The United States called on China on Monday to allow an expert team from the World Health Organization (WHO) to interview 'care givers, former patients and lab workers' in the central city of Wuhan, drawing a rebuke from Beijing.

The team of WHO-led independent experts trying to determine the origins of the new coronavirus arrived on Jan. 14 in Wuhan where they are holding teleconferences with Chinese counterparts during a two-week quarantine before starting work on the ground. Garrett Grigsby of the Department of Health and Human Services, who heads the U.S. delegation, said China should share all scientific studies into animal, human and environmental samples taken from a market in Wuhan, where the SARS-CoV-2 virus is believed to have emerged in late 2019.

“We have a solemn duty to ensure that this critical investigation is credible and is conducted objectively and transparently,” said Grigsby, who also referred to virus variants found in Britain, South Africa and Brazil.

I thought US had withdrawn from WHO, so why is the pompeo anti-china politics going on here?

Why are people still buy Chinese made shit. Why do people still travel there? Those multinational Coros who deal with China shine boycotted.

US is not even a member of WHO anymore, and they still think they can tell WHO what to do

That damn Trump is at it again, upsetting the Chinese. Can’t wait to have Biden/Harris running the show so things can get back to how they were in Obama’s era, when China could anything it wanted unhindered. President Biden, Make China great again....

At this point, only China trust what the Wuhan health organization says!

If the goal of that team is to find the origin of Covid19, then they would go to Spain. The only reason they went to Wuhan was because only in Wuhan, the hospital and the government were not indifferent to the Virus, they actually fought back not just ignored.

When are the US, & CANADA.... going to put Sanctions, & control their Own Created MONSTER called PAKISTAN & it's 50,000 TERRORISTS in MUZAFFARABAD from Al Qaeda (BIN LADEN), Lashkar, JEM (HAFIZ SAEED), to TALIBAN WE INDIANS WANT TO KNOW !!

An eye on it

Must be time for China to release another Covid variant.

Wow! Scientists have missions now.

Why not at Fort Detrick ?
