BEIJING (Bloomberg): A columnist at one of China’s key state newspapers warned Elon Musk against perpetuating the theory that Covid-19 leaked from a laboratory in the country.

An article published Tuesday (Feb 28) by the official WeChat account of China’s Global Times said that "ridiculously, anti-China forces in the United States are again hyping the rumours that the coronavirus originated from a lab leak in Wuhan,” and pointed to Musk’s recent activity on Twitter, the social media network he owns.
