The UK’s Mail on Sunday has discovered that a large amount of important information involving the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research published by China’s National Natural Science Foundation in the past has been removed. This has reignited the debate about Beijing authorities’ concealment of the CCP virus (New Coronavirus) outbreak.
The newspaper reported that hundreds of pages of information were deleted, covering more than 300 studies, including research conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research and important research data by Shi Zhengli, director of the institute’s Research Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The data on the risk of human transmission of the coronavirus from bats and the investigation of bats carrying human pathogens were seen as important clues to the source of the outbreak.
Just last week, the Chinese Communist Party denied visas to members of a World health Organization team of experts who planned to travel to China to investigate the origin of the virus. The Associated Press also obtained internal CCP documents showing that Xi Jinping ordered strict control of all research into the origin of the CCP virus, while vigorously promoting the idea that the virus came from outside China.
Now, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a supposedly state-run institution in the hands of the CCP, has removed all the above-mentioned relevant data and reports, which this report by the British media argues is yet another proof that the CCP authorities are trying to hinder the investigation of the origin of the virus.
Iain Duncan Smith, former leader of the British Conservative Party and a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, said the Chinese side is clearly trying to hide evidence and that the source of the outbreak should be thoroughly investigated, but the Chinese Communist Party is obstructing it.
Matthew Pottinger, then deputy national security adviser at the White House, said earlier that “evidence is mounting” that the virus was leaked from an official Chinese laboratory.
