China News Agency, Washington, August 24. The Chinese Embassy in the United States published an article on the issue of the traceability of the new crown virus on the 24th, stating that the traceability of the virus is a serious scientific issue, and science must be respected, based on science, and it should only be done by scientists. Draw conclusions through in-depth research.
Regarding the background of publishing this article entitled "Supporting Scientific Tracing and Opposing Political Viruses", the embassy in the United States pointed out that for some time, some US media have spread the "Chinese laboratory leak theory" of the new crown virus, and made a "presumption of guilt" against China. .
In the spirit of respect for facts, science, and justice, the Chinese Embassy in the United States recently wrote articles to explain China's position and clarify the facts to some American media, but they were all rejected.
The article said that the World Health Organization's international expert group went to China twice to conduct joint research on traceability and released a joint research report that it is "extremely impossible" for the new coronavirus to be introduced into humans through the laboratory.
This is an authoritative report that can stand the test of science and history, but its conclusions are being questioned.
The article emphasizes that in late August, the US intelligence community will issue an investigation report on the virus coming from nature or leaking from a Chinese laboratory.
No matter what conclusions this report draws, its arguments are simply not valid, because China has never done a laboratory to produce a new coronavirus.
The article stated that when the WHO expert group came to China to carry out traceability work, China was completely open and transparent, and met all its visit requirements without any restrictions.
So many authoritative scientists, through such a scientific method of tracing, the conclusions they draw should be scientific, true, and credible, and their efforts should be respected.
"However, there are individual forces and individuals who are always keen on stigmatizing the epidemic, labeling the virus, politicizing the source, betraying science and truth, and distorting facts and truth."
The article pointed out that China’s position on the issue of global traceability is consistent and clear, and it always supports and will continue to participate in scientific traceability. What China opposes is political traceability, traceability that violates WHO resolutions, and abandoning China-WHO joint research. Traceability of the report.
The second-stage traceability should be fully extended on the basis of the first-stage traceability, and traceability work should be carried out in many countries around the world to truly find the truth and answers.
The article said that the United States itself shut the door to traceability to death, but clamored to trace the source to China in an attempt to prove that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had leaked the new crown virus.
As the country with the most laboratory problems, shouldn't the United States invite the WHO to Fort Detrick and the University of North Carolina for traceability investigations?
Shouldn’t we respond to the international community’s concerns about the opaque and unsafe activities of Deburg and explain the situation of the artificial synthesis and modification of the coronavirus in the University of North Carolina Biolab and its poor safety record?
The article finally emphasizes that the more stubborn the virus, the more united humanity must be, and the more countries must cooperate.
As two large responsible countries, China and the United States should and can cooperate in promoting global epidemic prevention and control, vaccines, etc., so that the sun of cooperation can dispel the haze of the plague!
