You have created enough troubles for the world already,” Zhang said.“Regrettably, we have once again heard noises from the US that are so at odds with the atmosphere of the meeting.”Zhang added that Beijing rejected the “baseless” accusations.The spat came two days after US President Donald Trump used much of his pre-recorded video address to the General Assembly to blame China for the Covid-19 pandemic and for withholding information about the virus.On Tuesday, Trump accused Beijing of “allowing flights to leave China and infect the world” and referred to Covid-19 as the “China virus” on Tuesday.On Thursday, Zhang said the US had only itself to blame.
