China's hesitancy to join the UN project involving other Asian nations may compound the frustration of global researchers.
China's hesitancy to join the UN project involving other Asian nations may compound frustration by global researchers who have been pressing Beijing to share information about the origins of Covid-19, as they seek to prevent future pandemics due to zoonotic, or animal-to-human, disease transmission.
The official said discussions with China are still ongoing, but did not clarify with which state institution the UN project is holding talks. After a strain of coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019, many researchers suspected it spread in a live animal market there.
China's public security organs have handled more than 70,000 criminal cases involving wild animals from 2020-2022, confiscating 1.37 million wild animals in the process, state news agency Xinhua has reported.
