Global Times: The Wall Street Journal published an article signed by Mike Pompeo and Miles Yu, which again hypes up the conspiracy theory of "leakage of virus from Wuhan Institute of Virology," and claims the world must hold China accountable. However, we find many rumors cited in that article, and some of them have already been proven false. What's your comment?
Wang Wenbin: Pompeo's claim of "Wuhan Institute of Virology's making or leakage of virus" has been publicly denied by almost all top-notch scientists and disease control experts worldwide. The WHO-led expert panel on origin-tracing said on multiple occasions that the virus was "highly unlikely" leaked from a lab.
Pompeo, with his credibility hitting rock bottom, already became a byword for lying. After leaving office, Pompeo and his like are still seeking to get selfish gains and hijack China-U.S. relations by taking an anti-China stance. Their attempts are doomed to fail.
