US and China in a nasty war of words over coronavirus
Washington, Beijing … News Time
Yesterday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo interviewed Fox News, alleging that China did not take appropriate precautions about the Coronavirus. And ruined many precious days that caused the virus to spread all over the world and today Italy is the worst affected. In addition, during a press conference at the White House, US President Donald Trump also called the novel Coronavirus (Covid. 19) a Chinese virus, which is being fueled by China’s anger.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying wrote in his tweets responding to Mike Pompeo’s allegations that US Secretary of State stopped lying when he was aware of the truth because the World Health Organization also praised China’s timely measures to prevent the virus. Otherwise the number of victims could have been much higher. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry tweeted, thanking the American people for US $ 100 million in aid to China and other countries: In fact, we (China) didn’t even get a dollar. But has the US paid the World Health Organization obligations? In another tweet, he wrote that China had informed the US government on January 3 of the novel coronavirus epidemic. On January 15, the US State Department also issued travel advisories for Americans traveling to Wuhan. And now China accused of delays? Are you serious Hua Chunying wrote?
Morgan Ortagus, a spokesman for the US State Department, wrote in a tweet: By January 3, Chinese authorities had ordered the destruction of the Covid 19 virus sample, had silenced Wuhan’s doctors and censored public concern on the Internet. This timeline should really be investigated. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry criticized the Trump administration and tweeted that the US government’s Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that the United States has affected 300 million people this year due to a cold. I also included 22000 deaths. The CDC chief acknowledges that some of these deaths may have been caused by Covid. 19. He said that it is the American people’s right and need to be aware of transparent and accurate information about it.
It should be noted that the cold war between China and the United States has intensified over the past year. Last week, Chinese authorities allege a global outbreak of the Coronavirus was transmitted to US troops in Wuhan, which the United States has strongly protested against. In addition, the US earlier this month ordered 60 Chinese journalists to leave the US. In response, China has also ordered 100 US journalists to leave China within 10 days.
