China is facing a new outbreak of COVID-19, and is blaming foreigners for an increasing number of infections detected among those entering the country.
According to one of Beijing’s leading experts handling the crisis, Professor Li Lanjuan, she is “very worried that imported cases could trigger another large-scale epidemic in our country,” reports the Daily Mail.
Her comment came after health officials reported the country’s first case of someone who is believed to have contracted the disease, known as COVID-19, from another person returning from abroad.

The 73-year-old Prof Li – who led the effort in Wuhan – told China News on Tuesday that controlling and preventing imported cases is an “arduous” task for medical workers, adding “This requires us to continue to intensify our efforts and work tirelessly to prevent the coronavirus pneumonia epidemic from spreading in other cities.”
Of note, Wuhan officials have been accused of lying and manipulating data so that it would appear that they have a handle on the situation, according to a local doctor.
Li also old the CCP-owned People’s Daily in Wuhan “The mission in Wuhan has not been accomplished, and there are still many critical patients. Furthermore, I think the current situation in our country is very tough,” she said, adding “Can we make every effort to guard our country and prevent another epidemic from happening? This is a tough challenge.”
She also demanded officials identify those who were struck down by the virus but have not been officially diagnosed. She warned that they could re-ignite the epidemic.
