Biological warfare has become central to China's military strategy, it is very important that the world takes this opportunity to prepare for an even worse outbreak and understand until we find out the actual source of the coronavirus this must be treated as a biowarfare attack by China despite the cost to their own citizens.

The cultural sensitivity paradigm driving the fabricated construct of the racism cognitive hand grenade which enables the blindsiding of rationally derived bias-prejudice against dangerous antithesis biology/culture ideologies, which has the US providing resources for China to develop highly dangerous variants of viruses when it had been previously clearly stated by the Chinese elite biological warfare would be a part of their military's arsenal, must be openly challenged as albeit for the nicest of intentions with the hope we are more alike than different and those differences make us stronger it clearly is not as universal as the 'good' would have us believe. Bias-prejudice against Other groups until they have proven not to be an inherent threat to the security of a society is rational and developed by humans for a very good reason - the survival of them and theirs.

Apparently there are techniques which enable mutant varieties to be created, one of which is the following, but one has to test the variants to ascertain what effect they have, either with a captive group human/non-human or altruistic volunteers. In China's case enemies of the state would possibly be a first go to, or serendipity such as the sickness in Wuhan laboratory workers. China's reticence is an obvious indicator of a rogue State covering the bodies. And therefore must to be punished for releasing such a virus until it proves otherwise.

"Jacob and Monod used what is actually a very common approach to understanding the structure and function of proteins and the genes that control them. They performed what we call a mutant screen. They took E. coli and exposed them to a number of mutagenic agents, things like UV light or chemicals that induce mutations in DNA, because they were trying to create mutant phenotypes specifically that lacked some aspect of function related to the ability to metabolize lactose. The idea here is that, if you create a mutant that isn’t able to do a particular thing, then that mutation must somehow have
affected the gene that is responsible for producing the protein that causes
that thing to happen." Jacob and Monod 1950

Although from  a Western Democratic moral ethos cognition a difficult reality hypothesis, IF a country such as China were to develop or in the process of developing a biowarfare weapon to effectively eliminate the potential capacity of a biology/culture ideology to defend itself, particularly if they have a severe male to female imbalance, what would you expect to be one of the desirable traits of the resultant bioweapon?

Wuhan doctors say they were told to lie about severity of COVID-19 in secretly filmed videoFrank Chung, JANUARY 20, 20216:43PM

"A Chinese virologist has claimed she fled Hong Kong to expose the truth about a Beijing cover-up over the initial outbreak of COVID-19.

Li-Meng Yan, a scientist at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, feared she would be killed for speaking out in China and chose to escape to the United States, where she is hiding at an undisclosed location.

According to the researcher, the Chinese Communist Party and senior university staff suppressed evidence that coronavirus could be transmitted between humans as early as last December. Dr Yan, who grew up in mainland China, said she was among the first scientists asked to investigate a small number of cases in Wuhan.

She claimed the Chinese government refused to let overseas experts, including those from Hong Kong, conduct research in China.

On December 31 she turned to her contacts on the mainland for more information, including an expert at the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. One said that there were cases of “family clusters”, indicating human-to-human transmission, she claimed.

Dr Yan said when she reported to her boss, Leo Poon, an Oxford-educated supervisor at the university, he ignored the information.

The Hong Kong centre is used by the World Health Organisation as a reference laboratory and specialises in viruses. On January 9, it released a statement supporting Chinese claims that the virus “does not transmit readily among people”.

A few weeks later Wuhan was quarantined. One study by Chinese and British experts found that had the lockdown begun at the start of the year, the number of cases could have been cut by 95 per cent, according to the Daily Mail. In a statement, the Hong Kong centre said Dr Yan’s reported comments had “no scientific basis but resembles hearsay”.

Welcome to Chinese Communist Party Biological warfare, driven by a system of governance-oversight which determines nothing is sacred as there is no moral code underlying the Marxist barrel of the gun except fear and preservation at all levels. Even the 
Chinese Communist Party rehabilitation of Confucius will not save humanity, nor the Chinese people from themselves.

The defusing of bias-prejudice by the Western Marxist intellectual elite against groups of peoples, determining the individual adherent is not responsible for group outcomes, we are more alike than different, we are the same, the elites are the only ones culpable for whole of group outcomes, or worse Other are responsible for the terror, violence, crime deviance arising from groups, a rational argument of win-win rather than force will always carry the argument the day, 'lone wolf', based upon individualism argument, devoid of biology/culture ideology interdependent network conception can exist.

“relational sociology—indeed any sociology worth its salt—fundamentally challenges the purposive action basis of methodological individualism, which assumes that individuals act in order to achieve self-determined ends (Crossley 2011). This model assumes that ‘action is initiated only after meaningful goals have been set in the cognized world and then – in a separate act of will – the decision to pursue such goals has been taken’ (Joas 1996: 157). This firstly ignores that the bulk of our action is habitually enacted and intersubjectively produced in the flow of interactional practice in a way that cannot be preceded by goal-orientation (Dreyfus 2014; Taylor 1999; Heidegger 1962; Mead 1934; Schutz 1970). It also over-estimates the capacity for detached rationality, problematically obviating the role that the social plays in orienting the course of both our habitual and discursive action through the interactional moulding of our dispositions and subjectivities, which occurs in relation to social positioning and operations of power (Foucault 1998; Bourdieu 1984). This aspect of the critique of individualism is of particular significance for what follows because it correlates to some extent with the critique of why orientating morality in terms of the detached rationality of the disembedded subject, so common to how much of Enlightenment moral thought has proceeded, is problematic.” (Abbott 2020)
Abbott, O. (2020). The self, relational sociology, and morality in practice, Springer.

Claims, in the end, the pen is mightier than the sword, when before us lie the broken bodies of persons and states is a sickening indictment of the Western Arts and Education institutions and particularly the psychology-based intellectuals and institutions claiming they have a cure where there are none for Biology/Culture Ideology bias and prejudice. For it assumes resource availability without end and need are in the minds of humans capable of being differentiated from want, and worse hierarchy inherent in any social group- the power of, will not demand-assign itself more as it can and will. 

"US President Joe Biden has appeared to downplay China’s genocide of Uighur Muslims, saying “culturally there are different norms” in every country.
[...]
Mr Biden answered by relaying Mr Xi’s justification for the abuses, saying the Chinese President “gets it”.

“You know, Chinese leaders, if you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been, the time when China has been victimised by the outer world is when they haven’t been unified at home,” he said.

“So the central – it’s vastly overstated – the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China, and he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.”"
Joe Biden suggests China’s Uighur genocide is part of ‘different cultural norms’, news.com.au, Frank Chung, FEBRUARY 18, 2021

The worst aspect of Biden's view “culturally there are different norms” which exist does not then go on to note such norms can and are the antithesis of his own culture ideology and therefore must be opposed. As culture-ideology adherents are not restricted in our globalized world, in the main, to specific geographic locations the culture-ideology normative expectation of adherents still bookends behaviors wherever the adherent resides impinged by Other culture-ideology normative expectations only to the degree the Other culture-ideology normative expectations are enforced; prevented from being circumvented.

The argument Biden utilises 
“culturally there are different norms” 
is being used to excuse Other culture-ideologies behavior not only outside but within Western Democratic boundaries, based upon the false 'victimised' phobic paradigm, which determines violent behavior of adherents from non-Western-European based biology/culture ideologies are reactive rather than derived from the internal culture-ideologies inherent negative construct of Other, and any objection or counter-violence of equivalence or less as phobic, unjustified prejudice, even blasphemy inciting rather than being a rational reaction to systemic negative behavior even terror.

"Substantial alterations to the Wuhan Institute of Virology database on the evening of December 30, the day before the World Health Organisation was altered to the outbreak of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, are just another indication that the Chinese Communist Party is hiding something when it comes to the origins of COVID-19." 
DOCTORED BAT LAB DATA, Miranda Devine, The Daily Telegraph, 8-May-2020

"The CIA believes China tried to prevent the World Health Organization from sounding the alarm on the coronavirus outbreak in January—a time when Beijing was stockpiling medical supplies from around the world. A CIA report, the contents of which were confirmed to Newsweek by two U.S. intelligence officials, said China threatened the WHO that the country would stop cooperating with the agency's coronavirus investigation if the organization declared a global health emergency.


It was the second such report from a Western intelligence service and is likely to further inflame tensions between the United States and China over a pandemic that has killed 280,000 people worldwide—more than a quarter of them American.

The first report, a German intelligence assessment published by Der Spiegel last week, accused Chinese President Xi Jinping of personally applying pressure on WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on January 21.

The WHO dismissed the notion that Xi himself intervened, but declined to address specifically the question of whether Chinese officials made any effort to delay or change the announcement of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)."

"China destroyed the earliest samples of the novel coronavirus, a health official in Beijing acknowledged.

“Based on comprehensive research and expert opinion, we decided to temporarily manage the pathogen causing the pneumonia as Class II — highly pathogenic — and imposed biosafety requirements on sample collection, transport, and experimental activities, as well as destroying the samples,” the National Health Commission’s Liu Dengfeng told reporters.

That statement comes in the wake of demands from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has cited the unavailability of the virus samples to argue that the Chinese Communist Party is flouting international transparency regulations at the expense of global public health.

“China didn’t share all of the information it had,” Pompeo told reporters last month. "It censored those who tried to warn the world, it ordered a halt to testing of new samples, and it destroyed existing samples. The CCP still has not shared the virus sample from inside of China with the outside world, making it impossible to track the disease’s evolution.”
[...]
The virus samples were destroyed after a flurry of tests in late December that “all pointed to a dangerous SARS-like virus,” according to a report from an independent Chinese media outlet, Caixin Global.

“That was days before China notified the World Health Organization (WHO) on Dec. 31 about the emergence of an unidentified infectious disease, two weeks before it shared the virus’s genome sequence with the world, and crucially, more than three weeks before Chinese authorities confirmed publicly that the virus was spreading between people,” Caixin Global noted."

There is no such thing as a State actor or non-State actor there are only Biology/Culture Ideology systemic emergent altruist-actors whose beliefs, cognitions, behavior are a product of the many Biology/Culture Ideology development rationale system. The few are the many and the many the few. There is an answer for the solving of terrorism its the removal of the many+few Biology/Culture Ideology development rationale system. 

"Historically, only nation-states have had the capacity and resources to develop weapons of mass destruction (WMD) due to the significant capital, infrastructure, and intellectual capacity required to develop and maintain a WMD program. In recent years, however, this paradigm has been shifting, particularly for non-state actors."
Small Groups, Big Weapons: The Nexus of Emerging Technologies and Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism, Combating Terrorism Center, STEPHEN HUMMEL, F. JOHN BURPO, APRIL 02, 2020

Marx, Lenin,... Chinese Communist Party understands this truth, each Biology/Culture Ideology to survive requires the removal of anthesis Biology/Culture Ideologies, Biology/Culture Ideology determines we are not more alike than different and we, therefore, cannot all live in harmony. Any let live agreement is a pause to gather enough time, resources to finish the task. Certain Ideologies such as Marxism, Islam lead inexorably to Biology/Culture Ideologies with severely restricted behavioral, relationship, belief variance which informs relatively intolerant attitudes and behavior internally and externally, as Other's Ideology informs antithesis beliefs, political/social rationale systems challenging the veracity of the core assumptions(beliefs) behaviors leading to potential revolt, defection, as adherents tend to flow to the less draconian rationale which contains less pain-threat-violence (heat).

China as a communist rationale networked system has intentionally acted to cause great harm to Other, in a war they have never ceased waging since their conception. There are only ever dissimulating lulls of claims of intended mutual benefit and abused international agreements.  COVID-19 is a biowarfare attack camouflaged as a 'normal' pandemic. U
nder the auspices of the United Nations the World Health Organisation unquestioning head, established there by Chinese influence, has enabled this Chinese Communist party created biowarfare virus pandemic to spread. 

It may have been a mistaken release initially, despite the Chinese Communist Parties' direction to develop such weapons for exactly what is occurring now, but everything which the Chines communist Regime have and are doing subsequently has determined COVID-19 as an opportunity to wreak havoc against enemy Biology/Culture Ideologies at the terrible cost of their own citizens and the rest of the world. 

As the American Secretary of State has said this is not the first time Chinese Communist Regime has released a dangerous virus from their labs and tried to camouflage viruses existence, and threat until too late for Other to prevent viruses incursion into Others space, and also it is not the first time the Chinese Communist Regime has been willing to sacrifice their own citizens to the ravages of their own political-dogma ambitions be it internal or external. One must, therefore, not judge the capacity of another Biology/Culture Ideology propensity to inform evil, based upon your own Biology/Culture Ideologies belief system which would never countenance such behavior.

"A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intelligence report dated last week accuses China of intentionally downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to stock up on medical supplies, The Associated Press reported.

Chinese governmental leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the coronavirus from other countries in early January, according to the DHS report obtained by the AP.

The report details that China increased its imports and reduced its exports of medical supplies, adding there was a 95 percent probability the trade behavior was not within a normal range.

Analysis showed the country attempted to cover up the changes in trade by “denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data,” according to the AP.

China also refrained from telling the World Health Organization that the virus “was a contagion” for most of January to gather an increase of supplies like face masks, surgical gowns and gloves from overseas."

"The release of the guideline deals with chronic loopholes at laboratories, Yang Zhanqiu, a deputy director of the pathogen biology department at Wuhan University in Hubei Province, told the Global Times on Sunday.
"The mention of biosafety at labs by the ministry has nothing to do with some saying that the coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences," Yang said.
Laboratories in China have paid insufficient attention to biological disposal, Yang said.
[...]
All the evidence shows the virus similar to a bat coronavirus and Chinese experts say it most likely originated at the Wuhan Huanan seafood market. "

“The entire Intelligence Community has been consistently providing critical support to U.S. policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China. The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified."
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Office of the Director of National Intelligence today issued the following Intelligence Community (IC) statement:, ODNI News Release No. 11-20, April 30, 2020

If the consensus is, a high probability the developed coronavirus jumped species to form COVID-19, and an experiment carried out purposefully in a Chinese Lab utilised that species then COVID-19 is man-made, it has been genetically engineered.

The further claim because the Covid-19 virus is determined as natural and therefore it cannot be a biological weapon is a dangerous conclusion, for the very fact it is natural provides perfect starting cover for utilization of such a virus as a bioweapon of choice, as technology is currently available to able to determine the COVID-19 virus is "natural" and an obvious alteration of specific genetic code outside expectant change would result in severe retaliatory action.

"The novel coronavirus is not an ideal biological warfare agent, experts say, because its impact on the United States and adversaries alike cannot be controlled. But China refuses to help the world answer questions about its origin.

Fears of biological warfare linger, while experts say coronaviruses cannot be controlledby Abraham Mahshie, Washington Examiner, March 31, 2020

The fact is if the Chinese Communist Party data can be believed and even if not the psychological consequences internal and external determine control and as long as the military integrity is preserved the virus is being controlled. As well the attack objectives may not even be aimed at ultimate military supremacy initially at least, but be aimed at a strategy of progressive weakening of the enemy, for the Democratic States individual ethics are the antithesis of the Chinese Communist Party Regime social/political rational system-there is a war in progress until either one or the other as Lincoln rightly determined takes the whole social-political space.

My view is the Chinese Communist Party knew the potential harm this could do its adversaries and sought to protect itself whilst leaving the West vulnerable by restricting critical medical supplies, even having its agents in Western Countries supposedly citizens to those countries betraying their own countries trust sending critical supplies to China, such traitorous behavior must be legislated against.

It could be cages with/without test animals were sold to/obtained by the Wuhan animal market, or test animals dead or alive were obtained by the Wuhan animal markets from the virus lab in Wuhan with the COVID-19 virus. Or the virus lab in Wuhan used test animals which enabled the COVID-19 to be created, then the question is was it released on purpose and if not when the Chinese Communist party found out about the release did they seek to take advantage of the fact and prepare their own defenses whilst restricting others, by refuting the fact the virus was easily transmissible and abusing those intending to restrict access to their nations of potential COVID_19 carriers. if this is the case this is a biowarfare attack.

China must be made to pay by reversing the destructive trend of Chinese ownership of foreign assets, manufacturing, and demanding compensation. The Chinese communist regime cannot be trusted in fact is outright dangerous to Western Democracies.

Highly contagious phenomenon, poorly understood and unpredictable, an epidemiologist’s nightmare leading to dangerous medical conditions:

"Reporting on Friday in JAMA, the authors said their data suggested that rapid person-to-person spread of the virus had occurred among their cases. That was in part because of patients like the one admitted to the surgical department, whose symptoms misled doctors into suspecting other illnesses and failing to take precautions to prevent spread of the virus until it was too late.”

"coronavirus has proved contagious in the early days of infection when patients have few symptoms, making it hard to identify carriers as clusters spread."

Purposefully enabling spread into other biology/culture Ideology space:


"When Dr. Li posted his chat room warning on Dec. 30, the new coronavirus had not yet been identified. He said it resembled Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, an earlier coronavirus that ravaged China nearly two decades ago.

WUHAN, China —  He was the doctor who tried to sound a warning that a troubling cluster of viral infections in a Chinese province could grow out of control — and was then summoned for a middle-of-the-night reprimand over his candor.

On Friday, the doctor, Li Wenliang, died after contracting the very illness he had told medical school classmates about in an online chat room, the coronavirus. He joined the more than 600 other Chinese who have died in an outbreak that has now spread across the globe.

Dr. Li “had the misfortune to be infected during the fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, and all-out efforts to save him failed,” the Wuhan City Central Hospital said on Weibo, the Chinese social media service. “We express our deep regret and condolences.”

Even before his death, Dr. Li had become a hero to many Chinese after word of his treatment at the hands of the authorities emerged. In early January, he was called in by both medical officials and the police, and forced to sign a statement denouncing his warning as an unfounded and illegal rumor."

"In 2010’s War for Biological Dominance (制生权战), Guo Jiwei (继卫), a professor with the Third Military Medical University, emphasizes the impact of biology on future warfare.

In 2015, then-president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences He Fuchu (福初) argued that biotechnology will become the new “strategic commanding heights” of national defense, from biomaterials to “brain control” weapons. Maj. Gen. He has since become the vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences, which leads China’s military science enterprise.

Biology is among seven “new domains of warfare” discussed in a 2017 book by Zhang Shibo (仕波), a retired general and former president of the National Defense University, who concludes: “Modern biotechnology development is gradually showing strong signs characteristic of an offensive capability,” including the possibility that “specific ethnic genetic attacks” (特定种族基因攻) could be employed.

The 2017 edition of Science of Military Strategy (略学), a textbook published by the PLA’s National Defense University that is considered to be relatively authoritative, debuted a section about biology as a domain of military struggle, similarly mentioning the potential for new kinds of biological warfare to include “specific ethnic genetic attacks.”

"China was also an important ally of Tedros in the WHO’s DG election in 2017. Months before the election, Tedros was invited to speak at Peking University where he called for stronger cooperation between China and the Global South on health issues. China’s support for Tedros paid off immediately. The day after his electoral victory, Tedros confirmed to Chinese state-media that he and the WHO will continue to support the “One China” principle, which recognizes the government in Beijing as the legitimate Chinese government. Three years later, Tedros’ enduring support of China’s response to COVID-19 shows that their early support for him is still paying dividends.
[...]Dr. Tedros’ inaction stands in stark contrast to the WHO’s actions during the 2003 SARS outbreak in China. Then WHO DG Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland made history by declaring the WHO’s first travel advisory in 55 years which recommended against travel to and from the disease epicenter in southern China. Dr. Brundtland also criticized China for endangering global health by attempting to cover up the outbreak through its usual playbook of arresting whistleblowers and censoring media."

"There has been recrimination, too, aimed at the WHO. While they may not use Trump's harsh rhetoric, many expert observers feel the agency was at least far too credulous in believing Beijing's reassurances, which it then amplified uncritically to the wider world.

The most notorious example was a Jan. 14 tweet from the WHO that read, "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus."

Under particular scrutiny is the WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

He heaped praise on Beijing's coronavirus response even while there was evidence Chinese authorities had under-reported cases and attempted to silence those sounding the alarm.

Restrict access to critical medical supplies, thwart, hinder the development of virus countermeasures, required for containing the virus.
"'It could cost lives in this country'
As Australian supermarkets are stripped bare and frontline health workers struggle with a lack of vital equipment, pallet-loads of groceries and medical supplies are being shipped overseas.

When A Current Affair visited one Melbourne export warehouse today, a worker said products – including medications, long-life milk, baby formula and bathroom supplies – were destined for places like Hong Kong, Thailand and China."

"The United States and United Kingdom issued a new advisory Tuesday warning of ongoing cyberattacks against organizations involved in the coronavirus response, including health care bodies, pharmaceutical companies, academics, medical research organizations and local government.
These malicious actors "frequently target organizations in order to collect bulk personal information, intellectual property and intelligence that aligns with national priorities," according to the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
"The pandemic has likely raised additional requirements for APT actors to gather information related to COVID-19. For example, actors may seek to obtain intelligence on national and international healthcare policy or acquire sensitive data on COVID-19 related research," the advisory says.
APTs are generally hacking groups sponsored by foreign governments and Monday's alert suggests that supply chains may be especially vulnerable. "Actors view supply chains as a weak link that they can exploit to obtain access to better protected targets. CISA and NCSC have seen 'APT' actors scanning the external web sites of targeted companies looking for vulnerabilities in unpatched software," according to the advisory."

"A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intelligence report dated last week accuses China of intentionally downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to stock up on medical supplies, The Associated Press reported.

Chinese governmental leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the coronavirus from other countries in early January, according to the DHS report obtained by the AP.

The report details that China increased its imports and reduced its exports of medical supplies, adding there was a 95 percent probability the trade behavior was not within a normal range.

Analysis showed the country attempted to cover up the changes in trade by “denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data,” according to the AP.

China also refrained from telling the World Health Organization that the virus “was a contagion” for most of January to gather an increase of supplies like face masks, surgical gowns and gloves from overseas"

"The principal ministers of the Russian government, from Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on down, resigned Wednesday in a move designed to ease a constitutional overhaul recently proposed by President Vladimir Putin. The president accepted Medvedev's resignation and said he would appoint his longtime loyalist to the Russian Security Council.

"The commander of a US Navy ship has been removed from his position after he warned of a COVID-19 outbreak aboard the aircraft carrier.
Captain Brett Crozier, who commands the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier with a crew of nearly 5000, sent a letter to Navy leadership that detailed his concerns about the spread of the virus on the ship.

"We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die," Capt. Crozier said in the letter."

Although one empathises with the captain's concerns, the fact is Captain Brett Crozier's understanding of the reality of any Biology/Culture Ideology with diametrically opposed Biology/Culture Ideology rationale systems in the same political/social geographic space ignores a reality you are always at war, admitting a vulnerability of the very means of defending one's Biology/Culture Ideology is a dangerous and naive act. The captain and his supporters need to understand they have to suffer in silence not demanded of their fellow citizens in a Democracy that is their assigned script and role. We are always at war.

This virus from the very beginning had to be treated as an intentional biological attack emanating from Communist China at the very least by the military, as potential utilisation of such a bioweapon has been a directed research objective of Communist China, so even if it was not intentionally released Communist China would be looking for exactly the developing vulnerability of the US military before launching an attack, even in this case, determining the US military would have probably lost its focus in Other areas as well.

The captain deserved to be relieved of command for his complete misunderstanding of the fact he and his crew are always at war.

“The lessons here are:
…..
(c) That peace cannot be brought by appeasement; that it is far better in the long run to challenge at an early stage rather than allow an aggressor to go on from strength to strength until the inevitable war begins with the defender at a dangerous disadvantage.
If you make the deductions from your intelligence reports fit your preconceived notions about what the enemy is or ought to be doing, you are almost bound to be surprised.”

Training or worse, a country that can develop the means to effectively contain a viral outbreak in its own space, in the new dangerous world of #biowarfare, to disable-kill the enemy culture Ideology and preserve their infrastructure whilst dissimulating under a 'natural' event. =

We know from history and current events Communist China will do whatever it takes to retain and advance their power even at the terrible cost of its own citizens. And such a scenario of release of such a virus in their own space to deny culpability and deflect swift response is not as crazy as it appears from a Western Democratic perspective.

Silencing any internal realisation of the threat to its own citizens until it takes enough hold to spread into Others space. Yes, I have little faith in certain Biology/Culture Ideologies respect for their own or Other. Why?

Yes, I could be wrong now but clearly, China has shown its intent and 'unscrupulous' Communist Marx frame of mind to reveal its intention to utilise such horrific weapons to further its megalomaniac ambition.

#China refused to release the isolated #coronavirus, Australia had to do it-did not inform the world earlier preventing early preventative measures-has a biowarfare lab right were the coronavirus appeared Predicted Poss. biowarfare ploy. #WHO #CIA is it?

Is this another 'accident' perpetrated by a megalomaniac Culture Ideology?
"China’s People’s Liberation Army has been involved in scientific research, co-funded by the Australian government, into the origins of the coronavirus which has been published in esteemed medical journals.

In an explosive revelation, a study co-funded by the Australian Research Council and the Chinese government, and trumpeted by The University of Sydney as helping to solve the puzzle of how COVID-19 transferred from animals to humans, relied on a key laboratory in an institute in the People’s Liberation Army’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences to conduct its “genetic sequencing” and “virus isolation”.
The director of the microbiology institute, Professor Wu-Chan Cao, who is thanked in the paper’s acknowledgments for his “substantial contribution”, has the rank of colonel and is a Wuhan Institute of Virology board member in a clear conflict of interest.


One of the study’s co-authors, Yi-Gang Tong, began working in the same PLA-run microbiology institute in 2005.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is at the centre of a global probe into whether the naturally-occurring coronavirus was accidentally released from its laboratory or came from a local wet market, which scientists believe is the most likely scenario.

This study is one of two scientific papers on the coronavirus undertaken by University of Sydney virologist and evolutionary biologist, Professor Edward Holmes in conjunction with researchers in China, who received funding from the Chinese government.

Professor Holmes is highly regarded in his field and the only western scientist that was part of the consortium of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre and School of Public Health who first uploaded the genetic sequence of the coronavirus on January 11.

ARMY FACILITIES
Professor Holmes has used this research to call for a ban on wet markets and the trade in wildlife.

The study titled “Identifying SARS-CoV-2 related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins” was completed and submitted by February 7, 2020 and it was peer-reviewed and published in Nature online on March 26.

“Although bats are likely reservoir hosts for SARS-CoV-2, the identity of any intermediate host that might have facilitated transfer to humans is unknown,” the study states in its summary.

“Here we report the identification of SARS-CoV-2 relate coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins seized in anti-smuggling operations in southern China.”

The Daily Telegraph can reveal that the “sequencing” and “virus isolation” on which the study relied was done by laboratories run by the PLA in China.

In fine print at the very end of the paper in the acknowledgments section, it states: “We thank Prof. Wu-Chun Cao, Dr. Na Jia, Dr. Ya-Wei Zhang, Dr. Jia-Fu Jiang, Dr. Bao-Gui Jiang, and their team in State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity, Beijing Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, Beijing for their substantial contributions to this study, including co-ordinating among research parties, conducting virus isolation, qPCR and sequencing.”

The State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity is part of the Beijing Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, which sits under the Academy of Military Medical Sciences.


The Academy of Military Sciences is the highest-level research institute of the People’s Liberation Army.

RANKING RESEARCHER
The director of the Beijing Institute is Professor Wu-Chan Cao, who also received the top acknowledgment in the research paper for his “substantial contributions to this study” including “co-ordinating among research parties”.

In his official biography he is pictured in his military uniform and it states he has the “rank of colonel”.

“Now the director of the Institute of Microbiology and epidemiology, Military Medical Science Academy of the PLA, director of the State Key Laboratory of pathogen and Biosecurity,” it states.

Colonel Cao also sits on the board for the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Scientific Advisory Committee of Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases, according to its website.

A University of Sydney spokeswoman said Professor Holmes’ work was “academically independent” and that he had not received any research or personal funding from the Chinese Government or Chinese companies or institutions.


“Where he has undertaken research with scientists from China his work has been funded by the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council and the University of Sydney,” she said.

“We strongly defend the right of our researchers to collaborate with scientists around the world in line with all relevant Australian laws and government guidelines.

“Prof Holmes has no link with the Academy of Military Science. Their involvement with the research was declared in the acknowledgments, as is standard practice.

“Dr Cao co-ordinated the laboratory work before Prof Holmes’ involvement. He did not direct or supervise the work of Prof Holmes which was undertaken independently.”

The University of Sydney website states: “Professor Holmes, a co-author, is the only non-China based academic on the paper.”

Another co-authored paper by Professor Holmes, published in Cell, provides commentary on samples taken from the Wuhan wet market and states “not all of the early (COVID-19) were market associated, it is possible that the emergence story is more complicated than first suspected”.


This was cited in a press release by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Commonwealth in Australia that criticised media coverage “playing up the so-called wet market in China”.

WORRYING LINKS
Charles Sturt University Professor of Public Ethics Clive Hamilton supported the calls for an oversight agency by Morrison government MPs.

While there was no doubting the honesty and professionalism of Australian researchers, legitimate questions should be asked as to the involvement of the Chinese military.

“It’s clear that the universities are not properly overseeing the kinds of collaborations that their scientists are undertaking because there are many instances of sensitive research in Australian universities being done in collaboration with Chinese scientists with links to China’s military or who are likely passing valuable information on to China’s companies or intelligence ­services,” he said.

“Universities have been very reluctant to admit there is a problem and have consistently hidden behind the Defence Trade Controls Act which prohibits the export of sensitive technology but does not prohibit Chinese military scientists working on sensitive projects in Australian laboratories.”


The Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s analysis of Chinese institutions has designated the Academy of Military Science very high risk as the PLA’s premier institution for military science. It is ­responsible for leading and co-ordinating military science for the whole military."

Only a full disclosure of what has been going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where research has been carried out into the spread of the coronavirus from animals to humans, will satisfactorily resolve these concerns."

"The world’s most trafficked mammal may be involved in the Wuhan outbreak, but the evidence is far from clear.
[...]
The virus was found in people associated with the market, and in the market environment — on surfaces, for instance, or in cages. However, some of the early cases, including what might have been the first reported case, were in people who were not associated with the market. Jon Epstein, vice president for science and outreach at EcoHealth Alliance in New York, said this means the first jump from animals to humans may not have occurred in the marketplace. People may have contracted the disease from animals at another location or earlier, as yet unknown cases may have contracted the disease at the market and passed it on to other people."

“It’s very helpful to know what the genome looks like and what the proteins look like,” says Rachel Roper, a biologist at East Carolina University who was part of the team that first analyzed and sequenced the SARS coronavirus genome in 2003 and did not participate in this study. “It gives us some idea about what protein differences may be that are allowing this virus to be so virulent and transmissible in humans.”

"We’re all wondering where this virus came from, and we can see from the new sequence and the sequences that we’ve already had for coronaviruses that it’s likely to be a recombinant of a number of different coronaviruses that are known.

Threatening enemies with the military, economic consequences of challenging the narrative of a 'normal', non-subterfuge, release of the bioweapon.

As I told media yesterday, spread outside appears to be slow now, but could accelerate. Containment remains our objective, but all countries must use the window of opportunity created by the containment strategy to prepare for the virus’s possible arrival.
There’ve been some concerning instances of onward spread from people with no travel history to 🇨🇳. The detection of a small number of cases may indicate more widespread transmission in other countries; in short, we may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Peter Hartcher’s opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald provides a well-reasoned argument why we must for the preservation of a way of life which maximises the possibility of Australians citizens determining our own futures, rather than a Chinese Communist  rationale system subjecting us to their demented, self-serving worldview which determines we must accept without question the Chinese Communist right to unleash a pandemic on the world, then have to pay them for the means of protecting ourselves from it, and praise the Chinese Communist regime for their dangerous behaviour, and if we do not the Chinese communist regime will force us into poverty.

The money or our sovereignty: China leaves us no choice, Peter Hartcher Political and international editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, May 1, 2020

This is an insightful reflection, at its core is an understanding, not all Biology/Culture Ideologies rationale systems inform the same inherent risk to the security of Other Culture Ideologies. The reason being, although we may believe we are free-willed independent individuals, we all reside within specific Biology/Culture Ideology behavioural-belief-relationships defined variance whose political-social-economic goals-rationale systems, such as the Chinese Communist regime, can and do inform the endgame conversion, subjugation, elimination of Other.

Believing we are more alike in our human aspirations than different and therefore we can if we try hard enough, we can achieve universal mutual understanding and security in the face of an antithesis ethical-value culture ideology differences and political-social goals is dangerous delusion.

At the same time, we must discriminate between adherents of antithesis Biology/Culture Ideologies such as the Chinese Communist Regime and those with the same biology Chinese origin with a differing culture ideology worldview. In other words, boycotting Australian Chinese Restaurants and showing bias against Australian Chinese derived peoples without evidence of them reflecting a view supportive of the coercive ideological views of the Chinese Communist regime is unwarranted and counter to Democratic values.

China must be held to account for the pandemic, as they failed to stop it at its source, it has been clear for some time the Chinese have been actively investigating the utilisation of biological weapons against humanity, the wet markets the Chinese claim was the origin of the pandemic, have been identified as a major potential source of pandemics and they did not act to shut them down, apart from the silencing of Doctors raising the alarm, wasting precious times and lives determines the Chinese Communist regime criminally negligent, and therefore culpable for the deaths of thousands and potentially millions and Chinese Communist regime must be made to pay for their dangerous behaviour.
