China won't allow access to investigate source of coronavirus until 'final victory' against virus

China's ambassador to the United Nations said Wednesday that the country's government would not allow the international community to investigate the source of the novel coronavirus until after a "final victory" against the disease.

Chen Xu told reporters during an online briefing that addressing the pandemic remained Beijing's first priority, according to Agence France Presse. He added that the second priority was countering "absurd and ridiculous" politicization of the outbreak from the U.S., which has continually criticized the government's lack of transparency during the outbreak's early stages.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that China denied repeated requests to enter the country to launch an investigation into the origins of the virus. Asked when the United Nations body may receive an invitation, Xu said "the top priority, for the time being, is to focus on the fight against the pandemic until we win the final victory."

He added that China is not "allergic to any kind of investigations, inquiries or evaluations," noting that the efforts could help work around the globe to combat future health threats.

"For whether or how the invitation will take place, we need to have the right priority setting at this moment, and on the other hand, we need the right atmosphere," he said.

Final victory maybe defined as takeover of Taiwan.
Or ww3.

It’s the old Clinton routine.

Step 1: Deny that the event even took place.
Step 2: Eventually admit that the event took place, but deny all the facts.
Step 3: Launch a lengthy “investigation”.
Step 4: Wait for everybody to forget.

One suspects that the truth has already escaped initial containment and china is hoping to discourage valid questions and will threaten (or worse?) anyone with politically embarrassing info.

That means they’re still having a bad problem with it and are still lying about what’s going on by omission.

Sounds like our crack “representative” investigations or Justus Dept. investigations.

Same nuanced EVIL, different TOTALITARIANS.

Oh...wait...the U.N. will figure it out or maybe George “Weapons of Mass Destruction” Bush. Where’s Jorge? Where’s Ghislaine?

No, they learned from the commies. There must be a school there for Dems like Harvard has that “Kennedy School of Government” for upper level Fed managers.
