Thank you Mr Xie for sharing. I hope that all politicians read this to benefit mankind.

[@simonh1552]

Well Done & Salute Mr. Xie & Peking U for the futures of Mankind. Your are world future. 🙏🙏 🙏

[@Sooihl]

So inspired and excited by the progress that Prof Xie and the PKU teams are making on this very important fight against the disease that knows no borders. So proud as an overseas Chinese that China is pushing forward on this frontier with collaborations. I hope and pray that Prof Xie and China will succeed and show the world how science with no borders can save mankind. However sad for mankind that selfish politicians in the western world whose goals are to serve their own egos and distorted goals, cannot transcend themselves to support, encourage and facilitate the work. Instead, they chose to sacrifice mankind to serve their own selfish needs. So sad that they can pride themselves in their crawl to be "leaders of the free world" over many dead bodies. Their day of reckoning will come. Stay strong, focus and persevere team Prof Xie and PKU. Human mankind all over the world needs you. I am so proud to be Chinese.

Great to hear a voice that speaks of hope and oneness of humanity through scientific research, amidst the disturbing noises of politicians jostling for world supremacy for their respective countries

[@paulpotter2878]

Xiaoliang Sunney Xie underscores vividly the absolute humanitarian requirement that the scientific community, above all politics and nationalistic regimes, must be accorded full priority to work internationally - across all and any borders - to secure our greatest collaborative efforts to eradicate not just this contemporary virus, but all and any others that follow. Is this not prime time for politics and governments to universally recognize our only route to survival against global infection(s) is the freely-granted accord to the scientific community to work unhindered by those corporations: government-backed or private who'd line their own pockets at the expense of countless millions of lives in our tenuous humankind?

[@Jeffrey2323]

Thanks, Prof. Believe in science. No politics.

[@darsingh69]

Great work. It is a shame politics in US under Trump and Biden cause so much hardship to the world. What is wrong with America? It used to be the greatest country on this planet. Not anymore. 🤔

[@winall9]

Correction.. Trump was correcting the lousy policies of Obama but the deep corrupted state was always hindering his efforts. Biden is of the deep state and his lousy results speak for themselves

Its has already been a year since this video was made and since million had died. How was the process of making neutralizing antibodies going on? What was the outcome.. how long more we have to wait, and how many more millions have to die?

[@PekingUniversity1898]

Thank you for bringing up the questions. Please click the link @t to read Prof. Xiaoliang Sunney Xie and fellow collaborators' research on "Humoral immune response to circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants elicited by inactivated and RBD-subunit vaccines."

[@edped7130]

Talk is easy, hard work and accuracy are very important and time consuming in order to eradicate covid-19. We are dealing with human lives so PATIENCE IS THE MOTHER OF VIRTUE.

Good.

[@pahatpahat9566]

With more resources that China possess now, Peking University has shown the pathway towards greater contribution to humanity. I believe such contribution like that offered by Hua Wei in AI medical connectivity to humanity will pave the way to a better understanding of China's contribution towards this end. I believe, this pandemic can provide the platform to contribute to humanity. With her traditional medical knowledge combined with modern technology, China can surely play a leading role to the rest of the world! JaiYU China!

[@PekingUniversity1898]

Thank you, Pahat!

But politicians and capitalists will never think about humanity.. they only think about their own self and how use scientists to achieve their greediness..

[@cheehoecheek119]

I wonder if you were in China for twenty years and didn’t step into USA, what kind off achievements you had for today ? 🤨🤨🤨

[@ILUVPercussions]

Science speaks a single language that's evidence based, facts. Research for cure can be done in anywhere around the world with adequate facilities to carry out the tests. U r so deviated from this topic. Don't judge those who work hard in the science field. U don know how much work they put in for all these. Not US Not China. Is for the betterment of mankind.

[@PekingUniversity1898]

@@ILUVPercussions Thank you Keyz. Not to mention researchers like Tu Youyou, who studied in China and conducted a research project in China that saved so many lives. Yes, we have more researchers going overseas to pursue further study because of globalization. Globalization offers researchers opportunities to share more academic resources and exchange information quickly with each other, regardless of countries and regions. Education is not and should not about cultivating professionals for one country. Rather, the purpose of education is to enlighten people around the world and for the betterment of humanity like you have said.

@USA was built by immigrants. Without them, America will not be what it is today. And remember this, “ Pride comes before a fall” so keep your arrogance to yourself.
