China says U.S. officials making shameless comments on coronavirus data

China's foreign ministry said on Thursday that U.S. officials are making "shameless" comments casting doubt about China's reporting of coronavirus cases in the country.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying reiterated during a daily briefing that China has been open and transparent about the coronavirus outbreak that began in the country late last year, and said the United States should stop politicizing a health issue and instead focus on the safety of its people.
