China claims US report on coronavirus origins based on 'concocted lies and distorted facts'
Fox News
The Chinese government released a statement Tuesday slamming comments by U.S. congressmen that there is a preponderance of evidence showing the coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab.
"What the relevant US congressmen have done smears and slanders China in pursuit of political gains," the statement continued. "We express categorical opposition to and strong condemnation of such despicable acts that have no moral bottom line." One of the congressmen the Chinese government was referring to, Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, accused China of engaging in the "greatest coverup in human history."More Related News
