China News Service, United Nations, July 28, "We are telling the United States that political manipulation will not be able to defeat the epidemic, nor will it be popular, and it is doomed to failure." Ambassador Dai Bing, Chargé d’affaires of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations, severely refuted the United States' use of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the 28th. Groundless accusations made by China.
Dai Bing attended and spoke at the informal meeting of the UN General Assembly on hearing the report of the independent expert group on response to the new crown epidemic.
He said that the U.S. representative once again abused the UN platform today and used the virus traceability issue to engage in political manipulation, which is completely inconsistent with the original intention of the meeting. China firmly opposes this.
Dai Bing pointed out that China has been actively participating in international traceability cooperation and has twice invited WHO experts to China to conduct joint research on traceability.
The experts went to all the places they wanted to go, met all the people they wanted to see, made a scientific conclusion that "a laboratory leak is extremely unlikely", and made important suggestions such as "searching for possible early cases on a global scale" , Has been widely recognized by the international community.
The next stage of traceability work should continue to extend on this basis, and various early cases that have been discovered in many countries and points around the world have been studied.
Dai Bing said that everyone sees clearly that the United States has deviated from science and facts and politicized and stigmatized the issue of traceability. The purpose is to shift responsibility for its ineffective fight against the epidemic; the United States is to achieve the political purpose of smearing and suppressing other countries. The wanton dissemination of false information and lies has completely lost the bottom line of scientific ethics and morality; the United States has been aggressively intimidating, and unscrupulously interfered with international traceability research cooperation, which has been strongly condemned by the international community.
In fact, the second-stage traceability work plan proposed by the WHO Secretariat a few days ago has been severely politicized, and many countries have expressed serious concerns and opposition to this.
Dai Bing emphasized that the source of the new coronavirus must be traced.
China is willing to uphold the spirit of openness, transparency, science, and cooperation, and support the promotion of traceability research cooperation in many countries around the world on the basis of full consultation among member states.
The source of the political virus must also be traced.
We urge the United States to respect science, save lives, stop disrupting international anti-epidemic cooperation and virus traceability cooperation, and welcome WHO experts to come to the United States to conduct traceability research in an open, transparent and cooperative manner.
We warn the United States that political manipulation will not be able to defeat the epidemic, and it will also be unpopular and doomed to failure.
