Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Re-Evaluates Source Of Covid-19 Virus: Scientific Professional Opinion Needs Hearing

On March 23, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang held a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question. Cui Tiankai, Chinese ambassador to the United States, said in an interview recently that the cause of the COVID-19 virus is “harmful and crazy” without any reason. What is China’s position on this?
Geng Shuang said that in the past, I have repeatedly stated China’s position on this issue at regular press conferences. The source of the COVID-19 virus is a scientific issue, and scientific and professional opinions need to be heard. The WHO and the international community have a clear consensus that the virus cannot be linked to specific countries, regions, or races, and oppose stigma. We have resolutely opposed the stigmatization of the Chinese government and the Chinese people by the use of the epidemic by individual American politicians and senior officials for some time, and their stigmatization of China by the COVID-19 virus. Epidemic situation At present, countries in the world should work together to overcome difficulties. At this time, trying to divert attention and shirk responsibility will not only help the national epidemic prevention work in the least, nor will it help the international community to prevent epidemics.
