U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blincoln on the 11th (local time) insisted on China’s accountability, saying that China’s initial response to Corona 19 was unsuccessful and raised the situation. Minister Blincoln said in an interview on the (NBC) broadcast that “China itself knows that it didn’t do what it had to do in the early stages of the corona. I should have done it,” he said. “As a result of failing there, the virus quickly got out of control, and I think it had far worse results than it had been.” “We need to know enough about what happened to prevent this from happening again,” Blincoln said. “It’s important to dig up to the end.” He added, “It means strengthening and reforming the World Health Organization (WHO), showing that a stronger international health security system is needed to prevent or mitigate the future pandemic (the pandemic). . China should also play a role here.” Earlier, a team of experts from the World Health Organization visited Wuhan, China, where Corona 19 was first reported, and investigated it for four weeks. The expert team announced on the 30th of last month that it is very unlikely that the Corona 19 virus leaked from the laboratory, and that it is highly likely that the virus has spread from bats to humans via other animals. In response, 14 countries, including Korea and the United States, expressed concern that a team of experts from the World Health Organization was unable to access complete data from China. The US administration continues to emphasize China’s responsibility for Corona 19, although not as much as former President Donald Trump, who declared Corona 19 as a “Chinese virus” and declared withdrawal from the organization, saying that the World Health Organization was Chinese-biased. White House spokesman Jen Saki also said about how the coronavirus outbreak and spread in January, “it must be revealed.” In an interview, Secretary Blincoln warned China about Taiwan as well. “What we’ve seen and what we really worry about is the increasingly aggressive action of the Chinese government towards Taiwan,” he said. “It would be a serious mistake if anyone tried to change the situation by force in the region.” This year, tensions are rising in the region, with the US and China putting aircraft carriers and fighters into the Taiwan Strait, respectively. Secretary Blincoln kept a distance from the plan for the United States to abstain from the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February 2022. “It’s about a year left until the Olympics and we’re not focused on boycotts,” he said. “What we’re focusing on is listening closely to the concerns of our allies and allies,” he said. State Department spokesman Ned Price on the 6th replied, referring to China’s genocide against the Uighurs to the question,’Are you negotiating a joint boycott of the Beijing Olympics with the alliance?’ It gave rise to the interpretation that it opened up the possibility of a boycott. Accordingly, there was a hurricane internally, such as Suzanne Ryans, chairman of the US Olympic and Paralympic Games Committee (USOPC), protesting that “American athletes should not be used as political soothers”.
