Chinese State Media Demands U.S. Evidence That Coronavirus Came From Lab

Chinese state media has reacted angrily to the latest suggestions from President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic originated at a research laboratory in Wuhan, and that Beijing has since been trying to hide the course of the subsequent outbreak.

Trump and Pompeo have repeatedly blamed China for the pandemic, which has now infected more than 3.5 million people and killed more than 247,000 people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The outbreak was initially thought to have begun in a wildlife market in the central city of Wuhan, but the Trump administration has focused its attention on the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a few miles away from the suspect market. Last week, Trump claimed he is confident that the virus came from the WIV—whether released accidentally or otherwise.

of that old expression "You fuck with the bull, you get the horn". Chinese are not to be fucked with. They think in terms of generations, not weeks or months.

if Trump hadn't pulled our scientists out of that lab. Then Trump kicked out 30 Chinese journalists from America so China kicked out all of our American journalists who were in China who were reporting on the virus.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Just like he has done over and over again before.. He's good at coming up with excuses, never facts, and he's a serial liar , so the truth is his biggest threat and his enemy. He doesn't have facts, just propaganda.
