A year after COVID-19 first broke out in Wuhan city, Chinese authorities claimed at a recent regular press briefing that China has been open and cooperative with the World Health Organization (WHO) in its handling of the CCP virus. However, some residents who spoke with The Epoch Times aren’t buying the regime’s claims.

At a press conference on Dec. 29, a reporter asked about the allegations regarding the Chinese regime’s initial attempts to cover up the outbreak. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, claimed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was “open, transparent, and timely” in its COVID-19 response.
