China News Service, Beijing, July 5 (Reporter Zhang Su) A number of "international scientists" signed a joint open letter recently, clamoring for a comprehensive investigation of the origin of the new crown virus, and even said that Western countries and others should jointly conduct "alternative investigations."
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin pointed out at a regular press conference on the 5th that it is not the first time these "international scientists" have done this kind of grandstanding.
He also said that the experts who pretended to be the source of the virus can be described as "the ignorant and fearless."
At the meeting, Wang Wenbin criticized and clarified article by article regarding the identity of the "international scientist", the "comprehensive investigation power" proposed in the joint open letter, and the so-called "alternative investigation".
Wang Wenbin first pointed out that one of the initiators of the open letter was a senior researcher of the Atlantic Council, a US think tank, which could not obscure his government background and politician nature as a member of the National Security Council of the White House.
Another is a bank data engineer, but posing as an expert on virus traceability issues, making unproven and irresponsible remarks, it can be said that "the ignorant is fearless".
"For the'scientists' who are focused on'existence' and'seeking attention', I advise them to devote themselves to scientific research in their respective fields and do some things that are truly beneficial to mankind." Wang Wenbin said, on the contrary, many really uphold the spirit of seeking truth from science. Scientists with objective and impartial positions have been besieged and abused by individual governments and extremist forces, and even "death threats."
The occurrence of this black and white reversed thing is thought-provoking.
"I believe that some of the co-signers of this open letter still have scientists who are unclear about the truth and have been coerced and exploited. I want to tell them that the WHO joint research report on traceability has reached scientific and authoritative phased conclusions. Hopefully. Don't be blinded by the fake'truth', don't be influenced by politicized'science', don't be deceived by rumors and lies, and return to the track of scientific rationality." Wang Wenbin said.
Regarding the mention in the open letter that the investigation team should have comprehensive investigation powers, Wang Wenbin emphasized that the problem of traceability is and can only be joint scientific research, and joint research must not be turned into a unilateral investigation of China in disguise.
He further pointed out that with regard to the so-called request to share original data, during the China-WHO joint expert group’s investigation in China, China showed the original database of early cases to the WHO expert group one by one, and Chinese and foreign experts made full use of the data at the scene to jointly determine and analyze Ideas, jointly formulate analysis plans, jointly analyze the research results, and jointly explain the results. The research results are deeply involved and fully recognized by foreign experts.
The open letter also proposed that "the Western countries and the G7, the United States, Japan, India, and Australia's "four-nation mechanism" will jointly carry out an "alternative investigation"."
Wang Wenbin said that this is a case of individual countries using the so-called "international scientists" to expose their true thoughts, that is, they did not shy away from engaging in "presumption of guilt" and engaging in "political manipulation" without concealment.
"I want to emphasize again that traceability is a scientific issue. Relying on scientists, insisting on scientific attitudes, and applying scientific methods is the correct path. According to the requirements of the WHO resolution and the conclusions and recommendations of the joint traceability research report It is the right direction to carry out more in-depth and detailed scientific research and cooperation on a wider scale." Wang Wenbin said that any action to politicize the traceability issue is to politicize the scientific research atmosphere of poisons, hinder global traceability cooperation, and undermine the global fight against the epidemic. Hard work.
He finally said: "We advise individual countries and relevant forces to stop these botched performances and truly make a positive contribution to human life and health." (End)
