Chinanews.com, Beijing, July 28 (Reporter Zhang Weiran) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 28th that the United States has deceived and confuses people on the issue of virus traceability and tried to detain unnecessarily charged charges against China. , Is to divert attention and cover up the truth about his early cases and suspicious biological laboratory.

　　A reporter asked questions. The CGTN think tank released an online opinion survey report on July 26, showing that 80% of global netizens who participated in the vote believed that the issue of the traceability of the new crown virus had been politicized.

What is China's comment?

　　Zhao Lijian said that the poll conducted by the CGTN think tank in the official languages ​​of the United Nations: Chinese, English, Russian, French, Spanish, and Arabic reflects the global public's serious dissatisfaction with the politicization of the traceability issue in the United States.

Netizens who participated in the voting expressed the same aspirations in different languages, "The investigation of the origin of the new crown virus did not solve the pandemic control problem. This is a foolish and unhelpful political strategy to cover up the United States' attempts to contain the rise of China."

　　Zhao Lijian said that for a period of time, the United States has been politicizing the epidemic, stigmatizing the virus, and instrumentalizing its traceability in order to shift responsibility for its ineffective fight against the epidemic and achieve the political purpose of discrediting and suppressing other countries. .

　　First, the United States distorts facts and spreads false information.

The United States ignored the conclusions of the China-WHO joint report, citing some officials or intelligence information without true evidence, and hyped up that "the virus was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

　　"The United States is so deceiving and confusing, trying to slap China on unnecessarily charges, just to divert its attention and cover up the truth about its early cases and suspicious biological laboratories." Zhao Lijian said.

　　Second, the United States goes against science and advocates intelligence investigations.

In order to realize the presupposition of the "laboratory leak theory," the United States abandoned scientific research and declared without shame that the intelligence agency would come up with traceability investigation conclusions within 90 days.

　　"This approach is not scientific, objective, and rigorous. It is a complete political farce." Zhao Lijian said.

　　Third, the U.S. engages in coercion and brandishes "black hands" everywhere.

The United States uses various methods such as coercion and pressure to make scientists bow their heads in the face of their hegemony and bullying, and instead supports the "laboratory leak theory."

According to reports, many scientific people who are unwilling to submit are threatened by personal attacks and verbal abuse. Some experts have to resign in order to maintain their scientific stance.

　　"Facts speak louder than words, and people's hearts can't be fooled. The US practice of political manipulation through traceability has been widely opposed by the international community." Zhao Lijian said that so far, 60 countries have sent letters to WHO Director-General Tedros Tedros , Emphasizing that virus traceability is a scientific task and cannot be politicized. The China-WHO joint research report should be maintained.

Many politicians, media, experts, and the public voiced in different ways, condemning the US's practice of politicizing traceability.

Chinese netizens have called on the WHO to investigate the signature of the Fort Detrick Biolab in the United States, which has exceeded 16 million.

　　"We are telling the US that in the face of facts, science, and justice, political manipulation is unpopular and will only end in failure." Zhao Lijian said.
