Beijing (AFP) - China hit out at the "dark history" of the US intelligence community Thursday, after President Joe Biden ordered a probe into the Covid-19 origins which threatens to set the course for relations between world's top economies.
The countries' trade envoys have held "candid" phone talks on the progress of a deal plotted as a pathway out of a trade war sparked by former President Donald Trump, which saw tariffs lumped on tens of billions of dollars of the rivals' goods.
But on Wednesday, President Biden reopened a barely healed sore between the countries by ordering US intelligence agencies to report to him within 90 days on whether the Covid-19 virus first emerged in China from an animal source or from a laboratory accident.
The lab-leak theory, initially trotted out by Trump then dismissed as "highly unlikely" by a delayed World Health Organization mission to China, has resurfaced in recent days, driven by Washington.
The Biden administration's "motive and purposes are clear", Zhao Lijian a ministry of foreign affairs spokesman said on Thursday, rejecting the need for a new investigation into the pandemic.
"The dark history of the US intelligence community has long been known to the world," he added, referring to the US' unfounded allegations of weapons of mass destruction which led to its invasion of Iraq.
Reviving the lab leak theory "is disrespectful to science... and also a disruption to the global fight against the pandemic", Zhao said.

ChiComs are noting to ChiCom Joe and the ChiComDems this was not part of the deal.
Puppet Biden handlers are trying to sweep it all back under the rug in 90 days.
Expose them! Expose them all.
1-2-3 BUMP
Didn’t biden cancel the probe Trump had going. He reopens it sounds fishy, likely has different people looking into it. Will find nothing or info in chinas favor.
Of course Red China has to go along with this. They know that no investigation will take place and that in the end it will be announced that the virus was Trump’s fault.
Biden’s speech writers are learning Mandarin right now so they can load an apology statement into the Teleprompter.

If Trump was surrounded with smart people, they would point this out loudly and often.
Jao Plagiarist will just read Cena's script, word for word - well, except with additional mumbles and verbal salad.
Biting the hands of your masters, Mr. resident?
Do the Chicoms have a Kubuki theater? If so,this is it.
We shouldn’t keep our hopes high for this “investigation”. It is nothing but a TWA800-NTSB-FBI-CIA-cover-up-type probe designed to show that “s-h-i-t-happens out of random” and aviation fuel can blow up spontaneously. In the future all Google search results will be leading to the results of this “investigation” declaring China innocent of any wrongdoing. Mark my words: it’s been tried before and worked well.
If Trump was surrounded by smart people that was on his side he may still be president. I think he got some bad advice. Should have cleaned the FBI out along with DOJ.
How soon before Slow Jow apologizes in Mandarin like John Cena? Go to do anything to keep the money train flowing.
Agreed. Plus I notice they are not touching the second question, which is why, regardless of origin, the virus was allowed and even perhaps facilitated to go from a local outbreak to a pandemic.
The same people who “investigated” the Benghazi attack in 2012 will “investigate” this.
China not only created it, but they purposefully allowed it to spread so that they weren't the only country to have severely retarded economic growth. What they did was a crime against humanity.
And it had many willing accomplices here and abroad who acted, at least, as assessories-after-the-facts and assessories-before-the-facts. Many political untouchables have blood on their hands.
Note the similarity of how China rails against any mention or thought that they were responsible for the virus and the way the democrats rail against the voter fraud in 2020. The similarity is astounding.
Biden and the word “intelligence” in the same sentence. Editorial malfeasance.
