Chinese top diplomat in the UK Chen Wen told BBC that such requests were "politically motivated" and that fulfilling them would divert "not only the attention but also the resources" of China from fighting the pandemic.
"It's a politically motivated initiative. I don't think anyone can agree to that. It would do no good to anyone," Chen said.
Almost from the start of the pandemic, there have been calls for international investigators to be allowed into China to find out how it all started.
Information about the origin of Covid-19 and how it initially spread could help countries tackle the disease, BBC reports.
The virus is thought to have emerged at a wildlife market in the city of Wuhan late last year.
Meanwhile an EU report accuses China and especially Russia of spreading disinformation about the crisis.
US President Donald Trump has also repeatedly attacked China for its handling of the outbreak, and the state of Missouri is suing the Chinese government, accusing it of doing little to stop the spread of the virus.
Scientists generally reject speculation that the virus could have been engineered in a Wuhan laboratory.
Just waffling and other US ass kissers......
There is no evidence that the virus is Chinas fault. I have listened to, read and viewed many theories.
Each theory has some truth and a lot of assumptions.
America will of course blame China. However I ask in what way will China truly benefit from the virus?
The Chinese economy is suffering the same as all others. That is a fact. As I suspected this pandemic will be a political weapon used by America and her poodles.
Why dont some of you simpletons be open minded, follow the money trail. Investigate Bill Gates and other massive investors in the vaccines. They have invested billions in the past few years. Why??? Did they know something?
My final point is this....
China has been doing well over the past 10/15 years. Why would they collapse the worlds economy??
But the US economy was heading downhill. So, who has the bigger motive to nosedive and rip it all up and start again with a clean slate????

China is a pathetic country. They should be put on the same list as ISIS for killing people by spreading deadly viruses. They both are terrorists and live to cause others harm.
Over 200,000 people are killed by this virus in a matter of months and China is responsible for all these deaths.

To the dimwits posting all these anti Chinese comments let me suggest that China allows this inspection but the US also permits the prosecution of the US for the Spanish flu. Yes ladies and gents the Spanish Flu started in the State of Texas USA not Spain as the name suggests.

If China is not guilty of negligence then China should not oppose a internet team from performing a full and thorough investigation into how the pandemic originated!
If China is guilty of negligence and is trying to cover up the pandemics origins, then yes China should oppose a international investigation into the matter!
It’s that simple!

Nothing screams more guilty than blocking an investigation. The world doesn't even have to do an investigation anymore, we will just announce that China is guilty and they will be held responsible for thousands of death and the economic turmoil. Blocking an investigation = admitting you are guilty.

No doubt if an investigation was done fairly and properly China would have no objections, but knowing how the US of Piss and Wind operates there is no surprise why Beijing refused.
It would be weapons of mass destruction all over again.

China owes the World an explanation. They will pay a big price for this, people will boycott them and their products. It is better for them to cooperate with the World. I will never eat or buy any of their products if I can help it until they come clean with this.
