Foreign minister blasts efforts by US politicians to 'fabricate rumours' about pathogen's origins and 'stigmatise China'. FMTNews
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi is seen on big screens at a media centre during a press conference in Beijing.
Wang Yi blasted what he called efforts by US politicians to “fabricate rumours” about the pathogen’s origins and “stigmatise China”. Both US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have accused China of a lack of transparency over the issue, and repeatedly pushed the theory that the virus leaked from a Chinese maximum-security laboratory.
“China is open to working with the international scientific community to look into the source of the virus,” Wang said at a press conference on the sidelines of China’s annual parliament session.“Fairness means the process be free of political interference, respect the sovereignty of all countries, and oppose any presumption of guilt.”
