When British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pointed out the culture of eating pangolins as the origin of Corona 19, the Chinese government was infuriated by saying that it was a’unfounded speculation’.
According to the British Sky News, Prime Minister Johnson said at the environmental summit held on the 11th, “Corona 19 originated from bats or pangolins,” and “it originated from people’s mad belief that eating pangolin scales makes them stronger.”
Although Prime Minister Johnson did not point to China directly, China is the largest demand for pangolins.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijen criticized “unfounded speculation or exaggerated debates are hindering international cooperation to uncover the origins of Corona 19.”
