China accused of not being transparent enough
Some medical experts have called on China to be more transparent about what really happened and show all details of COVID-19 samples in their labs. Last year, Ex-US President Donald Trump and his supporters had insisted that the Chinese government deliberately used the virus and some kind of weapon.
The then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that there was accurate' ' evidence to show that the virus emanated from a Chinese lab, although he didn't show any proof.
