Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson joined the war of words on the origin of the COVID-19 Urging Pompeo to hire experts to investigate when the virus first appears in the US.

(29 Apr)The US government has publicly accused China of concealing the Wuhan Pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic a few times, while China has continuously responded to the US accusations through the diplomatic "war wolf." Earlier, Zhao, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson of China, claimed that the virus first appeared in the US and was brought to China by the US army. Recently, Hua, another spokesperson, repeatedly targeted Pompeo in her speech, urging US experts to look into when the deadly virus first appeared in the US, as US citizens have the right to know.

Since Wuhan Pneumonia started spreading in the United States, US Secretary Pompeo has criticized China for concealing the epidemic several times, be it in public speeches or during media interviews. Recently, he again called on China to be more transparent in the investigation of the origin of the virus.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Hua Chunying, has also targeted Pompeo in her recent speeches. In her tweet on Apr 27, Hua said Pompeo was accusing China of concealing the epidemic again in an interview with Fox and asked who is out there spreading false information. Hua also urged Pompeo to stop playing political tricks to save energy for saving lives.

Today, Hua retweeted Pompeo's tweet of requesting China to be more open and transparent in the investigation of the origin of the virus as US experts aren't allowed to investigate in China. Hua replied that "CPC is open, transparent & responsible in #COVID19 response. 2 US experts were in China on WHO-China joint mission in late Jan". Hua also countered Pompeo's query by stating that US experts should investigate when the virus first appeared in the US because Americans need to know and the world also has the right to know.
