Given growing international calls for an independent investigation into the source of the new coronaviruses, Chinese Minister Chen Wen told the BBC that these requests are “politically motivated” and will distract China from responding to the epidemic.
The virus is believed to have first appeared in a wildlife market (seafood market) in Wuhan City late last year. Internationally, information on the traceability and spread of the new coronavirus is generally believed to help countries respond to the virus epidemic, but scientists generally believe that the virus is not manufactured in the laboratory.
At the same time, an EU report accused China of spreading false information during the crisis. According to the EU Foreign Ministry, Russia and, to some extent, China, “are targeting an” offensive information conspiracy theory “against the EU and neighboring countries. US President Trump has repeatedly criticized the China’s ineffectiveness in dealing with the epidemic The Chinese government was sued for the loss of the epidemic.
What is China opposed to?
Since the outbreak began, the outside world has repeatedly asked China to allow international researchers to go to Wuhan to study the outbreak. On Thursday (April 23), Australian Prime Minister Morrison said the country is planning an independent investigation into the origin of the virus at the annual meeting of the World Health Organization next month. The World Health Organization is the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization, and Australia is the executive committee of the General Assembly. The World Health Assembly has planned to respond to relevant appeals to discuss the lessons learned in health emergencies.
But Chen Wen told the BBC that China would not agree to such an investigation. She said: “Independent investigations are politically motivated.” “We are working hard to combat the virus and gather all the forces to combat it. Why should we discuss the investigation? This will distract attention and disperse resources.”
“This is a politically motivated initiative, and I think no one will agree … This does not benefit anyone.” Chen Wen said there are currently many rumors about the source of the virus, but the false information is very dangerous and related to the new coronavirus. The same political virus, or even more dangerous.

BBC security reporter Gordon Corera
The European government has been vigilant about whether it should have a diplomatic dispute with China during delicate times. Like other British officials, an official who requested anonymity told the BBC that because the bilateral relationship is delicate, there will be “tension” every time he confronts China head-on.
Many countries rely on Beijing to provide important teams to deal with the crisis, and hope that information will flow smoothly so they can understand the epidemic and prevent the next outbreak. Experts believe that this has allowed them to be cautious in their handling.
Charles Parton, a former diplomat in China and now a principal investigator for the Joint Research Institute for Reintegrated Homes, said: “We have to be cautious in drafting and dealing with each other because we have more important things to deal with.”
By contrast, the United States facing the election year is more politicized in its approach to China, and several people have called for toughness in Beijing and pressure to investigate the source of the virus.

The report claims that Chinese officials and official media tried to dismantle accusations against the epidemic and suppress the mention of Wuhan when describing the source of the virus. Some officially controlled social media platforms are releasing a statement that the epidemic is related to a US military delegation that visited the local area last year. Relevant
