China has been making it harder for the world to solve the mystery around the origins of the Wuhan virus.
At a time when the WHO team is conducting an investigation in Wuhan, China has escalated its misinformation campaign. First, China floated new theories about the transmission of the virus. Beijing has been driving efforts to promote the claim that the virus spreads through the cold chain.
Several experts have raised doubts over these claims, however, reports say China has tried to convince the World Health Organisation(WHO) to acknowledge the theory.
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal story said the WHO has been caught between China and the western powers as the world health body had allegedly shared the draft of its new advice claiming the virus can spread through the cold chain and trigger an outbreak in countries that have managed to contain the virus.
The United States, European Union and several other governments have disputed China's claims on the cold chains. The US, EU and several other governments have meanwhile disputed Beijing’s assessment of the evidence, as have many experts outside China.
