China says it was "extremely unlikely" the virus came from a lab rather than a natural transmission.

The CIA said Saturday the virus was "more likely" leaked from a Chinese lab than transmitted by animals.

Beijing urges the U.S. to "stop politicizing and instrumentalizing the issue of origin-tracing".
