Beijing: China said it hopes the assistance the US announced it would provide to help tackle the novel coronavirus outbreak will take place as soon as possible.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying made the remark yesterday after Reuters quoted US President Donald Trump as saying the US officials had offered China “tremendous help” in dealing with the epidemic.
“We can’t have thousands of people coming in who may have this problem – the coronavirus,” Trump was quoted as saying.
China has noticed that the US has expressed its willingness to provide assistance several times and hopes the assistance said will be extended as soon as possible, Hua said.
China is fully confident in its capacity to win the fight against the virus, Hua said.
The US should view China’s efforts fairly and calmly without overreaction as well as give respect to and coordinate with such efforts, she said. — China Daily/ANN
