BEIJING (Global Times): The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday (March 30) questioned whether the US is exerting pressure on international experts from the WHO-China joint team on tracing virus origins, as the US has repeatedly expressed "concerns" about the joint report ahead of its release.

In an interview with CNN on Sunday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken showed his concerns about the "methodology and the process" behind the report and claimed "China apparently helped the WHO write the report."
