Us intelligence has found no reason to hide data on the coronavirus in China, says the Agency Associated Press with reference to the documents of the Ministry of internal security of the United States.
according to the USA, Beijing deliberately concealed the severity of a pandemic in order to have time to stock up on the necessary medicines for the treatment of patients. “China has increased imports and reduced exports of medical supplies,” — said the source Agency.
According to the analysis, Beijing allegedly tried to hide it, denying the existence of export restrictions, confusing and delaying the provision of its trade data.
on 30 April it was reported that U.S. Secretary of state Michael Pompeo said that the Chinese authorities concealed the information about the coronavirus. He said that in the end Beijing will be held responsible for lost data.
In early April, US intelligence presented the White house a secret report, which said that China hides true extent of the epidemic of coronavirus in the country. In particular, Beijing was suspected of underestimation as the total number of cases of infection and deaths from infection. U.S. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo has publicly called for China and other countries to be transparent in relation to statistics on the coronavirus.
Us President Donald trump, in turn, promised to bring China to justice and to put forward financial claims.
