The Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom has said that China is a victim of the COVID-19 outbreak, not a source of the problem, refuting unfounded conspiracy theories spread by certain western countries, especially the United States.

In the interview, Liu clarified several points of contention related to China on the topic of COVID-19 including the origin of the virus and various accusations of a cover-up.
