The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the American FBI is "making up stories" about the origin of

the coronavirus

.

This is how Beijing reacted to the fact that the US intelligence community reported a possible leak of COVID-19 from a Chinese laboratory.

This was announced by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.

She emphasized that the WHO, in its report on the investigation into the origin of COVID, emphasized the improbability of the laboratory origin of the virus.

The official transferred the accusations to Washington.

"Currently, more and more clues from the international scientific community point to the origin of the virus from sources around the world. Many have raised questions and concerns about the US biological military bases at Fort Detrick and around the world. The US should work with the WHO to invite as soon as possible experts from around the world to the United States to study the origins and share the research results with the international community in a timely, open and transparent manner," Mao Ning said.

According to her, China strongly opposes any form of "political manipulation of the problem of determining the origin" of the coronavirus.

And she accused the US intelligence community of "making up stories."

Like, there is very little trust in his conclusions.

By the way, the director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, said: it is most likely that the coronavirus leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan.

On February 26, the US Department of Energy also called this incident the most likely cause of the pandemic in the world.

It will be recalled that 

the WHO stopped the second phase of the investigation into the origin of the coronavirus.

The reason for this decision is data collection problems in China.

It is emphasized that a long time has passed to collect the necessary data on the origin of COVID-19.

But at the same time, scientists have enough information to prevent possible outbreaks of the virus in the future.
