Chinese journalists investigating the outbreak have gone missing.
WASHINGTON — President Trump continued on Wednesday to search for parties to blame for the coronavirus pandemic, once again pointing fingers at the World Health Organization but also castigating China for deceiving the rest of the world about the scope of the outbreak.
The official coronavirus statistics for China include 83,356 infections and 3,346 deaths, the majority of both in Hubei province, where the virus appears to have originated in a wet market. Aggressive lockdown measures surrounding the pandemic’s epicenter in the city of Wuhan have been credited with ending the outbreak in China, so much so that life is returning to normal even in Wuhan itself.
Trump had previously called the disease “the Chinese virus,” but later backed off that terminology, which many deemed racist. He has significant reasons not to offend China’s leaders, since the U.S. is importing medical supplies from China to help combat the spread of the coronavirus, and Beijing recently agreed to buy $200 billion in American goods. That deal put an end to a ruinous trade war between the two nations.
Story continues“The Chinese government has lied at every step in this pandemic,” Miller told Yahoo News on Wednesday evening. “In fact, this outbreak might not have even reached pandemic proportions if the Chinese Communist Party hadn’t lied and covered up the coronavirus.”
