Mainland China is closing down the hospitals in Wuhan, releasing patients who are already cured. Doctors are celebrating, and with them, the ordinary people; in China and all over the world.
It is not the end of the medical emergency, yet, but it is the beginning of the end; a victory of reason, of determination and discipline; a victory of the system that is serving its citizens.
People are returning home. Families are being reunited. Cities are slowly beginning to open up, again. With the victory comes spring; real and metaphorical.
Now, the biggest threat to China is that which comes from outside, from abroad.
But instead of shooting fireworks into night skies, China is sending wide-body airplanes. They are taking off, towards places such as Italy, bringing medical supplies and medical staff. China knows how to share and how to help those who are in need. It is part of its culture, as it is part of its political system.
For several weeks now, the Hong Kong rioters have been relatively quiet. Frankly, they have been humiliated.
Lately, they and their handlers have been re-grouping, changing tactics, thinking how to harm the People's Republic of China, without making fools of themselves again.
Months ago, they tried to break China into pieces, using politics. And they failed.
