The Big Picture: US, China at Loggerheads

US officials believe China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak - and how contagious the disease is - to stock up on medical supplies needed to respond to it, intelligence documents show. Chinese leaders "intentionally concealed the severity" of the pandemic from the world in early January, according to a four-page Department of Homeland Security intelligence report dated May 1 and obtained by the media. The revelation comes as the Trump administration has intensified its criticism of China, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying on Sunday that that country was responsible for the spread of disease and must be held accountable. The sharper rhetoric coincides with administration critics saying the government's response to the virus was slow and inadequate. On this edition of the big picture we analyse the tension between the US and China.

Guests:
1- Virendra Gupta, Former Ambassador
2- Maj. Gen. Dhruv C. Katoch (Retd.), Director, India Foundation
3- Patrick Gerard Buchan, Director, Centre for Strategic and International Studies

Anchor: Frank Rausan Pereira
