A US intelligence report requested by President Biden into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic is inconclusive, US media reports say.
Agencies are reportedly divided on whether the virus – first seen in China – was the result of a natural spillover from animals to humans or was caused by a laboratory accident.
An summary of the report is expected to be published in the coming days.
China’s foreign minister has dismissed the report as “anti-science”.
Wang Yi said Washington had “ignored and abandoned” research carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) for a report that would only service its “political purposes”.
