China has accused the United States of spreading ‘political virus’ in form lies and conspiracies against its government over the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Foreign Affairs Minister of China, Wang Yi alleged that some politicians in the US have been sponsoring concocted lies against his country following the much controversy the outbreak of the lethal virus in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019 has sparked.
Featuring on CNBC on Sunday, Yi charged the US to stop wasting time in its fight against COVID-19 and collaborate with China in tackling the virus.
According to Yi: “Regretfully, in addition to the raging coronavirus, a political virus is also spreading in the United States. This political virus is using every opportunity to attack and smear China.
“Some politicians have ignored the most basic facts and concocted too many lies about China and plotted too many conspiracies.
“I want to say here: Don’t waste precious time any longer, and don’t ignore lives.
“What China and the United States need to do the most is to first learn from each other and share their experience in fighting against the epidemic.”
