China Rejects Proposed WHO Probe Into COVID-19 Origins
The CCP mouthpiece Global Times: “WHO chief succumbs to US-led West’s pressure.”
Communist China has rejected the latest request by the World Health Organization (WHO) to allow further probes into the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus.
In response to the WHO’s plea, Beijing repeated its bizarre claim that the Wuhan virus originated somewhere else before making its appearance in central China. On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s told the global hearth agency to focus “further research around earlier cases globally and further understanding the role of cold chains and frozen foods in the transmission of the virus.”
On Friday, the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged China to cooperate in the second phase of the investigation into the origins of the global pandemic that began in the Chinese province of Hubei.
The plea came amid Chinese attempts to withhold critical data needed to analyze the origin and the spread of the Wuhan virus. We are “asking actually China to be transparent, open and cooperate, especially on the information, raw data that we asked for at the early days of the pandemic,” the WHO chief said on Friday.
The Hong Kong daily South China Morning Post reported Chinese foreign ministry’s response:
Beijing says the World Health Organization’s proposal for further research into the origins of Covid-19 is “inconsistent” with its position and the focus of the next phase of inquiry should move away from China.
The WHO plan was announced on Friday, a day after director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged Beijing to cooperate with the second phase of the study and to be transparent, saying scientists still lacked enough raw data on infections and possible cases in the early days of the outbreak.
Beijing responded that the proposal was under review by Chinese experts. On Monday foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the next phase of investigation should be led by WHO member states and agreed upon through consultation, and that the search for possible early cases should be expanded worldwide.
“The proposal for the second phase of origin tracing by the WHO Secretariat is inconsistent with the position of the Chinese side and also of many countries,” Zhao said at a regular press briefing.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) also reacted angrily to the proposed probe. The “WHO chief succumbs to US-led West’s pressure in virus origins remarks,” the Maoist mouthpiece Global Times lashed out on Friday.
The mainstream media blew up when President Donald Trump in May 2020 suggested that COVID-19 may have originated in a Chinese government lab. The New York Times, The Washington Post and other media outlets rejected the claim and accused the former president of racism for highlighting China’s culpability in the spread of the pandemic.
New findings, however, give credence to President Trump’s assertions. Even the BBC, which also dismissed the Wuhan-lab theory, has admitted that many in the scientific community supported the claim that the virus may have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. “But in recent weeks the controversial claim that the pandemic might have leaked from a Chinese laboratory – once dismissed by many as a fringe conspiracy theory – has been gaining traction,” the British broadcaster noted in May.
The former president feels vindicated amid mounting evidence in support of his long-held position. “The media, the Democrats and the so-called experts are now finally admitting what I first said 13 months ago, the evidence demonstrates that the virus originated in a Chinese government lab. Couldn’t say it,” he declared at a Republican Party Convention in Greenville (NC) last month.

Personally, I’m shocked! If he was Russian he would say nyet?
There’s an amazing resemblance between the Chinese attitude and that of Fauci.
That’s because his real name is Chang Fau Chi!
Flu Manchu
The biggest resemblance is between Fauci and Biden (and half the Congress): they’re all in Xi’s pocket.
And China is seeing to it the Great American Purge is underway:

Hey! Could be. ‘n Br’er Rabbit could just be ‘fraid o’ dat ole briar patch
De briar patch is de environment dat suits B’rer Rabbit right smart. De Fauci, he layin’ low. Gives him de prickly heats.
In a world where we have all become legally forced to pretend we believe that a man who is pretending to believe he is a woman is a woman, and vice versa, the burden of proof for “bizarre claims” is no longer on the claimant.
Where else would the Fauci Virus have come from?
Fauci is a corrupt POS. We know where his virus came from.
Fauci is in a lot of people’s pockets:

Was it a bat to a pangolin or a pangolin to a bat? Now I am afraid of armadillos. They are everywhere around here. Now we need to watch out for monkeys… It is hard to keep track what to be terrified of.
We are constantly advised to look at squirrels. Maybe for a reason?
Well then, I suppose that’s that. Nothing to see, move along.
I would hope that our country would do the same. WHO Is not a legitimate organization.
Comrade Biden actually agrees. But can’t say so out loud. Because Trump, or something. Says his CCP handler.
China needs a cleansing.
A spot-free cleansing.
How stupid and naive can the Dhimmi-carts and their dhimmi counterparts in Europe, be, to posit that the Wuhan virus bioweapon was allegedly “accidentally” released? It’s just stupefying, the deulsional naivete that’s being displayed, as if these idiots have had their heads buried in the sands over the past twenty years, while the Chinese communists have demonstrated increasingly unrestrained, unabashed and gleeful belligerence and bellicosity towards western and allied Asian nations.
