Wang made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual national legislative session, where he warned that some U.S. political forces are hijacking China-U.S. relations, and efforts should be made to stop the dangerous practice. The attempt would ruin the cooperation results achieved by both peoples over the years, undermine the future development of the United States, and jeopardize stability and prosperity of the world, he said. The COVID-19 epidemic is the common enemy of China and the Unites States, and it is the shared wish of both peoples to support and help each other, he said. China and the United States should share experience of epidemic fight and learn from each other to boost their respective responses, Wang said. Both countries should follow the expectations of the global society to participate in and promote multilateral cooperation against COVID-19 and play a positive role in the global response, he added. At the same time, Wang said that China is open to joint efforts by the international science community to identify the source of the virus, and the process must be professional, impartial and constructive. |
