BEIJING (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st March, 2023) China opposes any form of political manipulation under the pretext of finding the source of COVID-19, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Wednesday, commenting on the FBI's data on a lab origin of the coronavirus.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a Fox news interview earlier this week that the novel coronavirus most likely originated from a potential mishap at a lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
"The Chinese side categorically opposes any form of political manipulation under the pretext of searching for the source (of COVID-19). The involvement of the intelligence services in scientific matters itself is a politicization of this issue," Mao told reporters.
Conclusions based on falsified reports by US intelligence agencies have no credibility, the diplomat added.
