 Pi, when Zhao Lijian, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, blames C19 on the US, I take that allegation seriously.

Edit: "Starting on March 12, 2020, Chinese Foreign Ministry official Zhao Lijian posted several tweets alleging that the coronavirus had in fact originated in the U.S. On March 13, he shared a link to conspiracy website that tied the virus’ apparition to the US Army biological defense laboratory at Fort Detrick in Maryland. Over the course of following months and as recently as December 2020, other officials, including Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying, and Chinese state media repeatedly returned to these baseless allegations."

Chinese diplomat promotes conspiracy theory that US military brought coronavirus to Wuhan

"A prominent Chinese official has promoted a conspiracy theory that the United States military could have brought the novel coronavirus to China – and it did not originate in the city of Wuhan, as thought.

Posting to his more than 300,000 followers on Twitter, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian republished a video of Robert Redfield, the director for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, addressing a US Congressional committee on March 11.

“CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!” the Foreign Ministry official said.
