As the coronavirus death toll surges in the United States, Chinese and US health officials have pledged to work together to combat the pandemic, in their first telephone exchange in two months.
According to China’s National Health Commission website, the phone call between its minister Ma Xiaowei and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar took place on Monday night and included an assurance from Ma that China was willing to work with the US in managing the outbreak.
It was the first move towards medical cooperation between the two countries after last week’s phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump, when both leaders agreed they must work together to contain the spread of the virus.
Ma said the situation in China was continuing to improve, with the country’s health service returning to normal operations. He also said the two countries had maintained their long-standing cooperation and that China was willing to work with the US in sharing information, experience and technology in fighting the outbreak.
“China is willing to work with the international community, including the US, with an open, transparent and responsible attitude,” he said.
Azar was quoted on the website praising China’s efforts and progress in fighting the disease, and saying that the US hoped to strengthen cooperation with China.

It’s a Trap!
True. Any time you work with a Democrat or Communist you are going to get screwed.
I wonder if our President is trying to get an idea of how it can be managed and slowed down? I’m sure he has a plan. I would nuke the bastards but who am I.
Sure, let’s work together so that after this is over we send China back to the Mao days.
China is the World’s Enemy!
Eff these commie bass turds.
They be lyin’ **s.
I don’t think so!
China is perhaps the most untrustworthy nation on earth (well, maybe second, just behind Iran; then comes Russia).
Only the hopelessly politically correct believe any data, statistics or promises coming out of official Communist China. Political correctness is a perpetual state of self delusion.
Or at least Trump is saying that in his capacity as the nation’s top diplomat.
When this is over I suspect the reality will be somewhat different.
“YOU LIE!”
I don’t trust them. Not for a New York Minute!
To Hell with China.
Its a classic. Trojan Horse.
Yeah. Iran is completely untrustworthy, but we have long since reached a point with them where we don’t even put ourselves in any position where trust is either a prerequisite or expected.
Maybe...just maybe we can reach that point with China. I think we need to.
Beware of Greeks, er, Chinese bearing gifts.
The Chinese do NOTHING without some ulterior motive benefiting themselves to a much greater degree than may be conferred upon those who choose to collaborate on anything.
Chuck Fina.
This is their propaganda.
Fortunately, the Chinese suck at this.
While we’re allegedly working together these Chicoms will be stealing our technology faster than we can create it.
No. Hell no.
