This is from a ny times article today. Hope this becomes the official Chinese line on this.
Also from the article:
"Officials and state media have promoted a rap song by a patriotic Chinese hip-hop group that touted the same claim, with the lyrics: “How many plots came out of your labs? How many dead bodies hanging a tag?”
Based.
Been reading a book about the Frank Olson affair which goes into a history of Edgewood Arsenal and Ft Deitrick (Olson worked at both). Let's just say the US loves some bioweapons
The Chinese can at least point to an 80 year history in the US of bioweapons testing, the suspicious shut down of ft Deitrick in late 2019, and substantial pentagon funding of the ecohealth alliance which worked out of the Wuhan lab. Just sayin
Oh yeah, also the fact that the anthrax used in the post 9/11 anthrax attacks was traced back to a US lab. Hmmm
I don't actually bother reading satirical publications for the jokes any longer, I get all my (depressing) chuckles on that from just regular discourse these days. I know that's a tired trope, but...
Fun fact: to do biological defense, you need to develop vaccines for likely new pathogens. Which just so happens to mean that you need to develop those pathogens first.
Lol we have had repeated "Incident" reports in town from thew fort over the past three decades; like one every few years. Plus there is a massive cancer corridor adjacent to the base, last I head litigation is still ongoing for medical compensation.
Someone tell Iran they should switch to making nuclear defenceheads, can't sanction that.
Fort Detrick was completely shut down in August 2019
There was a pneumonia-like outbreak in July 2019, which tested negative by the CDC for common pathogens. Fairfax county, right where Fort Belvoir is located.There's been an endless string of mystery pneumonias in the US from June 2019-December 2019.

/u/TankieTanuki knows a lot about it too
This is the story from July 2019
This is an actual comment on that story
When a conspiracy theory started circulating in the US suggesting that the coronavirus had escaped from from a Chinese lab, it largely stayed on the fringe. But now the ruling Democratic party has propelled the idea firmly into the mainstream.
Broke: The virus was released from the Wuhan facility.
Woke: A US funded bioweapon escaped from an American bioweapons research centre at Ft Detrick.
Bespoke: A US bioweapon was released from the Wuhan lab through an international collaboration between ft Detrick and Wuhan researchers funded by the pentagon
hey remember when one of the soldiers at Ft. Detrick did a double shooting

:trump-anguish: Good, I hope they investigate that place! I asked them way back in 2019 to do some work for me, simple folks, leak something nasty in China and make it look like it's their fault. Easy job, right? WRONG. They got me sick instead! What clowns! We need to get tough on Fort Detrick.
why is nobody talking about pasta leak theory ???? :anti-italian-action: https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19-origin-italy-11626028854
this is an italiano illuminato cospiratione calzone :parenti-hands:
Just did a little digging, the hip-hop group is called 天府事变; CD Rev, Chengdu Revolution, or Tianfu Shibian.
no reasin to cheer on this. pure shitflinging and sinking to american levels. rise above is a bit of a meme but we should be more rigorous in face of antivax anyway
Ok consider this: US intelligence would do something like this
That's right, when they go low we go high, that's how you win politics
It's true, it was Long Corbyn's preferred tactic and as we know he is called that because he is the longest serving Prime minsister :long-corbyn:
Ft. Derrick is literally a bio war lab that had a leak right before the pandemic though lmao
I mean, I might be true. And if it's not, there might be some Americans who will read this and say "that's bullshit, but that's exactly what we're doing accusing them of a lab leak." Hard to see how it hurts anything; the conversation has long been politicized.
