Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, completely rejected the U.S. McCarthyite campaign against China in remarks delivered to the 1st Committee of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly, yesterday. “Just now, the U.S. representative has again spread a political virus in the UN and smeared China on COVID-19, which is completely unacceptable. I must point out that shrugging off responsibility won’t cover the mistakes made by the U.S. in combating the pandemic and it also doesn’t fool the international community,” Geng said. “China opposes arms race, upholds multilateralism, implements its obligations under relevant arms control treaties and agreements and supports dialogue and cooperation in the security area. China’s positive contribution to international security and disarmament is widely recognized,” he stressed.
