   China backed calls for an independent investigation into the origins of
   the coronavirus outbreak, but only after the pandemic is under
   control,Chinese PresidentXi Jinping said Monday.

   Addressing a virtual meeting of the World Health Assembly, the
   governing body of the World Health Organization, Xi said China supports
   a "comprehensive evaluation" of the global response to the pandemic,
   after it "has been brought under control.

   A European Union-drafted resolution calling for a probe into both how
   the pandemic began as well as the responses to it is expected to gain
