UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has said Beijing’s handling of the early stages of the novel coronavirus spread must be scrutinized once the current crisis is under control. But China must be honest about its actions, he noted.
Wallace was asked by radio station LBC whether China has questions to answer over how quickly it notified the world about the extent of the Covid-19 outbreak. “I think it does,” he replied.
Wallace said that Beijing needs to be “open and transparent about what it learnt; its shortcomings, but also its successes.”
