A reporter asked. Earlier, after the so-called COVID-19 traceability report was published by the US intelligence agency, officials and scholars from Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, Pakistan and other countries criticized the report.
Recently, we have noticed that many countries have publicly expressed their opposition to politicizing the issue of virus traceability.
What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin said that in recent days, many countries have questioned and criticized the use of intelligence agencies in the United States to conduct traceability investigations.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Zimbabwe stated in a statement that the so-called "virus leak caused an outbreak" lacks scientific evidence, and it is not feasible to blame China for this.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, Syria, and Djibouti stated in a statement that they firmly oppose the politicization and instrumentalization of the epidemic, and the use of presumptions of guilt to conduct virus traceability intelligence investigations against China. The use of intelligence agencies or other non-scientific institutions is not constructive and will only lead to division.
The Ministry of Health of Myanmar and Cambodia issued statements stating that the traceability of the new crown virus is a scientific issue and opposes groundless accusations or political pressure on other countries.
Spokespersons of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia and Laos said that the traceability report of the US intelligence agency is yet another slander on scientific issues. It is to leave the traceability work to non-scientific and non-professional institutions to lead the global co-operation in the traceability of the new crown virus astray.
Wang Wenbin pointed out that previously, more than 80 countries have sent letters to the Director-General of WHO, issued statements or notes, etc., requesting to maintain the scientific conclusions of the China-WHO joint research report. More than 300 political parties in more than 100 countries and regions, Social organizations and think tanks submit a joint statement against the politicization of traceability to the WHO Secretariat.
"The reaction of the international community fully demonstrates that the United States' politicization of traceability is unpopular, and it is difficult to use traceability to push blame. The international community should eliminate the interference of political viruses and create a good environment for scientific traceability." Wang Wenbin emphasized.
