China trade

Trump has said he is cancelling a round of trade talks with China scheduled for next week. He said that this was because of China’s behavior with the coronavirus, which he called “not even thinkable.” He said “China could have stopped the coronavirus from coming into their country” but didn’t. I have zero idea of what he is even talking about. Hello, the coronavirus did not “come into” China, but started there. To the extent his statement is even slightly coherent (it is not), would China want the coronavirus to spread inside China, where it killed thousands of people, so that it could spread further to the US??? He is unhinged.
