China failed to stop pandemic, engaged in coverup with WHO's help, GOP congressional report says

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs is set Monday to release an audit report on actions perpetrated by China and the World Health Organization at the beginning of the global coronavirus pandemic.

The report, written by Republican members of the Democrat-led committee, states that "beyond doubt" the Chinese Communist Party "actively engaged in a cover-up designed to obfuscate data, hide relevant public health information, and suppress doctors and journalists who attempted to warn the world," according to news accounts ahead of the release of the report.
