China has been sharing information on COVID-19 in an open, transparent and responsible manner with the World Health Organization and countries including the United States since the onset of the epidemic, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Friday.

Talking over phone with his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump, Xi stressed that China wasted no time in releasing such information as the genetic sequence of the virus.
China, he added, has also been sharing experience on COVID-19 prevention, containment and treatment without reservation, and providing as much support and assistance as it can for countries in need.

China will continue to do so, and work with the international community to prevail over the pandemic, Xi said.
