Chinese President Xi Jinping Defends Country's Handling of COVID-19


Global News: Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on Monday during the World Health Organization's (WHO) world health assembly that China was pledging US$2 billion over two years to the COVID-19 response.

Xi also called for an independent review of the global response to the coronavirus under the WHO once the virus was under control.

The president also defended his country's own handling of the pandemic, stressing it had acted "with openness, transparency, and responsibility," in response to ongoing criticisms from the U.S. over its early handling of the virus.
