CHINA urged the US to stop politicising the global coronavirus crisis today, responding to President Donald Trump’s remarks in which he accused Beijing of a cover-up.
Chinese Foreign Minister Geng Shuang insisted that China had kept all relevant bodies, including the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Washington, up to date with its domestic situation in a timely, open and transparent manner.
