Chinese Ambassador to China Tsui Tenkai warned rumors of panic and racism targeting rumors related to the spread of the new coronavirus.
In an interview with CBS on Tuesday, Ambassador Cui said that US Republican Senator Tom Cottone raised allegations that a new corona might have originated in China's biochemical warfare program. "It is very harmful. It's dangerous. "
He then criticized, "promoting (and) panic, fanning racial discrimination, xenophobia," and "all of this really hurts joint efforts against the new corona."
"Much hasn't been figured out," Cui added. "Scientists in China, the United States, and other countries are doing their best to find out more about the new corona."
Ambassador Cui said, “We are all very sad because of his death. Defended.
"He was a good doctor, a dedicated doctor, and he did his best to protect people's health. We thank him very much."
He then disagreed with the identity and impact of the new corona, saying, "Some may not have responded fast enough. Perhaps Riwon has detected an upcoming risk earlier than others. But it happens everywhere." I added.
"Every time we find a problem, we will do our best to correct it."
Mr. Cotton clung to the original claim after the interview with Ambassador Cui, saying, "It's true, not conspiracy or theory."
