Abstract:

Based on open-sourced material in English and Chinese, this report documents the dense international links of Chinese civilian virology labs. We note that China and the United States and its allies have cooperated on high-risk viral research for decades. Indeed, the United States and its Canadian, European, Australian and Japanese allies have trained cohorts of Chinese scientists and students on virology research including risky Gain of Function (GoF) research for decades.
