According to Blinken, China refused to cooperate with other countries in the early stages of the spread of the coronavirus. This caused the virus to spiral out of control.
“I think China knows that in the early stages of Covid, it did not do what it needed to do. Namely, provide access to international experts in real time,” Blinken says.
As a result, the virus “got out of control faster and, I think, with much more egregious results than it might otherwise have.”
The US Secretary of State stressed that in the case of a transparent exchange of information by China, The World Health Organization could do much more to combat the virus.
