(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump used the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday to attack China's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it must be held accountable for having "unleashed this plague onto the world."

By contrast, China's President Xi Jinping struck a conciliatory tone in his pre-recorded virtual address to the General Assembly, calling for enhanced cooperation over the pandemic and stressing that China had no intention of fighting "either a Cold War or a hot war with any country."

The leaders of the world's two largest economies laid out their competing visions as relations have plunged to their worst level in decades against the backdrop of the pandemic, with coronavirus tensions aggravating trade and technology disputes.

Trump, facing a November re-election battle with the United States dealing with the world's highest official number of deaths and infections from the coronavirus, focused his speech on attacking China.

Gina's to blame for the pandemic - Donald Trump

[Roc2020]

1. China better watch it. Trump is doing all

sorts of trickery in the S.China sea to provoke the Chinese to shoot a U.S military plane sub or ship to go all out War. Trump is desperate and dangerous.

[SergeStorms]

2. Now other countries will be suing the U.S.

for unleashing the plague of Donald Trump on the world. You watch, they will!

[GeorgeGist]

10. My very thought.

At least China is fighting the virus.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. with much better results. Cult 45 has failed miserably. Simply don't care about life. At all.

[LiberalFighter]

3. Countries exploiting China for cheap labor and products should be blamed.

[Ahpook]

4. He's such an asshole

Sometimes covid is fake news, other days it's not that big of a deal now he wants heads to roll for the plague. What's it going to be tomorrow?

Why do people still listen to this dickhead?

5. China hasn't joined the COVAX effort (neither has Trump), so Xi can go screw himself

until he does:

More than 150 nations join global vaccine plan but U.S., China absent

Some 156 nations have joined a global scheme for fair distribution of future vaccines against COVID-19, an alliance led by the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday, but superpowers China and the United States did not sign up.

U.S. President Donald Trump's government has already secured future supplies through bilateral deals, prompting accusations of selfish behaviour to the detriment of poor countries.

China, where the coronavirus began, was also missing on the list of 64 rich nations who joined the so-called COVAX plan to deliver 2 billion vaccine doses round the world by the end of 2021, prioritising healthcare workers and the vulnerable.

But alliance officials said dialogue continued with Beijing.

Russia hasn't joined either. Fucking nationalists.

6. Broken clock, blind squirrel....

China has been at trade war with us since the 1970's.

They regard us the way White Supremacists of the 1800's regarded Blacks and Natives, as savages on rare occasion cabable of something more than manual labor but sitting on resources to be exploited.

Some people talk about 'American Exceptionalism, but the Chinese have mastered Exceptionalism for over 2000 years.

Fuck 'em.

[shrike3]

8. That's too bad. Guess I shouldn't have been surprised.

China was making noises for a while about providing free vaccines to the third world, but I guess that fizzled.

[ffr]

7. He didn't start of with "It's a hoax?" That's turned out so well for him in the past.

Why stop now?

9. Trump has killed more Americans with the Trump virus than the Chinese have.

Trump has killed more Americans with the Trump virus than the Chinese have.

Even if it could be considered the China virus when it left China, it became the Trump virus when he let it spread uninhibited.

[GeorgeGist]

11. From what I've witnessed, Trump has done far more ...

to promote the Covid-19 virus than any other head of state.
