China risks isolation in quest for virus origin, Biden aide says
The Peninsula
China will risk international isolation if it fails to allow a "real” investigation on its territory into the origins of the virus that caused the Covid-19 pandemic, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said.
Sullivan’s comments follow last week’s call by Group of Seven leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden for another probe into how the virus originated. Biden last month ordered the U.S. intelligence community to "redouble” its efforts to determine where the coronavirus came from and to report back in 90 days. The goal is to present China with "a stark choice: Either they will allow, in a responsible way, investigators in to do the real work of figuring out where this came from, or they will face isolation in the international community,” Sullivan said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday.”More Related News
