Covid: China against G7, do not 'politicize' the origin

(ANSA) - BEIJING, June 14 - The origin of the Covid-19 epidemic "is a scientific question". China "has always maintained an open and transparent attitude and has taken a leading role in cooperation on its traceability with the WHO". A spokesman for the Chinese embassy in London, in response to the final statement of the G7, objected that it is not necessary to "politicize", but to follow a work done in a "scientific, objective and fair way", glossing over the request for a new investigation. "The China-WHO Expert Group conducted research independently, writing independent reports, following WHO procedures and adopting scientific methods."
