Lashing out at the World Health Organization (WHO), China on Friday called the WHO's second stage plan to probe into the origins of Covid-19 as "a product of political manipulation". On Thursday, China's National Health Commission rejected the WHO plan for a second phase of the investigation. And the lack of transparency in the drafting process also added to the suspicion that the work plan is the product of political manipulation." The spokesperson said that this work plan is inconsistent with the requirements of the resolution of the 73rd World Health Assembly (WHA). He also said this work plan is inconsistent with the conclusions and recommendations of the WHO-China joint mission report.
