China because of the situation around the coronavirus for the first time faces serious pressure from the United States, the question arises about China’s readiness for a real fight for world domination, said Russian expert, editor-in-chief of the journal Russia in Global Affairs Fedor Lukyanov.
“The US President Donald Trump promises a “convincing” report proving the artificial origin of coronavirus in Wuhan laboratory and China’s guilt in trying to hide it at the first stage of distribution, which led to a global pandemic. The Head of State Department Pompeo claims that there is “gigantic” evidence of justice of this version. It is interesting what kind of sanctions will be imposed and what Beijing will answer. The second is especially curious, since China has probably not yet encountered such power of pressure. The question arises of China’s readiness for a real battle for world domination, because a compromise is no longer provided for”, – Lukyanov wrote on his telegram channel.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that China in the situation with the emergence of coronavirus “made a mistake and tried to hide it”. According to him, the American side is considering the version that the new coronavirus originated in a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan, and intends to establish its origin.
The American president threatened China with consequences if it turns out that Beijing deliberately allowed the outbreak of COVID-19. Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China stated that China from the very beginning had an open and responsible position regarding the publication of data on the epidemic of coronavirus infection.
