TAIPEI—China rejects the World Health Organization’s proposal for a second phase of, including a potential laboratory leak, and has put forward its own proposal to seek evidence in other countries, a top Chinese official said.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus presented member states last week with a plan for further study that would include audits of laboratories and markets in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the first cases were identified. He also“We cannot accept this kind of plan for origin-tracing,” Zeng Yixin, vice minister of China’s National Health Commission, told a news conference Thursday.
Mr. Zeng said he was shocked by the proposal, adding that aspects of it “did not respect common sense and violated science.” Instead, he said Beijing had on July 4 submitted to the WHO its own proposal for a second phase, which he said should be based on the first phase that was conducted by a WHO-led team and their Chinese counterparts early this year.
China’s rejection of the WHO’s proposal presents a stumbling block in a painstaking global effort to find the origin of Covid-19, which has caused more than four million deaths around the world. Beijing is sensitive to other countries blaming it for the pandemic, and
Inquiry, probe, investigation, all sound guilty before trial. That's biased, China can use this as excuse to reject. Unless it's a WHO study on China's response during early days of pandemic.
Outlander202164 ChinaLiedPeopleDied . CCP must held accountable for the virus pandemic
Second phase? That would mean there was a first, and there wasn’t.
Wuhan flu is named after them
Americans complain about China all day long.. Instead how about not letting children be mediocre in education, force kids to chose STEM, stop being compulsive consumers, save more money, be healthier (to lessen the burden on our healthcare system), etc..
What else do you expect from a country that lies and tried to cover up the pandemic when it first started.
China should not let WHO did first phase investigation like US did. Never ever let anyone come to US to investigate for anything.
Yo, no WHO bro means no mo WTO dough!
Virus come for China ！COVID-19 made in China Wuhan 2018 Year ！！！China CCTV 201804 Message！
Sounds like yet another poorly disguised admission of guilt.
Lol
Want to do it again? C'mom, China is not Iraq.
How come an investigation again and again after there is official report issued by WHO itself？Even there are some clues stated that Covid19 was found in somewhere else before Wuhan outbreak？
Is this a joke?
👊🏼😡👊🏼what the hell is this looking for evidence elsewhere, don't provoke a commotion China is clear that the first information comes from your country and then spreads to other countries. 👎🏼🇨🇳👎🏼
Fake news its must stop !!!! The world knows the true !!! Was in America !!! And this plan will Not go forward GOD WILL NOT PERMIT AND WILL CALL IS BEST WARRIORS TO FIGHT THIS CORRUPTION !!!
It is too strange to ask if the culprit of WuhanVirus can be investigated. How can the culprit be willing to be investigated? The disaster this time is really too tragic and huge, and all countries should directly pursue all the loss of life from the CCP. CCPLiedPeopleDied
investigate USA now, the virus was found in USA first
The WHO investigation must proceed and penalize China if it continues being uncooperative and suspuciously guilty of manufacturing this covid virus.
I don’t see what’s there to investigate. The lab that studies the virus is in Wuhan. The outbreak started in Wuhan. Where else could this possibly come from? No! The pangolin did not kiss the turtle.
Obviously China is hiding something from the world.
Fort Detrick
GETTR, the new world is cool.
You want to do it right? Do it with everybody following every piece of evidence. Don’t redo it just because the outcome doesn’t serve your purpose.
China just looking for a war..
US labs reported 450+ accidents spanning 2015-2019 involving some of the world’s most dangerous pathogens subject to federal regulation because they “pose a severe threat”. That’s ~2 dangerous pathogen accidents per week. WHO should investigate Fort Detrick.
Just be ready for the next virus coming out from there!
🤡
Is anyone shocked at all? I’m not.
Hiding something.....?
WHO else thinks China is hiding something
Ccp is an existential threat
let’s investigate into fort Detrick first

The strangely high rate of spread at the beginning of the pandemic at the largest airports in Spain and Italy needs to be investigated. This rate of spread is more related to a forced inoculum than to a free spread.
Maybe someone is afraid that the corpses will be found in the basement?
China will get away with it. I don’t believe the virus is as deadly as what news says it is but if I’m wrong and it is how are they getting away with this.
China has decided it is not guilty and everyone should just move on
Democrats love China and will agree too this.
