Beijing on Thursday denied asking U.S. diplomats to take anal swab tests for COVID-19. U.S. media outlet Vice earlier cited a State Department official as saying the test was given in error. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijan has refuted the claims, saying China has never required U.S. diplomats to take such tests.
