Documents Reveal China Discussed Weaponisation of COVID-19 Prior to Pandemic

As the world continues to battle the deadly coronavirus, questions raise over China’s role in the spread of the pandemic.

Documents obtained by the US State Department reveal that China discussed weaponisation of COVID-19. The documents reveal Chinese Army commanders had predicted that World War 3 will be fought with biological weapons. The military document titled ‘The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons’ reveal the Chinese military’s plans with regards to bioweapons that could cause the enemy’s medical system to collapse.

Peter Jennings, the executive director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), told news.com.au that the document is as close to a “smoking gun” as we’ve got.
“I think this is significant because it clearly shows that Chinese scientists were thinking about military application for different strains of the coronavirus and thinking about how it could be deployed,” Jennings said. He also said that the document may explain why China has been so reluctant for outside investigations into the origins of COVID-19.
“If this was a case of transmission from a wet market it would be in China’s interest to co-operate … we’ve had the opposite of that.”

The paper obtained by the US officials were reportedly written by Chinese military scientists and senior public health officials in 2015.
