- The results of the WHO-China joint study are able to stand the test of time, said Zeng Yixin.
- WHO plan to focus on "lab leak" shows disrespect to common sense and arrogance to science, said Zeng Yixin.

Health Organization, for the plan has been compromised by political manipulation and disrespect of scientific facts, said Zeng Yixin.
