China is “open” to international cooperation to identify the source of the coronavirus, China’s foreign minister has said.
But any investigation must be “free of political interference”, Wang Yi said at a press conference, blasting what he called efforts by US politicians to “fabricate rumours” about the pathogen’s origins and “stigmatise China”.
He added that World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has done a good job and countries with decency will support the body.
