China has rejected US suspicions that the coronavirus may come from a laboratory in the metropolis of Wuhan. Beijing Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said there was no evidence to suggest that the virus was made in a laboratory or leaked from there.
The origin of the virus must be clarified by science. „The World Health Organization said there is no evidence that it was made in a laboratory,“ said the spokesman today. „Many renowned medical experts have also confirmed that the claim that the virus emerged from a laboratory does not has a scientific basis. “
Trump: „We hear this story more and more“
Earlier, President Donald Trump was asked at a press conference for reports that the novel corona virus may have come from a Chinese laboratory. Trump replied, „I don’t want to say that, John. But I will tell you that we hear this story more and more. “
His government is investigating very closely what happened. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said immediately after the press conference on Fox News, when asked that China had failed to provide answers in this regard. The broadcaster propagated this theory with reference to undisclosed sources.
