Germany has joined the race of rattling China alongside the US, UK and France after the nation sent a £130bn bill to Beijing as calling the “responsible for the pandemic”. Outrage has sparked in Germany against China after a major newspaper put together a £130bn invoice that Beijing “owes” Berlin following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, reports Express UK. A bombshell op-ed this week in Germany’s largest tabloid newspaper, Bild, joined this outrage by drawing up an itemised invoice for €149bn (£130b).
The list includes a €27 billion charge for lost tourism revenue, up to €7.2 billion for the German film industry, a million euros an hour for German airline Lufthansa and €50 billion for German small businesses. Bild calculated that this amounts to €1,784 (£1,550) per person if Germany’s GDP falls by 4.2 percent, under the title “What China owes us.
China responded by claiming the invoice “stirs up xenophobia and nationalism”. Germany has followed France, the UK and the US in directing its coronavirus anger at China, where the virus originated. Recent attacks come amid findings that Beijing appeared to cover up the true scale of the crisis, as the source of the outbreak remains a mystery.
On Saturday, Donald Trump warned that China should face consequences if it was “knowingly responsible” for unleashing the coronavirus pandemic. President Trump told reporters, “If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible, then there should be consequences. He said the Chinese were “embarrassed” and the question was whether what happened with the coronavirus was “a mistake that got out of control, or was it done deliberately?”
President Trump and his senior aides have repeatedly accused China of lacking transparency. The UK has joined US intelligence officials in investigating claims that the virus originated in a Wuhan virus lab and not a wet market.
