US and China in war of words as Beijing threatens to halt supply of medicine amid coronavirus crisis
Some senior Trump officials refer to ‘Wuhan virus’
The US and China are engaged in a war of words amid suggestions Beijing could cut the supply of medicine in response to the Trump administration’s description of COVID-19 as the “Wuhan virus”.
While health experts in the US and elsewhere have stressed the global nature of the pandemic and sought to avoid blaming China, where the first coronavirus cases were detected, some in the Trump administration have pointed accusatory fingers.

Donald Trump’s national security advisor, Robert O’Brien was even more barbed.
“Rather than using best practices, this outbreak in Wuhan was covered up,” he said, speaking at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington DC. “There’s lots of open-source reporting from China, that the doctors involved were either silenced or put in isolation, or that sort of thing, so that the word of this virus could not get out. It probably cost the world community two months.”

UN Ambassador Zhang Jun told reporters in New York it had provided medical supplies to nations such as South Korea, Japan and Italy.
“We are sending medical teams to countries that need that, and we will do whatever to join the international community to fight this virus because we have only one world, we need to join hands, we need to show solidarity,” he said.
Republican senator Marco Rubio highlighted apparent threats from Beijing to cut off supplies of medicine to the US, amid anger by some to blame China for not acting quickly enough.
Speaking to Fox News, he pointed to an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency, which noted Mr Trump had praised the efforts of Chinese president Xi Jinping to confront the illness.

But the article said initially the US’s reaction to China, including a travel ban, was “very unkind”.

“If China retaliates against the United States at this time, in addition to announcing a travel ban on the United States, it will also announce strategic control over medical products and ban exports to the United States. Then the United States will be caught in the ocean of new coronaviruses,” the article said.
“Also according to the US CDC officials, most of the drugs in the United States are imported…If China banned exports, the United States will fall into the hell of a new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic.”
It added: “We should say righteously that the US owes China an apology, the world owes China a “thank you”.”
Coronavirus fears lead to empty streets and shelves across UK
Mr Rubio said the had been wrong to allow its own medicine manufacturing capabilities moved offshore.
“[China] can threaten to cut us off from our pharmaceutical supplies, they could trigger a domestic problem here that would make it difficult or us to confront them,” he said. “It’s a tremendous amount of leverage.”
Health professionals, who depend on China for access to the country, have publicly praised Beijing for its response. On Capitol Hill, Robert Redfield, director of CDC said this week: “They really have now got control of their outbreak.”
Meanwhile, the state department has summoned the Chinese ambassador after a spokesperson with China’s foreign ministry suggested the US military might have brought coronavirus to Wuhan.

Trump invokes defense production act to fight against coronavirus and lack of medical supplies

National Guard soldiers dressed with sterile coveralls arrive to check the temperature of passengers in San Juan, Puerto Rico, March 17, 2020.
US President Donald Trump has said that he will activate an old wartime act to force American industry to produce essential medical supplies to fight the COVID-19 coronavirus. Trump promised “total victory” over the deadly virus.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Trump announced that he would be activating the Defense Production Act of 1950. The act, written at the outbreak of the Korean War, gives the federal government power to instruct manufacturers to make much-needed equipment, in this case protective masks and ventilators.
“Every generation of Americans has been called to make shared sacrifices for the good of the nation,” Trump said, comparing the efforts to beat the COVID-19 coronavirus to the mass mobilization seen during World War II.

The Trump administration was reportedly weighing invoking the act as far back as February, when the US announced its first non-traceable case of the COVID-19 coronavirus. However, the government’s failure to roll out mass testing for the virus has led to calls from Democrats to activate the wartime legislation, to ensure the US is prepared for the demand placed on the healthcare system.
Trump also announced that two hospital ships would be deployed to house coronavirus patients, one moored in New York and another on the west coast. The Empire state has the biggest number of cases so far.
Though Trump did not state what kind of equipment the Defense Production Act will be used to produce, masks and ventilators are the most likely candidates. Health And Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in February that the US needs a stockpile of around 300 million n95 face masks, and was at the time around 288 million short. In a speech to the Senate before Trump’s conference, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer singled out ventilator shortages as a “massive problem.”
The epidemic has reached all 50 states and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday reported an increase of 2,812 cases from its previous count to 7,087 cases, with death toll rising by 22 to 97. Worldwide, more than 208,000 cases have been recorded since the virus first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan before Christmas.
