Paper discussing biological warfare of ‘great interest’ to Chinese military: Intelligence chair | Sky News Australia: Liberal Senator James Paterson has revealed he holds concerns about China’s lack of transparency amid revelations researchers discussed the use of biological weapons five years before COVID-19 struck. Mr Paterson – who chairs the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security - said he was “concerned” that Chinese military researchers had discussed biological warfare in the document. “What this paper shows is it is of a great deal of interest to the highest levels of the People’s Liberation Army,” he said. “What we would ask of them, as we’d ask of any government in the world, is to be transparent and open about that.” Mr Paterson said as China was a signatory to major international agreements banning the research of biological weapons, he was concerned whether the interest in the paper had “gone further”. “China like many other countries has entered into obligations not to conduct research of this nature for all these reasons outlined in your introduction,” he said. “They are highly dangerous weapons that could do massive harm to our societies and no one wants to see them released. “The interest they have is noteworthy and what we’d be concerned about is whether

"It is an extraordinary acknowledgement; it is incomprehensible for a public health official, charged with protecting public health to take this position, but that's what he has done," she said. "These emails show that in the very early stages of the pandemic - in early 2020 - he became concerned that the finding for gain-of-function research in the US had flown to Wuhan. "And we see there's a flurry of emails where he's trying to find out whether he could be responsible or whether the NIH could be responsible for funding the research that might have created the virus that has leaked." Ms Markson said it was "a real possibility" American funding under Anthony Fauci "funded a virus that might have leaked that has resulted in this global pandemic".
