Beijing considers absurd and politically motivated charges that China could withhold information about the dissemination of coronavirus COVID-19 in the beginning of the epidemic, said the permanent representative of China to the UN, Chen Xu.
“We drew attention to a particular sensation, on some absurd and funny statements. Some channels have accused China in the so-called coverup. Some even advocate the recognition of the responsibility of China by the beginning of legal prosecution. All of this is politically motivated behavior. I don’t think it will contribute to international efforts to fight the pandemic,” said a diplomat at the press-conference Geneva, (quoted by TASS).
the US President Donald trump said earlier that in a situation with coronavirus China made a “terrible mistake” and then didn’t want to admit having misled the world community.
on 3 may, the Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph, citing a report of the reconnaissance of the Union of the “Five eyes” (USA, Australia, Canada, UK and New Zealand) reported that the Chinese authorities deliberately concealed and destroyed information about the outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19 in the country.
the publication said that the Chinese government hid the news about the virus, causing the silent doctors, destroying evidence of its existence in the laboratory and refusing to provide live samples of the scientists who worked on a vaccine.
the following day The Guardian wrote that the intelligence of the Union of the “Five eyes” actually no proof of the theory that the coronavirus was established in research laboratory of the Chinese Wuhan. The world health organization also stated that the US government still has not provided any proof of this theory.
