Coronavirus outbreak: France criticises China
The European country of France has strongly criticised the Asian country of China – where the disastrous coronavirus outbreak originated several months ago – for the way the Asian country has handled the virus outbreak, a day after a Chinese official website stated the European country left its elderly population in its care homes to destiny.
French President Emmanuel Macron has come out openly against China, questioning the Asian country’s handling of the virus outbreak.
He has contradicted the claim that the Asian country has handled the virus outbreak better than its European counterparts.
France has summoned the Chinese ambassador to the European country to express its dissatisfaction towards the statement published in the Chinese website handled by the Chinese embassy in the country.
Meanwhile, Beijing has taken a non provocative stand in this matter. It has expressed its disinterest to open up an issue because of this statement. It has clarified that it has no intension to make a negative comment against any European country including France.
France is one of the worst hit countries in the continent of Europe. France is now in a recovering stage. Its handling of the outbreak is in fact exceptional.
It is yet to be known how the statement will affect the France-China relation.
