Infected with Covid-19, will President Trump escalate his attacks on China?
Some Chinese experts believe that the status of US President Donald Trump's Covid-19 infection is bad news for China, after Trump repeatedly condemned Beijing on how to deal with the pandemic.

On October 2, President Trump confirmed on Twitter that he and First Lady Melania Trump were positive for Covid-19, amid a pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 1 million people globally, including over 200,000. people in America. Currently, the United States is the country with the top number of Covid-19 deaths and infections in the world, after the pandemic first started in Wuhan city (China) in late December 2019.

Aired at the United Nations General Assembly online session on September 22, President Trump asked the United Nations to hold "China accountable for actions" related to the Covid-19 pandemic. In July, President Trump condemned China's response to Covid-19 and accused Beijing of deliberately spreading the virus around the world.

American expert Liu Wei Dong of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences thinks that Covid-19 infection can have both good and bad sides for President Trump. The “good side” is that he can use this situation as proof that he works hard to serve the country even if he has a virus and voters will support him.
