    US wont do shit. This will just justify useless military spending and corrupt funnelling to Chinese "containment"

    Vietnam should score some of it so thats a silver lining.

    “ Secret WIV Links to Military Research: Despite the WIV presenting itself as a civilian institution, the WIV has collaborated on publications and secret projects with China’s military. The WIV has engaged in classified research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017.“

    Love when I fuck up responding to my house being on fire and instead decide to imply fire came into existence as a plot against me

    I dunno if it’s “creating” as much as it’s an accusation that there’s a lack of transparency. Just saying foo..

      Yeah very similar to how the US was just accusing Sadam over a lack of transparency over Iraq's chemical weapons program.

      The only source they cite for all their claims is themselves. They claim that the WIV literally changed public online records. This has to be easily demonstrable. I am not sure why they wouldn't try to at least show evidence for this.

      They also cite that "open source reporting" has been used. Sounds a lot like bellingcat (which I would strongly encourage you to read about, grayzone has done a lot of interesting reporting on this).

      In any case, there is a WHO investigation going on which I imagine would be discredited in the future "for not being transparent enough or something". We might even get a few laughs.

    I actually compiled a personal conspiracy theory comment on Reddit a few days ago. It included how China probably engineered the virus. And now who became immensely more wealthy because everyone is stuck at home? Bezos. The guy selling Chinese trinkets for a premium.

    Edit: Also, great way to keep up the Cyber Cold War. China made the virus! Potentially with our help. China hacked us! Potentially with our help. Now any problem in America can randomly be blamed on "unknown leaks and China." Same bullshit we got about Russia over the last 5 years of toxic nonsense, as if we're not actually friends with Russia and creating nonsense for all our benefit.
