The Chinese government has said it will assist with another $30 million to the World Health Organization (WHO), to help in the fight against COVID-19.
This happened after US president, Donald Trump, said he would freeze funding to the world health organization.
Geng Shuang the Foreign ministry spokesman, says the new donation would be in addition to an initial $20million and would help “strengthen developing countries’ health systems”.
The US, which is the WHO’s biggest contributor, accused the organization last week of “mismanaging” the Coronavirus crisis.
Trump accused the WHO of covering up the seriousness of the Coronavirus outbreak in China before it spread.
According to Trump the WHO is being “very China-centric” despite Washington’s heavy funding.
