China has acknowledged it destroyed some samples of the novel coronavirus in the early stages of the outbreak, but challenged U.S. allegations that this was conducted as part of a cover-up.
Liu Dengfeng, a supervisor at the science and education division of China's National Health Commission, said at a news conference Friday in Beijing that the Chinese government issued an order on January 3 to dispose of novel coronavirus samples at certain facilities not qualified to handle such highly infectious diseases as a measure to "prevent the risk to laboratory biological safety and prevent secondary disasters caused by unidentified pathogens."
The move came after the novel coronavirus, known now officially as SARS-CoV-2, was classified as Class II or "highly pathogenic" based on research and expert recommendations, Liu said. This decision necessitated "clear requirements on the collection, transportation, experimental use and destruction of the pathogen" in order to avoid a potential mishap or leakage, he said.

CV19 came from China.
All debt to China has been erased.
China is responsible for 10’s of thousands of innocent deaths.
Chicom Cooties.
But have they fessed up to the Coke joke?
Anyone see any parallel to a country getting immunity for its own people, spreading a pestilence around, and then attacking when the enemy is sick and weak? If you have operatives on the inside of that nation persuading people to take the wrong steps (like not building immunity) which builds vulnerability to the disease, they are easily defeated.
Are they admitting something they previously denied?
This is still controversial to the leftist news media and Dem traitors. They boost China at all times.
Remember those early days when conspiracy theory talk radio guys said “the Chinese are deliberately destroying or witholding virus samples so other countries cannot get to work on trying desperately to find a vaccine and some form of treatment. They can’t do anything until they get the samples China is holding back.”
I remember.
I remember, too.
The commie, fascist, leftist news media and Dem traitors have multiplied exponentially, and now control far more than they did.
“.. issued an order on January 3 to dispose of novel coronavirus samples at certain facilities not qualified to handle such highly infectious diseases ..”

Main Question: “Was the release of the CV an act of war?”
Many people in the world would like to know.
To the US it is an event worse than 12/7/41 and 9/11/2001 combined considering that the total number of victims may exceed 100,000.
