The G7 discussed China’s ‘disinformation campaign’ in a coronavirus meeting, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said
WASHINGTON - The Group of Seven big economies discussed an “intentional disinformation campaign” by China on the coronavirus in a virtual meeting on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, adding that the world still needed accurate information on the outbreak from Beijing.
At a State Department news conference, Pompeo said full transparency was needed to fight the new coronavirus, which he again referred to as the “Wuhan virus,” a term that has angered China. Pompeo said the United States “desperately” wanted to work with every country around the world, including China, “to keep as many people alive, as many people as healthy, and then to restore our economies that have been decimated by the Wuhan virus.”
He said China was trying to claim that is was now the “white hat” in the crisis after making small sales of products around the world, an apparent reference to medical supplies.
