Editor's note: Chen Xu, China's permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, has called for a "transparent investigation" into two laboratories in the United States as part of a study into the origins of the virus that causes COVID-19.
A senior Chinese diplomat said on Tuesday that the labs of Fort Detrick and University of North Carolina in the United States should be subject to "transparent investigation with full access" for the origins tracing of COVID-19.
Fort Detrick, where the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) is located, is the center of U.S. bio-military activities and notorious for its illegal, non-transparent and unsafe practices.
