Chinese government officials are angry with the United States over its growing travel ban in the wake of the growing coronavirus outbreak, pointing out that the World Health Organization has said stringent restrictions are not necessary.
“A certain country has turned a blind eye to WHO recommendations and imposed sweeping travel restrictions against China,” Hua Chunying, the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesman, tweeted on Saturday, reports The Washington Post. “This kind of overreaction could only make things even worse. It’s not the right way to deal with the pandemic.”
Further, Hua said that “certain U.S. officials’ words and actions are neither factual nor appropriate.”
Hua complained that such “unfriendly U.S. comments” were “certainly not a gesture of goodwill” toward China as the death toll from the virus continues to grow.
