China refutes U.S. politicians claim of COVID-19 originating in Wuhan laboratory

Beijng: The Chinese Foreign Ministry has refuted the claim by some U.S. politicians that the novel coronavirus originated in a laboratory in Wuhan.

Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks when asked for comments about the so-called latest evidence of the origin of the virus as recently revealed by an internal cable of the U.S. State Department.

With respect to the management and research of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), Yuan Zhiming, director of the National Biosafety Laboratory at the institute, had given a comprehensive introduction during an inclusive interview, Mr Wang said.

He said that a few politicians in the United States spread rumours and even claimed to have “a large amount of evidence” to support their so-called “truth,” showing they have no morals at all.
