US President Donald Trump has recently warned China. He said that Chine will have to pay a big price for the spread of coronavirus globally.
In a video posted on Twitter from the Rose Garden outside the Oval Office, Trump blamed China for the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the video he said: “It wasn’t your fault that this happened. It was China’s fault. And China’s going to pay a big price for what they’ve done to this country. China is going to pay a big price for what they’ve done to the world. This was China’s fault. Just remember that.”
In recent months the Trump administration has initiated several actions against China, including imposing visa restrictions on the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have also been reaching out to their counterparts across the world against China.
On Wednesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee released its final report on the origins of COVID-19. In the report, Congressman Brian Mast said: “The big takeaway should come as no surprise: China actively lied to the World Health Organisation and did their best to cover up the virus.”
He said: “China’s total lack of transparency and mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, millions of jobs and left untold economic destruction. Sadly, this isn’t new behaviour for China. The CCP has a long history of manipulation and it’s well-past time we hold them accountable for their crimes. Together, we must ensure that nothing like this ever happens again!”
Meanwhile, US Senator Rick Scott in a letter to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has urged to immediately consider and pass his resolution condemning the human rights violations in China.
Underlining that over one million Uyghurs are being held in concentration camps in China and Hong Kong residents are being arrested and denied the basic rights they were promised, Scott in his resolution had urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to move the 2022 Games out of China.
