This year's joint conference was mainly conducted on-line, with heads of State delivering speeches via video recording.
This also means that heads of State and delegations can not communicate face to face. However, even without the debate on the scene, the smell of gunpowder between China and the United States still spread.
China and the United States relationship recently fell to the historical freezing point of more than 40 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, with restrictions on technology, education, trade and so on.

Trump's speech was shortened from 40 minutes in previous years to 6 minutes. He mainly talked about his government achievements and attacks on China.
"We must hold the country responsible for spreading the disease around the world, China ," he said.
"The Chinese banned domestic travel in the early days of the virus's origins, but still allowed flights to leave China and infect the world. China condemned the travel ban I imposed in my country, although they cancelled domestic flights and locked their nationals in the home. "
With the u.s. election looming, Trump government's response to the outbreak has been criticized by the outside world, and he himself has frequently criticized beijing for covering up the epidemic, saying chinese government should have stopped the epidemic from spreading out. China's government said the comments were untrue.
The British Broadcasting Corporation journalist trivirian (Laura Trevelyan) said that Trump was facing an election in 40 days, his speech facing domestic voters, trying to divert attention from its government response to the epidemic, while blaming china, emphasizing u.s. efforts to develop vaccine. According to the president, U.S. vaccine research and development has reached the final stage.
Trump again accused the International Health Organization (WHO) of being controlled by China and disseminated misinformation about virus. American government has earlier announced its withdrawal from the WHO and divestment.
Shortly after Trump statement, Xi Jinping called for "the abandonment of ideological arguments and the crossing of the trap conflict civilization ".
At Monday's meeting on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the common country, he said :" There is no way out of unilateralism ";" No country can take over international affairs, dominate the fate of other countries, monopolize the advantages of development authority, let alone go its own way in the world, engage in hegemony, bullying, domineering. "

The Secretary-General of the common country, Antonio Guterres, did not name specific countries, but warned that "we must do our utmost to avoid a new cold war. "
He said the world was moving in a "very dangerous direction ". "Our world can not have such a future in which two of the largest economic groups divide the world in half, incurring huge faults, each with its own trade, financial rules, the Internet and artificial intelligence. "
