'Willing To Talk About What India Needs': Chinese Foreign Ministry Extends Support To Fight Covid-19

China on Friday said it was willing to talk to India about what it needs to fight the massive surge in coronavirus cases, a day after offering to help New Delhi with necessary support and help.

The spike in Covid-19 cases has put medical infrastructure under severe strain with hospitals in parts of India running out of essential medical supplies including oxygen.

Responding to what kind of assistance Beijing was ready to offer to New Delhi, the Chinese foreign ministry said it was ready to talk to India about what it needs.
“China is willing to communicate (on) specific matters with India according to its needs,” the ministry said.

On Thursday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin had said that Beijing was aware that the epidemic in India had become severe, and that there was a temporary shortage of necessary materials for epidemic prevention.

Wang was responding to a question from Chinese official media at the regular ministry briefing about what action China was taking in view of the spreading epidemic in India.

“China is willing to provide the necessary support and help,” Wang had said, without giving details of what such assistance might consist of.

Last year, India was among the countries to help Beijing with medical supplies during the time the Covid-19 outbreak was at its most severe in China.

I am Chinese living overseas. Neighbours can have arguments over fence boundaries, but when the house is on fire, the other must offer help! Well done to China to offer India help and hope a speedy recovery of Doctors and Patients in India!

[ooxx]

People of China hope the people of India can overcome the disease soon. Blessing from China!

We chinese has one old saying: help others is help yourself. if india is not our neighbour we may not care. but god put us so close. so be friendly and peaceful, unit to overcome crisis

I'm a Chinese living in Australia. I met a lot of lovely Indians in this country. Regardless of our culture, skin colour, and nationality, we get along well because of our individual personality and kindness to each other.
When I saw those sad news about Indian people struggling to survive it made me in tears. I feel for them. I sincerely hope they can overcome this shocking difficult time.
The boarder crisis made people in both sides hate each other. But when it comes to disaster like this, I think we should work as a good team to help each other as this is the enemy for all mankind.
PS: despite the relationship between China and India is quite intense. It does not affect my attitude toward my Indian workmates and vice versa. We are just ordinary people who love harmony and peace and enjoy the multicultural living environment in Australia.
May God bless Indian people.

I am Chinese living in mainland China. Recall my first day as a student in Auckland, New Zealand. When I was all at sea, an Indian taxi driver took me to the bus station for free. I will always remember the goodness of others.

[venom-kcri]

You call them evil stealer etc
You call them beggar
But when time comes they are ready to help you
You call them most trusted allies friends
But when times come they betrayed

THIS IS IT

[GOGO-lpjr]

Indian medical student here.

I've seen my seniors, teachers and batchmates get the virus, heard death news and I know the ground reality.

Y'all care for politics when your own countrymen are dying. China has offered help.

Did your beloved Trump do? Nope. He threatened us. Did Biden help? Nope. He's ignoring SII's requests.

So glad to see the heartwarming messages from the Chinese. Thank you. ❤️

Abey chutiyon samjh jao. Oxygen nai bed nai medicines nai. Pta h next kiski shortage hogi? Doctors and staff ki.

India has already lost more than 800 doctors. Sala have some shame.

Just listen to AIIMS head Dr. Guleria or go to Quint and see the doctor crying, India needs help and no amount of delusion is gonna help.

Taking help from anyone is what we need right now. US, UK, EU, QUAD nobody is helping us.

*STOP THE BULLSHIT AND ASK FOR HELP ALREADY GOD DAMN IT.*

[LHK]

At least China has offered to help. But India where are good friend from America, Europe & Australia? They are very quiet when help is needed. But they were noisily egging you to fight China at the border. You will know who your friends are only in a crisis.

[chinahamyku]

Dear Indian friends, we don't talk politics about the epidemic. Only talk about friendship and human nature. We will stand firmly behind you for support and help.

The original words of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
The Chinese government and the Chinese people firmly support the Indian government and people in fighting the epidemic, express condolences to the Indian government and people. And we are willing to provide support and assistance according to the needs of the Indian side. We are maintaining communication with the Indian side on this. China believes that the Indian people will be able to overcome the epidemic at an early date...(over)

Viruses are the common enemy of mankind. China has taken the initiative to maintain communication with India, hope you send the list to the Chinese government and people as soon as possible. Tell us what you need most urgent, China is ready.

About the epidemic. China Stand firmly with India. ❤️❤️❤️

Hope that the Indian media can also report on China's attitude.

The saddest thing in life is that when you die, you don't know who hurt you, and you regard the person who hurt you as your friend

[bendinobendino]

To all China haters, open your eyes and see who the real friends are. Get well soon India

[mmwastronaut]

Sad to see, india not willing to receive support from china, life is crucial everyone can live only once. Some of the indians who still ego and split out the words ' I dont need china help' either you yourself havent arrived in the hospital or your love one havent struggle or die bcz of covid. Anyway, god bless india, hope they can recover asap.

[WWLooi-jsrl]

Hope for speed recovery! Glad to see Chinese is extending help...that is way it should be as neighbor for thousands of years. Both countries have been in peace for so long until western powers started to divide and rule.

[naveenseerapu]

Time for Asian Union (Russia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, Pakistan and Malaysia to start with) that can beat these EU and Western propaganda. Great workforce. Great minds. Immense hardworkers. Great Tourism. We can do wonders and surprise those looters!

[irritatedanglosaxon]

Neighbour is the one who can save u and extinguish the flaming fire instead distant folks!! Neighbours occasionally hv different views, quarrels but in the end we are all human. Really, really touching to see no matter how hard it is, Chinese lean a helping hand and shoulder to their India brothers
