China’s ambassador to the United States has renewed the Beijing regime’s conspiracy theory that the CCP virus may have originated in the United States.
Cui Tiankai, in an interview with CNN that aired on Feb. 7, was asked if World Health Organization (WHO) experts who are currently in the central Chinese city of Wuhan investigating the origin of the virus, would be granted “full access to China.”
“They are already in Wuhan. They have been in Wuhan for quite a few days,” Cui said. “My question is, will they be allowed to come here [to the United States] to do the same thing?”
Cui also brushed aside theories that the virus may have originated from either a so-called wet market or a laboratory in Wuhan.
“I think when people make accusations, they have to prove these accusations,” he said.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, originated in Wuhan, although researchers worldwide are still unclear on exactly when and how the virus first emerged.
Last month, the U.S. State Department said it “had reason to believe” several researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill with COVID-19-like symptoms in the autumn of 2019. The suggestion contradicted a claim by a researcher at the institute who said there was “zero infection” among lab staff and students.
This isn’t the first time China has sought to blame the United States for causing the pandemic. In March last year, China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian accused the U.S. Army of bringing the virus to Wuhan when participating in a military sports event.
On Jan. 18, Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, also suggested that WHO experts should “conduct origin-tracing” in the United States. Beijing also has tried to pin the blame for the pandemic on other countries, including Italy and India.
At a Feb. 5 daily briefing, Wang Wenbin, another spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, suggested that “relevant parties” should invite WHO experts to their countries for an “origin-tracing study.”
In the same CNN interview, Cui also denounced a recent British Broadcasting Corp. report about the persecution of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, saying that its sources were “untrustworthy.” The broadcaster had reported that Chinese men engaged in mass rape, sexual abuse, and torture of Uyghur women detained inside internment camps in China’s far-western Xinjiang region, based on interviews with several former detainees and a guard.
Beijing has detained more than 1 million ethnic minorities, including Uyghurs, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz people, in these camps; most of them practice Islam. Beijing claims these camps are “vocational training centers.”
“I even visited some of the vocational training centers. They are just like a campus. Not a labor camp, but campus,” Cui said.
The Washington-based nonprofit Campaign for Uyghurs, in a statement following the BBC report, said, “We hope that leaders and individuals across the world will sit with this painful reality, and search deep in your conscience to respond.”
Ziba Murat, a senior researcher for the organization, said on Twitter: “As a daughter of a #Uyghur doctor who is imprisoned in one of those camps, & as a woman, this is extremely painful to read. Anyone who still thinks this is OK and bowing to #China AND turning their back on #Uyghurs, is equally complicit.” Murat is the daughter of missing Uyghur doctor Gulshan Abbas.
A U.S. State Department spokeswoman told Reuters that the BBC report was disturbing and said China should allow “immediate and independent investigations by international observers.”
In January, then-U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo designated the Chinese regime’s persecution of Uyghurs and other majority-Muslim ethnic minorities as genocide and “crimes against humanity.”
Has Xiden agreed with him yet?
What’s the Chinese word for ‘bullshit’???
I don’t know that big was slinging a lot of it.🐂💩
I wouldn’t put it past President Le Petomane....
Same as the Mandarin for “anal swab.” Say, whatever happened to the promised anal swabs anyway? They were all the rage last week.
That’s supposed to be guy not big.
Durn auto correct.
Hmm...well...maybe something got lost in translation. If the chink meant that the US “funded” the Wuhan virus, he likely is correct!
they were recalled because they were a choking hazard for some folks.
......... Crazy Uncle Joe will now probably demand a Special investigation into how Trump released the Virus onto the world .... Nancy and Maxine will then demand that Trump be Impeached .... Again ....
Did you know that it’s obvious when communists lie? No, it’s not that looking to a side thing.
Their lips are moving ... that’s how you know they’re lying.
Who ya gonna believe, CCP or Epoch Times ??
It’s natural of course.
And sent to China from Amazon to be distributed all over the world.
RE: What’s the Chinese word for ‘bullshit’???
I hear the Chinese use the word FEI HUA a lot. And that’s just being polite. But if they want to use a term that is similar in vulgarity, they don’t use Bull, but dog, as in “Dogshit”.
Oh, why that is just a bunch of bullcrap. It originated from Wuhan, China, and from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market 武汉华南海鲜批发市场, (which the WTO inspected two days ago and found bat droppings and whatnot). COVID was then exacerbated to the levels of massive deaths by complete incompetence and lack of leadership and a unified national strategy based on solid science, in the United States. But as far as the origin is concerned, it is China.
these slopes have a lot of nerve
Communist Purge Underway & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
Fine example...
Yep. They created it under contract to Dr Fauci, then loaded up some planes with infected people to spread around and give the democraps an excuse for mail in fraudulent votes. Yep. Mission accomplished. The Manchurian candidate got in and Xi has him on a short leash.
it’s not China, but when I lived in japan, it seemed like BS was a universal term
There’s another theory which involves Dr. Fauci and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which if true, will show a US connection.

TITLE: Dr. Fauci backed funding for controversial Wuhan lab studying origin of coronavirus
(EXCERPT):
____________________________
Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the coronavirus task force, had previously backed funding for a controversial lab in Wuhan, China, that has been studying the coronavirus in bats, reports said.
Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases had shelled out a total of $7.4 million to the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab — which has become the focus of theories about the origin of COVID-19, according to Newsweek.
The National Institutes of Health, which oversees the NIAID, shut down all funding to the lab last week.
“At this time, NIH does not believe that the current project outcomes align with the program goals and agency priorities,” a deputy director at the agency wrote in a letter obtained by Politico.
_________________________
In other words, In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million.
Many scientists have criticized gain of function research, which involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, because it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release.
SARS-CoV-2 , the virus now causing a global pandemic, is believed to have originated in bats. U.S. intelligence, after originally asserting that the coronavirus had occurred naturally, conceded last month that the pandemic may have originated in a leak from the Wuhan lab.
So, the virus might not have originated in the USA but from the Wuhan Labs, but there *IS* a US connection to it - We provided MONEY for the research.
What the intent was one can only guess.
