0	3220	Hello, comrades. My name is He Weili.
4060	7940	I started learning Chinese in 1983 at Nankai University.
7940	11260	Nankai University is in the People's Republic of China.
11260	12620	Do you understand?
13620	17200	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Bill Hagerstead.
17200	21480	Many of you have heard me speak before at last year's DEFCON, Biohacking Village.
21480	25980	I introduced the Chinese military weapon, bioweapon systems program.
25980	28840	I think it's funny that here we are sitting in a pandemic.
28840	33160	Today, we're going to be talking about the very same group, the People's Liberation Army,
33160	37740	and their bioweapons laboratory mission regarding Operation COVID-19.
38160	41560	It's very important to understand this bottom line up front.
41640	47240	All of this research that I'm going to present today comes from within the People's Republic of China.
47520	51640	There is nothing that is regurgitated U.S. government hyperbole.
51640	54480	There is no hyperbole from the Western press.
54480	64300	All this Chinese view is factually based upon what the Chinese are viewing of their own dilemma in the face of the Wuhan pneumonia.
64540	75160	The Chinese military, of course, is testing new antiviral protocols on their own soldiers, not intending to use that on civilian subjects.
75900	82780	China is also very concerned more about the U.S. and its apparent lack of control in containing this pandemic.
82780	93020	They see a lot of the disparaging comments made by the leadership of the United States as some sort of significant lack of leadership on the global stage.
93240	103980	They also, from the Communist Party view, see this military loss of control of this bioweapons globally as a U.S. issue, not necessarily Chinese.
104080	111000	But in the shadow of this doubt, China cannot help but think of the military-to-military cooperation,
111000	118060	certainly knowing that the history goes back to the very founding of the Communist Party of China when the U.S. supported General Chiang Kai-shek
118060	122380	when Mao Zedong used Japanese insurgents to run him off to Taiwan.
123000	129160	And then last but not least, in the bluff portion, while the source of the pandemic is critically important in terms of containment,
129580	134320	really now more than ever, cooperation is something that the Chinese military is looking for.
134320	144320	Now, as we enter this combination of the binary world and the bioweapons world, I offer you a chance to look deep inside the Chinese view of this.
144320	156380	And really, this is a respectful, factual research regarding how the Chinese military bioweapons labs are contained, used, and otherwise operationalized within the People's Republic of China
156380	164460	and those potential implications for weaponizing viruses, perhaps from a Western view, such as what we are calling COVID-19.
164480	168660	This is ultimately Xi Jinping's test on the nation's stage.
168660	178820	So there is no one left unharmed here, and there is no disrespect intended towards any country, culture, or other part of society.
179020	184720	Now, this pandemic that we're facing is truly an international issue. There is no doubt about that.
184720	196200	The challenge, however, as you'll see at the end of this presentation, is who is cooperating with who to actually deal with this pandemic as a global issue rather than a singular national crisis.
196920	205580	Now, in the Chinese view, they call it Wuhan pneumonia. And they're asking themselves, is it a biological weapon? Is it not a biological weapon?
205620	212060	This critical question is one that is still talked about in the Chinese press on a regular basis.
212060	216200	Now, you might be asking yourself, why do we not hear about this in the Western press?
216320	221600	Well, it's quite simple. If you had heard about it, then it would be something that would be used against the Chinese.
221620	226160	It's interesting, not only from a military perspective, but a civilian economic perspective.
226240	232500	A lot of the news that they put out, while it may be contained and constrained according to the communist message machine,
232500	235980	it is still out there for consideration by the average Chinese citizen.
235980	242460	This lets you know that the Chinese are attempting to work through this rather than castigate it themselves or another country.
242460	251300	They will admit fault in this. And one of the most important pieces is the way that they regard the biosafety lab 4 in Wuhan in Hubei, China.
251300	258200	It's interesting because the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as you can see in the upper left-hand corner of your slide,
258200	261680	is not too far from what is known in the West as the wet market.
261680	269080	While there are many mysteries and gossip placed about what happened, monkeys, etc., etc.,
269080	275240	it's interesting that these are only perhaps 12 kilometers away, 20 minutes or so by car.
275280	280660	What's interesting, though, is that they, being the Chinese Communist Party, recognize that that biosafety lab in Wuhan
280660	285140	is actually that the coronavirus is where it originated.
285160	290940	Now, it's really curious because the outside world, that would be you and I and the rest that are not Chinese,
290940	297080	we believe that that lab, that BSL-4, is related to the Communist Party's secret biological weapons program.
297080	302820	You would be correct. What is interesting is, in the press, and you can see the URL down below,
302820	309940	this comes directly out of China, is that a lot of the virologists are indicating that this is indeed a man-made virus.
309940	317180	This is, if you will, the smoking gun. This is something that is very interesting that has not been admitted by the Chinese Communist Party.
317180	324860	But it's critical from a societal perspective, say these experts inside China, that the Communist Party admit that it was a mistake and move on.
324860	330760	And I'll give you some further facts that will demonstrate that this is indeed something that needs to be controlled.
330760	336660	Now, the Chinese view this as an accidental virus that escaped the lab. It was an experiment that failed.
336680	345860	In other words, they believe that indeed the Wuhan pneumonia, or COVID-19, was indeed a man-made virus that accidentally left the lab.
345860	354200	This is quite contrary to what we are hearing in the press, because you can imagine at the nation-state level, the Chinese are denying that it happened.
354200	359320	Yet here in the Chinese press, there are evidences that indeed it was man-made.
359740	365140	Now, if we get back to that South China seafood market in the city of Wuhan in Hebei province,
365140	371440	you'll notice that there is quite a bit of activity regarding this BSL-4 lab, Biosafety-4 lab.
371440	375300	Now, you may be asking yourself, what is a biosafety lab if you're not a biohacker?
375300	380340	Well, a biosafety lab, Category 4, we have one here at the University of Minnesota,
380340	390560	is the most stringently controlled, securitized testing facility for all manner of man-made viruses that could kill you in an instant.
390560	395360	It is critical. It's observed and monitored by many agencies in the U.S. government,
395360	401860	and the FBI field office here in Minneapolis maintains a tight control on who has access to that with the University of Minnesota.
401860	408480	So you can imagine that that same level of security scrutiny takes place in Wuhan in Hebei, China.
408480	413080	This is important to note because you may be asking yourself, well, what does a BSL-4 look like?
413080	421520	Well, indeed, here it is. If you're familiar with the HABA trail, you'll notice that there are bridges that are air-controlled dynamically,
421520	428720	allowing access and entrance into this biosafety lab. It is specifically contained away from the civilian areas.
428720	435460	You'll note the containment pond behind it, along with the physical separation, not only with the high security fences,
435460	442960	but the fact that the facility is very much tightly under not only local police, provincial police, but more importantly, the military's protection.
443700	450120	Now, you may be asking yourself, how does the military factor into this? Well, this is very important because, as you'll note,
450120	455580	and I'll introduce you to one of the generals of the Chinese military that took over this lab back in February,
456480	466080	the BSL-P4 in Wuhan actually was taken over by the military. And what is interesting is if there was no military connection,
466080	472740	why indeed did the military take over this BSL-4 lab? And that is one of the questions that they're asking inside China.
472740	479460	Essentially, if it were effectively a controlled experimental location at that BSL-4 lab P4 in Wuhan,
479460	483660	there would have been no need for the Chinese military to go in and take a step.
483660	489540	So let's introduce you to the nuclear biological chemical weapons cadre of the People's Liberation Army.
489680	496360	A note for the audience, I am indeed a visiting scholar at the PLA's number one think tank, the NOFAR Institute.
496360	503520	So many of these are coming directly from my partners and associates, fellow scholars inside the People's Republic of China.
503820	510240	You'll note by the URL, 81.cn down below, that that is a military website.
510240	517220	And if you go there, certainly using a VPN and perhaps a collapsible OS, you'll be able to view some of these same photos.
517220	522860	Now, what's interesting is that the Chinese military, in their entrance and deployment into Wuhan,
522860	529080	actually came across the Wuhan facility that was actually testing monkeys.
529260	531460	You can see the cages off to the right there.
531460	539800	This is also very near the essentially the Wuhan wet or seafood market and the BSL P4 laboratory.
539800	543580	The Chinese military discovered this as they were deploying and they're wondering,
544240	550160	certainly it's possible that something of this nature could have come out of a wet market.
550320	556580	But perhaps there is more compelling evidence that maybe it escaped from this animal laboratory testing facility.
556580	566920	Now, the P4 biochemical laboratory, as I mentioned, being separate, is also near this very other model animal research institute at Wuhan University.
566920	574440	What's interesting is this Wuhan University noted that the very earliest pneumonia cases were in November.
574440	580840	And record of a human interaction or infection of this was on December 1 of 2019.
581260	586260	Now, if you are following history, many of us were thinking, well, this will never come to the United States.
586260	592640	Unfortunately, the Chinese have been very reluctant to figure out where the source of this epidemic was,
592640	599160	given the lead time in terms of where their infectious experts were able to focus within the People's Republic of China.
599160	606820	But much of the research focuses specifically in Wuhan, as I mentioned, in Hebei province in northwest, excuse me, northeast China.
606960	613400	Now, as we get to the military, let's introduce you to a very important personage in this Chinese military website.
613400	617140	She is known as the Chinese military Ebola terminator.
617140	625580	She has quite the notable achievements in terms of controlling different types of diseases that have not only emanated,
625580	633020	but spread throughout China, including most notably the containment of Ebola, SARS, H1N1 and other viruses.
633020	636720	Her name specifically is Major General Chen Wei.
636720	640180	Now she works as part of the Chinese Engineering Academy.
640400	648880	And of course, according to the Chinese website, they have been noted that she has been playing quote unquote with drugs for over 30 years.
648940	652900	I mentioned her Ebola and SARS terminator nom de guerre,
652900	660600	but she's been the leading doctor from a military perspective in terms of fighting infectious diseases within the People's Republic of China.
660600	667380	Now on the 26th of January 2020, General Chen Wei brought in a team of military experts to Wuhan, China.
667380	670540	They realized that they were starting to have a outbreak.
670580	684800	And two days later, they discovered that there indeed was a detection kit that noted that there was coronavirus 2019 and COVID basically resident within the Wuhan VSL-P4.
684800	694140	Now what's interesting is this detection kit had been jointly developed to detect this type of military record of nuclear biological and chemical effects
696000	700960	with the Military Medical Research Institute of China. It's one of their state-owned enterprises, which is interesting.
700960	703540	This will play important towards the end of the presentation.
703540	713020	Now what's really very interesting about the approval of this is that it received emergency Communist Party approval by the National Medical Products Administration.
713020	717420	Typically, this does not happen very effectively unless there is a national emergency.
717660	723840	In this case, they received a registration certificate to use this within a military environment within two days.
724640	734000	Now, of course, with the deployment of the military, much like in any civilian nation state, certainly the U.S. being no exception, the Chinese take it very seriously.
734000	750620	And when Chen Wei deployed with her troops to Wuhan, she noticed that the potentiality for an enemy and adversary picking up bioweapons that were developing in Wuhan, perhaps during a wartime, was quite a serious event.
750620	761660	And certainly in peacetime, she noted that a large-scale epidemics such as Wuhan pneumonia, now known as COVID-19, could indeed bring disaster to an entire country and nation.
761660	774460	So basically, she started to create what's called a biological military shield, essentially protecting the rest of China while putting her troops and herself in jeopardy within the city of Wuhan as they went into lockdown.
774460	778900	Certainly, you've seen Hollywood play homage to these types of critical situations.
778900	788980	But here you have Chinese military leadership stepping up to the plate and realizing that they needed to affect some sort of positive change to the situation in China.
788980	794540	Now, Major General Chen Wei was the first military person, soldier.
795140	804120	And as a field grade, a general officer, she was the first one to take the injection of the practice or vaccine that was being developed.
804120	806180	It had not been tested on anyone.
806180	820100	But basically, she did what any good military leader and said, I will take the injection, and I will expect that my soldiers will follow me as we try to defeat this pneumonia that has emanated here in Wuhan and basically sacrifice ourselves for the country.
821320	823460	Quite remarkable if you think about it.
823460	827480	Now, as part of their training, certainly all the soldiers know that this day is going to come.
827660	836120	Yours truly having been in the Marine Corps for almost three decades, this is one of those instances where you don't want to be that body laying there on the deck with a gas mask.
836120	840900	Nor do you want to be the one carried because you're incapacitated by people in rubber suits.
841000	845560	Now, from a further military perspective, it's important that you understand this gentleman right here.
845560	854940	Senior Colonel Yang Chongjun, now granted his history and experience as a nuclear strategy, as part of military operations research.
854940	860620	He decided to theorize during this outbreak, who or why would someone want to look at this?
860620	870600	And he came up with some very serious anecdotes in terms of these weapons of mass extinction, weapons of mass destruction, as we call them here in the Western world.
871240	876200	And one of those features that he found very remarkably interesting is that they are low cost.
876200	881540	You could basically kill millions of people with a single drop of some particular viruses.
881540	890800	So he noticed and thought perhaps that this is very similar to what was happening during the Cold War, with much more devastating effect from a mass casualty perspective.
890820	894540	Now, he's not advocating, he's just curious as to why this is happening.
894760	905320	Because when you have a thermotoxin that could do such death by killing, you know, billions of people with a single drop, there's got to be something that must be done from the military perspective.
905320	910060	Certainly, the Chinese military has early warning types of systems as the one you see here.
910200	916240	But more importantly, he wondered what would be the effect on a foreign adversary's military.
916240	918500	And one of those was psychological shock.
918500	924940	I will tell you, if you've ever been to the gas chamber as part of US military training, it is done out of confidence.
924940	927760	Granted, it's annoying, it's frustrating, and it can be dangerous.
927760	933320	But until you have faced this, you can imagine that if you are a civilian and have never encountered this,
933320	938180	this would essentially disintegrate and kill your will to survive and live.
938180	942580	You might even equate that with what might be happening in certain parts of our country today.
943000	948520	Now, as part of that chemical warfare that the Chinese are wondering who would affect this on another country,
948520	950680	he also thought about the silent effect.
950680	956140	It is similar to cyber warfare in that it is the effect of winning without fighting,
956140	962440	meaning the spread of a thermotoxin can be deployed and spread rapidly in multiple areas of a civilian world
962440	969260	or incapacitate a military facility very quickly, essentially rendering the defense of a nation useless.
969260	972900	Now, Senior Colonel Yang Chongzheng is not advocating this.
972900	977080	He's just saying these are the effects that all militaries must deal with.
977420	982340	And of course, the military in China will deploy sensors on the ground and certainly in the air
982340	984380	to determine if an area has been infected.
986640	993280	One of the most remarkable things that he discovered is that the consequences of these types of bioweapons are fairly serious
993280	999200	because not only will it make those that would want to operate kinetic weapons systems inoperable,
999200	1004000	but it will also cause them to lose their ability to essentially live normal lives.
1004080	1007020	That is essentially indirect terrorism, if you think about it,
1007020	1011540	because if you cause fear in a population or in a military, they lose their will to fight.
1011540	1016220	So he knows that these consequences are serious and they should not be leveled against any adversary.
1016220	1020800	Again, he's trying to find a message to get out to the world that they are trying to work together.
1020980	1027440	Now, certainly cleansing systems, even in a nuclear world, but more importantly in a pandemic, requires cleansing.
1027440	1032740	And here you have the Chinese military basically soaking down a vehicle for further use.
1032900	1035360	But that does not mean that the virus has gone away.
1035360	1042420	Once one of these man-made pandemics occurs in the form of an epidemic,
1042420	1047820	it really starts to affect a large population of citizens within a country.
1047820	1055680	When you start to see the death rate approaching 200,000, 250,000, it is perhaps past the point of no return.
1055680	1061140	The Chinese do not want this on any other country. This is essentially what the senior colonel was talking about.
1061140	1066860	But if those symptoms are not treated and the leadership of a country does not recognize that he continues to theorize,
1066860	1070840	then it becomes simply a zero-sum game for that adversary.
1071580	1079160	Now, of course, testing the earth is interesting. You'll notice that these are foreign soldiers training with the People's Liberation Army.
1079160	1082660	They are not Chinese. They are working with foreigners.
1082660	1087000	Now, this will be a very curious theme as we get a few more slides in this presentation.
1087000	1094700	And certainly here you can see a couple of PLA nuclear biological chemical soldiers going to decontaminate an area.
1094700	1101700	Now, what's really interesting is with General Chen Wei's first use of that experimental coronavirus vaccine,
1101700	1108820	basically it started to indicate that that candidate for viral infection control was done by not only the PLA,
1108820	1112260	the People's Liberation Army, but also CanSino Biologics.
1112260	1116600	And it was added so that the viral trials would go on for one year.
1116600	1122280	Although there would be three clinical trials, they all indicated it could not be used on civilians.
1122560	1131340	My research indicates that perhaps a controlled civilian population may be the rest of Xinjiang population in western China.
1131960	1135620	Now, of course, as they go through this, they begin to test.
1135620	1142140	Chinese military is testing the virus, not only in terms of protecting the soldiers,
1142140	1149140	but also understanding that now you've got a civilian state-owned enterprise in China that is working with the PLA.
1149140	1155420	They've gone through first and second clinical trials of this new coronavirus anti-vaccine.
1155420	1163020	But what's interesting as they've determined that the Communist Party is approved for only for internal use in the military for a period of one year,
1163020	1171420	it's interesting that the stock price of CanSino has actually risen 284% due to the vaccine development they're doing.
1171420	1177840	You've heard me say this before. Here we have a communist country that has stock prices soaring during a pandemic.
1177840	1180860	This is rather curious and very, very interesting.
1181400	1187860	Now, of course, the Chinese military realized that they are indeed part of this biological test.
1187900	1193320	What's interesting, though, is General Chen Wei is cautiously optimistic,
1193320	1198780	basically saying that these experimental results should not be interpreted without abandon.
1198780	1202760	Basically, what she is saying is now that they've encoded that gene-prone team
1202760	1209420	and essentially attenuated it with a common cold virus to trigger an immune effect,
1209420	1212440	that does not mean that the end state has been reached.
1212440	1219940	What it means, though, is that there is at least a possibility of vaccine protection against the coronavirus infection.
1220040	1227660	So the Chinese military is sacrificing part of its force structure in order to defeat this virus within the People's Republic of China.
1228220	1232200	And, of course, they have various testing assays going on.
1232280	1238480	What's interesting about this is Phase I was not necessarily effective for the Chinese military.
1238680	1240860	There were side effects that were deadly.
1241060	1244920	Certainly, the military knows that when it signs up. The U.S. is no exception.
1245280	1252080	A number of Chinese soldiers, on the order of 6,000 or 7,000, lost their lives receiving this vaccine.
1252080	1257800	But what's interesting, though, is CanSino has stated now, just about a month ago, actually three weeks,
1257800	1261980	that they have developed protocols that allow the vaccine to be developed,
1261980	1268600	meaning that the Phase I, while sadly a little bit of a failure, Phase II is moving forward with some progress,
1268600	1274880	and certainly Phase III will go into effect as they start to inject more and more of the Chinese military population.
1274920	1279720	And, again, I mentioned that restive civilian population to the west of Beijing.
1279720	1284120	And, of course, the containment goes on from a military perspective.
1284120	1290540	But most importantly, it's interesting to understand, where is a lot of this study for further research coming out of?
1290540	1293440	And I must take you to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
1293440	1296620	It's part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is interesting,
1296620	1303400	because their mission is that, essentially, they will give full role of party consent and agreement
1303400	1307220	and do exactly what the Communist Party tells it to do,
1307220	1310600	meaning that they are fighting a fortress, as it says there,
1310600	1314620	finding gaps in the information world for implementation,
1314620	1318060	and making sure that the State Council, the Central Party Committee,
1318060	1323340	and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have the latest biosafety research possible.
1323340	1330580	Now, this comes from their annual message, which was released not too long after the pandemic started to take hold in China.
1330580	1334460	This is very interesting, because it plays into, why would they be doing this?
1334460	1341380	Well, essentially, if you follow your news, the Department of Justice in the United States indicted two hackers last week.
1341540	1348580	They were part of the Chinese Ministry of State Security out of Guangdong Province, down in the south by Hong Kong.
1348580	1354940	What's interesting is they allege and are charging Li Xiaoyu and Dong Jiazhi of hacking computers,
1354940	1360240	specifically those computers in countries that were working on a virus.
1360240	1363700	Now, my question for you is, if the Chinese have a vaccine,
1363700	1372860	why would they be sending cyber espionage agents across networks around the globe to try and find the antivirus protocols?
1373160	1378420	One must wonder if they perhaps are failing and they realize they need to find another way to find that technology,
1378420	1383160	or perhaps it's just another method of enhancing the research that they do have.
1384040	1393240	And of course, when the winning of that CanSino vaccine has been developed,
1393240	1396980	China will state that it is really taking the leadership position.
1396980	1402660	Now, this is important, not only from an economic perspective, but more importantly, from a state-owned enterprise.
1402720	1408700	The China Biotech Corporation that you see here is really part of the China National Pharmaceutical Group.
1408700	1414680	Why am I telling you this? Because this is a subsidiary of the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products,
1414880	1420920	a biological technology company based in Wuhan, which is the epicenter for the Wuhan pneumonia or coronaviruses.
1421120	1425720	Essentially, you have some interesting fingers pointing from a hacking perspective,
1425720	1431720	going against nation-state pharmacological and antiviral research,
1431720	1435600	and perhaps bringing it back to the very epicenter of the pandemic globally.
1435600	1437900	And the Chinese are quite worried about this.
1437900	1442200	You will not read about this in the Western press, but here you have it for your edification.
1442980	1450280	Now, what's important about this, the Chinese view the opportunity now on the world stage to work with countries in the Middle East,
1450280	1453220	which is not something they do from a military perspective,
1453220	1461360	but it's interesting because they are now entering into anti-coronavirus vaccine trials with the United Arab Emirates,
1461360	1463200	specifically in Abu Dhabi.
1463200	1467480	This is very interesting because the Crown Prince, in this particular case in UAE,
1467480	1472320	would not allow this type of joint disclosure unless indeed it had happened.
1472320	1481480	And the Chinese press has capitalized on this, basically stating that the UAE is working and supporting China's fight against the corona epidemic and antivirus.
1482320	1489700	So the Chinese believe that they are regaining the leadership position globally in the absence of any U.S. leadership.
1492120	1499460	This one brings us back around to where we are, biohacking village DEFCON 28 in the United States.
1499460	1504480	So here we have a fractured relationship between the United States and China.
1504480	1510440	And it's interesting because our Secretary of State, as the Chinese view it, continues to blame it.
1510440	1515780	And when the Chinese hear things such as the Kung flu or other racist types of remarks,
1515780	1520040	they can't but help but wonder, how can we possibly cooperate with the United States
1520040	1525940	if they are blaming us when we are trying to find a solution that will essentially work with the world?
1526140	1531180	What's interesting, though, is that across the Taiwanese Straits, that second state, Taiwan,
1531180	1534740	they are very interested in this dialogue.
1534860	1538920	They are actually stating that they are seeing the Communist Party of China, the CCP,
1538920	1546120	talking about actually making claims that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was the one that concocted this.
1546200	1551540	And that if you think back to the World Military Games a year ago in October of 2019,
1551540	1554940	the U.S. military sent a number of soldiers there.
1554940	1562960	They believe that they were actually biochemical agents taking bioweapons into Wuhan for the purposes of later deployment.
1562960	1568360	So you can imagine that it is a lot of finger pointing back and forth in terms of who done it and where to solve.
1569780	1574540	Now, last but not least, we have, of course, the Chinese wondering perhaps,
1574540	1578840	will this ever end? What is happening in the United States?
1578840	1581100	They used to be such great allies of us.
1581340	1585660	We wonder, from a Chinese perspective, what is happening in the United States?
1585660	1590900	And interestingly, they, being the Chinese, believe that there is no solid endgame here.
1590900	1593560	And this is not a political statement from my perspective.
1593560	1599800	It is simply a statement from the Chinese perspective that they are worried that the pandemic is starting to consume
1600480	1605840	what used to be the global leader of the United States out of sake of political gain
1605840	1609400	or perhaps re-election for the current president of the United States.
1609500	1614040	Now, conclusions. These are controversial across the board.
1614040	1618600	The Chinese and the U.S. agree that the Wuhan virus was not man-made.
1618860	1622900	However, Chinese researchers are not so certain of this.
1622900	1627220	And their commentary indicates that there is a military source included with this.
1627480	1632860	And, of course, the response from a Chinese military perspective to the epicenter of the Wuhan epidemic
1632860	1636080	in Wuhan is curiously compelling.
1636560	1642360	And, of course, number four, the consistent Chinese communist rhetoric blames the U.S. Department of Defense
1642360	1645080	and military for the outbreak of this virus.
1645480	1652100	Number five, the Chinese are cooperating with the Gulf Cooperation Council, excuse the bad pun,
1652100	1659060	specifically the United Arab Emirates, in a world where they normally would not allow this, they being the UAE.
1659300	1663540	The Chinese military, of course, under the leadership of Major General Chen Wei,
1663540	1669080	have subjected themselves as the antivirus test, noting that there will be no civilian use
1669080	1673340	except perhaps in Xinjiang and the rest of civilian population.
1674000	1678840	China is curious and actually concerned that redirecting the virus source towards them
1678840	1684000	is a narrative towards redirection and misdirection on the part of the U.S. elections,
1684000	1686480	given the current leadership in the United States.
1686700	1690040	And last but not least, if the U.S. cannot lead in this role,
1690380	1694900	China is optimistic that the global leadership role will be theirs for the taking,
1694900	1699420	and they feel that this is an important time for the Middle Kingdom to regain its historical position
1699420	1704240	as a leader in biomedical research and get rid of the Wuhan pneumonia.
1704480	1707280	That concludes my brief, ladies and gentlemen.
1707280	1709280	Thank you very much for attending.
1709280	1712660	I will be available for questions when this is rebroadcast.
1712760	1714640	Thank you. Goodbye.
