WASHINGTON, May 12 (Xinhua) – Allegations about China’s alleged early failures related to COVID-19 are largely misplaced, a recent report by the expert group said.
“There were no major deficiencies on the part of China in alerting the US and the international public health community,” said a report by Sourabh Gupta, principal investigator at the Washington-based Institute for China-America Studies (ICAS). .
The report indicated that there was no three-week delay in movement in the Chinese extreme. Instead, authorities laser-focused on investigating, isolating, and detecting the early spread of COVID-19.
“For those who argue that the country sat on their hands during the first days of the outbreak, the hectic pace of China’s early response belies their claim,” the report said.

The report said Taiwan did not alert the World Health Organization (WHO) to evidence of person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 on December 31, 2019.
“What Taiwan transmitted to the WHO on December 31 contained information that was no more useful than what the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission had already publicly announced by that date.”
The report noted that a pandemic event that occurs once every 100 years does not lend itself to predictable management and simple solutions, and the United States and the international community have a duty to honestly count on the facts of the early response to the coronavirus. China.
“Despite the early ‘fog of war’, the integrity of the initial response and the successes of the Chinese authorities, particularly in terms of isolating the causative virus and establishing diagnostic tools, overwhelmingly outweigh the failures,” the report said.
