Top China official concedes challenge but slams 'overreaction'
State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi acknowledged that the coronavirus posed a big challenge to the country, but defended Beijing's management of the epidemic while lashing out at the "overreaction" of other countries.
In a wide-ranging interview with Reuters news agency, the senior leader said any country in the world would find it hard to control the virus's spread, but China has done it.
He also urged the United States not to take unnecessary virus-response measures that could hamper trade, travel and tourism.
