MOSCOW, may 5 – RIA Novosti. Information about the concealment data about China coronavirus, which was previously published in the Australian newspaper, most likely, was provided by the United States, presumably to exert pressure on Beijing, the British newspaper the Guardian, citing a source at the Australian intelligence Agency.
Earlier, Australian Daily Telegraph, citing a 15-page report, a reconnaissance of the Union of the “Five eyes” (USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Britain) wrote that China allegedly intentionally concealed or destroyed evidence of an outbreak of the coronavirus. The paper argues that China destroyed evidence of coronavirus in the laboratory and refused to provide biomaterials scientists who develop the vaccine. The Chinese authorities have repeatedly stated that from the beginning followed an open and responsible position on the publication of data about the epidemic.
According to the Guardian, the Australian intelligence believe that the information in the Daily Telegraph “originally came from the United States.”
“My gut tells me it was a way to build a counter-propaganda to put pressure on China,” the newspaper quoted the Australian intelligence service.
the Newspaper also writes that the 15-page report, which was referred to the Daily Telegraph, was not made on the basis of data from “Five eyes”, and evidence that the coronavirus originated in the laboratory in Wuhan, at the moment. The British leaders also felt the report was not based on confidential information provided to the British intelligence service, writes the Guardian, citing sources.
