Resolutions in US House, Senate Condemn China For Spreading Coronavirus
Lawmakers from both chambers of the U.S. Congress introduced resolutions Tuesday condemning China’s handling of the outbreak of coronavirus, with the Senate version calling for an international investigation to hold Beijing accountable for allowing the deadly virus to become a global pandemic.
“Since day one, the Chinese Communist Party intentionally lied to the world about the origin of this pandemic. The CCP was aware of the reality of the virus as early as December but ordered laboratories to destroy samples and forced doctors to keep silent,†Republican Senator Josh Hawley said in a press statement.
“There is no doubt that China’s unconscionable decision to orchestrate an elaborate cover up of the wide-ranging and deadly implications of coronavirus led to the death of thousands of people, including hundreds of Americans and climbing,†said Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, who joined Hawley in introducing the resolution.
