OSLO - The Chinese government's top diplomat, State Councillor Wang Yi, said on Thursday it was unclear whether the coronavirus had first originated in China, casting doubt on the views of health experts and foreign governments.
"Actually, for the past months, we have seen reports... showing that the virus emerged in different parts of the world, and may have emerged earlier than in China," Wang told reporters, speaking through an interpreter. "Where did the virus first start and how it started... should be left to scientists and medical experts... It should not politicised or stigmatised," said Wang, in an apparent rebuke of US President Donald Trump, who has been criticised for describing the coronavirus as the"China virus".
