Chinese official claims US may have brought virus to China

BEIJING: A Chinese official has suggested that the US army may have brought the deadly coronavirus into China, without providing any evidence for his eyebrow-raising claim.

In his tweet, Zhao posted a video of the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention testifying before Congress that some Americans who were believed to have died from the flu were posthumously diagnosed with the COVID-19 illness."CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals?" Zhao tweeted.

US officials have angered China by linking the virus with the country, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling it the"Wuhan virus".Robert O'Brien, the US national security adviser, insisted on Wednesday that the birthplace of the virus was China. He said China had"cost the world community two months to respond" to the epidemic, which has now killed nearly 5,000 people and infected more than 130,000 worldwide.

Please say it completely. It is because Robert Redfield from CDC admitted that some influenza death were actually infected with COVID-19. Then we have the reasons to doubt that the virus originated from US.

When you prosper, did you also blame the US

😳

Democrat brought stupidity to China and they happily accept it

The blame game on both sides doesn't help. We need a solution to save lives now. Rather than bicker, they should work together to find a cure. Hmmm

Objective. no evidence means method to quiet domestic unrest to give path to vent anger and frustration. Evidence through genome testing means d.uck you....

So who's right here and who's wrong? What does the authorities have to say about this..? It's practically now become a finger-pointing game

there might be some truth to that

Taichi.

China blames US instead of accepting and taking responsibility....what else is new!?!
