Newsweek revealed on May 12 a recent report from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
“The CIA believes China tried to prevent the World Health Organization from sounding the alarm on the coronavirus outbreak in January—a time when Beijing was stockpiling medical supplies from around the world,” the report said.
The report continued: “China threatened the WHO that the country would stop cooperating with the agency’s coronavirus investigation if the organization declared a global health emergency.” According to Newsweek, two U.S. intelligence officials confirmed the contents of the report titled “U.N.-China: WHO Mindful But Not Beholden to China.”
