ISLAMABAD: The US lies about China’s Wuhan lab are motivated not by science but geopolitics, with a clear purpose to demonize China and the Chinese people, said a newspaper report.
The US lies have a clear motive to scapegoat the Chinese people for the Covid-19 pandemic, The Express Tribune quoted an article published by the World Socialist Web Site on Saturday as saying.
The article, titled “The Wuhan lab libel: The Washington Post teaches America to hate,” criticised The Washington Post‘s editorial, which revived the discredited claim that Covid-19 is a biologically engineered virus created in China by the world’s leading coronavirus researchers, the paper said.
Every single word and claim that was published by The Washington Post has been repeatedly disproven by scientists, international bodies and even the US government itself, the paper added.
Earlier this year, an inquiry into the Covid-19 origins conducted by the World Health Organisation declared the lab leak narrative was “highly unlikely” but The Washington Post deliberately ignored this conclusion, said the article.
What appears on the pages of The Washington Post is carefully reviewed and in coordination with US intelligence agencies, if not directly written by them, claimed the article, calling The Washington Post an organ of American imperialism.
