Beijing (AFP) - China on Friday denied Western suggestions it had covered up the extent of its coronavirus outbreak and rejected US allegations it has an overly cozy relationship with the World Health Organization.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian acknowledged that the virus's rapid spread had contributed to undercounting that resulted in China raising its death toll earlier Friday, but added "there has never been any concealment, and we'll never allow any concealment."
The allegations China is too close to the World Health Organization (WHO), were an attempt at "smearing" Beijing, Zhao said.
US President Donald Trump has questioned China's handling of the pandemic and whether it had been completely transparent since the virus emerged in the central city of Wuhan late last year.
On Thursday, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and French President Emmanuel Macron also expressed doubts about China's virus response.
Zhao said such miscounting was to be expected in the initial stages of a major disease outbreak.
Asked about the US allegations, Zhao defended the WHO and China.
"I think they are all smearing China and cooking up stories about China," he said, without specifying which countries he was referring to.
China has largely brought the contagion under control domestically via tough measures including the unprecedented lockdown of Wuhan and tens of millions of people in surrounding areas, but not before it spread worldwide.

China needs to glow in the dark, but it won’t. Will the radiation from a nuclear blast kill CV 19? Maybe we should have an FDA 18 month experiment. sarc/
Keep digging, your day is coming.

China lies. China is a**hoe!
As our friend from HK so eloquently stated.

Arrogance like this will eventually be put down. I don’t know the date but nature itself will call if nothing else.
China will pay the price for its negligence.
The reputation of its Communist Party is thoroughly destroyed and this event will accelerate the disinvestment in China.
One good consequence could be that political reform is on the way, though with their constant surveillance of their people, rebels tend to get squashed.
Despite the myriad of reports indicating that China scrubbed, burned, etc. all the bio-labs research records, etc.?
Yeah, okie dokie, China.
More red flag BS.
that was great - thx
Bet the folks at Smithfield have had enough visits from their Chinese owners.
After learning that they had a virus outbreak, China restricted travel to and from Wuhan, within China, and let international flights in and out of Wuhan, continue.

President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, Jan. 20. But by that time, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.

Considering 6 days prior WHO was selling their lies, a whole lot of corruption is at play.

@WHO · Jan 14
Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #ChinaFlag of China.
That guy, and that line, went viral on YouTube. There are mixes of it, all kinds of stuff.
What happened to the person who first warned about virus?
CHINA IS ASSHOE
I’d like to add a new one: CCP = COV
China has injured most of the countries in the world in multiple ways, with the Wuhan Virus being the biggest and most recent outrage. Its dictators have proven themselves completely amoral, having not a care who they destroy in their quest for more power. They are the nazis of the 21st century, National Socialists with “Chinese characteristics”.
I hope that the US and the rest of the world will quickly develop alternatives to products from China in order to starve them economically and eventually cause the downfall of the Chinese Communist Party. China must be shunned until their people rise up and create an acceptable government!
The Chinese, like the Japanese, have always believed in their racial superiority. I found the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan to be much less xenophobic than either the Japanese or the Chinese.
That person is most likely ashes by now, resting in some landfill.
And then they raise the death toll.
And they will keep raising it until everyone is happy.
TRUCK CHINA
CUCK FHINA
YUCK CHINA
Ok, I’ll just come out and say what I mean:
CENSORD.
That felt good.
