China says it’s been ‘open and transparent’ on COVID origins

BEIJING (AP) — China on Tuesday said it has been “open and transparent” in the search for the origins of COVID-19, after questions about how the pandemic began received new attention.

Most recently, the U.S. Department of Energy assessed with “low confidence” that the pandemic that was first detected in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019 began with the leak of a virus from a lab. The report hasn’t been made public.

China had “shared the most data and research results on virus tracing and made important contributions to global virus tracing research,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning Mao told reporters at a daily briefing.

“Politicizing the issue of virus tracing will not smear China but will only damage the U.S.’s own credibility,” Mao said, in response to complaints from U.S. officials and members of Congress that China has not been entirely cooperative.

Her comments came amid continuing questions about how the virus that has killed more than 6.8 million people worldwide first emerged.

Yes, of course - and they certainly have a loyal small band of backers here spreading their propaganda to try to get them off the hook.

Why is the Department of Energy researching pandemics?

The Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime still remains the master at “open and transparent” sharing of various kinds of misinformation and disinformation, easily the equal of the best that Xi Jinping and the CCP can come up with.

Of course, lying and subterfuge are still the mainstays of diplomacy and negotiation the world over, else how could statecraft survive as an art form?

“open” ??

BS!!!!

Why does everyone keep tap dancing around the reason FOR the leak?

I mean, it will be forever linked to the 2020 US Presidential election... unless you are a lying Liberal who thinks that cheating and voter fraud are OK, and even necessary, to get YOUR candidate into the WH!!! How ELSE were Liberals going to push for, and GET, mass mail-in voting...mail-in ballots being the easiest to get your hands on and to manipulate.

Yes, but at least we see clearly that the Associated Press is controlled by communiist governemnt of China.

Notice no quotes form the opposing view. A standard in honest journalism

Notice no mention of the Chinese governments slow release of biuological data on the virus. From the same Associated press that always tells us, without citing the treaty, that the Russiann invasion was illegal, and of course, that Trump’s claims are false.

and most of all, no mention of this:
When from the time the virus first hit, China has denied access to outisders to the Wuhan lab, to interviews with the scientists, or to medical records, time sheets, etc. of the staff.

Thanks AP. Hope you were well paid for betraying the people of you own country, and indeed the people of the world.

It hasn't been. Trump called China out and the Democrats defended China.
