Chinese Embassy emails House Republican staff expressing ‘grave concern’ with COVID-19 origins hearing
The Chinese Embassy liaison to Congress wrote ‘we firmly oppose’ the hearing
An official with the Chinese Embassy in the United States emailed a staff member of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, expressing China’s “grave concern” with an upcoming hearing on the origins of COVID-19.
In an email sent on Friday at 2:15 a.m., Li Xiang, the Chinese Embassy’s liaison to Congress, emailed the staff member regarding the subcomittee’s hearing on April 18, which is titled “Investigating the Origins of COVID-19, Part 2: China and the Available Intelligence.”
“I am Counselor Li Xiang with the Chinese Embassy in the US. I am reaching out to express our grave concern regarding the COVID-19 Origins hearing to be chaired by Congressman Wenstrup on next Tuesday. According to the announcement, the hearing is to examine ‘China’s complicity in the COVID-19’ crisis and hold China accountable. We firmly oppose it,” Xiang wrote in the email.
A spokesperson for the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic told Fox News Digital that the Chinese Embassy’s attempt to silence the subcommittee’s work is “absurd.” —>READ MORE HERE
Chinese Censorship Is Quietly Rewriting the Covid-19 Story:
Early in 2020, on the same day that a frightening new illness officially got the name Covid-19, a team of scientists from the United States and China released critical data showing how quickly the virus was spreading, and who was dying.
The study was cited in health warnings around the world and appeared to be a model of international collaboration in a moment of crisis.
Within days, though, the researchers quietly withdrew the paper, which was replaced online by a message telling scientists not to cite it. A few observers took note of the peculiar move, but the whole episode quickly faded amid the frenzy of the coronavirus pandemic.
What is now clear is that the study was not removed because of faulty research. Instead, it was withdrawn at the direction of Chinese health officials amid a crackdown on science. That effort kicked up a cloud of dust around the dates of early Covid cases, like those reported in the study.
“It was so hard to get any information out of China,” said one of the authors, Ira Longini, of the University of Florida, who described the back story of the removal publicly for the first time in a recent interview. “There was so much covered up, and so much hidden.”
That the Chinese government muzzled scientists, hindered international investigations and censored online discussion of the pandemic is well documented. But Beijing’s stranglehold on information goes far deeper than even many pandemic researchers are aware of. Its censorship campaign has targeted international journals and scientific databases, shaking the foundations of shared scientific knowledge, a New York Times investigation found. —>READ MORE HERE
