The coronavirus outbreak began in China in late 2019 but Beijing has reported fewer cases and deaths than in the United States, which now has the world’s largest outbreak, with 214 000 confirmed cases and 4 800 deaths. “The numbers seem to be a little bit on the light side – and I am being nice when I say that – relative to what we witnessed and what was reported.”

President with twisted priorities...

worry about your own country Trump

I wonder US President when will he stop his anti- china campaign and focus on his country's problem. Accuracy on China's figures won't change situation in his country.

There's something fishy about this covid19.

Yhooooh why is Beijing is not getting this virus? I'm just so confused and angry to see these statements made on social media.

Not sure the US is credible anymore 😐😐😐😐😐
