CHINA WON'T SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL COVID-19

PROBE WITHOUT THE 'RIGHT ATMOSPHERE,' UN

AMBASSADOR SAYS

"China's ambassador to the UN in Geneva has dismissed international requests to allow foreign experts into the country to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, suggesting such a move is not appropriate until after the virus has been defeated.

 

Ambassador Chen Xu said Wednesday that Beijing would not prioritize any foreign expert mission to probe the coronavirus outbreak while the pandemic continues.

 

"The top priority, for the time being, is to focus on the fight against the pandemic until we win the final victory," Chen told reporters during an online video briefing. "We need the right focus and allocation of our resources."

 

"It's not that we are allergic to any kind of investigations, inquiries or evaluations," Chen said, which he noted could help prepare the international community for future pandemics. "We need to race with time to save lives as much as we can," he explained.

 

The World Health Organization has said it is waiting for an invitation from Beijing to take part in a coronavirus investigation. Asked whether the WHO could expect such a proposal, Chen replied: "For whether or how the invitation will take place, we need to have the right priority setting at this moment, and on the other hand, we need the right atmosphere."

 

Newsweek has contacted the Chinese mission to the UN in Geneva to request further comment on the conditions under which China would allow an international investigation to take place."
