CHINA SUGGESTS U.S. IS 'HIDING SOMETHING' ABOUT ITS CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE, DEMANDS AN ANSWER FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

The Chinese government has suggested that President Donald Trump's administration might be hiding something about its response to the coronavirus crisis, as both Washington, D.C. and Beijing trade accusations and disinformation while the pandemic continues to spread.

The Chinese foreign ministry sent a tweet on Monday suggesting there were "growing doubts over the US government's handling of the #COVID19."

"When did the first infection occur in the US?" the foreign ministry asked. "Is the US government hiding something? Why they opt to blame others? American people and the international community need an answer from the US government."

The foreign ministry did not elaborate on the assertions. A State Department spokesperson told Newsweek that the president and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo "regularly answer questions about the U.S. government's handling of the COVID crisis."
