WASHINGTON, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Accusations on China's supposed early COVID-19 related failings are mostly misplaced, said a recent think tank report.
"There were no major shortcomings on China's part in alerting the U.S. and the international public health community," said a report by Sourabh Gupta, a senior fellow at Washington-based Institute for China-America Studies .
"To those who argue that the country sat on its hands during the early days of the outbreak, the frenetic pace of China's early response utterly belies their claim," said the report. The report said that Taiwan did not alert the World Health Organization to evidence of human-to-human transmission of COVID-19 on Dec. 31, 2019.
