China Blames Italy as the Birthplace of COVID-19 Pandemic

China is using a new study about the early, hidden spread of coronavirus in Italy to cast doubt on the firmly held assumption that China was the birthplace of the pandemic, according to reports.

Officials in Beijing are pushing a new study that suggests the contagion may have been spreading in Italy as early as September — three months before it was confirmed to be spreading in the long-assumed epicenter in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the Times of London noted.

China has also previously questioned Spain about the origins of the pandemic, as well as the US military, claiming it brought the virus to Wuhan in October last year during the Military World Games, the report said.

Chinese state media have now been strongly pushing the idea that the new study by the National Cancer Institute proves that the contagion likely started in Italy, not China.

“This once again shows that tracing the virus’s source is a complex scientific question that should be left to scientists,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said, according to the UK Times. “[It] is a developing process that can involve multiple countries.”

The World Health Organization has admitted it is possible that the virus “silently circulated elsewhere” before it was detected in Wuhan.

However, many scientists are skeptical of the Italian study’s findings — and others note it does not rule out the coronavirus originating in China.

“We know that China delayed announcing its outbreak so there is no telling when it started there, and China has very strong commercial links with northern Italy,” Giovanni Apolone of Milan’s National Cancer Institute told the UK Times.

    I can never forget what was the early testimony of Chinese whistleblowers who disappeared with “covid” according to the official statement. The Chinese propaganda system expects everyone around the world to accept their designated “truth” as their citizens must. No. Italy did not initiate this particular virus.

  2. Smoke and mirrors by “elite” Its designed to divert attention from the fundamental argument why the Covid was released. Covid was known to years. The patents by Rothschild, Gates and others are proof. The speeches, interviews etc. are documented facts. Just because the media run by perpetrators are rigorously suppressing them does not mean that they dont exist. Missing fight from plentiful opposition are another another proof that their agenda 2020 is no conspiracy but its actual statement generated by the perpetrators them self. Stupid people will let media explain to them what it means, rational people will use their own brains and see it for what it is. Nothing less than total slavery to the “elite”

    It was reported early last year that the Chinese had purchased, and operated, many of the Italian leather goods manufacturing companies some years prior. There were regularly scheduled direct flights between Wuhan and Italian cities.
    Such travel from China into Italy more likely indicates the virus was imported with the Chinese business operators AND EMPLOYEES than any unknown sources of infection and/or virus research ever happening in Italy.
    Liars lie.

    China blames everybody but China. This plague was created at the Wuhan Institute of Virology by the bioweapons scientists of the PLA – People’s Liberation Army. Their primary target was our western economies – especially America and the defeat of President Trump. They’ve blocked scientists from coming to Wuhan and investigating, meanwhile they encouraged Wuhan citizens to ‘travel the world’ but NO travel within China – to spread this Chinese plague. COVID-19 isn’t the only plague they’ve given the world. Don’t forget the annual Influenza plague that kills over 600,000 worldwide or the SARS epidemic in the early 2000’s and MERS which, in spite of its name, most likely came from China. Then there was Melamine, an industrial solvent, that the Chinese put in infant formula, pet food and fish food for the Aquaculture industry. Melamine mimics protein making it appear the infant formula and pet foods were high in protein. Nothing could be further from the truth – it was poison and people [and pets] died. No, China, YOU own this plague and you’ve blackmailed The WHO into supporting your position – to their ever lasting shame.

    The Chinese workers were sent to N. Italy to work on infrastructure as a contract between the Chinese and Italian governments. It is believed that since many Chinese workers were from the Wuhan region they may have brought the Chinese Flu to Italy. I wish the CCP, for once, would stand up and own their misdeeds.

    HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANYTHING SO STUPID – AND CHINA EXPECTS US TO BELIEVE THAT . THE CHINESE VIRUS DIDN’T EVEN SHOW UP THERE TILL AFTER THE USA WAS INFECTED. WHAT THEY ARE TRYING IS TOTAL BRAINWASHING ON THE CHINESE PART. AND I WILL ALWAYS CALL IT THE CHINESE VIRUS FROM WHERE IT CAME.!!! PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS.

    the chinese flu was created as a major weapon against trump and america-and a help to the candidate for president -joe biden -who the chinese understand will be a very easy mark-
    they already know all it takes to own him is money-so the chinese will rule america very shortly since pelosi and schiff and schumer are also easy to control-and after they take over
    we will see slavery again-the entire american people-and the chinese know how to build a wall-only it will be to keep people in-

  9. steve

    bad enough we are standing the chance of joe the camel sucking up to Iran-
    but likely the entire retenue of democrats getting taken in by the chicoms

  10. the world needs to completely boycott the lying chinese a complete embargo on china

  11. Remember the dude on the plane with virus vials? Did you forget he was from Wuhan?
    Sent to spread the virus to America.
    Fauci, Gates, Melinda, Obama and others have been involved for years.
    Now pushing their “safe instant vaccine” that does NOT TARGET covid-19, but helps the lungs. (So does Robitussin and antibiotics)
    They’re really scrambling now, trying to say the right things so you’ll get the vaccine.
    I’ve noticed Google removed articles about Fauci and Bill’s disasters in the past that resulted in many deaths and life disabilities.
    Thanks Google, good to know we can rely on
    NOBODY!

  12. Not much of a choice here for who to believe: China, Fauci or WHO, CDC, Biden, Media.
    Not a one. You ain’t touching me.

    This is idiotic. Anyone with brains knows the virus originated in China
    The big question is if it was send to the world by accident or on purpose
    It is a hell of a coincidence that China is the only country that benefited from the pandemic
    It is also a hell of a coincidence how it was used to get rid of Trump by convincing people he was responsible for it
    Also a hell of a coincidence that it was used to sell the vote by mail plan, one that made it a lot easier to commit fraud
    One day we may know for sure

    We all believe China.

    Everything they say is gospel.

    Just ask Joe Biden.
