In the call with Trump, Xi said that U.S.-China relations are at a critical juncture, and hoped the U.S. would make substantial action in improving the relationship, according to a Chinese-language state media report translated by CNBC.
“Under the current circumstances, China and the U.S. should unite to fight the epidemic,” the report of Xi’s comments said, noting both countries’ health departments and disease control experts have maintained communication.
“The Chinese side is willing to continue to provide information and experience with the U.S. without reservation,” the report added, noting some provinces, cities and businesses in China are providing the U.S. with medical supplies.
“The Chinese side understands the current difficulties of the U.S., and is willing to provide support within (China’s) ability.”
It was not immediately clear from the report whether China would give away supplies, or that it just hopes to sell more. China has donated some supplies externally since the crisis began, as well as accept assistance from outside.
