With reference to Peter Kammerer’s “ The test for Beijing: will Hongkongers accept a Chinese vaccine? ” (August 11): no country is perfect. No person is perfect. Both you and I are flawed as people. I for one would proudly stick my arm out and get a jab of the Chinese-made Covid-19 vaccine if it were available. Perhaps we all ought to look at China in a different light. I am a Western-educated Chinese who in my teens always thought the West was best, in particular the United States. How the times have changed. As I have matured and seen the world, I no longer hold the prejudiced view of China I did when I was young. Are Chinese goods inferior? Are foreign-made goods always better? Ten years ago, if you asked me if I would buy a Chinese-made phone, my answer would be a resounding “no”. Ask me today and I’d tell you I am eagerly waiting for next flagship phone from Huawei . I hope people can see and appreciate the progress that China has made over the years. Sure, China is not perfect – but which country is? I plead with all those who think China is inferior to take a second look, and ask themselves what good it does for everyone to look down on China and treat it as an enemy. I used to think little of people who would make wishes for world peace – how wrong I was. Here I am sitting in my office devoid of work, wishing that countries would stop bickering and join hands to beat the real enemy of the world – Covid-19. Eric Lee, Mid-Levels
