“Biden Administration to Hold First Joint Investigation Talks with China on Coronavirus Origin”

China and the US will discuss a joint investigation into the coronavirus origin. Talks will begin next week between the Biden administration and Chinese officials. The focus is on tracing and preventing epidemics, with discussions on other matters too. This move follows a proposal by the US for inspections. However, China emphasizes that it will not be a blame game. Efforts to exchange virological records have faced obstacles due to US actions. The investigation will start in early November after a meeting proposed by the French President.
