China refuses to help Hadi’s government against Corona

ADEN, May 31 (YPA) – China has rejected a request from Sultan al-Barkani, speaker of parliament in Saudi-backed Hadi government, to provide medical assistance to counter the new coronavirus Covid-19 virus.

“Yemeni news portal” website reported on Saturday that the Chinese ambassador to Yemen Kang Yong responded to his country’s rejection of the request for al- al-Barkani’s request, which requested china’s help in confronting Corona in Yemen.

The website explained that the Chinese ambassador informed the “Hadi government” that the volume of Chinese assistance to cope with the virus “Covid-19″ is determined according to official data issued by governments, and that the number of infections in Yemen according to the National Committee for the Response of Corona did not exceed 300 infections, and this number is not large compared to other countries.

The website confirmed that the Chinese ambassador replied saying that” there are more than 150 countries requesting assistance from China since the beginning of the outbreak, at a time when China itself is still suffering from the epidemic.

China has experienced a sharp economic decline, and still facing many difficulties and pressures, according to the Chinese ambassador’s response.

Activists have commented that the Chinese ambassador’s response is diplomatic, revealing the international community’s distrust of this government, which lives outside Yemen, is far from Yemeni reality.
