#NBC Vindicates Wuhan Lab, China Aid Co-funder Suspects Reasons for Granted Access
NBC reported from Wuhan on Monday the latest updates on the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where many speculated was the origin of the coronavirus. The news agency emphasized that it was the very first foreign news agency to be granted access to the institute since the outbreak of the epidemic. The report quoted Wang Yanyi, Director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as saying that the institute was unfortunately targeted as a scapegoat for the origin of the virus.
Bob Fu, Co-founder of #ChinaAid in the US, questioned why NBC was granted access and pointed out that #MSNBC has not published other Chinese or Hong Kong news on the same day, including the arrest of prominent activists under the national security law and the police raid at Apple Daily’s headquarter.
Bob Fu’s Facebook page shows photos of him taken with Agnes Chow, who was arrested for alleged offences under the national security law, and Nathan Law, who is in exile in the UK, as well as photos of the arrest of Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital. Fu stated that the high profile arrest of pro-democracy leaders like Martin Lee, Chow, Lai, Lai’s two sons and four other Next Digital executives under the national security law signalled the death of Hong Kong’s freedom of press and rule of law.
