China supports review of global response to pandemic, as calls for inquiry grow | ITV News

Описание: China's President Xi Jinping has said his country will support a review of the global response to the coronavirus pandemic after it is brought under control.

Speaking via video-conference at the start of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) annual assembly, Mr Xi also said his country would provide £1.6 billion over two years to help with the response to the pandemic.

His comments come amid calls for an independent inquiry into the origins of the pandemic - led by Australia - while in the US President Donald Trump has accused the WHO of helping China to "cover up" the extent of the initial Covid-19 outbreak.
