U.S. officials say China will face international isolation China: a naked threat of blackmail

China Daily, June 21 (Reporter Zhou Jin) Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular news conference on 21 June that there is no basis for saying that China has said "no" to the traceability investigation, and that it is even more alarmist to say that China is facing international isolation.

A reporter asked, THE US president's national security adviser Sullivan said that if China does not allow a real investigation into the origin of the new crown virus in its territory, it will face isolation in the international community. What is the Foreign Ministry's comment on this?

Zhao Lijian said that the relevant us statement is a naked blackmail and threat, and the Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition, and will never accept it. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has always shared its experience in prevention, control and diagnosis and treatment with other countries in an open and transparent manner without reservation. China has twice received WHO experts to China and issued a joint expert group traceability study with WHO, making positive contributions to global traceability. There is no basis for saying "no" to the traceability survey, and it is even more alarmist to say that China faces international isolation.

He said that traceability is a scientific issue that should be carried out by global scientists in cooperation, rather than being arbitrarily politicized, which is the consensus of the vast majority of countries in the international community. The US side blindly pursues the so-called "international investigation" of the political manipulation style, uses intelligence personnel instead of scientists to carry out relevant assessments, and introduces the so-called "logic of strength" on the issue of traceability.

He said that the US side has repeatedly smeared and attacked China, which is nothing more than to curb China's development, and it is nothing more than to blame for its own inability to fight the epidemic. If the United States really cares about the truth, then hurry up and answer three questions:

First, who is responsible for the United States' inability to fight the epidemic? To date, the number of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the United States has exceeded 33.54 million and 600,000, respectively. As the most developed country in the world in terms of medical resources and technology, the United States should consider how to comfort every American who has died of covid-19, how to hold accountable U.S. officials who are incapacitated in the fight against the epidemic, and how to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy.

Second, has the coronavirus already spread on U.S. soil? Previously, an analysis of blood samples from more than 24,000 U.S. people taken in the first three months of last year by the National Institutes of Health showed that the new coronavirus appeared in the United States in December 2019, weeks ahead of the first official confirmation of the detection of cases. In December 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Infectious Diseases Association reported that antibodies to the coronavirus had been detected in blood samples from at least 39 people in California, Oregon, and Washington, 2019, from December 13 to 16, 2019. For these early domestic cases, the U.S. government should seriously and transparently investigate them.

Third, what is the real situation at the Fort Detrick Biological Experiment Site? Debourg inherited the devil's legacy of the "Unit 731" of the Japanese invasion of China, and its laboratory research involved certain bacteria that had been identified as posing a "serious threat to the health of the public, animals and plants". In June 2019, Deborough was ordered to stop research work after being found to have not followed procedures, mechanical failures and leaks, and almost at the same time, unexplained respiratory diseases began in northern Virginia, and a large-scale outbreak of "e-cigarette disease" in Wisconsin. So far, the US Government has always been vague and silent about the above-mentioned issues. Considering the US government's usual "gatekeeper theory", the destruction of key evidence in events such as the Tulsa Genocide, the practice of controlling the spread of manipulation, and the consistent "lying, cheating, and stealing" behavior of the US intelligence department, how can the US side be convincing? How do you ensure transparency? Why not provide international experts with the necessary access to relevant information?
