The World Health Organization (WHO)'s proposal, under the pressure of the United States, to conduct a second-phase COVID-19 origin tracing in China is politicized, said Ali El-Hefny, Egypt's former ambassador to China and former deputy foreign minister.
The push for a second probe targeting China "is aimed at what the US and the West were unable to do" in the first round of the WHO investigation, the veteran diplomat told Xinhua in a recent interview.
