BEIJING (AFP): China and the United States should 'unite to fight' the deadly coronavirus pandemic that has ravaged the globe, said President Xi Jinping in a call with his US counterpart on Friday (March 27), according to state media.

The two countries have clashed in recent weeks over the virus, but Xi told President Donald Trump that China"wishes to continue sharing all information and experience with the US," said state broadcaster CCTV. Earlier this month a foreign ministry spokesman in Beijing also suggested in a tweet that the US military brought the virus to Wuhan.
Xi said Sino-US relations were at a"critical juncture", CCTV said, adding that cooperation was mutually beneficial and"the only right choice."
