China: political manipulation and slander from US
China criticized the “dark history” of U.S. intelligence after U.S. President Joe Biden ordered U.S. agencies to investigate the origins of Covid-19. Rejecting the need for such a new initiative, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that “the motives and purposes of the Biden administration are clear,” while “the dark history of the U.S. intelligence community has long been known to the world.”
