China tells European Union to 'objectively and fairly' view its COVID situation


- The European Union should "objectively and fairly" take stock of China's epidemic situation, the foreign ministry said on Friday.

Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning was responding at a regular media briefing to a question on the grouping's recommendation of pre-departure COVID-19 testing for passengers from China.

EU government officials have suggested that such passengers should furnish a COVID-19 test result before departure.
