While the World Health Organization seems more than willing to accept claims from the Chinese government about the origins of the coronavirus outbreak at face value, it doesn’t sound as if the CCP is going to be open to other nations doing their own investigating:

Gee, for some reason China doesn’t sound too interested in the notion of transparency.
This is totally the behavior of a regime with nothing to hide. Our government needs to stand firmly with Australia (which, btw, is the only country to fight alongside the US in every single war since WWI) and demand answers. https://t.co/m2hbFXaVUi

These sorts of veiled threats will boomerang back on China. Much of the world is tired of the Chinese Communist Party's bullshit. https://t.co/NMvNPekEvm

That approach from China will probably work with the WHO, but maybe not everybody else.
