As expected, a reactionary shithole filled with apologism for neoliberalism and American Empire, and now with more sinophobia than ever before.

    China is probably shocked because it's been debunked multiple times over. I'd be shocked if a detective came to my house after I was acquitted.

      I don't think it's about being acquitted. The conclusion in the phase 1 study was that a leak was highly unlikely and recommended more focus should be placed on zoonotic origins. It's surprising because it seems that the phase 2 proposal, which you would expect to follow from and be based on the phase 1 study, instead went off track and asked for audits on labs.
