BEIJING/SHANGHAI - Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Donald Trump during a phone call on Friday that he would have China’s support in fighting the coronavirus, as the United States faces the prospect of becoming the next global epicentre of the pandemic.
Xi’s offer of assistance came amid a long-running war of words between Beijing and Washington over various issues including the coronavirus epidemic.
Trump and some U.S. officials have accused China of a lack of transparency on the virus, and Trump has at times called the coronavirus a “China virus” as it originated there, angering Beijing.
In the call, Xi reiterated to Trump that China had been open and transparent about the epidemic, according to an account of the conversation published by the Chinese foreign ministry.
Trump said on Twitter that he discussed the coronavirus outbreak “in great detail” with Xi.
“China has been through much & has developed a strong understanding of the virus,” Trump said. “We are working closely together. Much respect!”.
The World Health Organization has said the United States, which saw 17,099 new coronavirus cases and 281 deaths in the past 24 hours, is expected to become the epicentre of the pandemic.

Kind of like a rapist telling his victim to put some ice on the affected area.
(Didn't even check to see if there was toilet paper in stock as we still have 47,892 rolls...)
Eff the Chicoms. They are the ones that let this get out of control in the first place. And our money hungry pharmas, FDA and CDC only helped to make matters worse.
It’s diplomacy. We hear the happy talk that makes everyone look good.
Behind the scenes, I imagine things may be different.
Maybe the Chinese are already fearing the consequences, that Trump eventually has in store for them. 🤗
80% of Rapid COVID-19 Tests the Czech Republic Bought From China are Wrong

Trump said. “We are working closely together. Much respect!”
Smart, if difficult tweet for Trump to put out.

Just sayin
Thank you.. I agree.
Anyone famous with the term “Trojan Horse”? How about “Wuhan Pangolin “?
Oh yeah I’m sure he is willing to help in a event 201 Sort of a way. I hope President Trump mention that on the phone that is another one is released he will released multiple nuclear missiles on his butt.
Yup. I suspect the actual conversation went “Okay, Xi, old buddy, old pal, I now know everything about the origins of this virus, and thus I now have you firmly by the shorthairs. If you ever want to make another shipment to Dollar Tree again you’re going to do EXACTLY what I say.”
Or the rapist offering to help the victim with their new child.
