Beijing has also pressured EU to drop virus disinformation criticism. FMTNews Germany
BERLIN: Chinese diplomats approached German government officials in an attempt to encourage them to make positive statements on how Beijing is handling the coronavirus pandemic, the German interior ministry said in a letter this month.
The comments were first reported by the Welt am Sonntag newspaper. The paper cited the Chinese embassy in Berlin as rejecting the report as untrue and irresponsible. In the letter, the interior ministry said the government had acknowledged China’s efforts to contain the pandemic, particularly since Jan 23, even without being asked to do so by Beijing.
