(Fighting against New Crown Pneumonia) Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: The United States has no basis for accusing China of New Crown Virus
China News Agency, Moscow, May 14 (Reporter Wang Xiujun) On the 14th, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said in a remote speech at the Valde International Debate Club meeting that the United States had no basis for accusing China of the new crown virus.
Ryabkov said that we are worried to see how the United States accuses our strategic partner China. The Russian side has repeatedly expressed its position. It can be concluded that there is no reason to accuse China of taking some untimely, incorrect, or inconsistent measures in the fight against the new coronavirus epidemic. American politicians and diplomats are increasing the list of claims against China almost every day, trying to impose their own anti-Chinese remarks to the international community. The Russian side believes that similar actions by the US are shameful, especially under the crisis of the epidemic.
Ryabkov said that Western countries are forming the view that Russia and China provide medical assistance to other countries during the epidemic to strengthen their regional influence. This position of Western countries is a manifestation of "Russia Fear" and "China Fear".
Ryabkov said that global threats, including the new coronavirus, cannot be solved by one country, and can only be solved on the basis of multi-party cooperation. I hope this crisis will not cause the international community to lose its mind.
Earlier, the Russian side had repeatedly stated that the practice of blaming the epidemic crisis on certain countries and WHO was unfounded. Russian President ’s press secretary Peskov said that Russia has not seen any argument that can confirm the statement that “China has concealed the information of the new crown virus in the early days.” President Putin believes that it is necessary to work together to overcome the new crown virus and gradually rid the world economy of the crisis.
