While a team of experts from the World Health Organization was conducting a field investigation in Wuhan recently, allegations emerged that China refused to provide some of the data requested by the researchers. A team of experts announced that there is no evidence that Corona 19 originated in China, but controversy over China’s transparency continues. Get connected by phone to Beijing. Correspondent Sungwoong Kang! What is the data that China refused to provide? These are detailed data on confirmed cases in Wuhan in December 2019, the early start of Corona 19. A team of experts from the World Health Organization, which had recently conducted a field investigation, requested the provision, but the Chinese authorities refused. The Wall Street Journal newspaper reported there were 174 confirmed cases in Wuhan at the time, and a team of experts requested detailed raw data. But Chinese government officials and scientists gave them only their own analysis and extensive summaries, the Wall Street Journal quoting members of the expert team. The data, according to The Wall Street Journal, can help determine when and how Corona 19 began to spread in China. Danish virus scientist Thea Fischer, a member of the expert team, said there were no contradictions in the data available in Wuhan, but that in-depth analysis could not be performed due to a lack of basic data, the Wall Street Journal said. . At the same time, the experts and the Chinese side presented the situation at the time when their emotions sometimes escalated. A team of experts has already announced the results of the visit. What is the position of the World Health Organization? The World Health Organization is open to all hypotheses and believes that more research and analysis is needed in the future. They also assessed that the visit to Wuhan gave them a better understanding of Corona 19’s initial situation and where further investigation is needed. In a video, WHO Secretary-General Thewardross Gubrersus said in a video that the investigation team is currently working on a summary report. He also said that a summary report will be released next week and a final report will be available in a few weeks. However, with experts from more than 10 countries, including Germany, Denmark, and Russia, as well as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan who are participating in this research team, I am interested in whether a meaningful conclusion will be reached. level that can end controversy on important issues. Above all, China has accepted an investigation into Wuhan for four weeks, but the opacity remains in question. In particular, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post noted that in the case of prolific US zoologists, questions are being raised as they have cooperated with the Wuhan Virus Research Institute, which is at the center of the controversy over the outbreak. of the virus. Peter Prolific, the only American expert on the expert team, said the United States was wrong in many respects and tweeted to the Biden administration not to rely too heavily on American information. In this situation, the controversy continues, as China has urged that the United States be investigated and claims that the investigation should be extended to Southeast Asian countries.
