Pompeo Reveal Researchers at Wuhan Institute of Virology Got Infected as Early as Fall 2019, urging WHO to Conduct Thorough Investigation.

The U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, issued a statement yesterday (January 15) saying the U.S. government has reason to believe that several researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) have developed the symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the fall of 2019. The U.S. government stressed that a pandemic could have been avoided and that any responsible country would have invited World Health Organization (WHO) experts within days of the outbreak, but China refused offer of help. "Until the CCP allows a full and thorough accounting of what happened in Wuhan, it is only a matter of time until China births another pandemic and inflicts it on the Chinese people, and the world," he stated.

Pompeo issued a statement saying that a WHO investigation team arrived in China this week to trace the source of the outbreak. The U.S. government took the opportunity to share new information about WIV in 2019 and called on the WHO to conduct a thorough investigation into origin of COVID-19. He said the U.S. government has reason to believe that several researchers from the institute have developed the same symptoms as COVID-19 in the fall of 2019.

The statement said the WIV had studied the bat virus strain RaTG13 as early as 2016, which was 96.2% similar to the COVID-19 virus identified by the Institute in January 2020. The U.S. government said the institute's work has lacked transparency since the outbreak and suspected it may have been involved in research that enhanced the virus' transmissibility and lethality.

Pompeo Lifts All Self-Imposed Restrictions Against US-Taiwan Relations

Michael Pompeo, Secretary of State of the US, said in a statement that for decades, the Department of State had created complex self-limiting measures in US-Taiwan relation to regulate the interactions between Taiwan and the US diplomats and government officials. He also said that this is a unilateral action, aiming to please the Beijing Government.

“Today, I am announcing to lift all of these self-imposed restrictions. The administration department should invalidate all contact guidelines with Taiwan issued by the Department of State.” According to the Taiwan Relations Act, the America Institute in Taiwan, a non-profit making organisation, should manage the relationship between the US administration department and Taiwan.

Pompeo added that Taiwan is one of the US government unofficial partners from the globe, describing that the democratic system of the US and Taiwan jointly supports personal freedom, the rule of law, respect for individual dignity and other values. He suggested that the statement is to confirm that US-Taiwan relations is non-essential, nor being tied up by the longstanding bureaucracy and self-imposed restrictions.
