The unclassified version of a U.S. intelligence investigation into the origin in China of the novel coronavirus, which has swept the globe since late 2019 and killed nearly 4.5 million people worldwide, is expected in the next few days. The review, ordered by Biden in May, is not expected to yield firm answers on whether it started as a lab accident or occurred naturally in animal-to-human contact. A Chinese official said Wednesday, “If they want to baselessly accuse China, they better be prepared to accept the counterattack from China.” China was seen as hindering earlier international efforts to gather key information on the ground.
