Chinese cities are witnessing a wave of Covid-19 cases, with concerns growing that the government may be hiding the true toll of the virus after years of insisting that the Communist Party had handled the virus more skillfully than the West. On Monday, police and security guards pushed journalists back from a Beijing crematorium.
A spokesperson at the Chinese Embassy in Washington didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about Price's remarks.
Covid-19 U-Turn
The outbreak has grown following the government's decision to lift a raft of strict restrictions, including quarantine and isolation protocols, that had largely insulated China's 1.4 billion people from the worst impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
China's U-turn on Covid-19 followed protests in late November in numerous Chinese cities after the containment measures were blamed for deaths after a fire in the country's western Xinjiang region.
Health agencies, including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have been on the lookout for new variants such as delta or omicron as Covid-19 waves hit different countries around the world. New variations "allow the virus to spread more easily or make it resistant to treatments or vaccines," according to the CDC.
The US - which is sending a delegation led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Beijing early in the new year - hopes China can get its current Covid-19 outbreak under control in part because any further blow to the Asian nation could further harm the global economy, Price said.
"The toll of the virus is of concern to the rest of the world, given the size of China's GDP," he said. "It's not only good for China to be in a stronger position vis-a-vis Covid, but it's good for the rest of the world as well."

As the plant is named after the warrior prince “Arjuna”, the formulation is also known as Parthadyarishta, where the term ‘Partha’ is another name of ‘Arjuna’.
