China Says Trump ‘Shirking Responsibility’ To WHO
Beijing on Tuesday accused Donald Trump of smearing China and shirking American responsibilities to the World Health Organisation, after the US president threatened to pull out of the UN health body.
China in response accused Trump of trying to “smear China” and “shirk responsibility and bargain over its international obligations to the WHO”, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press briefing Tuesday. More than 317,000 people have died of COVID-19 out of nearly 4.8 million infections worldwide, and governments are scrambling to contain the virus while seeking ways to resuscitate their hammered economies.
“The only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence from China,” Trump’s letter read.
