Because a specific category of people want to blame either China or Russia for anything without any proof.

In this particular case there were reports that the virus was present in Spain and Italy before China. They seem to ignore that and keep screeching that CHina is to blame.

This is just blatant fake news. We all know the virus first appeared in Wuhan China and then spread to the world. Please state you source before saying such an obvious lie.

Did they redo the tests as requested by the Dutch (and other teams) as all the news only points to the original findings and then nothing. So maybe it was a false positive? Or contaminated sample?

The problem with this, if it were true, is that it will be very difficult to explain why there were not a lot of cases of misdiagnosed respiratory diseases in 2019 as we do know now that it is very contagious and what the symptoms are; they were not reported and definitely not on any scale.

We know it was in Wuhan well before January 2020 so that other sample from that month in Spain or other places would not be strange. A year earlier of course would be.

Reports by whom? I've seen nothing of those reports.
