Chinese ambassador to SA Lin Songtian pushed back against suggestions his country should carry sole responsibility for the coronavirus.
Johannesburg - Chinese ambassador to South Africa Lin Songtian on Friday pushed back against suggestions that his country should carry sole responsibility for COVID-19, saying while the globally-spreading disease was first reported in its Wuhan city, there was no evidence it had originated there.
The Chinese ambassador said scientists from developed countries around the world were still battling to determine the source of the virus. " we have noticed that some people with a hidden agenda accuse China of being the origin of the novel coronavirus, or they smear China by saying the coronavirus made in China."
