China has responded to the threat by the United States
President, Donald Trump to cut trade ties with it due to the coronavirus
pandemic.
On Friday, China stated that the two countries were better
off as partners.
Ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, gave the position of the
Chinese government at a media briefing.
Lijian noted that China and America should cooperate to end
the pandemic for the sake of reviving economies and rebooting industrial
production.
“The stable development of U.S.-Chinese relations is in the
fundamental interest of people from both countries and is also favourable for
global peace and stability,” Sputnik quoted Lijian as saying.
“China and the United States should now strengthen
cooperation in combating the COVID-19 epidemic in order to defeat the
coronavirus as soon as possible, cure patients, resume production, and develop
the economy”.
President Trump had declared that bilateral ties might be
halted over Beijing’s alleged responsibility for unleashing the coronavirus.
The American leader and his administration’s officials
insist that the virus was developed in a lab in Wuhan, Hubei province.
China strongly denies culpability, explaining that its
policies were transparent throughout the outbreak.
The globe’s most populous nation often refers to World
Health Organisation (WHO) comment that cleared Beijing of any wrongdoing.
This week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the
Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency (CISA) accused China of attempts to hack the ongoing vaccine research on
coronavirus.
The U.S has recorded over 1.4 million cases of coronavirus
and 87,000 deaths.
