The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) covered up details about the new coronavirus, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, warning that a similar situation could unfold “if we don’t get to the bottom of this.”
The virus began in Wuhan, China, in 2019, but details about its spread were suppressed by the CCP for weeks. The party later manipulated figures showing the number of infections and deaths, according to internal documents obtained by The Epoch Times.
