February 14, a spokesman for the Embassy in the United States answered reporters’ questions about the statement of the United States related to the coronavirus epidemic.
A few days ago, a senior official in the United States issued a statement saying that the United States will return to the World Health Organization, but required the World Health Organization to adhere to the “highest standards” recognized by the United States, and also required countries to maintain transparency and take effective measures. At the same time, the statement questioned the relevant work being carried out by WHO. What is China’s comment?
China welcomes the United States to return to the World Health Organization. WHO is a multilateral authority in the field of international health, not a playground that comes and goes whenever he wants. What the United States has done in recent years has greatly damaged multilateral mechanisms, including WHO, and greatly hindered international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic. Now the United States acts as if nothing has happened, and even criticizes other countries that have always supported the WHO and the WHO itself. How can such behavior be trusted by the world? We hope that the United States can take the highest standards of self-discipline, earnestly show a serious, transparent and responsible attitude, assume corresponding responsibilities, support the work of WHO with practical actions, and make due contributions to international anti-epidemic cooperation. The world will wait and see.
