Chines­e offici­al says it might be the US army who brough­t the epidem­ic to WuhanBEIJING: A Chinese official has suggested that the US army may have brought the deadly coronavirus into China, without providing any evidence to support his eyebrow-raising claim. But in recent days, Chinese officials and a prominent health expert have claimed that the virus may have originated elsewhere while Beijing has angrily hit back at US officials for calling the disease the “Wuhan virus”. US owe us an explanation!”Zhao doubled-down on Friday, tweeting an article that he said showed “further evidence that the virus originated in the US”. US officials have angered China by linking the virus with the country, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling it the “Wuhan virus”. Robert O’Brien, the US national security adviser, insisted on Wednesday that the birthplace of the virus was China.
