The U.S. has repeatedly tried to shift blame and smear China concerning the origin of the novel coronavirus, fully exposing the sinister face of politicizing scientific issues. This approach has been derided by the scientific community, and the conspiracy to contain China through this approach will not succeed, the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson said that currently, an increasing number of clues and evidence point to novel coronavirus appearing earlier in the U.S., indicating that future tracing efforts should be carried out in the U.S..
The spokesperson urged the U.S. side to immediately cease smearing and attacking China, face its own issues, and offer a sincere and accountable explanation to people of the world and the international community.
