Zeng Yixin, Vice Minister of China's National Health Commission, speaks at a press conference at the State Council Information Office in Beijing, Thursday, July 22, 2021. Zeng said Thursday he was taken aback by the World Health Organization's plan for the second phase of a COVID-19 origins study.
The search for the origins of the virus has become a diplomatic issue that has worsened China’s relations with the U.S. and many of its allies. The U.S. and others say that China has not been transparent about what happened in the early days of the pandemic. China accuses critics of politicizing an issue that should be left to scientists.
He also says there had been a “premature push” to rule out the theory that the coronavirus might have escaped from a Chinese government lab in Wuhan. The team stated the virus most likely jumped from animals to humans, with speculation focusing on it originating in bats, which may have transmitted it to pangolins that were traditionally sold in Chinese wet markets as a delicacy.
He said China has “always supported scientific virus tracing,” and wants to see that extended to multiple countries and regions worldwide.The second phase of virus tracing should be based on the conclusions of the first phase after “full discussion and consultation by member states,” Zeng said.
Hey China, if you're checking this tweet, it's because your government is guilty of creating and leaking the virus and covering it up and you owe the world a trillion dollars for the death and damage it's done. Hit me back here for my check.
Right.
We already know that shit came from over there, they may as well come clean.
present day - 220 + countries and territories affected
US and allies are clearly seeking to pin this on China. The request is delivered with the purpose of bringing China down. The study would never disprove the accusations, only seek to substantiate them. Why would a country agree to it? It can only lose, as seen from round one.
Why are they hiding! Why are american corps that sponsored that study not being clear!
think how trump feels
It is really sad. WHO is being used as a political football by the US.
And the dog ate my homework... SMH
Once it went global, the Chinese lost all their right. They can't do as they wish once you step out of China. People died from the virus. We are not in China, they can't do as they wish.
They have lost the right to rebuff the request. The international community is ENTITLED (has the right) to disclose everything. It went global, death. Obviously, the Chinese government is hiding very serious information from the international community.
China starts a pandemic that kills millions, then acts surprised when WHO wants to investigate it. I'm not surprised.
Those that are guilty and have something to hide are usually reluctant to any investigations, it us a sign, no dont push we already knows what happened and those culprit must pay up for the worldwide damage they made
Japan Olympics should be canceled. Athletes have the right to be safe
Now there’s a surprise
WHO: Proposed a 2nd phase origin study China: Spokesman replied that 'relevant experts on the Chinese side are studying it (the proposal) carefully'. Western Media: BREAKING NEWS!!! China cannot accept it! 😳
They’re going to whitewash everything.
China manufactured the virus and is guilty as f**k!
“Rather taken aback “ is an odd phrase for the Chinese govt to use.
This line tickles me: 'China accuses critics of politicizing an issue that should be left to scientists.' The WHO *are* scientists!
'a WHO-coordinated team of international experts who visited the lab earlier this year concluded that a lab leak was highly unlikely.' the end.
Of course China has the knowledge of where is came from... China must reveal its origins to the world in a open forum so all can understand... It's that simple... There are many questions unanswered... Why would they not want it to come out
Why not check Fort Detrick? The big secrets box.
How would they allow to investigate It's obvious. It's not surprised china would reject. Even if they allow and cooperate with WHO, they will destroy every single evidences including the human. That's how the communist would do the politics.
I suspect it’s millennia - it has been around we are yet to develop the ability to map all life (and vitriolic forms aren’t life)
I hope the Chiang's government be clear with WHO about away the virus spread from wahan's lab
Was it nowwwww!!!! 👀
Of course not, because they're covering it up!!!
You can bribe the WHO boss, but not WHO Boss's Boss. LOL 😂
What China is afraid of?we need transparency,accountability and the truth.
