Putin and Xi Attack Attempts to Blame China for Late Virus Response

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Thursday rejected as counterproductive attempts to blame Beijing for delaying informing the world about the coronavirus, the Kremlin said.

Putin and Xi spoke after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration berated China for not sharing data more quickly. 

Washington is also investigating the origins of the coronavirus — which has killed more than 138,700 people worldwide — saying it doesn’t rule out that it came from a laboratory researching bats in Wuhan, China.

The Kremlin said that during phone talks with Xi on Thursday Putin praised “consistent and effective actions” of the Chinese “which allowed the epidemiological situation in the country to stabilise.”

The leaders did not reference the White House directly but stressed the “counterproductiveness” of attempts to blame China for not informing the world about the appearance of a dangerous new infection quickly enough.

Since emerging in China late last year, the pandemic has turned the world upside down, forcing half of humanity indoors and sending the global economy into freefall.

Putin and Xi also stressed the two countries’ “strategic partnership” and said Russia and China were ready to help each other during the pandemic by exchanging specialists and supplying medical equipment, protective gear and medicines, the Kremlin said.

“The two leaders expressed confidence that our countries will be able to successfully overcome the pandemic-related challenges by continuing to closely cooperate,” Putin’s office said.

  1. “The leaders did not reference the White House directly but stressed the “counterproductiveness” of attempts to blame China for not informing the world about the appearance of a dangerous new infection quickly enough.”

    This is just part of the problem. This problem would not have reared it’s ugly head in the first place, had the Chinks clamped down on these disgusting wet markets, or not allowed this bat virus to escape from a lab. Of course Putin backs the Chinks, he has no other option, or else he loses support in the UN.

  2. ‘Putin praised “consistent and effective actions” of the Chinese “which allowed the epidemiological situation in the country to stabilise.”’

    What about the rest of the world? Had the commie fuckers handled the situation correctly nothing would have gone wrong.

    Not only did the bat eaters fail to close their borders and airports to the world, but instead they even criticized other countries who did cancel flights from China.

    China will never be trusted again. Same goes for Russia, Turkey and the WHO.

  3. It is fashionable to believe that Russia and China do not get on. The reverse is true. Totalitarian lying scum regimes tend to stick together. Russians are informed by their state controlled media a number of variations: 1/ that the source of the virus is unknown, but nothing to do with the chicoms, or 2/ The virus was smeared by British agents on door handles in Wuhan (nice improvisation by those filthy cunts to incorporate Salisbury), 3/ US military placed the stuff there on an official visit to Wuhan, or finally 4/ covid is spread via 5G by ‘zionists’ seeking world domination. This last one is being pushed by Russian agent and lowlife dirtbag David Icke; who needs to be swinging, like his historical counterpart Lord Haw Haw. (AKA William Joyce).

    • Well the little yellow invader has chosen sides. Good. Now Moskovia can go down with the bat eaters when the ICC decides China’s guilt. It also means Moskovia is fukkd when the payouts come…wrong side of history…..again.
