BEIJING - China has released genome sequencing data for the coronavirus responsible for a recent outbreak in Beijing, with officials saying on Friday it identified a European strain based on preliminary studies.
China, which had been under pressure to make the data public sooner rather than later as COVID-19 cases mount in the country’s capital, said it had also submitted the data to the World Health Organization.
“According to preliminary genomic and epidemiological study results, the virus is from Europe, but it is different from the virus currently spreading in Europe,” CDC official Zhang Yong was cited as saying in an article published on Friday by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on its website.

History will rewrite that it was the white European male’s fault.
"Yeah, that's the ticket!"
"Yeah, that's the ticket!"
The West needs to decouple economically from this lying thieving, parasitic, irresponsible communist led nation. Nothing coming out of China should be believed.
It’s acceptable to call it the European virus.
France did significant funding of the Wuhan lab that released this bit of germ warfare.
So they created something in a lab. It got out went around the world and in the process of infecting everybody, mutated. Now they say the new strain is the west’s fault. Of course it’s all BS but that’s commi reasoning.
And don’t forget about all the millions of faulty masks they charged Europe for.
Um, no.
It is possible, however, for the virus to have been reintroduced from Europe after being eliminated in China where it first emerged. Such a reintroduction would show up in genetic data from the virus.
But Covid-19 did not originate in Europe. And we do not really know if China eliminated Covid-19 as they have claimed.
Not a student of history but seems like this would be expected
Spanish flu went around the world several times without massive international travel
Once again Al Reuters comes through by bringing the world the truth about issues of the day.
It was spread by the movement of troops which was extensive.
True, but I believe that pales in comparison to international and non international travel in 2020.....before lockdowns.
It comes from Europe but is not in Europe?
How bou' dah?
“Spanish flu went around the world several times without massive international travel”
You do know that there was a war on then, right? Two million Americans and 424,000 Canadians went to Europe, 335,000 Australian and 100,000 New Zealanders were deployed overseas. About a half million Africans fought in Europe. There were civilian laborers too, including about 140,000 brought from China. That’s how the virus spread.
And you think that todays travel has less movement than that????????????????????????????????????????????????
FOr the people who cant seem to comprehend that travel today is far more fluid than during the Spanish flu..there are sites that reveal passengers who fly
and add to that other lines of transportation
boggles my mind that people think more people were transported during the Spanish flu than in 2020.
Agree. Everything happened much faster.
“boggles my mind that people think more people were transported during the Spanish flu than in 2020.”
