The Chinese Embassy (embassy) for Indonesia was furious with the statement of Israeli ex-intelligence officer, Dany Shoham, who accused the corona virus related to biological warfare (bio-walfare).

To the Washington Times, Shoham blamed the corona virus from a leak in one of the Virology Institute's laboratories in Wuhan, which was related to bilogi weapons.

"The author of the report and the so-called former intelligence expert did not show the facts and indifference to the disaster, only argued with his prejudices. Too bad," said the Head of Public Relations of the Chinese Embassy to Indonesia, Huang Hui, when contacted on Sunday (1/26).

Hui claims China has provided the best treatment for sufferers of this deadly virus. Hui believes China can overcome the plague.

"I personally feel very angry with the Washington Times report. Chinese people suffer from Coronavirus, the Chinese government [has] done their best to fight [the virus], with the support of many international friendly countries," said Hui.

Shom previously believed that Wuhan had two laboratories connected to the bio-warfare program. Two laboratories at the institute were accused of being linked to Beijing's secret biological weapons program.

"In principle, outgoing infiltration of the virus may occur, either as a leak or as an unwitting infection in the room, from someone who usually leaves the facility," Shom told The Washington Times.
"Certain laboratories at the [Virology Wuhan] institute may have been involved, in terms of research and development, in Chinese [biological weapons], at least collaterally, but not as China's main Bio-warfare facility," he continued.

The director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Gao Fu, said the corona virus was thought to originate from wild animals that were sold illegally at the Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan.

Fu said, at first, the virus spread from animals to humans. However, the virus has mutated and become adaptive to its host.

"Human-to-human transmission has occurred, and has undergone 'community transmission'. That is, it has gone through three stages," Fu said.

"We are still learning more about this virus. It seems that there are some common characteristics of the corona virus, but also show special characteristics," he added.

A total of 56 people in China died from this virus. More than 18 cities in China were isolated and nearly two thousand people from various countries were infected.
