Cui Tiankai, Chinese Communist Party Ambassador to the United States.
Where did the Chinese Communist Party virus (COVID-19, a new coronavirus) originate? After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had pointed out that it originated from the United States last year, it was severely refuted by the U.S. from the president, legislators to academics. After the change of the U.S. government, CCP Ambassador Cui Tiankai again hinted that the virus might have originated from the United States, a claim that was immediately slapped in the face by U.S. lawmakers.
In a CNN television interview broadcast on Feb. 7, Cui Tiankai suggested that the World health Organization should investigate whether the virus began in the United States, rather than Wuhan, where it should be investigated.
The CNN reporter at the Time asked Cui if the virus had leaked out of the Wuhan lab before the global pandemic. Cui said WHO experts were working in Wuhan to “investigate all the facts,” and Cui dismissed the notion that the virus could have originated in a wild market or a Wuhan lab, saying, “I think when people make allegations, they have to prove those allegations.”
The reporter also asked if the WHO experts could conduct a “full” free investigation in Wuhan. Cui did not answer directly, but said, “They have been in Wuhan for several days. My question is, can they come here (in the U.S.) and do the same thing (investigate)?”
U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Texas) retweeted this article reporting on Cui Tiankai on Monday (8) and commented, “Stop spreading lies and (false) propaganda, the world knows COVID-19 originated in China.”
This is not the first time the Chinese Communist Party has shrugged off the source of the virus; last March, Communist Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian accused the U.S. military of bringing the virus to Wuhan. Foreign Ministry spokespersons Hua Chunying and Wang Wenbin have also repeatedly said that the virus originated elsewhere, attempting to blame countries such as Italy and India as the source of the virus.
China’s claims have been refuted by former U.S. President Donald Trump, lawmakers and academics, with Trump repeatedly referring to the Communist Party’s cover-up of the outbreak and Senator Hawley calling Zhao Lijian a “clown.
On January 15, the U.S. State Department released a briefing on the activities of the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research, noting that in 2019, the institute had staff members with similar symptoms of infection. Previously, Shi Zhengli, a senior researcher at the institute, said there had been “zero infections” among the institute’s staff and students.
“The Chinese Communist Party’s obsession with secrecy and control over information comes at the expense of public health in China and around the world,” the State Council said. The State Department said.
In a Jan. 12 interview with a radio station, former U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said all the evidence so far suggests that the CCP virus outbreak originated in China, probably from a laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Former U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Michael Bomen also said there is growing evidence that the virus was leaked out of the Wuhan Virus Laboratory.
