Beijing's foreign ministry retaliates against US for 'immoral and irresponsible' comments. FMTNews China AmericanTroops Covid19 Coronavirus
The foreign ministry did not offer any evidence that the US military is to blame for the outbreak in China.
On Wednesday, US National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said the speed of China’s reaction to the emergence of the coronavirus had probably cost the world two months when it could have been preparing for the outbreak. Zhao, an avid and often combative Twitter user, did not offer any evidence for his suggestion that the US military might be to blame for the outbreak in China.
China’s efforts to slow the spread had bought the world time to prepare against the epidemic, he added. The administration of US President Donald Trump has pointed to a decision to limit air travel from China at the end of January to fend off criticism that it responded too slowly to the disease. Critics say Trump played down the disease in public and the federal government was slow to roll out tests.
