Western countries’ attack on WHO's Covid-19 report ‘politically driven’, conduct global probe: Chinese experts

BEIJING (Global Times): After a joint WHO-China report on tracing the origins of Covid-19 dismissed the possibility of the virus being leaked from a lab, a conspiracy that serves as ammunition for Western media and politicians to disparage China, a number of China bashers have questioned the impartiality and even asked for a second investigation.

Chinese observers see the accusation as "presumption of guilt" and politically driven. If the investigation is politically guided, there won't be any fair and scientific outcome, said scientists, calling for first stage probes in other countries in order to have a clearer picture of the virus origins.
