Global Times is the Chinese mouthpiece for hard-line nationalists and anti-Americans in the Chinese Communist Party.
The corona virus started in the city of Wuhan, China, so at first it was referred to as the Wuhan virus. The CCP is very sensitive about having China associated with the virus so they started this outrageous rumor that it was the product of a US Army lab, intended to embarrass the Chinese.
That line is now being repeated by Chinese officials and media around the world. It is total BS - Secretary of State Pompeo just called out the Chinese on this today.
