Joe Biden accuses China of concealing “crucial information” on the origin of the Covid-19

While the report published Friday August 27 by US intelligence fails to shed light on the origin of Covid-19, President Joe Biden now accuses China of withholding information.

The question of the source of the virus is not ready to be clarified. The US President, Joe Biden, had yet given 90 days to the intelligence services to “redouble their efforts” to explain the origin of the pandemic. But the experts were unable to resolve the issue, nevertheless they concluded that SARS-CoV-2, the scientific name for the virus, was not developed “as a biological weapon” and “probably” was not. designed “genetically”.

In a statement, the tenant of the White House then pointed the finger at China which, according to him, prevents the investigators from carrying out their investigations. “Crucial information on the origins of the pandemic exists in China, and yet from the start, government officials in China have worked to prevent international investigators and global public health actors from accessing it,” he said. asserted.

A lack of transparency according to the United States

“To this day, China continues to reject calls for transparency and to hide information, even as the toll of this pandemic continues to climb,” blamed Joe Biden in the same statement. However, he expressed his determination to understand the origin of the virus and the health crisis. After the study of international experts sent by the WHO to Wuhan, the cradle of the pandemic, in January 2021, the Middle Empire also rejected, in mid-August, the organization’s call for a new investigation on its territory.

A “political manipulation” for China

Through its embassy in Washington, China has accused the US intelligence community of “political manipulation”. “The intelligence community’s report is based on a presumption of guilt on China’s part, and only to make China a scapegoat.”
