume work, it will face the construction crisis of the sharp decline in foreign trade orders.The 2019 Nobel Prize winner Abigit Middot; Professor Banajib told the New York Times that poverty alleviation through women's employment is a very easy story.The World Bank estimates that the southern Africa southern Africa has faced its first economic recession in the past 25 years; South Asia will have the worst economic performance in 40 years.
For Beijing, the crown disease in the Third World will bring tremendous diplomatic pressure.Regardless of the voices of the international survey of the source of the virus, the epidemic caused hundreds of millions of people to be poverty, far from sending dozens of medical teams to help solve.International lawsuits required to compensate for economic compensation are political performances, but the poverty -stricken country in the Third World requires debt and exemption is very realistic.
For example, the Director -General of the WHO and the former Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tan Desai supported Beijing in this epidemic and helped China.The Ethiopian Prime Minister Aihamad published a special article in the New York Times on April 30, calling on the international debt of the third world country, not only the delayed repayment of the G20 summit, but it should be exempted.
In recent years, China ’s aid for Africa and other third worlds has surpassed Europe and the United States, especially for diplomacy through the Belt and Road plan.As the main place of the epidemic, Beijing is therefore facing huge diplomacy and moral pressures, eliminating huge debt of hundreds of billions of dollars in the third world countries that owe hundreds of billions of dollars.
