Novel Coronavirus epidemic, which originated in Wuhan, Hubei province, ravaged the world for more than a year. Recently, the World health Organization announced that it would send a team of experts to China in mid-January to investigate the source of the virus. According to US media, Xi Jinping has already taken action to strictly control the investigation. Critics say the W.H.O. is just a passing play-by-play with the Communist Party.
The Outbreak, which originated in Wuhan and has infected more than 85 million people worldwide and killed more than 1.8 million, continues to spread. A team of international experts from the World Health Organization will travel to China in the middle of this month to investigate the source of the virus. Tracing the source of the virus is extremely important, and finding the source is very important for preventing future pandemics.
However, before the experts’ visit, Wang Yi, the Foreign minister of the Communist Party of China (CPC), made the comment in an interview with xinhua and China National Radio on January 2. “More and more studies show that the outbreak is likely to occur in many parts of the world,” Wang said.
Wang’s comments are seen as setting the tone for the WHO’s upcoming international investigation into the source of the virus. Critics fear that, given the Communist Party’s influence over the WHO, a visit to Wuhan after the seafood market in the southern part of the city, where the outbreak began, was ordered closed, would be whitewash.
Yokogawa, a political commentator who used to work in the field of medical research, criticized the visit as a “cursory-looking” one year after the outbreak, the possible destruction of laboratory records and research data, and the fact that the trip had to be arranged by China.
Yokogawa argues that the WHO panel cannot give you access to the real insider, which is an actor. The Chinese Communist Party is best at this kind of thing, which is to go through the motions and play a play with the Chinese Communist Party. The WHO panel, he said, is limited by the communist government’s control, making it difficult to find more whistleblowers in a society where speech is restricted.
Yokogawa pointed directly, this wuhan investigation trip to the WORLD Health experts may be powerless.
“There is no doubt that the best opportunity to investigate the origin of the virus has been missed,” Ren Ruihong, a former executive of the Critical disease relief program at the Red Cross Foundation of China, also told RADIO Free Asia. “It’s hard to find patient Zero now, and the South China market in Wuhan has been closed.”
Ren said that based on her experience and information, the hospital and related personnel had been informed of the outbreak at the beginning of the outbreak and had certain procedures and documents for reporting the outbreak. However, I am afraid that the authorities have already destroyed the outbreak, and what they can do now is to conduct research through documents and materials that the authorities are willing to release.
“There is no point in setting up an independent inquiry because the best time has been lost for so long.” Ren said.

Xi jinping’s authorities have strictly controlled all research on the origin of the virus, and any data or research related to the outbreak must be approved for publication, according to an investigation report published by the Associated Press. At the same time, Beijing has politicized the origins of the communist virus, delayed warnings about a pandemic, blocked information sharing with the World Health Organization and hindered early testing.
The investigation also said jiang Dafa, a seafood vendor in The Southern China market in Wuhan, began noticing people getting sick in mid-December 2019. The Communist Party’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention immediately went to collect 585 environmental samples and ordered the seafood market closed. By late January 2020, the COMMUNIST Party of China media announced that 33 of the environmental samples tested positive.
Into February, the virus continued to spread rapidly. Then a paper by two Chinese scientists suggested that the virus might have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, near the South China market. The paper was later retracted amid allegations that the Communist Party had controlled the discourse.
February 24 solstice March 2, including the CPC CDC laboratory, and all universities, companies and medical research institutions, continue to receive orders not to share any information related to the virus.
Under Xi’s direction, research exchanges and publication must be planned as carefully as “a game of chess,” and propaganda and opinion teams must “guide publication,” the order said. And warned that unauthorized publishers, causing adverse social impact will be investigated for responsibility.
In the months that followed, Mr. Liu, the C.D.C. researcher, visited the site nearly 20 times and collected about 2,000 samples, but what those samples revealed was not made public.
On May 25, Gao Fu, the CENTER for Disease Control and Prevention of the Communist Party of China, said none of the animal samples from the South China Market had tested positive. The news came as a shock to scientists who did not even know that the Communist Party had ever taken samples from animals.
After nanhua market was ruled out as the source of the virus, experts turned their attention to bats. Some studies suggest that viruses that can infect humans may have been circulating in bat populations for years, but an Associated Press investigation found that scientists’ research and inspections were closely monitored by authorities.
Two people familiar with the matter said that a visiting bat research team recently managed to collect samples but had them confiscated. Communist Party virus experts have been ordered not to speak to the media. When the AP team tried to go in late November, plainclothes police followed in multiple cars and blocked roads and stops.
In December 2020, the BBC team was forced to return to the airport after encountering numerous roadblocks on their way to Yunnan to investigate. Plainclothes police officers and officials followed them in unmarked vehicles.
