"For some time, certain U.S. politicians have disregarded facts and vilified and assaulted China in an attempt to shirk their own responsibility for their incompetence in fighting the pandemic, divert people's attention, pass the buck and blame others for their fault. Such behaviors, however, could by no means write off the anti-epidemic achievements the Chinese people have made through hard struggle, but only expose the sinister intentions of certain individuals in the United States and the grave problems with themselves."

China is not interested in meddling in the upcoming presidential election of the United States, said Geng Shuang, spokesman of the Foreign Ministry, at a press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.
"We have stated on many occasions that the presidential election is an internal affair of the United States, and China is not interested in meddling in it. In the meantime, we hope that the United States should not make China an issue in its domestic politics," said Geng in responding to question about U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks in a Wednesday interview that China wants him to lose the election and will do anything to make him lose.
Trump also said he is looking into ways to make China pay for the spread of the COVID-19.
Geng said that the U.S. is shirking its own responsibility and it cannot ignore the achievement the Chinese people have made in the fight against the epidemic.
