KUALA LUMPUR - A few countries have interfered with the international cooperation in the COVID-19 origin investigation, and even attempted to seek damages from China through suits, which, from the perspective of international law, are groundless, said an article published in Malaysia's English newspaper New Straits Times.
In the article, Loh Chang Woo, president of the Malaysia-China Legal Cooperation Society, and association member Professor Feng Gui pointed out that the attempts by a few countries to politicize the COVID-19 origin investigation set a dangerous precedent.
