China Defends WHO: Lashes Out At US Move To Withdraw by temblor1(m): 3:34pm On Jul 08, 2020 |
CHINA on Wednesday defended the World Health Organization (WHO) and lashed out at the U.S. decision to withdraw from the U.N. body. Foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said the move was “another demonstration of the U.S. pursuing unilateralism, withdrawing from groups and breaking contracts.” WHO is “the most authoritative and professional international institution in the field of global public health security,” Zhao said at a daily briefing. The U.S. departure from the organization “undermines the international anti-epidemic efforts, and in particular has a serious negative impact on developing countries in urgent need of international support,” Zhao said. The Trump administration formally notified the U.N. on Monday of its withdrawal from WHO, although the pullout won’t take effect until next year. That means it could be reversed by a new administration or if circumstances change. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said he would reverse the decision on his first day in office if elected. President Donald Trump has harshly criticized WHO over its response to the coronavirus pandemic and accused it of bowing to Chinese influence. Trump said in a White House announcement that Chinese officials “ignored” their reporting obligations to WHO and pressured the organization to mislead the public about an outbreak that has now killed more than 130,000 Americans. The move was immediately assailed by health officials and critics of the administration, including numerous Democrats who said it would cost the U.S. influence in the global arena while undermining an important institution that is leading vaccine development efforts and drug trials to address the coronavirus. The withdrawal notice was sent to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday and will take effect in a year, on July 6, 2021. The U.S. is WHO’s largest donor and provides it with more than $450 million per year, but owes about $200 million in current and past dues. Those financial obligations must be met before a U.S. withdrawal can be finalized. AP https://www.zbcnews.co.zw/china-defends-who-lashes-out-at-us-move-to-withdraw/

It is expected, since WHO entered into this problem with USA because of China. China should now up her contribution to the organisation. 2 Likes |

Just look at China, the authoritarian nation with so much violations talking? The only original thing they've created that has lasted is the Covid 19 virus strain. Well, it's Africa and maybe South East Asia that will bear the brunt as the grave poverty regions of the world, since so many health intervention funding by the WHO in these regions are supported by the USA. The US may only return if Joe Biden wins the presidential elections cos he will reverse this withdrawal decision on his first day in office. |

China should know when to keep shut especially when they know their secretive regime and the WHO non chalant attitude succeeded in spreading covid 19 around the world. By the time many countries (especially countries hit hard) recover from this Corona virus pandemic they will have alot of questions to answer . 1 Like |
