On 28 April 2020, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng spoke with Janis Mackey Frayer of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) at an exclusive interview. Le noted, now at this critical and trying moment, China and the US must put aside all the differences, all the disagreements, and join hands to confront our common enemy, the coronavirus.

Le said, unfortunately, some politicians have gravely politicized the COVID-19 issue. This is not something we want to see. What has turned out to be now is that the true enemy of the US is COVID-19, not China. China is a partner fighting the virus alongside the US, the US should not mistake partners as opponents. Under the current circumstances, it is the time for solidarity, for working together to combat the virus and tide over the difficulties. It is not a time for accusation and political manipulation. Together we will win, together we will make a big difference for the world.
