"Origins tracing terrorism"?? China apparently sees any attempt to understand where SARS-COV-2 comes from as "terrorism" (sic). This is either stupidity -not something one normally expects from China-, rank incompetence, gross dereliction of duty, or an avowal of responsibility.

Your choice. Note: China is emulating the Russian use of multiple & mutually incompatible narratives when things go wrong: 1) it can't be a lab leak; 2) it came from a lab leak (Ft Detrick,Busan); 3) origin was natural transmission from bats; 4) virus didn't come from an animal;
...5) origin is of great importance hence need to bring US, Italy, foreign frozen food etc to account); 6) any attempt to find origin is terrorism. 7) CCP guidance has conquered the virus and democratic regimes have failed; 8) Delta is a huge threat leading to new restrictions;
9) China is incredibly good at upstream and downstream tracing of cases (ie @globaltimesnews on the recent outbreak of Delta in Nanjing); 10) China still doesn't have a clue on the spread of SARS-COV-2 emergence in Wuhan, the world capital of virology. So it goes...
Questions. Does this approach mean that China's leadership doesn't give a fig for what others may make of CCP's conduct? Or does the CCP fear the political consequences of exposure of its responsibility in this biological Chernobyl?/.
