TAIPEI, Taiwan - For the World Health Organization, its fact-finding mission to China left many questions on the possible origins of the pandemic. In Beijing, however, the outcome was framed Wednesday as something solid: vindication and triumph.
The WHO s headline announcement - that it would rule out the possibility the virus accidentally leaked from a Wuhan lab - was hailed by Chinese officials and in state media as effectively silencing claims that China was hiding secrets and trying to deflect blame.
But some prominent public health experts in the West questioned whether China offered enough freedom for the WHO team to investigate fully Wuhan s piece of the global pandemic puzzle.
