> US will keep discrediting China as long as there is no conclusive evidence of what exactly happened.

The US funded the lab and the specific fields of research. I have no idea how people can still be banging on about lab-leak origin being a racist plot against the Chinese. Covid probably leaked from US lab experiments in China. The rest of the world should be raging against the US and China both.

IIRC the US had given something like $250K to the organization that was funding the research at the lab.

$250k is nothing for something this size.

This specific grant given to EcoHealth Alliance by NIH was $3.7 million. There were also other grants of $7 million later.

Yeah, an accident in one of the most advanced scientific laboratories in the world is racist. It was a wet market. Try to keep up.
