Zhao Lijian, Spokesman & Deputy Director General of the Information Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accused the United States of being the origin of the novel coronavirus, stating, “It might be the US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent!”
On his Twitter account @zlj517, Zhao posted in both Chinese and English:
During the House Oversight Committee Wednesday, “1/2 CDC Director Robert Redfield admitted some Americans who seemingly died from influenza in the posthumous diagnosis, had tested positive for the novel #coronavirus. #COVID19
“2/2 the CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in the US? How many people have been infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be the U.S. army that brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! The US owes us an explanation!”
Zhao also posted:
“Some #influenza deaths were actually infected with #COVID-19, Robert Redfield from the US #CDC admitted to the House of Representatives. The US reported 34 million cases of influenza and 20,000 deaths. Please tell us how many are related to COVID-19?”
