China’s regime is trying to weaponize Ebola. The disease can have a 90 percent mortality rate.
The facility was run by Jiabei Zhu, a Chinese citizen who was a fugitive from Canadian justice. He was also a top official at one of China’s state-controlled companies that had links to the Chinese military.

The lab stored nearly a thousand transgenic mice, “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.”
The lab also contained thousands of samples of labeled, unlabeled, and encoded potential pathogens and a freezer labeled “Ebola.” The freezer held unlabeled sealed bags used to store high-risk biological materials.
Dr. Qiu, who had worked on a cure for Ebola, was also collaborating with China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the highest-level medical research institution of the People’s Liberation Army.
Ebola has a high kill rate but is not highly transmissible human to human. “In general, Ebola does not survive well outside hosts and does not support aerosol transmission,” Dr. Sean Lin, a former lab director of the viral disease branch of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, told Gatestone. “It is not easy to turn Ebola into a functional bioweapon.” Yet as he noted, China can make the disease highly contagious. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is, after all, the gain-of-function capital of the world.
Nipah, Lin points out, is “highly pathogenic.” “It is,” he says, “alarming that Chinese virology laboratories have collaborated with EcoHealth Alliance to collect Nipah infection samples in Malaysia and India.”
As well as in Canada. “Canada allowed Chinese scientists to handle and transfer to China some of the most deadly pathogens known to humankind,” Charles Burton, senior fellow of Sinopsis and former Canadian diplomat stationed in Beijing, told this author.
Ebola and Nipah, with some in-lab modifications, can therefore be China’s tools to exterminate the American people.
“The problem with the report of the Chi Haotian speech is that it cannot be verified,” Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center said to Gatestone. “When it was revealed in 2005, it seemed fantastical that China would unleash biological warfare against the United States to massacre its population and pave the way for a Communist Party invasion, occupation, and exploitation.”
Since that time, developments have given the report credibility. Among other things, SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen causing COVID-19, was almost certainly engineered in the Wuhan Institute, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping then deliberately spread this disease outside China once it had escaped from that lab. Therefore, “the Chi Haotian speech reads more like a real warning.” As Fisher points out, the Communist Party is apparently capable of unfathomable malevolence.
The items seized in the Reedley lab strongly suggest China’s regime is preparing to spread disease in America. “This kamikaze lab—unsecured, poorly contained, makeshift, containing a couple dozen pathogens near a population center—cannot be a one-off,” Weichert, also national security analyst for The National Interest, said. “It is, I believe, a part of a large Chinese military operation to spread disease throughout the American population.”
Think of this as Ebola for Americans only.
