China wants answers – the who, what, and why – regarding the bombshell revelations that the United States has been funding biological research laboratories in Ukraine, and using them to develop biological weapons.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Zhao Lijian said during a news conference in Beijing, that China wants all information on U.S backed “bio military activities” in Ukraine, something that Russians are now demanding to know too.
“According to the data released by the U.S. itself, the U.S. has 26 biological laboratories and other related facilities in Ukraine which has indeed attracted great attention,” said Zhao. “All dangerous pathogens in Ukraine must be stored in these labs and all research activities are led by the U.S. side. Without U.S. approval, no information shall be released to the public.”
“[The U.S.] should give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification,” he said.
The U.S has a total of 336 biological research facilities, spread across 30 countries. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova, had previously stated that Russia was aware that Ukrainian forces were trying to cover up evidence.
“According to reports, a large quantity of dangerous viruses are stored in these facilities,” said Zhao. “Russia has found during its military operations that the U.S. uses these facilities to conduct bio-military plans,” adding that China wants “relevant sides to ensure the safety of these labs.”
“The U.S., in particular, as the party that knows the labs the best, should disclose specific information as soon as possible, including which viruses are stored and what research has been conducted,” added Zhao.
The White House has repeatedly denied claims of biological laboratories, and Press Secretary Jen Psaki called Russia and China’s claims “preposterous.”
“Now that Russia has made these false claims, and China has seemingly endorsed this propaganda, we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them,” said Psaki. “It’s a clear pattern, and no one should fall for it.”
“It’s exactly the kind of disinformation operation we’ve seen repeatedly from the Russians over the years in Ukraine and in other countries around the world, which have been debunked conclusively, and an example of the types of false pretexts we have been warning the Russians would invent,” continued Psaki. “The United States is in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention and does not develop or possess such weapons anywhere.”
Press Secretary for the Pentagon, John Kirby, called the claims “malarkey” and “classic Russian propaganda,” and “We are not developing biological or chemical weapons inside Ukraine, it’s just not happening.”
Despite Kirby and Psaki insisting it’s “Russian propaganda,” Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland, admitted to the biological research facilities existence in Ukraine, funded by the United States during a Senate hearing. Proving that both the White House and the Pentagon are lying about the U.S involvement.
During the Senate hearing, Nuland said:
“Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.”
Ratified in 1975, the United Nations’ Biological Weapons Convention, prohibits countries from developing biological weapons and bans them from being involved in the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons.
Existence of these facilities needs to be verified by the accused and threatened nations. Open the doors to experts from the four involved nations and prove it. If Putin lied, supply the Migs from Poland and write a stern letter to Xi. If it’s true, The U.S. Congress should reverse such dangerous facilities across the world and demand that other nations do the same. People everywhere have had enough of these games.
