China Marks US Remarks as ‘Untruthful’ after Trump Virus Criticism

By Staff, Agencies

China criticized the United States on Thursday for "disharmonious, untruthful and insincere remarks", after US President Donald Trump took aim again at Beijing's handling of the coronavirus outbreak.

"We urge the US side to stop shifting the blame to China and turn to facts," said foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying at a press briefing.

The remarks were made in response to Trump’s claims that the disease could have been stopped in China.
