First gen Chinese, grew up in NA. Have contact with relatives "on the ground".

My own experience: Don't ever trust the Chinese government on issues that could potentially involve the reputation of the party. Note that I'm not saying don't trust what CCP says, ever (sometimes they actually do good things) - just not on issues that involve anything to do with how the world might perceive them.

Which is exactly what this issue is about.

That's not to say we have compelling evidence that this was a lab virus, either. I think, for me, it's a, "we don't know, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if it was a lab virus".

Well if people can't prove that Covid came from China, shouldn't they simply forget it and accept that it came from somewhere else? "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." And how dare them for even asking to see the data, those conspiracy theorists.

...Or has this logic changed since the election fraud controversy? (and no, it's not really a different situation if you think about it)
