China charges the US of harming its credibility with reports of lab leaks
China says FBI charges about a "lab leak" of coronaviruses damage US credibility
China has stated that FBI Director Christopher Wray's assertions that COVID-19 was created in a "Chinese government-controlled facility" have damaged American trust.
The FBI's confidential conclusion
was publicly confirmed for the first time by Wray in an interview with Fox News
when he stated that the agency thinks the lab leak explanation is "most
likely" the reason for the outbreak. Unfortunately, this notion has been
disproven by numerous scientists due to a lack of data. The lab leak
explanation was likewise rejected as "very implausible" in the joint
inquiry conducted by China and the World Health Organization in 2021.
Yet, the scientific community believes that it is essential
to identify the causes of the epidemic in order to better combat or possibly
avert the next one. As a result of this allegation, tensions between the US and
China have increased. According to the White House, President Joseph Biden is
in favor of a "whole-of-government investigation" to ascertain how
COVID-19 got started.
Mao Ning, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
restated China's unsupported assertion that the virus may have escaped from the
Fort Detrick, Maryland, US military research center. By asking foreign
specialists to perform traceability research in the nation and share study
findings with the global community, Mao asked the US to respect science and
facts and work with the World Health Organization.
Because the cause of COVID-19 is yet unknown, it is
crucial for nations to cooperate in order to identify the cause and stop other
pandemics.
