China News Service, Beijing, March 31 (Reporter Zhang Su) In response to US officials accusing China of launching false information campaigns, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying emphasized at a regular press conference on the 31st: "We have no intention, no time to disdain Yu launched a so-called 'false information campaign.' "
A reporter asked that a State Department spokesman said on the 30th that Secretary of State Pompeo spoke with NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg on the same day to discuss the importance of countering China and Russia's spread of false information and publicity activities related to the New Crown virus. What is China's comment?
Hua Chunying replied that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has always kept the World Health Organization and relevant countries, including the United States, informed of the epidemic situation in a timely, open, transparent and responsible manner. The provision of support and assistance has been generally recognized and praised by the international community.
"U.S. officials say that China initiated false information campaigns. I don't know if they can clearly point out which information is false? Is it the effectiveness of China's anti-epidemic? Or is China's support and assistance to other countries?" Hua Chunying asked back.
She further pointed out how the United States handled the crisis. There are many reports in the United States and the American people have personal experience. The Chinese people are concerned and worried about the development of the U.S. epidemic. We sincerely hope that the U.S. will overcome the epidemic as soon as possible and that the lives and health of the U.S. people will be maintained.
Hua Chunying said that since the outbreak, China has raced against time to fight the virus and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic. At present, many Chinese companies are still racing against the clock to produce medical and epidemic prevention materials day and night, providing material protection for other countries in the world to fight the epidemic.
"We have no intention, no time to disdain to launch the so-called" false information campaign, "she said.
On March 27, when the heads of state of China and the United States talked on the phone, they agreed that under the current circumstances, China and the United States should unite to fight the epidemic. Hua Chunying said that some people's remarks clearly violated the consensus of the leaders of the two countries and hoped that they could focus on the prevention and control of the domestic epidemic in the United States and do more things that are conducive to Sino-US anti-epidemic cooperation.
Hua Chunying introduced that some provinces, municipalities, and enterprises in China have provided medical aid to the United States, and health departments and prevention and control experts in China and the United States have also maintained communication. Ma Xiaowei, director of the National Health Committee of China, and the United States Health and Minister of Public Services Aza spoke on the phone and exchanged views on the progress in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in the two countries and the next step of cooperation.
"We are also willing to provide help and support within our capacity." Hua Chunying said that China also hopes that some US officials can implement the spirit of the two heads of state to create more favorable conditions for the two countries to cooperate in the fight against epidemics. (Finish)
