China News Service, Beijing, June 21 (Reporter Li Jingze) According to Sullivan, National Security Advisor to the US President, if China does not conduct further investigations into the source of the new crown virus, it will face isolation from the international community.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated on the 21st that the US statement was a blatant blackmail and threat. The Chinese side expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition, and would never accept it.
Zhao Lijian said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has always adopted an open and transparent attitude and has unreservedly shared its prevention and control diagnosis and treatment experience with other countries.
China has received WHO experts twice to come to China, and issued a joint expert group traceability research report with WHO, making positive contributions to global traceability work.
It is groundless to say that China said "no" to the traceability investigation, and it is even more alarmist to say that China is facing isolation from the international community.
Zhao Lijian pointed out that traceability is a scientific issue, which should be carried out by the cooperation of scientists around the world, and should not be arbitrarily politicized. This is the consensus of most countries in the international community.
The U.S. is blindly pursuing a politically manipulative so-called "international investigation," and more and more, using intelligence personnel instead of scientists to conduct relevant assessments, and introducing the so-called "logic of power" on the issue of traceability. This is the opposite of the overwhelming majority of countries in the international community. It is facing isolation in the international community.
Zhao Lijian said that the United States has repeatedly discredited and attacked China. It is nothing more than to contain China's development, and it is nothing more than to blame itself for its failure to fight the epidemic.
"If the United States really cares about the truth, then quickly answer three questions."
First, who should be responsible for the ineffective fight against the epidemic?
Zhao Lijian said that so far, the number of new coronavirus infections and deaths in the United States has exceeded 33.54 million and 600,000 respectively.
As a country with the most developed medical resources and technology in the world, the United States must consider how to comfort every American who has died of new coronary pneumonia, how to hold responsible U.S. officials incapable of fighting the epidemic, and how to avoid a repeat of the tragedy.
Second, has the new coronavirus spread in the United States long ago?
Zhao Lijian pointed out that the National Institutes of Health's analysis of the blood samples of 24,000 Americans collected in the first three months of last year showed that the new crown virus appeared in the United States in December 2019, several weeks before the official first confirmed case.
In December 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Infectious Diseases Association of the United States reported that from December 13 to 16, 2019, at least 39 people in California, Oregon, and Washington had detected antibodies to the new coronavirus in blood samples.
For these early cases in the United States, the US government should conduct serious and transparent investigations.
Third, what is the real situation of Fort Detrick's biological experiment base? Zhao Lijian said that Durburg inherited the devil's legacy of the Japanese invaders "Unit 731", and the research scope of its laboratory involved certain bacteria that have been deemed to pose "a serious threat to the health of the public, animals and plants." In June 2019, Durburg was ordered to stop research work due to inspections of non-following procedures, mechanical failures, and leakage problems. Almost at the same time, unexplained respiratory diseases began to appear in northern Virginia, and a large-scale outbreak occurred in Wisconsin. "E-cigarette disease", so far, the U.S. government has been silent on the above-mentioned issues, kept silent and kept secret. "Considering the US government's usual'gatekeeper theory', the practice of destroying key evidence and controlling the spread of the Tulsa genocide, as well as the consistent'lie, deceive, and steal' practices of the US intelligence services, what the US has done In order to be convincing, how to ensure our own transparency? Why not provide international experts with the necessary access to understand relevant information?" (End)
