China responded to President Trump's use of the term "Chinese virus," with a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saying that the U.S. should play a "constructive role" to safeguard international public health.

“We hope that the United States will respect objective facts, respect international public opinion, do its own thing, stop constantly shifting its attitude, stop slandering other countries, and shifting responsibilities,” Geng Shuang, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday.

The president has defended his use of term, saying in a press conference, "it's not racist at all, no. It comes from China." He was photographed on reading from notes on Thursday at a coronavirus press conference with the word "corona" crossed out and replaced with "Chinese."

I get the feeling that President Trump won’t pay much attention to this.

We need to get China out of the affairs of the rest of the world.

We only started calling it Chinese Flu after China accused America of starting it.

CHINA and it’s mantra can go to H-ll!

CHINA is solely responsible for this world wide pandemic!

They can’t even promote themselves as they try to Lie their way out. China owns all the deaths and hardships caused by the C-Virus!

President Trump should declare all US financial debt to China is PAID UP in Full as of this C-virus which the Chinese created and OWN.

A “constructive role” would have been to acknowledge it in Wuhan in the first place and immediately allow WHO & CDC officials in to investigate.

“Stop slandering and play a productive role...”

Gee, where have we heard this sort of phrasing before? Hmmmm...

Sultan Erdogan: “It’s time for the world to stop buying into the lie of the so-called “Armenian Genocide”... Stop slandering the People of Turkey, and play a more productive role!”

IAW/BDS/Muslim Brotherhood: “It’s time for the world to stop buying into the lie of AshkeNAZI Khazar so-called “Jewish” impostors and invaders. Stop slandering the Palestinians, who are the true and proper owners of this land, and play a more productive role!”

/blah blah blah, ad-infinitum.
