By David Brunnstrom, Tom Daly and Michael Martina WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) -U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed the need for cooperation and transparency over the origins of COVID-19 in a call with Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi on Friday and raised other contentious topics, including China s treatment of Uyghur Muslims, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Yang, China s top diplomat, expressed to Blinken Beijing s serious concern that some people in the United States were spreading the absurd story about the coronavirus escaping from a Wuhan laboratory, Chinese state media said. Yang, head of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission of China s ruling Communist Party, also told Blinken that Washington should handle Taiwan-related issues carefully and appropriately, state broadcaster CCTV reported. The call came ahead of a G7 summit in Britain attended by U.S. President Joe Biden that is expected to be dominated by Washington-led efforts to counter China s growing influence. The world s
