Academic studies from Chinese researchers on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic are subject to strict vetting from the Chinese central government, according to a directive mistakenly released to the public on Friday. Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana said Monday the Chinese government’s directive violates the 2005 International Health Regulations, which he said “require transparent medical data sharing between & within countries.” A spokesman for Banks told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the tweet was referring to Articles 6 and 10 of the 2005 International Health Regulations, which require World Health Organization member nations to report the “source and type of risk” of any public health emergency of international concern happening within its territory in a timely manner.
