China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, has urged the administrations of President Donald Trump of the United State of America to stop wasting time in its fight against the coronavirus and work with China to combat the virus.
Wang, speaking on Sunday at his annual news conference on the sidelines of China’s parliament, expressed his deep sympathies to the US for the pandemic, where the death toll is expected to surpass 100,000 in the coming days, the highest number of any country.
“What China and the US need to do the most is to first learn from each other and share their experience in fighting against the epidemic and help each country fight it.
“China and the US also need to start coordinating macro policies for their respective economies and the world economy, he added.
He said: “China and the US stand to gain from cooperation, and lose from confrontation.
“China has always advocated that as the world’s largest developing country and the largest developed country, both of us bear a major responsibility for world peace and development.
He advised US and those instituting needles litigation against China to be realistic rather than spreading lies and attacking the Chinese Government and leadership.
“The China of today is not the China of a century ago, and nor is it the world,” he added.
“If you want to infringe upon China’s sovereignty and dignity with indiscriminate litigation, and extort the fruits of the hard work of the Chinese people, I am afraid this is a daydream and you’ll only humiliate yourself.”
Wang also offered his strong support for the World Health Organisation (WHO) and its chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, frequent targets of the US criticism.
