Bad to worse: A tit-for-tat timeline of deteriorating U.S.-China relations

Even before a global pandemic that's infected over 1M in the U.S. alone and killed over 250,000 worldwide, U.S. relations with China haven't been great. But it's been going down hill after COVID-19 was first reported by Chinese authorities to the World Health Organization.
President Donald Trump has blamed Beijing for a lack of transparency over the true extent of the outbreak in China — where cases were first reported. In response, Beijing has suggested that Washington might be the real source of the global pandemic.
That kindled a ever-increasing aggressive rhetoric between Trump administration and the Beijing government that's expected to have far reaching implications.
Here's a time of of some of the back and and forth and finger pointing that's gone on over the months.
