China 'open' to Covid-19 investigation; says must be free of 'political interference'
BEIJING - Those throwing mud at the World Health Organization will only leave a stain on themselves, China's foreign minister said Sunday , adding that the country is open to an international investigation on the source of the coronavirus but in process"free of political interference".
United States President Donald Trump threatened last week to pull funding from the WHO, calling it an organisation that only serves China, allegations Beijing has furiously refuted. "At the same time, we believe that this should be professional, fair and constructive. Fairness means the process be free of political interference, respect the sovereignty of all countries, and oppose any presumption of guilt."
Most scientists believe the virus jumped from animals to humans, possibly from a market selling exotic animals for meat in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
