Wilson Edwards was the name of an alleged Swiss biologist who was quoted by multiple Chinese news media in July 2021 condemning the United States over issues related to the investigations into the origin of COVID-19. The name went viral and prompted widespread discussion when the Swiss Embassy in China denied the existence of this individual, rejecting the news as fake. The Chinese media involved includes China News Service,[1] Global Times, Xinhua, People's Daily, Guancha.cn, CCTV News,[2] and CCP News Web,[3] which are all Chinese state-owned media.[4]
In addition to media, many institutions of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or the Chinese government, including the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, National Supervisory Commission[5] and Chinese Embassy in East Timor posted such news on their websites.
