China has joined in the denunciation with a state-backed Chinese newspaper reprimanding the presidential mansion as the war of words between the two countries over the coronavirus pandemic continues. Supported by the Chinese Communist Party, People's Daily newspaper-owned Global Times recently published a harsh editorial that attacks America's response to COVID-19 as the number of confirmed cases across the country surpasses an alarming 1 million on Tuesday.

People's Daily newspaper is the Chinese Communist Party's official publication. Claiming that the United States is no superpower, the aforesaid article highlighted the infection toll in the country, which is currently at 1,012,583 with 58,355 American people succumbing to the deadly virus as of Apr. 29. The information is based on Johns Hopkins University data and an illustration showing Statista infographic.

The editorial accused America of not only failing its people but also failing the entire world. On the same day, Global Times editor Hu Xijin fired upon U.S. President Donald Trump on Twitter, citing his claims that the U.S. number is relatively higher than the rest of the world simply because its testing is much better. According to Hu, the POTUS is indifferent to the suffering of the people of America.

Global Times attributes the bad situation in the United States to their dashed hopes of winning against the virus. China, along with its state media outlets continues to criticize America's response to the pandemic, touting President Trump's administration as incompetent.

Predicting that the number of infections, as well as deaths, will continue to rise, the newspaper pointed out that Americans living on a tight budget are most vulnerable at the moment. The editorial criticizes the Trump administration, saying that a superpower should not lead a virus fight in this way. It also advised America to wake up.

Chinese officials, as well as media, have repeatedly resorted to indulging in coronavirus conspiracy theories and deception such as accusing the American Army of causing the initial coronavirus outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan. Earlier this week, the foreign ministry said the White House was not openly sharing details about its coronavirus response, giving no evidence to support the allegation.

President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and the rest of the key allies blame China for the pandemic. They and a slew of other Western officials cast doubt upon China's reported statistics that show a considerable drop in infection and death rate. Aside from that, they accuse Beijing of hiding the initial outbreak and failing to warn the international community at the right time.
