After fighting the pandemic for three years, China "reopened" to the world but some countries have imposed restrictions on Chinese travelers, which is discriminatory.

Despite China taking strict measures or easing policies according to changing circumstances, Western countries continue to slam China. Yasir Masood, an Islamabad-based broadcast journalist and communication expert, said this reflects the West's bias.

Masood said the United States has been leading attempts to smear China. Reports from the international media seem to neglect many of China's efforts to help deal with the global health crisis.

Masood said that China took many steps in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, from protecting Chinese citizens to providing aid to countries in need.

"These kinds of narratives won't do any good to global peace," Masood said. He stressed that people should understand and unpack the realities.
