US To China: Be Honest With COVID Origin
The US envoy to China has called on China to be "more honest" about the origins of the Covid-19 virus.
BBC reports that Washington-Beijing ties have been under strain since the US shot down an alleged Chinese spy balloon in February.
Ambassador Nicholas Burns said that China needs to "be more honest about what happened three years ago in Wuhan with the origin of the Covid-19 crisis".
His comments come a day after US media reported a federal agency had found the pandemic probably started from a laboratory leak in Wuhan.
China's foreign ministry has hit back that the global outbreak's origin "was about science and should not be politicised".
Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry called on US investigators to "stop smearing China and stop politicising origins-tracing".
After it was reported that the US energy department had settled on the lab leak theory, Republican Senator Tom Cotton tweeted "being proven right doesn't matter".
