Virus-hit Wuhan has two laboratories linked to Chinese bio-warfare program - www.washingtontimes.com
Excerpts from article:
...The deadly animal virus epidemic spreading globally may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, according to an Israeli biological warfare expert.
...The State Department, in a report last year, said it suspects China has engaged in covert biological warfare work.
...In 1993, China declared a second facility, the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, as one of eight biological warfare research facilities covered by the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) which China joined in 1985.
...The annual State Department report on arms treaty compliance stated last year that China engaged in activities that could support biological warfare.
...“Information indicates that the People’s Republic of China engaged during the reporting period in biological activities with potential dual-use applications, which raises concerns regarding its compliance with the BWC,” the report said, adding that the United States suspects China failed to eliminate its biological warfare program as required by the treaty.
