WATCH: Chinese Ambassador Asked If Coronavirus Came From Biological Warfare Program
FEBRUARY 10TH, 2020
The Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, appeared to not deny that the coronavirus came from China’s biological warfare program on Sunday and instead suggested that the deadly virus could have come from a military lab in the U.S.
Tiankai made the remarks on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” in response to China’s struggle to stop the coronavirus from continuing to spread. It has now infected at least 37,198 and killed at least 811 in China.
“This week, Senator Tom Cotton, who sits on the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committee, suggested that the virus may have come from China’s biological warfare program,” CBS News’ Margaret Brennan said. “That’s an extraordinary charge. How do you respond to that?”
“I think it’s true that a lot is still unknown and our scientists, Chinese scientists, American scientists, scientists of other countries are doing their best to learn more about the virus, but it’s very harmful,” Cui responded. “It’s very dangerous to stir up suspicion, rumors and spread them among the people. For one thing, this will create panic. Another thing that it will fend up racial discrimination, xenophobia, all these things, that will really harm our joint efforts to combat the virus.”
“Of course, there are all kinds of speculation and rumors,” Cui continued. “There are people who are saying that these virus are coming from some — some military lab, not of China, maybe in the United States. How — how can we believe all these crazy things?”
“You think it’s crazy,” Brennan pressed. “Where did the virus come from?”
“Absolutely crazy,” responded.
“Where did the virus come from?” Brennan asked.
“We still don’t know yet,” Cui responded. “It’s probably according to some initial outcome of the research, probably coming from some animals. But we have to — to discover more about it.”
Republican National Committee (RNC) Rapid Response Director Steve Guest flagged the clip on Twitter, writing, “China’s ambassador to the United States just went on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation’ and DID NOT deny that coronavirus stemmed from the Chinese military’s biological warfare program. Amb. Cui Tiankai then suggested that the virus could come from a US military lab.”

2020-02-10
中國國家主席習近平與美國總統特朗普通話後兩天，中國駐美大使崔天凱9日接受美國哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）採訪時談及多個敏感問題，其中包括中國生化戰指控、李文亮醫生噤聲以及新疆「集中營」。

中國駐美國大使館官網2月10日刊登出駐美大使崔天凱9日接受美國哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）《面向全國》（Face The Nation）節目主持人瑪布倫南（Margaret Brennan）採訪的主要文字內容。崔天凱毫不避諱地談及多個敏感問題，其中包括美參議員針對新冠病毒可能來自中國生物戰計劃的指控，還有到底誰讓李文亮醫生噤聲，以及美國務卿蓬佩奧（Mike Pompeo）老生常談的新疆「集中營」等問題。
2月7日，中國國家主席習近平應約與美國總統特朗普（Donald Trump）通話。特朗普曾表示，美國全力支持中國抗擊新型冠狀病毒感染肺炎疫情，願派遣專家前往中國，並以其他各種方式向中方提供援助。
布倫南問道，美方多次提出希派疾控專家幫助中方，為何中方一直無視這些提議，中方是否不希望美疾控中心參與？
崔大使表示，「我不贊同「無視」這種說法。我們歡迎美國專家為中方抗擊疫情提供幫助，歡迎他們加入世界衛生組織正在組建的專家組，事實上很多美國專家已經被列入世衛組織推薦的專家名單。世衛組織作為全球最專業國際衛生機構的地位是受到普遍認可的，很多事情需要通過他們組織部署。我們正與世衛組織進行協調，相信美國專家很快就會去中國。與此同時，中美兩國疾控中心一直保持密切溝通，且已有美國專家以個人身份前往中國，一些美國公司也向中方提供了技術幫助。可以說，中美兩國在政府、疾控中心以及學術機構等層面都保持着聯繫。」
布倫南問及，對美參議院軍事委員會參議員科頓（Tom Cotton）有關病毒可能來自中國生物戰計劃的指控，中方有何回應。
崔大使表示，「這一指控真是瘋狂至極。對於病毒本身，我們還有很多認知空白，來自中國、美國和世界其他國家的科學家正盡最大努力了解這一新病毒。同時，捕風捉影、造謠傳謠是極其危險和有害的。這不但會引起恐慌，還會助長種族歧視和排外情緒，破壞我們抗擊疫情的共同努力。猜測和謠言當然會有，還有人說這些病毒是來自美方軍事實驗室而不是中國的， 類似的瘋狂言論我們怎麼能相信？至於病毒到底從何而來，我們仍在尋找，初步調查研究認為很有可能來源於某些動物，我們必須作進一步研究。」
當談及李文亮醫生時，崔大使表示，李醫生逝世令人悲痛，他是一位盡心盡職、盡力保護人民健康的好醫生，我們對他深懷感激。他作為一名醫生從具體個案中產生警覺，但政府決策要基於更可靠的證據和科學依據，需要考慮得更多。
