  China News Agency, Beijing, June 23 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian pointed out at a regular press conference held in Beijing on the 23rd that McCall, the chief member of the Foreign Committee of the US House of Representatives and the chairman of the Republican Party’s "China Action Group" The report on "The Origin of the Global New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic and the Role of the Communist Party of China and the World Health Organization" recently released is intended to discredit China, and is another clumsy farce of American anti-China forces.

  A reporter asked, McCall’s report listed in a timeline the important events related to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic since the end of December 2019, with the intention of explaining how the Communist Party of China concealed the epidemic information and the role WHO played in it, calling for the CCP’s early concealment of the epidemic. International investigation and asked WHO Director-General Tan Desai to resign. What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian responded that the so-called report issued by the relevant members of the US Congress disseminated false information and aimed to discredit China and shirk the responsibility of the US government against the epidemic. This is yet another botched farce of the US anti-China forces. The lies they spread have long been punctured by the white paper "China Action Against the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic" released by China and the "China-related Lies and Facts about the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic" released by China.

  At the scene, Zhao Lijian once again reviewed several important points in the early stage of the epidemic:

  On December 27 last year, Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine reported unexplained viral pneumonia to the Wuhan Jianghan District Disease Control Center; on December 30, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issued the "Emergency Notice on Doing Unclear Pneumonia Treatment" On the 31st, the National Health and Health Commission sent a working group and an expert team to Wuhan to guide the disposal of the epidemic.

  "I want to emphasize that the new coronavirus is a brand-new virus, and discovery and cognition need a process, and this process is still far from over. This is also the consensus of the international community." Zhao Lijian emphasized that after we reached preliminary conclusions, The relevant parties were notified at the first time, which reflected a responsible attitude. China’s anti-epidemic actions are open to the world, and the longitude and latitude are clear. The facts and figures are clear at a glance and can withstand the test of time and history.

  Zhao Lijian said that we advise individual politicians in the United States to respect science and facts, stop unprovoked attacks on China, focus on improving their own anti-epidemic work and safeguarding the lives and health of the American people, and play a constructive role in international anti-epidemic cooperation.
