The Chinese government has placed restrictions on research into the origins of Covid-19, CNN confirmed. The American television station bases its information on notices posted online by two Chinese universities, which have since been removed. However, the information was eventually confirmed by the Chinese government itself.
The television channel reports that “all academic work at Covid-19 will be subject to additional examination before being submitted for publication. Studies on the origin of the virus will receive an extra examination and must be approved by central government officials, according to posts now deleted “.
For some weeks now, the US government has accused China of not revealing the whole truth about this pandemic, which started in Chinese territory, Wuhan, last December 2019. With this new measure, the United States is attacking again the Xi Jinping government, stressing that this is yet another step by the “Chinese government to control the narrative about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic”
CNN contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China to comment on this case, eventually confirming the news. “It is not to be made public – it is an internal document,” said a Ministry source.
