THE China today criticized Washington’s “politicization” of efforts to trace its origins coronavirus and demanded that a U.S. military laboratory be investigated shortly before the release of a U.S. intelligence report on the virus.
According to the APE EIA, the US report aims to resolve disputes between intelligence services that are considering different theories about how the coronavirus appeared, including that of an accident in a Chinese laboratory, which has once been rejected.
“Bringing responsibilities to China cannot purge the United States,” he said Phu Kong, Director General of the Armaments Control Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a press conference.
The US report was expected to be completed by yesterday, Tuesday, but will be needed some days yet in order to prepare a non-confidential version for publicity, a White House spokesman said this week.
China has said that the leak from a laboratory is extremely unlikely and has ridiculed a theory that the coronavirus escaped from a laboratory in the city of Wuhan, where the first COVID-19 infections appeared in late 2019, causing the pandemic to break out.
China has claimed that the virus leaked from a laboratory in Fort Detrick, in Maryland, in 2019.
“It is fair, if the United States insists that this is a valid case, to call for a research in their workshops, “said Fu.
Yesterday, Tuesday, China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations summoned his head World Health Organization (WHO) conduct research in US laboratories.
It is reminded that a joint team of the WHO and China visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but the US expressed concern that the group not had adequate access to the Institute.
Asked if China would stop talking about the Fort Detrick lab if the US report concluded that the virus had not leaked from a Chinese lab, Fu said: “It is a hypothetical question, you should ask the US.” . Fu said, finally, that China has not been involved in a misinformation campaign.
