China Angry with America on Alert Over Coronavirus?
Home > News Shots > World newsBeijing on Friday came down heavily on the United States for asking people to avoid travelling to China and urging those who had already made such plans to cancel the same, reports AFP. The US State Department has raised its warning alert to the highest level, telling Americans to avoid China.
“Certain US officials’ words and actions are neither factual nor appropriate,” China’s foreign affairs ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said in a statement. “Just as the WHO recommended against travel restrictions, the US rushed to go in the opposite way. Certainly not a gesture of goodwill,” he further added.
US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross also came under heavy criticism for suggesting that Coronavirus could get more jobs for American.
Meanwhile, the first case of person-to-person transmission of the virus on American soil was confirmed Thursday -- a man in Chicago allegedly caught it from his wife, who had travelled to Wuhan, the epicentre of the deadly virus.
