China has donated another US$30 million to the WHO after US President Donald Trump announced his intention to suspend funding to the global health body, accusing it of siding with Beijing on the coronavirus outbreak.
It is the second time China – where the first cases of the virus were reported late last year – has provided additional funding to the World Health Organisation during the pandemic, after it announced a US$20 million donation in early March.
Beijing has pledged to step up support for the Geneva-based organisation after repeated criticism of its response to the crisis, including from Trump, who claims the WHO mismanaged and covered up the spread of the virus and was too trusting of Beijing.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang announced the latest donation on Thursday, saying the combined US$50 million would “support the global fight against Covid-19 and strengthen developing countries’ health systems”.
Geng added that China’s contribution to the UN agency “reflects the support and trust of the Chinese government and people for the WHO”.
Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying reinforced the message on Twitter, saying the funding would be used to help developing countries.
“At this crucial moment, supporting WHO is supporting multilateralism and global solidarity,” she said in the tweet.

GOOD....the WHO is a LIBERAL MONEY PIT1
I am sure they did. Quid pro quo.
I’m betting Bill Gates donates the same as what we withdrew.
Why is the real question. Why invest in a leftist sinkhole unless you have something to gain?
Just reinforces the President’s position on the W.H.O.
Guess those globalist bands didn’t raise enough last weekend to counter President Trump’s freeze on our contribution?
Yep.
They are buying WHO to keep the narrative out of their bio-weapons lab.
They own them. They might as well feed them.
And Bill Gates and Hollywood donated more millions, so WHO came out ahead. Good for them. We don’t ever need to give them another dime.
“A more mature response would be based on mutual civilizational respect, asking—what can we learn from what the Chinese are doing, how can we help them, and how can they help us to keep up as they create their brave new world?”

Chinese Eugenics (VERY IMPORTANT READ)
Well before the funding fiasco the WHO was just unreliable but now with China picking up some of the slack they just out and out useless.
Geng added that China’s contribution to the UN agency “reflects the support and trust of the Chinese government and people for the WHO”.........I doubt that the Chinese PEOPLE have much influence with WHO, or much of anything for that matter.
China owns the WHO, they may as well pay to run it.
