China 'open, transparent' about coronavirus, US can't 'bully' Beijing, envoy to UK says

The Chinese government has been “transparent, open” and “very quick” in its response to the coronavirus outbreak, Beijing’s ambassador to the United Kingdom said Thursday.

Liu Xiaoming urged international cooperation during the pandemic and said “blaming” and “bullying” would just create a wedge between nations.

The United States thinks “they can bully China, they think they can bully the world," he continued in an online news conference with a member of Britain's House of Lords. "If WHO [the World Health Organization] do not act in their way, they stop supplying, they stop support. They criticize WHO to be China-centric, that’s not right."

Liu compared America's actions regarding China to 19th-century colonial wars.

“Some politicians, some people, want to play at being the world’s policeman - this is not the era of gunboat diplomacy, this is not the era when China was a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society," he said.

How much of a kickback is this clown getting, or do the chicoms have his family hostage?

I wonder if this fellow had a previous occupation that involved selling ocean front real estate lots located in Nebraska or Saskatchewan.

Every time an American would look at an item for where it was made in it came from this country (China). Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried. Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader,

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy.
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting Asian ports before CCWN Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus broke out in Italy .
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .

“ Liu Xiaoming urged international cooperation during the pandemic”

The time for that was in December 2019.

>>>>>>
The ambassador’s words, which aimed at criticising Trump government, can be seen as a thinly veiled warning to little Britain. In 19th century, it was the British empire’s gunboats(in the opium wars) that plunged China into the miserable semi-colonial, semi-feudal society.

“Liu compared America’s actions regarding China to 19th-century colonial wars.”

Where Britain won by addicting the Chinese to opium?

That’s an apt comparison, given China’s current sky-high Fentanyl production and smuggling to the US.

It's true -- China is a fully colonialist, ruthless dictatorship. Period.
