Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump suggested he may seek damages from China over the coronavirus pandemic which began in the Chinese city of Wuhan and spread around the world, prompting a furious response from Beijing on Tuesday.
"We are not happy with China," Trump said at a White House briefing Monday. "We are not happy with that whole situation because we believe it could have been stopped at the source.
In Beijing, a foreign ministry spokesman on Tuesday accused US politicians of "telling barefaced lies", without naming Trump specifically, and of ignoring their "own serious problems".
"American politicians have repeatedly ignored the truth and have been telling barefaced lies," Geng Shuang told reporters at a regular press briefing.
"They have only one objective: shirk their responsibility for their own poor epidemic prevention and control measures, and divert public attention."
Geng said US politicians should "reflect on their own problems and find ways to contain the outbreak as quickly as possible."

Yet China is now no longer trusted.
Deny, deny, deny. It is all they have.
They created this and should reap the whirlwind.
Glaring enough evidence that they did it on purpose is that they locked down Wuhan / Hubei so tight to the rest of China light could not get out. At the same time they allowed international flights to as many places as possible continue without any restriction at all. They did this on purpose. They spread this pestilence all around the world and in the US especially.
China has mortally wounded the world.
Quarantine your paymasters?
The CHICOMS pretty much own the port of Mombassa. They are working on Maputo in Mozambique and on subverting South Africa, thrusting south to Richard's Bay.
Panama Canal anyone?
You think Russia interfered with elections, wait until the far more sophisticated Chinese help Biden, who is already on their payroll.
If you are trying to discredit Travis you must be in the pay of the CHICOMS.
China is worried - and rightly so...with this President, there will be a cost.
You’ll have to explain that pretzel.
I am for that. But knowing who actually control the Unites States, I doubt anything will be done. The Congress of the United States Of America has 535 members. 435 Representatives 100 Senators. Of these Communist holds a clear with no liens to at least 530 of them and probably more. They are not going to give up their gravy train and Communist China is not going to give up their property. We, the people, not the politicians are Communists enemy. The politicians are the property of Communist China. What concerns me is them gimmicing the medicine they send over here. They would not have to alter it much and it would be bad for who takes it./p>
The bar is held in place by a cap nut on the outside cover, but it’s kept from moving up and down by a molded-in plastic pin, which broke almost immediately. It is damn near impossible to keep the chain on the bar. I was able to finish what I needed to do (remove two small trees that had blown onto the lawn, with attendant vines still attached). I might pull the motor and ditch the rest of the saw.
I’ve gotten some good stuff from HF (a caliper, some micro screwdrivers, etc., but I’ll be buying American from now on.
I have been on that bandwagon for years.
What WE need to do is convince the SHEEPLE. The stupid people who continue to buy a new iPhone every other year.
The people who buy things on Amazon all the time.
At least when you go to Lowes or Home Depot you can look to see if it was made in China
China isn’t trusted, yet still the provider for most of the world’s medicines. We have our stupid past leaders to thank for that - quite the conundrum.
Frankly they already have gone there, know what I mean?
Looks like the way it's gaming out now is for everyone to go along with the ruse about inelegant little Chinese ladies slurping bat soup at the local wet market... "OKAY YOU GUYS WE REALLY MEAN IT, THAT STUFF HAS GOT TO STOP OR ELSE WE'RE GOING TO GET REALLY REALLY MAD..."
No one really, really wants to go to the place where the truth of the matter leads. One could paraphrase Peter Sellers as POTUS in "Dr. Strangelove"... "I will not go down in history as the man who pushed that button..."
...even if it's been well-known American policy for 50 years, as you astutely remind us, and even if the **-ers deserve it.
So yeah... can't we at least sue them for about $3,000,000,000,001.00 in damages, plus some extra for emotional distress? And can't they be good sports about it?
Why not?
Give Harbor Freight some props. They donated their entire inventory of safety gear to hospitals and first responders.
Actually that isn't the way it is playing out. A lot of countries are filing suits. And Trump and Pompeo have made it clear that they have a lot planned and will let the Chinese know in due course.
Scare the CHICOMS into backing the Dems and then before the election hit the Dems with CHICOM collusion, which Lord knows is the truth anyway.
“...Dumborats could use thier last Hail Mary to try and crash the economy...”
Yes. Also to try to make this President Trump’s Katrina. They tried it with the ventilator “shortage”and now with the testing - President Trump is one step ahead of them.
They also hope to keep Biden from having to debate using the virus and to bring on mail in voter fraud.
None of this is going to work, other than possibly the mail in voting gets passed by the traitor RINOs in the senate.
Yet if more women who got harassed by Mr.Biden over the past few years,then get ready to say good night to Mr. Biden.
Correction: If more women level more complaints then say “good night” to Mr. Biden.
