'The US government has failed its people and the world': Chinese state media attacks Washington after more than one million Americans contracted Corona virus

Beijing's state media has declared today that 'the US government has failed its people and the world' as America now accounts for a third of the global infection tally.

Global Times, a state-run newspaper, claimed in an article Wednesday that 'Chinese people won't allow their country to suffer vast infections like the US'.

The column came after infections across the US increased by more than 27,000 on Monday, bringing the total number of cases to just over one million.

The Chinese media blamed the US government for failing American people by placing 'their political interests above the life-threatening epidemic'.
