Downing Street says China faces a 'reckoning' over their handling of coronavirus
[MAIL] Boris Johnson’s allies turned on China over the coronavirus crisis yesterday, as Britain’s death toll from the epidemic reached four figures.Ministers and senior Downing Street officials said the Communist state now faces a ’reckoning’ over its handling of the outbreak and risks becoming a ’pariah state’. They are furious over China’s campaign of misinformation, attempts to exploit the pandemic for economic gain and atrocious animal rights record. The Prime Minister, who now faces Cabinet calls to reverse his decision to let controversial Chinese firm Huawei build large parts of Britain’s new 5G telecoms network, today warns that the epidemic is likely to worsen in the coming weeks ‐ but that he expects the British ’spirit’ to overcome the crisis. In a letter to 30 million households, Mr Johnson ‐ who was yesterday working in self-isolation in Downing Street after testing positive for the virus ‐ says: ’Things will get worse before they get better.’ Posted by: Besoeker 2020-03-30 |
