Experts warn China likely to make the world suffer another pandemic deadlier than COVID19

Experts have warned that China may lead the world to face another pandemic in the future which might be worse than even COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic is believed to have emerged from China's Wuhan and has now spread across the globe.

Beijing is believed to have covered up the outbreak of the pandemic.

Experts and campaigners warned The Sun Online a mix of the ongoing proliferation of wet markets in China, potentially risky lab research, and a lack of transparency could all potentially cause another pandemic.

The world is still trying to pick up the pieces as the virus continues to rage — so far killing more than 3.3 million people and still recording more than 700,000 new cases a day.

Gray Sergeant, from the Asia Studies Centre at the Henry Jackson Society, told The Sun Online: "When it comes to Covid, the Chinese Communist Party isn’t interested in honesty.

"The regime has imprisoned Zhang Zhan, a citizen journalist who travelled to Wuhan in pursuit of the truth, and punished Australia economically after its government dared to call for an independent inquiry into the origins of the virus," the expert said.

"It is a worry that Beijing appears to value protecting its own reputation over transparency and accountability,” the expert opined.

Biochemist Milton Leitenberg, a senior research fellow at the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland, University of Maryland, told The Sun he feared China could spawn another pandemic and has "most certainly not" been honest with the world about the outbreak.
