After being questioned about the slowness in reacting to the coronavirus, Beijing declares that it is about the foreign origin of the coronavirus, pointing out that it could have been brought by the United States Army to Wuhan.
Zhao Lijian mentioned this theory on the well-known social network Twitter, posting a video of Robert Redfield, director of the American CDC, who indicates that people who died of influenza could actually die of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
