the New accusations against China because of the pandemic, Covid-19 were born in Germany. The publication Der Spiegel, citing security services, claims that Chinese President XI Jinping ostensibly in January personally requested the Director-General of the world health organization “to delay global warning” about the threat of coronavirus.
according to the German newspaper, referring to data of the Federal intelligence service of Germany (BND), the “on 21 January the leader of China XI Jinping asked for the Manager who Tedros Adhanom of Hebraicus to hide information about transmission of the virus from person to person and to defer the pandemic alert”.
it is estimated the BND, Der Spiegel continues, “because of the information policy of China was lost four to six weeks to fight the virus around the world.”
Soon after the publication of these allegations, the who issued a statement, calling them “unfounded and incorrect”.
“Dr. Tadros and President XI did not talk January 21, and they never talked on the phone. Such inaccurate messages lead away and distract from the efforts of who and the world to end the pandemic Covid-19”, – said in a statement.
the world health organization say China’s confirmed transmission of the new coronavirus from person to person January 20 – that is, before the alleged telephone conversation, XI Jinping, head of the who.
And already on 22 January, the who has publicly stated that the available data give grounds to assume that in Wuhan, there is a transfer of the virus from person to person.
the Chinese news Agency Xinhua, commenting on the accusations of China in the concealment of the facts about the epidemic that led to its widespread distribution, retorted: “the Situation with COVID-19 is a unexpected attack of an unknown virus on humanity. It takes time to learn and understand. China, however, promptly provided the appropriate information to the world in an open, transparent and responsible manner.”
for its part, the American edition of the Washington Examiner argues that “in late December and early January, the Chinese doctors knew what almost certainly is the transmission of coronavirus from person to person, and the Chinese government has silenced medical professionals who tried to reveal this information. However, who tweeted on January 14 that “preliminary investigation by Chinese authorities found no clear evidence of transmission from person to person.”
whatever it was, approval, published the German edition, fit well in the context of sounding the last months of charges because of the pandemic, not only Beijing but the world health organization, which are, in the words of the American President trump, “Chinese-oriented”.
in April, the White house accusedYal who that it becomes a tool of the “Chinese propaganda”, and trump has announced its intention to stop funding this organization. Recently, the American President once again lashed out at the Agency: “the world health organization was a disaster, everything they said was wrong… All they do is agree with China that would China have decided to do.”
the trump believes that there is ample evidence that Beijing has misled the world community: “Personally, I think they made a terrible mistake and didn’t want to admit it.”
According to the report of the Ministry of internal security of the United States, China “deliberately concealed the seriousness” of the pandemic in early January and began stockpiling medical supplies, increasing imports and reducing exports.
meanwhile, according to The Washongton Examiner, concerning the recent reports of conversation between the President of China and Director General of the who Republican Congressman Michael mccaul, who heads the task force of the house of representatives on China, said: “We are still working on confirmation of this information, but if they are true, this is yet another proof that CEO Tedros colluded with the Communist party of China, covering them, and is not suitable for who guidelines”.
According to experts, commenting on the appeared information about the conversation of the leader of China and head of the who, now, any bass string when it comes to accusations of all mortal sins on the part of the United States to China.
“as for What was or was not actually such a conversation, do not know where der Spiegel got this information”, – says head of the sector of the economy and politics of China, Institute of world economy and international Affairs. E. M. Primakov, Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Lukonin.
According to experts, in practical terms, it is doubtful that the US and its allies will take in the near future some measures to “punish” China: “Now it is just talk. While this is only an information campaign trump”.
“the Activities of many countries of the so-called “collective West” fits into that even not agreeing among themselves in any case they unite against China, – says Sergei Lukonin. – Because China is acting as the irritant factor. Therefore, not even in relation to its coordinated strategy, in fact, this strategy seems coordinated. It is clear that if we don’t like, not saying a word would say about him the same. And here we see the same element”.
