The president told the World Health Assembly that China has 'acted with openness, transparency and responsibility' during the pandemic.
Xi said China has"acted with openness, transparency and responsibility" during the pandemic, while providing the WHO and relevant countries with information"in the most timely fashion" and"without reservation.", accusing the United Nations body of facilitating China's alleged cover up efforts—and announced a raft of measures to assist developing nations in their fight against the virus.
Xi said China would provide $2 billion over two years to support affected nations, and that Beijing would work with the U.N. to set up a global humanitarian response depot and hub within China, ensuring the operation of vital anti-pandemic supply chains with the help of"fast track transportation and customs clearance."
In Africa, China will establish a"cooperation mechanism for its hospitals to pair up with 30 African hospitals and accelerate the building of the Africa [Centres for Disease Control and Prevention] headquarters to help the continent ramp up its disease preparedness and control capacity." The president added that he would make any Chinese-produced vaccine a"global public good" and ensure its"accessibility and affordability in developing countries." Xi added that China will work with fellow G20 nations to agree debt service suspensions for the poorest countries facing economic strain due to the pandemic.
