China has every right to reject WHO's embrace of lab-leak theory, says US journalist

Biased investigations into the origins of Covid-19 would lead only to more questions than answers, said the US journalist. - Reuters

BEIJING, July 25 (Xinhua): China has every right to be suspicious of the undue focus the West placed on the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a US journalist has said, noting that biased investigations into and politisation of Covid-19 origins would only lead to more questions than answers.

"The lab leak theory is a highly politicized framework for pursuing answers into the origins of Covid-19. That China would exercise caution in supporting an investigation that possesses far-from-impartial motives should come as no surprise," wrote Danny Haiphong, an independent US journalist and researcher, in an opinion article published Friday in the China Global Television Network.
