State paper further attacked Pompeo and former White House strategist Steve Bannon, calling them a 'pair of lying clowns'. FMTNews China
China broadcaster CCTV has repeatedly slammed Mike Pompeo as the ‘common enemy of mankind’.
The theory has been heavily pushed by the Trump administration, which has been increasingly critical of China’s handling of the outbreak that first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. “These flawed and unreasonable remarks by American politicians make it clear to more and more people that no ‘evidence’ exists,” the commentary said.
Bannon last week said on a US far-right talk show that China had committed a “biological Chernobyl” against America and advocated the theory that the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, echoing recent White House rhetoric. Since then, the two superpowers have accused each other of spreading misinformation, as US President Donald Trump has also attacked China over its alleged lack of transparency.
