China has admitted that the coronavirus pandemic has exposed 'shortcomings' in its healthcare system.
The admission comes as the country continues to grapple with the spread of the virus, which has infected millions of people worldwide.
According to reports, China's healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases, leading to shortages of medical supplies and staff.
The country's government has promised to improve its healthcare infrastructure and increase funding for the sector.
However, critics have questioned the government's ability to deliver on these promises, given the scale of the crisis.
China has been at the center of the global pandemic, with the virus first emerging in the city of Wuhan in December 2019.
Since then, the virus has spread to every corner of the globe, infecting millions of people and causing widespread disruption to economies and societies.
