Whether SARS-CoV-2 accidentally leaked from the Wuhan lab or evolved naturally from an existing virus and spread from wild animals to humans at a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, there's no reason for China not to cooperate with the international community to understand how the virus came about. This discovery may help prevent pandemics in the future.
It is convenient for the West to take a 180-degree turn regarding China and the coronavirus pandemic's origins, from vindication to blame, now that tensions are mounting between Beijing and Washington. Evidence of a lab leak makes it clear that America is as responsible as the PRC for both the virus's creation and the subsequent cover-up of its origins.
