Beijing Hopes Washington Will Follow China’s Lead, Invite WHO to US in Search for Origin of COVID-19 - FARS

(FNA)- The Chinese Foreign Ministry urged Washington to invite the World Health Organization (WHO) to conduct traceability testing in the US, citing the fact the American authorities found COVID-19 antibodies in blood donations as early as December 2019.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters that Beijing has always maintained close communication and cooperation with the WHO on COVID-19 traceability, and he said it was time the US followed suit, RT reported.

“I hope that the United States will adopt a positive, scientific, and cooperative attitude on traceability issues, as well as maintain transparency, like China, and invite WHO experts to the United States to conduct traceability research and make positive contributions to international anti-epidemic cooperation and scientific traceability.” Wang added.

The spokesman told reporters that traceability testing was a very complex issue, with many clues, reports and studies needing to be taken into account.

“I will give you an example. According to a research report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were antibodies to the new coronavirus in some American blood donations in December 2019. This means that the new coronavirus may have appeared in the United States at that time, earlier than the official US report,” Wang stated, reinforcing Beijing’s call for Washington to invite the WHO to America.

Wang continued to point out that China has conducted multiple rounds of in-depth exchanges and shared a lot of information and research results with international partners, including the WHO.

WHO experts are currently in China investigating the source of COVID-19, and they visited a wet market in Wuhan on Sunday. It has been widely suggested that a Chinese wet market was the environment where COVID-19 first passed to humans.

Scientists are still exploring a number of theories relating to the origins of the virus.
