Fox News
A Chinese embassy official in Washington, D.C., wrote to Sen. Josh Hawley's office on Wednesday to express "grave concern" about his COVID origins bill.
"I am reaching out to express our grave concern regarding the 'Covid-19 Origin Act of 2023' (S.619), which falsely claimed that the Covid-19 corona virus originated from Wuhan Institute of Virology, accuses China of blocking international investigations, refusing to share information and lacking transparency etc. and required the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information relating to the origin of COVID–19. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns this," the letter said. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
It was written by an official in the Chinese Embassy of Washington, D.C., and addressed to Hawley’s chief of staff.
