Experts Press China on COVID Accountability
National security experts are pressing for accountability from the Chinese Communist Party over the COVID-19 pandemic after a Senate committee voted to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.
Polaris National Security said efforts to scrutinize Fauci should not end the broader inquiry into the pandemic’s origins and spread. The group argued that responsibility should also extend to Beijing, with its leaders facing questions over China’s role in the global crisis.
The article quotes Polaris chair Cale Brown and State Armor founder Michael Lucci, both of whom said the United States should not let attention on Fauci replace scrutiny of the Chinese Communist Party.
