British, Other Western Leaders Talk of Coronavirus 'Reckoning' With Beijing

Jamie Dettmer

   The coronavirus pandemic may prompt Britain to abandon an already
   contentious deal with the Chinese telecom giant Huawei -- retaliation,
   officials say, for the spread of disinformation by Beijing about the
   origins of the virus and for its evasiveness about the scale and
   infectiousness of the disease.

   Downing Street officials say Beijing should face a "reckoning" over the
   coronavirus, which first appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan late
   last year.
