Beijing: China on Monday termed as “outright lies” the media reports that its military scientists investigated weaponising coronaviruses five years before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and said it is an attempt by the US to smear the country.
The US State Department reportedly obtained the “bombshell” documents, which were written by Chinese military scientists and senior public health officials in 2015 as part of their own investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
According to media reports, which referred to the documents obtained by the US officials, scientists of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) allegedly investigated weaponising coronaviruses five years before the COVID-19 pandemic and may have predicted a World War III fought with biological weapons.
