Let's go ahead and find out about China. Beijing correspondents are connected.

Correspondent Jeong Seong-yeop, Korea and Japan have more patients, but China has fewer patients than before.

<Reporter>

There are 394 new patients in China today (20th).

In our view, this is not a small number, but for China, it has fallen to three digits in almost a month.

The biggest drop in Hubei Province is 349. The wonder is that Wuhan City, which is located in Hubei Province, has increased by 615, more than the total figure of Hubei Province.

However, the number of new applicants in other Hubei provinces has declined.

Some of the patients classified as confirmed in the clinical diagnosis turned negative after the nucleic acid test, so Chinese authorities explained.

We put clinical diagnostic patients in the statistics, and then we subtracted them again because there were too many confirmed patients.

But is the Chinese government confident that the number of patients has fallen?

<Reporter>

Even today, it was mentioned that the situation of Corona 19 was a great emergency war since the founding of China.

Since Xi Jinping, who declared the People's War, was successful in quarantine, Macau Casino, which had been closed to tourist attractions, also opened again.

Based on this confidence, we began to hunsu both us and Japan, advising us to quickly hospitalize confirmed and suspected patients and learn about China's response to preventing family infections.

It also informed Japan that they had provided diagnostic test reagents.

It is desirable for the three countries to cooperate and advise each other for protection, but it is questionable whether China, which still has more than 100 deaths a day, is confident in doing so.

Finally, a few months ago, the consulate general in Wuhan was empty, but the new consul was appointed today. Did you have a lot of interest in China?

<Reporter>

The new consul general, Kang Seung-seok, arrived in Wuhan this morning, and told Chinese media that he was waiting at the airport.

[Kang Seung-seok / Consul General of the United States: I hope that Korea will go on the same boat as China, Hubei and Wuhan.]

Supporting and helping each other when it is difficult is important to maintain the relationship. Chinese foreigners have expressed interest in Korea as new foreign missions leave Wuhan.

A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said, "I was impressed by Korea's deep support and friendship, citing our proverb that the land will harden after rain."
