Speaking at the UN Security Council meeting on global governance on September 24, Chinese Ambassador Truong Quan criticized the US attacks on Covid-19.
“I must say that is enough. They have caused the world enough trouble, ”Zhang said, denying that China is responsible for the pandemic, according to AFP.
“The United States has nearly 7 million infections and more than 200,000 deaths so far. With the world’s most advanced medical systems and technologies, why is the United States the country with the highest number of infections and deaths? ”Mr. Truong” kicked “the United States.
Those responsible must be some American politicians, said the ambassador. “The United States should understand that its failure to respond to Covid-19 is entirely its fault and that the big ones should behave like the big one,” Truong said.

Earlier, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, repeated President Trump’s words to the General Assembly on September 22 that China must be held accountable for the spread of Covid-19 in the world, according to AP.
“President Trump has made it very clear that we will do anything as long as it is right, even if it doesn’t happen often,” Craft said. On the other hand, the US ambassador said that the lesson learned from the pandemic is that the world needs to unite, not divide, and members must cooperate with each other with transparency and frankness.
Meanwhile, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia regretted that Ms Craft made baseless accusations against another member of the Security Council. Mr. Nebenzia said it was difficult to oppose Ms. Craft’s call for solidarity, but the key to the US ambassador’s statement, both in form and tone, was inconsistent with that call.
