It has been almost a full year since the outbreak of New Coronavirus began in Wuhan, China. For this outbreak, which has caused great impact and serious damage to human society, there is a widespread desire to know where the responsibility for the initial source and spread lies, which is of great significance in the fight against the new coronavirus and in facing the challenges of similar viruses in the future. As a result, there has been no end to the clamor for accountability.
Not long ago, the Chinese government finally announced that it would allow a WHO expert mission to Wuhan to investigate the above issues. Despite the necessity of the investigation, the current state of affairs suggests that the investigation may, to a large extent, become a diplomatic show for the Chinese government, with the final results of the investigation either coming to nothing or turning out to be a posthumous commendation of the Chinese government’s performance in fighting the epidemic.
First of all, how much evidence can be preserved after a year-long investigation of an epidemic of this magnitude? If the Chinese government was really responsible for the virus leak, a year would have been enough time to destroy all the evidence. Cai Xia, a former professor at the Central Party School, once pointed out that a huge explosion occurred in the direction of the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research laboratory around 1:00 p.m. on February 13, 2020. The sound shook the residential area around the lab, and videos of Wuhan residents’ homes with lights shaken to the point of shaking and doors and windows rattling were circulated online at the time. However, local newspapers in Wuhan reported that it was a sonic boom generated by a plane flying over Wuhan. Such an explanation, I think three years old children will not believe.
So, what was this huge explosion all about? How much evidence would be destroyed by a big explosion? These are probably big question marks in the minds of those who know anything about the CCP’s past practice of covering up the truth of events. After such a bizarre event, I’m afraid the World health Organization has zero chance of finding solid evidence.
Even so, the Chinese Communist authorities do not seem to be reassured. According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, a large amount of important information involving China’s Wuhan Institute of Virus Research has been removed from the Internet. The millions of pages of information that were removed included research conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research, as well as important research data from Shi Zhengli, the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases. What’s more, more than 300 studies published by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, including studies on animal-borne diseases, have also been completely removed.
It is well known that data on the transmission of the new coronavirus from bats to humans are important clues to the investigation of the origin of the virus. The blatant and massive disappearance of these clues before the arrival of the WHO expert group is now tantamount to having foretold the end of this foreign expert group’s investigation, which is: nothing. But the folly of the authorities’ approach was also revealed: just when the outside world, including former US deputy national security adviser Bo Ming, who knows a lot about Chinese affairs, was pointing to the Wuhan virus research laboratory as the root cause of the outbreak, the authorities hastily started to delete information about this laboratory, which is not “nothing here”.
In addition, how will the World Health Organization’s team of experts collect evidence when they arrive in Wuhan? It is also a big problem. Not to mention the destruction of all the written materials, even if the person concerned can be questioned by the panel, they dare to tell the truth? Japan’s Kyodo News reported that as early as last August to September, Wuhan officials had issued a gag order, asking doctors not to leak information to the outside world, or risk being punished for “espionage”. Under such pressure, the WHO experts were unable to obtain even human evidence.
Faced with the physical evidence has been destroyed, the evidence has been sealed, the parties have been fully prepared to deal with the investigation, the WHO expert group to Wuhan investigation, is destined to have no real results. On the other hand, it may become a guest actor in a political show for the CCP to prove that it is not responsible because of the lack of results. No wonder some netizens jokingly said that the WHO experts were actually visiting Wuhan.
Investigations are necessary, but such official investigations arranged by the CCP are, in my opinion, meaningless.
