China's ambassador to the U.S. is pushing back against people calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus." Cui Tiankai stressed that the World Health Organization says naming a new virus should never be linked to a particular location, group of people, or animal to avoid stigma. And he said he hopes the WHO's rule will be followed.
