China has accused the United States, and Trump in particular, of racism for trying to label the virus Chinese or Wuhan, the city where it first appeared. “WE WILL WIN!”Trump and his allies have said that using the term “Chinese virus” is not aimed at exploiting xenophobic fears among some Americans. It did come from China,” Trump said Tuesday during a news conference at the White House. The administration has angrily denounced official statements in China suggesting that the virus originated in the United States or was spread to China by the U.S. military. He added that Beijing has “every incentive” to ensure that supply chains on pharmaceuticals to the United States remain intact.
