(Bloomberg) -- Beijing is growing increasingly angry at countries imposing harsh travel restrictions on visitors from China as the world tries to contain the spread of a deadly coronavirus.

Authorities have registered “strong objections” with countries who have cut flights to China during the outbreak, foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Thursday. She said countries were ignoring recommendations from the World Health Organization and International Civil Aviation Organization, which have advised against canceling flight routes and limiting travel to affected nations.

“We deplore and oppose those countries who went against WHO’s professional recommendations and ICAO’s bulletins,” Hua said. “Their actions, which sowed panic among the public, will not help prevent and control the epidemic. They have gravely disrupted normal personnel exchanges, international cooperation, and order of the international market for air transportation.”

Her comments are some of China’s harshest words yet for countries including the U.S., Australia and Singapore, which are barring non-resident visitors from mainland China, restricting flights and canceling already-issued visas.

Even Hong Kong, which returned to Chinese rule in 1997, has closed border crossings and said it will soon implement a 14-day quarantine for anyone entering the city from the mainland.

China has already criticised the U.S. for its travel restrictions. Conversely, it has lavishly praised some of its traditional and more financially dependent allies, including Pakistan -- which canceled flights but quickly reversed course and started them again.

Long-serving Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, whose country has received billions in Chinese investment in recent years, has been one of China’s staunchest allies and is even visiting the country this week.

“Cambodia has shown that a friend in need is a friend indeed,” China’s foreign ministry said in a statement, as the Cambodian leader met Chinese President Xi Jinping. “Prime Minister Hun Sen not only has spoken up for China on multiple occasions, but also is visiting China today. All this is testament to the unbreakable friendship and deep trust between the two countries.”

Refusing to evacuate his citizens, the prime minister has said Cambodians in mainland China “have to remain there and join the Chinese people to fight this disease.” That’s even as many have criticized local Chinese officials for hiding the scale and severity of the outbreak, allowing it to spread globally.

“At a time when China’s handling of the epidemic is being criticized around the world, Beijing is seeking -- and getting -- support from its tried and true friends like Hun Sen,” said Bonnie Glaser, a senior adviser for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “With many Western countries ending flights to China and encouraging their citizens to evacuate, China undoubtedly feels isolated and wants to show its people that they still have friends.”

The outbreak of the deadly new coronavirus, which is thought to have originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, has prompted Chinese authorities to order an unprecedented lock down of around 50 million people in Hubei province as China struggles to halt the spread of the virus.

Fucking commie chinks. Now they want the rest of the world to carry on as if nothing is wrong? Fuck 'em!

I spoke to 7 Chinese suppliers today out of concern for their wellbeing. We discussed a little about what's happening in China too as the have no idea what is happening in their own country due to censorship. Now 5 out of 7 asked me if USA is to be blamed for this, I asked why they said USA maybe angry over the recent lost to China in the Trade War. I almost feel off my chair.

Clearly the entire world knew China lost that Trade War as the entire agreement is what China need to do this and do that. So now the CCP is brainwashing their citizens to blame US for planting biological weapons in China. WTF!

Did you tell them China lost? Deplorable CCP, dishonest, corrupted. I hope somehow there will be a revolution in the country because of this massive fuck up.

The Chinese medical infrastructure had collapsed ( hardware and software ).The CCP had not invested sufficiently in the medical facilities for the medical welfare of the Chinese citizens for the last 10 years.

Provincial governments are issuing orders to their local police and customs to hijack trucks laden with medical supplies passing by their province en route another province.

The tight control of media and censorship and internet firewall is what make up China.
Some call it great china or poor China.
They cannot give up this method.
Most people inside does not really know what is outside their box

Actually, all governments and their msm cannot be trusted 100%. It's just how much they want to lie and cover up. They employ spin doctors to do their bidding. CCP news is possibly the most deceitful. Hence, when they blow their own trumpet on their military hardware - jets, aircraft carriers, we take it with a huge dose of salt. Of course, the commie chink lovers in this forum will lap it all up with glee.
