On April 18th, Yuan Zhiming, director of the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory responded to US and others’ accusations that coronavirus originated in the lab.
“There is absolutely no way that the virus originated from our institute,” Yuan said in an interview with the state-run China Global Television Network.
Yuan rejected theories that the yet-to-be identified “Patient Zero” for Covid-19 had contact with the institute, saying none of its employees, retirees or student researchers were known to be infected.
In his words, US Senator Tom Cotton, and the Washington Post were among those “deliberately leading people” to mistrust the facility and its “P4” top-level-security pathogen lab.
“They don’t have any evidence on this, what they rely on is only their guess,” Yuan told CGTN. “I hope such a conspiracy theory will not affect cooperation among scientists around the world.”
US President Donald Trump at the April 18th COVID-19 conference said that China should face consequences if it was “knowingly responsible” for the outbreak.
Trump just days earlier said that “more and more” the story was being heard and that US was thoroughly investigating the matter.
“What we know is that the ground zero for this virus was within a few miles of that lab,” Peter Navarro, a Trump trade adviser, said on Fox News. “If you simply do an Occam’s razor approach that the simplest explanation is probably the most likely, I think it’s incumbent on China to prove that it wasn’t that lab.”
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said that it would be “naïve” to say that China was much better at handling COVID-19 than everybody else.
“Let’s not be so naive as to say it’s been much better at handling this,” he said of China’s management of the outbreak. “We don’t know. There are clearly things that have happened that we don’t know about.”
“We’ll have to ask the hard questions about how it came about and how it couldn’t have been stopped earlier,” British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said at a press conference.
Germany’s officials have kept silent on the matter, but the editor-in-chief of its biggest newspaper – Bild, accused the Chinese Government and President Xi Jinping of failing to even lie about the coronavirus.
In an article titled “What China Owes Us”, Julian Reichelt wrote to the Chinese president that “Your embassy in Berlin has addressed me in an open letter because we asked in our newspaper Bild whether China should pay for the massive economic damage the coronavirus is inflicting worldwide.”
“You, your government and your scientists had to know long ago that coronavirus is highly infectious, but you left the world in the dark about it. Your top experts didn’t respond when Western researchers asked to know what was going on in Wuhan. You were too proud and too nationalistic to tell the truth, which you felt was a national disgrace.”
Reichelt said that, “You rule by surveillance. You wouldn’t be president without surveillance. You monitor everything, every citizen, but you refuse to monitor the diseased wet markets in your country. You shut down every newspaper and website that is critical of your rule, but not the stalls where bat soup is sold. You are not only monitoring your people, you are endangering them – and with them, the rest of the world.”
He then noted that “surveillance is a denial of freedom. And a nation that is not free, is not creative. A nation that is not innovative, does not invent anything. This is why you have made your country the world champion in intellectual property theft.”
“China enriches itself with the inventions of others, instead of inventing on its own,” Reichelt wrote. “The reason China does not innovate and invent is that you don’t let the young people in your country think freely. China’s greatest export hit (that nobody wanted to have, but which has nevertheless gone around the world) is coronavirus.”
Bild, prior to this situation calculated that China owed Germany €149 billion for coronavirus damages. Bild said the compensation amounts to €1,784 per person if Germany’s GDP drops by 4.2 percent. The Bild article was titled: “What China owes us.”
In response, the spokeswoman for China’s embassy, Tao Lil, published an open letter to Bild in German on the embassy’s website stating that, “I followed your reporting on the corona pandemic in general and China’s alleged guilt in particular today. Apart from the fact that we consider it a pretty bad style to blame a country for a pandemic that is affecting the whole world and then to present an explicit account of alleged Chinese debts to Germany, the article ignores some essential facts.”
She added that “We note that many countries now struggling with COVID-19 have had time to prepare for the cross-border spread of the pathogen after China reported its outbreak under IHR [World Health Organization] guidelines.”
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Americunt dumbass liars are totally embarrassed after the mega bio-warfare home goal. Most people now realize that it was Pentagon Hollywood Jew fantasy virus attack on China and Iran primarily that went viral literally. It is not called Pimpeovirus for nothing.
so what you are saying is that the US is to blame for COV-19 even tho evryone in the world is saying the virus is form china……how autistic can you even be? I know 95% of the ppl on this page are trolls includeing you but the type of shit you ppl say is just ridiculous…
We just blame China, we just hate them so much……..but not racist at all.
Nothing exposes the racism, hypocrisy, arrogance and selfishness of capitalism and its backers like a major threat or catastrophe. US oligarchy and the American people are unhinged from reality.
A haplotype is a group of genes within an organism that was inherited together from a single parent. There have been 5 separate haplotypes identified around the world in Covid19. The only country where these 5 haplotypes are present is the USA.
This means that the virus marker can prove where the virus came from. China/Japan is saying the US.
This worldwide pandemic will allow us all to compare how different political systems, countries and cultures reacted to the threat. In a year or so, we shall all know how free-market capitalism compares with social-democracies or socialist countries.
So you play the racisam card that alone has made your argument invalind but i will deconstruct it even furthure. Tell me what part of the US is as you say “unhinged from reality”. “A haplotype is a group of genes within an organism that was inherited together from a single parent. There have been 5 separate haplotypes identified around the world in Covid19. The only country where these 5 haplotypes are present is the USA.” provide a credible source for that.
“This means that the virus marker can prove where the virus came from. China/Japan is saying the US.” only china has blmed the US for it Japan is ctually blaming china and even called the WHO the CHO.
“This worldwide pandemic will allow us all to compare how different political systems, countries and cultures reacted to the threat. In a year or so, we shall all know how free-market capitalism compares with social-democracies or socialist countries.” as a person whom lives in a post sotialist nation i will tell you it wont end well the fact that contys like that are struggeling without a pandemic is really telling.
I am not playing the racist card, it is racist…….China obviously was a cluster breakout and the US is the real deal.
Chinas economy is sound and leading,now why would they wanna hit on anyone? Use your head soros troll fkwit!
“Chinas economy is sound and leading,now why would they wanna hit on anyone?” no one said they made the virus in a lab, ppl blame chine for beeing unsanitary savages and rightfully so since almost evry magior desise witch has plauged the world comes form China includeing the black death of the 1400’s…let me guess the US is to blame for the black death too cuz they have a time machine and want to blame evrything on china……honestly it wont supprise me if ppl like you actualy think that. Also china’s econemy is far form leading the CCP littearly makes ghoust citys in order to keep the econemy gowing if they stop it will collapse like a house of cards.
The very fact that all accusations are coming from the same old, same old “crying babies” speaks volumes.
so more or less the whole world are “crying babies” as you say right?
Read the article again. Usa and its first line vassals, France and Germany joint the choir. The rest of the world is not that stupid and obedient.
the article failed to mention Japan, S.Korea,Austrailia etc its a fact China is guilty of the spread of this desease and the suppresion of info about it they thaught they can pull another 1989……but failed
In this instance, everyone in the world is of no consequence. Western reaction is dictated by western propaganda. That’s why “everyone in the world” says the virus is from China. It’s a great ploy, because it’s so easily digested by the gullible masses who are hiding in their homes because they are told an invisible enemy is coming to kill them and how horrible it is. It’s comedy hour at the MIC.
No you conspiracy moron its called quarantine for a reason its to stop it form spreading COVID-19 is not that deadly but it spreads like wildfire even with a 2% mortality rait if 1 billion ppl get infected thats 200 million dead…but its ok it dosent exist if i cant see it right?
You have become drunk the mainstream propaganda coolaid – which in fact, makes you the moron.
oh yes i am the moron cuz i do belive a virus is out their and its dangerous for all of us and their needs to be a lock down for a bit longer so shit can get straight…….ppl like you wold experiance smth called natural selection in the wild if push comes to shove.
You are a fearmongering imbecile – to say the least. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/latest-cdc-covid-19-numbers-make-doom-gloom-cult-look-like-complete-idiots/
a person whom uses the gateway pundant as a source…that tells enoth about you as a person.
i deleated my previous comment so i can present a better argument its not about the fact the virus has a low mortalety rait in healthy ppl its about the fact that lot of ppl whom die form corona have genetic or other conditions these ppl are a massive risk and another thing is that the viruses impact is still not fully known thats why all world govt are taking this so seriousely not to mention that even in healty ppl the virus causes permanent lung damage and not to mention actually increaces the chance of Pneumonia guess what Pneumonia is? Thats right a lung desease the virus itself is not that dangerous for healty ppl but its immune system weakening effects are the problem kinda like HIV (dont get me worng this is not as bad as HIV but i am simply making a example) HIV itself dosent kill you other commond deseases do like the common cold when you have HIV it destroyes your immune system and basicly you can die form the most trivial of deseases.
Using the Yanks logic the Skipals were poisoned by Porton down.
Most yeanks dont say anything like that at all. You say they say or copypaste it.
Most normal people in the world can sse Trump using this cheep trick in hos election campaing and dont care in so many 1000 americans die.
Its also strange to see the rest, where WHO THIS time seemes bought by the Chinese. Thongs are too infected.
But the result should not be a manipulated WHO should be replaced by semilar manipulations and the facts should win.
I am for solutions and so many kinds of ilness seemes to come from that regions. I therefore hope the Chinese will try to seperate human beings and animals more as well as they use more tools against spreading of virus and bakterias from there.
Until now its a well known facts the “Mao China” had no tools. But China of today has.
Thats where fokus should be. I am even prepared to give some money for it, which will make less pandemics.
Its the same for Regions in Africa and maybee India.
And yes. Who of course has to continue its wide spread vaccination programs too. Dont stop support.
Weren’t they? Why did the US invest $70 million in Porton Down?
The Skripal’s were poisoned by BZ manufactured at Porton Downs, they were part of the conspiracy to smuggling it into Syria to be used by the good terrorists.
Most Americans and the rest of the world dont sat something like that at all.
I am in the mode, that in internet times, it should be more golden to be mpre silence then we see now.
Accusations true as false up in the air and on my internet should not be allowed to be added as some feathers made in ´to a farm of small rossters making more dirt then eggs.
It is a bit harsh, but If you say you’re a woman he might talk nice in front of you.
Vomen in Denmark is not like that. Only few has cleaning as a hobby as well:)
Why the hell would China release a ‘deadly’ virus on the world and then ensure that their population are infected first, shutting down their economy and putting at risk triilions in Belt&Road investment?
US shysters smell easy money by doing what they do best….blaming others.
What we know is that the ground zero for this virus was within a few miles of that lab.
Just because you release your freshly developed biological and chemical agents in your foreign (and in-supervised) labs in nearby areas to test them out on local poor population (Georgia, Jordan, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Philippines, etc.) doesn’t mean others are deranged enough to do the same.
Yet again, they are projecting their own deeds on others. Just with every new accusation coming from American figures, it’s more and more convincing that they had something to do with it, regardless of other clues.
That’s why I find it so suspicious that all the Hasbara Trolls were falling over themselves to tell us how DEADLY COVID was going to be. They’re in it up to their necks
Seems like Macron is pretty schizophrenic when it comes to commenting about the P4 lab in Wuhan:
France says no evidence Covid-19 linked to Wuhan research lab set up with French help
“”We would like to make it clear that there is to this day no factual evidence corroborating recent reports in the US press linking the origins of Covid-19 and the work of the P4 laboratory of Wuhan, China,” an official at President Emmanuel Macron’s office said.”
https://www.france24.com/en/20200418-france-says-no-evidence-covid-19-linked-to-wuhan-research-lab-set-up-with-french-help
Well…
“…The lab is part of Sino-French cooperation in the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases, according to the news release.
The central government approved the P4 laboratory in 2003 when the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome spread alarm across the country. In October 2004, China signed a cooperation agreement with France on the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases. This was followed by a succession of supplementary agreements.
With French assistance in laboratory design, biosafety standards establishment and personnel training, construction began in 2011 and lasted for three years. In 2015, the lab was put into trial operation…

US officials seem oblivious to the fact that every other intelligence agency on earth has all kinds of dirt on us. I imagine that includes China and France. Flailing around throwing punches at everyone else in sight because we blew our response here and lost money has consequences. US leaders seem oblivious to the danger of loosing the distinction between the threat of its own powerless tax cattle citizens, the threat of impoverished third-world nations, and the treat of other big, powerful, well-developed nations whether they’re allies of the US or not. You can only kick around two of those. The third one is kind of a problem.
Hint: Psychopaths should really only use the rallying cries of opposing a dangerous, manufactured greater external enemy when that ‘enemy’ can’t do anything about it. That’s the way bullying (to make up for your small-penis syndrome) works. You’re not supposed to point fingers and make accusations against other kids nearly the same size as you because you might get your ass kicked. Maybe not by any single one, but when you repeatedly piss off about a dozen of them for years, you shouldn’t be too surprised if a group of them find you alone and drag your ass into an alley to ‘take care of business’.
No idea if the lab was responsible or not, and I’ll never know. But the second the MSM here started suggesting payment of reparations by China, I knew the US accusations were utter bullshit.
“China enriches itself with the inventions of others, instead of inventing on its own,” Reichelt wrote.”
These people can’t even keep their lies straight:
China Becomes Top Filer of International Patents in 2019 Amid Robust Growth for WIPO’s IP Services, Treaties and Finances
“China in 2019 surpassed the United States of America (U.S.) as the top source of international patent applications filed with WIPO amid another year of robust growth for the Organization’s international intellectual property (IP) services, treaty-adherence activity and revenue base.”
https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/articles/2020/article_0005.html
… and guess who the top corporate patent filer was?
“According to the WIPO data, China’s Huawei Technologies , the world’s biggest maker of telecoms equipment, was the top corporate patent filer for the third consecutive year.”

China obviously was a cluster breakout and the US is the real deal…………..Americans however just blame China, they hate them so much……..but not racist at all.
When the SARS virus broke out the world united in defeating it. It did that by isolating all cases and by aggressively tracing anyone who had come into contact with them. The fight was successful. The SARS virus no longer exists outside of high security laboratories.
But when the SARS-CoV-2 evolved there was no united response. One has to wonder why? China did its very best to defeat the virus. It won the fight against the virus within its country but other countries did not join in the effort to eradicate it. SARS-CoV-2 is more contagious than SARS and if we look at the example of New Zealand we know an eradication attempt could have been successful.
The SARS-CoV-1 only existed in high security laboratories. ie it was eradicated but released again either by accident or on purpose. Now we should be asking who released it……….how and why?
lololol..
there is no Virus!!!!!!!
they are all part of the satanic Zionist Agenda…….
a one world Government with Jerusalem as it´s capital under satanic Leadership.
the Control platform 5 G is global……….it is the 1 % against the 99%……
you fucking Dummies are playing their PLANNED and CONTROLLED THEATRE PLAY
We need to retrial germans for all the money they did not pay towards damages in ww2,also what usa did to vietnam,laos,cambodia,iraq,you know factual crimes against factual human beings that is.
Pompeo spearheaded secret world agents and Chinese CCP are equally guilty of coronavirus from China Wuhan lab.This virus can only be destroyed through scanning once microchip of devil is implanted in your body through contaminated force vaccine.This chip is compatible with 5G network which is highly radioactive.The Chinese coronavirus is highly active in cities and towns were 5G communication networks were install.Only alcohol can tempt coronavirus. But WHO and CCP doesn’t want scientists to tell the truth.Alcohol has proven scientifically effective against swine flu and other flu like diseases. Worldwide lockdown is a initiative to destroy world economy to make all countries duty bound for being financed for cooperative one world order.Once 5G is up and runing coronavirus will be triggered in your body for you to die in order to achieve depopulation.
We are entering computerized humanity world for the sudden release of antichrist.Whoever is having the micro chip will be mark with 666 meaning those that have received the microchips are enemies of God forever.This system is connected with soon operation banking systems for trading and withdrawal purposes Those without the chip wont be able to buy or sell.Because the chip is a through pass for devils 666.
We owe China a huge debt. The propaganda battalions of Western neo Liberal Capitalism cannot deflect what Corvid19 has exposed: the decrepit state of the quasi non existent national public healthcare. It simply doesn’t exist. Venezuela under siege has fared better than the US. This has exposed the bankruptcy of our politecal adn administrative system. If ever was the time to get the pitchforks, it is NOW!
it sufficesto say a) wuhan military world game september/october 2019, b) fort detrick, disunited states of A biolab, closed for undisclosed reasons for six months, september 2019 and c) american contingent participating in the military world game in wuhan – what else do you need. the exceptional morons brought the corona virus to China and are now pointing finger at China.
c19 was invented by amerikans at ft detrick—they operate at least 25 bioweapons labs in Africa, Georgia, Romania, etc…that they r most infected and have the most associated deaths is karma…expected in an incompetent racist nation that blames all their failures on others. while the virus is real–it is far less lethal than amerikan idiots(experts) claim—nearly all deaths regard those w premorbid conditions and the elderly…the idiot peasants –the liberals the worst –endorse police state martial law…creating mass unemployment, the demise of vast numbers of small enterprises and benefitting corporations and the ruling class in the USA…in Russia all workers are guaranteed full salaries in areas where quarantines exist….and there r no food lines as observed across the USA…as de Maistre wrote, “the people get the government they deserve”
