Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin championed the principle of multilateralism in their U.N. remarks but U.S. President Donald Trump weaponized his speech against Beijing and the WHO.
The leaders of China and Russia dedicated their annual United Nations remarks to praising the dawn of a more multipolar world, while President Donald Trump took the podium to attack the Chinese Communist Party and to defend U.S. leadership.
The widely-disparaged term refers to the novel coronavirus pandemic, stemming from the COVID-19 disease that was first observed in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. The U.S. leader has solely blamed the People's Republic for having"unleashed this plague onto the world," as he said Tuesday. "The Chinese government and the World Health Organization—which is virtually controlled by China—falsely declared that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission," Trump said."Later, they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the disease.""The United Nations must hold China accountable for their actions," Trump said.
"No country has the right to dominate global affairs, control the destiny of others, or keep advantages in development all to itself," Xi said."Even less should one be allowed to do whatever it likes and be the hegemon, bully or boss of the world. Unilateralism is a dead end."
