The Chinese embassy in the Philippines has demanded an explanation from the United States regarding alleged false propaganda against China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine. The call for transparency came on Monday, following a Reuters investigation that claimed the U.S. military had initiated a secretive program aimed at discrediting the Sinovac inoculation in the Philippines.
A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy insisted that the United States should rectify its 'erroneous practices' immediately. The spokesperson criticized the U.S., stating that using 'lies to confuse the world' and 'slandering and smearing other countries' must stop.
The Reuters report has heightened tensions, sparking urgent calls for the U.S. to clarify its actions and intentions.
