    Original title: The source of the strain is not China, data help the Chinese community in Canada "clean smudge" "Doctor said that the Chinese community's efforts to contain the new crown epidemic should be praised," the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported on the 8th, the country's British Columbia 4 data show that the province's lowest infection rate of the city is the highest proportion of Chinese-American city of Richmond, and genetic sequencing analysis found that the province's new crown virus strain mainly from Canada, the United States, Europe, not China.
    Hong Kong's South China Morning Post article on the 9th, said the data published too late, richmond was once considered the source of the local outbreak.
    Because British Columbia is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, traditionally a predominantly Chinese neighborhood, the new crown outbreak panic first appeared, and hate and discrimination against Ethnic Chinese is not uncommon.
    CBC quoted Wu Peiheng, a Chinese dentist in Richmond, the province, as saying that he and many Chinese-Americans had been out wearing masks as early as February, but had been subjected to strange glances and silent rejections by passers-by.
    Canadian health officials did not issue a recommendation to wear masks in public until May.
    reported that police data showed that hate crimes against Asians during the outbreak in the Vancouver area increased eightfold from the same period last year.
    many racists blame chinese for the new crown outbreak and spread racial hate speech.
    but the opposite is true.
    CBC reports that Richmond, the city with the highest proportion of Chinese in Canada and beyond, is of Chinese (54.4 percent of its resident population) with 444 new crown cases per million people, making it the lowest confirmed city in British Columbia (832 in Vancouver).
    There have been no new cases in Richmond since May 18, the only one in the province's low-land plains, and in fact only 88 cases have been confirmed in the city so far.
    CBC, said Musi, an infectious disease specialist at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and co-chair of who is co-chair of the WHO's New Crown Clinical Research Committee, believes that "while it is not certain, it is clear that this phenomenon is necessarily linked to the early adoption of preventive measures by the Chinese community". Phillips, another UBC infectious disease expert at the
    , said the data "confirmed the effectiveness of the Chinese community's response to the outbreak" and that the situation was similar in Chinese-populated areas around the world.
    "The data prove the sad mistake of those infected with the virus, " the South China Morning Post published an article by Vancouver-based Special Correspondent Ian Young on Monday, highlighting another key fact. Data released by
    British Columbia on Thursday also showed that genome sequencing of 700 to 800 local virus samples showed that China was not a direct source of the main local infection chain.
    the first imported cases in the area did come from China, but there was no community transmission under self-segregation among the Chinese community, and strains from Europe, eastern Canada and the United States caused the local outbreak to spread. "Early release of these data may help reduce the embers of anti-China sentiment,"
    said.
    extended reading: Canada announces a surprising news... Canada is working with China to develop a new crown vaccine, The Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper, reported on May 12, local time, that the media from the Canadian National Research Council learned that Canadian researchers are working with China to develop the new crown vaccine, and will be in Canada for relevant clinical trials.
    the vaccine, known as Ad5-nCoV, was developed by a Chinese company in collaboration with the Canadian military and is one of many new crown vaccines developed worldwide.
    China and Canada have agreed to produce the vaccine in Canada for clinical trials and emergency use, and to continue development.
    Roman Szumski, deputy director of life sciences research at the National Research Council of Canada, said the vaccine has been conducted in Phase I and Ii clinical trials in China, while continuing clinical trials in Canada could provide a better understanding of the vaccine's safety and effectiveness.
    If clinical trials go well, the vaccine will be submitted to Health Canada for approval for emergency use, possibly as early as this fall.
    reported that The companies that have cooperated in the development of the new crown vaccine are The Consino Biocos, based in Tianjin, China, and the Institute of Biotechnology of the Canadian Academy of Military Medical Sciences.
    it is understood that the two sides have previously worked together to develop a vaccine against the Ebola virus and have been successful.
    the recombinant vaccine uses a variety of viral strains, is genetically recombined to contain the neo-coronavirus's stingprotein.
    use by the human body, the body's immune system can recognize and destroy the coronavirus. Lakshmi Krishnan, secretary-general of the Human Health Treatment Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada
    , explained that the new coronavirus vaccine developed using a cell line called HEK293 as a "living cell factory" to produce any vaccine product, which Canada studied more than a decade ago.
