China has made a stunning claim about the origin of Covid 19 in response to President Donald Trump.

Pointing the finger straight back, China has now claimed that it is actually the US who is to blame for the pandemic.

This is according to a white paper that was released on Wednesday (April 30) in which the State Council Information Office for China suggested that the virus might have originated in the US.

This appears to be in response to recent attacks from the Trump administration, who has furthered its claims that Covid 19 started at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

The lab was known to be conducting coronavirus related experiments at the time, which the US has said is the only explanation for how the outbreak occurred.

However, this has been disputed by Chinese officials, who said: “The US government, instead of facing squarely its failure in response to Covid-19 and reflecting on its shortcomings, has tried to shift the blame and divert people’s attention by shamelessly politicizing SARS-CoV-2 origins tracing.

“A thorough and in-depth investigation into the origins of the virus should be conducted in the United States. The United States should respond to the reasonable concern of the international community, and give a responsible answer to the world.”

The paper claimed that the virus could have started in the US, alleging that there were respiratory disease outbreaks between May and October 2019 that could have actually been Covid 19.

The paper continued: “Substantial evidence suggested the COVID-19 might have emerged in the United States earlier than its officially-claimed timeline, and earlier than the outbreak in China.”

It went on to say that the US shouldn’t continue to ‘pretend to be deaf and dumb’, saying that in January 2020 the US was ‘aware that an epidemic of a novel coronavirus was spreading quickly within its borders’.

However, the report argues that America chose to downplay the severity of the epidemic’.

China now claims that the US made it the ‘primary scapegoat for its own mismanaged Covid-19 response’, arguing that despite the escalating outbreak in 2020, it failed to be proactive in sharing information with the World Health Organization.

The report added: “The US should cease from shifting blame and evading responsibility, stop finding external excuses for its internal malaise, and genuinely reflect on and overhaul its public health policies.

“The US cannot continue to turn a deaf ear to the numerous questions over its conduct.”
