"What is driving our action right now is our understanding that we're all part of the community," he said. "China cannot be safe from the virus if all the other countries are still struggling ... in a sense, we are also helping ourselves by helping others."

Cui also refuted the accusations by some U.S. politicians and media outlets that China concealed the extent of the COVID-19 outbreak.

"For the accusations that China is hiding the numbers, just think about it, we have such a huge population, such a big country, you cannot hide the cases of a very vicious virus, because if you have patients, they are just patients. If people are infected, they're just infected. How can you hide them?" Cui said.

The fact is that China started daily briefing to the press "in the very early stage of this crisis," he said, adding that China even publicized all the possible treatments.

"We keep updating it, from time to time, including how to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat the patients. We made it public, all this information, all our experience," he noted.
