It's been several weeks that they oppose, by interposed statements: the United States and China continue to exchange blows this Thursday. Beijing denounced "false" statements by the United States, in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's remarks, criticizing (again) the management of the epidemic by China.
The US president renewed his attacks on China on Wednesday, saying "it should never have happened." “It was the worst attack our country has ever faced. This is worse than Pearl Harbor, "said Donald Trump on Wednesday, referring to Japan's surprise attack on the US military base in Hawaii in 1941, which pushed the United States into World War II. "It's worse than the World Trade Center," he added, referring to the September 11, 2001 attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead. “It could have been stopped at the source. It could have been stopped in China, "he said.
A “discordant” American sound
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that "many countries, experts and scholars have all made positive comments about China's prevention and control of the virus" . "Only the United States produces discordant, untrue and hypocritical sounds," she added.
"The enemy facing the United States is called the new coronavirus," said Hua Chunying, calling on the Americans to "fight alongside China as comrades rather than enemies." "It is a shame to see that some in the United States blame others instead of taking responsibility," she said.
China has managed to limit the spread of Covid-19 disease to less than 83,000 infections, including 4,633 fatal, according to official figures. The United States, on the other hand, is the most affected country in the world, with more than 73,000 deaths.
