According to Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, the accusation that China created Covid-19 in a laboratory is a case of “the guilty party filing the suit first”.
US biolab transparency urged after smearing China over weaponizing COVID-19

It is the US that is conducting biological warfare and bioterrorism using genetic engineering technology, rather than China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Monday in response to a media report accusing China of weaponizing COVID-19.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry urged the US to be transparent on their biolabs and their ongoing bioweapons studies.
Quoting a so-called leaked document obtained by the US State Department, which is actually a book that is openly on sale, The Australian claimed China had been looking into whether it could weaponize the coronavirus five years before the COVID-19 pandemic, and even presented the document as evidence of China’s interest in bioweapons.
There are always some in the US who smear China either by hyping up facts or quoting so-called internal documents or reports, but it is usually a case of “the guilty party filing the suit first”, deliberate misinterpretation, presumption of guilt or merely spreading lies, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Monday at the press briefing.
…
The US has set up biolabs in 25 countries and regions across the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and former Soviet Union, with 16 in Ukraine alone. Some of the places where the labs are based have seen large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases and other dangerous infectious diseases, the ministry said, citing media reports.
The Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson demanded that the US address international concerns: Why is the US building so many biolabs around the globe? How much sensitive biological resources and information has the US obtained from other countries? What kind of activities has the US carried out in its Fort Detrick laboratory and other biolabs, and what’s the relationship between these biolabs and its “next generation bioweapons”?

China has a history of coverups, suppression and punishment for doctors who try to issue public health warnings.
In 2003, then Chinese President Hu Jintao admitted China had initially covered up the deadly SARS outbreak, and promised more transparency in the future.
In 2019 China broke that promise of transparency, by censoring, harassing and arresting doctors who tried to warn the world about Covid-19.
The obvious answer, to why the USA would want to maintain a global network of biolabs, is that the USA cannot trust the governments of countries like China to tell the truth, when they have a disease outbreak which threatens the safety of US citizens and allies.

MY My,how things have NOT changed.
Reminds me of the “Weapons of Mass Destruction” in Iraq’s possession.
Well we,the West,know he had them,because we sold them to him..Sadam that is.
So now we find out the our busy little bureaus where paying for “Enhanced Gain Studies” and experiments.carried out in Chinese labs..
So out sourcing again.
Designed in US and Canadian Universities,manufactured in low rent Chinese Laboratories..
Now this certain knowledge does explain the weird government behaviour toward the Wuhan Flu.
Throwing aside centuries of human learning and plague response,we shut down civic society and gave the bureaus full rein to their authoritarian tendencies..
Makes sense if they knew from the beginning that the “Dread Corona Virus” was their own product..
Imagine the terror inside the bureaus???
Through utter idiocy,you have opened Pandora’s Box.
Who imagined this kind of research was sane?
Who OKed the money?
And now the “wonder virus” has escaped..with all government “wisdom” computer modelling that it will kill us all.
A pandemic like never before.
So the real “Deadly virus” was never this Covid-19,it was that in the minds of our dear leaders who thought this kind of “research” a good idea.
So indeed I understand the terror of our Effete Elites in March 2020.
For mans natural reaction to Pestilence is fire.
The French sold Saddam his nuclear reactor for bomb work, and the Germans sold him the “pesticide” industrial plants that made his nerve gases. Not the US.
True. The US and NATO did sell him the artillery and mortar shells (empty) to deliver the agents – the ones found were relics of the Iran war and so corroded as to be useless.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying now joins former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahhaf (aka, “Baghdad Bob”)— see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ung95ORVUY —as being among the most laughable officials to have issued public statements to hide the truth.
How liable is the USA because Fausti funded the work when GOF got banned in the US? What is the “prime contractor’s” responsibility in this?
Lots of possibilities and lots of questions to be answered.
More billions proposed and more organizations lacking the power to investigate anything inside China…..
from Business Insider:
The report suggests “a fundamental transformation” to the system, its cochair Helen Clark, a former prime minister of New Zealand, said.
It proposes to:
“If we do not act to change it now, it will not protect us from the next pandemic threat, which could happen at any time,” Sirleaf said.
Union busting is starting to get expensive
The virus came from the lab in Wuhan Sure, that’s just my opinion, but if you believe the Chinese government you probably believe in the tooth fairy, too. they are actually completely unable to tell the truth, regardless of the story. If it’s good news they exaggerate it beyond belief and if it’s a lie, they cover it up mountains of lies and misinformation. Everything they say is false.
The wuhan lab was researching corona viruses and was working with intentionally mutated strains to increase how infective they were, and were researching cross-species infection. This is easily provable as there was a 2018 (iirc) paper published by people from there on exactly this topic.
Not easily provable. The paper is useful but not a smoking gun – it only proposes that the viruses could be weaponised, there is no data with it to suggest it was done. We need more – we need that smoking gun.
I didn’t claim that weaponization was easily provable, only that they were working on such viruses at that lab.
Here is a great article I found on the issue, looks very likely that it came, unintended, out of Chinese research sponsored by American interests.

Which country, or even which terrorist organization, will surreptitiously develop a microbial super killer? Soon, with technologies like CRISPR, these bugs should easily be developed and then spread to the ‘enemy’ geographies via a few infected hosts sent on plane trips to widespread cities. Vaccines will be readied for the ‘good guys’.
Some bad actors may send the first volley, maybe for no other reason than not to be attacked first. These attacks are ideal mass killers since there would be little physical destruction as in nuclear or traditional war. Combined with a thermonuclear spaced base attack on electrical grids via EMP, the target country would quickly be sent back to the dark ages (literally).
Hard to imagine that US, Russia, China and other bad actors do not know this, and that these weapons are not being developed, regardless of public denials.
Of course the US is, they just werent stupid enough to let it escape.
Virus is Chinese with American characteristics. And by American I mean Anthony Fauci.
The next major bioweapon virus release will be released at an airport near you.
The new variant jumped from pigs to birds to bats and then to diplomats.
Yes, the bioweapon is in all those empty shipping containers going back to China.
