Accusations against China from the United States heard for a long time. The administration of Donald trump blames Beijing of concealing information about the epidemic, which has led to the pandemic of coronavirus. However, this accusation is not the end – one of the topics discussed were again protests in Hong Kong, where the local population is outraged by a new bill that threatens their autonomy. The US government accuses China of disregard for civil rights, while China’s leaders urging the United States not to interfere in their internal Affairs.
Advisor to Donald trump on national security, Robert O’brien, appeared on several political talk shows and made a number of important statements.
So, O’brien declared that China was guilty of concealing information, which “will go down in history, along with Chernobyl.”
In fact, a senior White House official openly accused Beijing that the concealment of the epidemic of the coronavirus was a deliberate step. This lies, in the opinion of the adviser cost “many thousands of lives in America and around the world.”
In the program on CBS Robert O’brien made a loud statement – in his opinion, Beijing knew of the impending crisis back in November, but chose to keep it secret.
“We don’t know who in the Chinese government did it, but it doesn’t matter whether it was local government or the Communist party of China,” he said.
O’brien said that we are talking about deliberate misinformation, and suggested that someday this will take the series, similar to what was made about the events of the Chernobyl accident.
However, one accusation of China in covering up large-scale disasters Advisor trump did not stop. He harshly reacted to the recent actions of China to Hong Kong.
recently, Beijing has taken a number of measures aimed at the suppression of the autonomy of the special administrative region. China introduced the national security bill, severely restricting separatist aspirations in Hong Kong. Again in response there were mass rallies for freedom from the pressure of Beijing, which was dispersed by the police.
Robert O’brien firmly voted against suppressing the protests in Hong Kong. Adviser to trump threatened that the White House may impose sanctions against China if China is going to “capture” in Hong Kong. The United States insists on the implementation of the agreement of 1984, when the Communist party of China promised that Hong Kong will retain autonomy until 2047.
the Answer to China’s foreign Ministry did not long in coming: foreign Minister Wang And criticized the U.S. position, saying that the situation is “on the brink of a new cold war.”
According to the Chinese Minister, “the cries of the victims on the investigations��AI and damages, as well as falsification of the so – called evidence is a violation of international law and the renunciation of the human conscience. It has no connection with reality, does not correspond to common sense and devoid of legal basis”.
the Minister of foreign Affairs of China warned the United States against intervention in the internal Affairs of the country. Official Beijing considers illegal attempts by the trump to interfere in the politics of China and to support the “separatists”. Wang Yi said that “the time has come for the United States to abandon its desire to change China” otherwise relations between the two countries can be seriously affected.
it Seems that the most likely path of development in us-China relations in the near future. For the administration to trump the charge of China at the beginning of the pandemic – convenient position in light of the November elections, and for the PRC coronavirus crisis was a unique opportunity “under the guise” to make the necessary change in legislation, in relation to Hong Kong. At this point it seems unlikely that any of the parties will back down from its position in the near future.
