WHO chief: Praise for China's response to Covid-19 epidemic is genuine

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

BRUSSELS (China Daily/ANN): Leaders of the World Health Organization have applauded China's massive response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus multiple times in recent weeks, and they have also been challenged by some sceptical reporters as to why they kept praising China.

When a Euronews reporter again raised the question at a news conference on Wednesday (Feb 12) evening, asking if it was the Chinese government that asked the WHO for praise in order to save face, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus became emotional.
