China’s top diplomat, says it’s unclear whether coronavirus had first originated in the country, casting doubt on the views of health experts and foreign governments.

Speaking during a visit to Norway last week, State Councillor Wang Yi said that while China was the first country to report the existence of the virus to WHO that “does not mean that the virus originated in China”.
