After helping China build the Wuhan laboratory, France issued a warning to the U.S.

Reporter : Xie Jiaxuan / Editor : Li Yuan / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/21/7/26/n13116969.htm


The former US State Department leader investigating the origins of SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 said that the US government should stop funding Wuhan in 2015 in virus laboratory research. At that time, France issued a warning to the United States because the CCP reduced the cooperation between the two countries in the construction and operation of the laboratory.

According to a report by the Daily Caller News Foundation on the 26th, David Asher, the former chief investigator of the US State Department, stated that French intelligence officials warned the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US State Department in 2015. The CCP is reducing the cooperation agreement between China and France laboratories.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in the world, the Wuhan laboratory has become the focus of public opinion. The laboratory is a Sino-French joint project and was launched in 2004.

At that time, France provided the laboratory's design, biosafety training and most of the technology.

However in 2015, French pharmaceutical industrialist Alain Mérieux left the position of chairman of the bilateral committee because of the existence of the cooperation plan. Technip also refused to certify the building.

According to a telegram from the U.S. State Department in April 2018, the French envisioned the Wuhan laboratory as an open and transparent research institution to provide services for global research on potential pandemics. The telegram quoted a French consulate official who was engaged in cooperation with the Chinese technology industry in Wuhan.

This project took more than ten years to complete, and the unveiling ceremony was held in February 2017.

The then French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said at the time that in order to support Sino-French cooperation projects, France will provide China with technical expertise to support the quality and safety of laboratories. France will also set a budget of 1 million euros per year for a period of 5 years. .

In May 2017, the head of Inserm, a French public research institution that helped establish the Wuhan laboratory, told the journal Science and Health that the funding would fund 50 French scientists to China to train staff in the Wuhan laboratory.

According to the agreement between Paris and Beijing, the French will supervise the work of Chinese researchers in Wuhan. However, contrary to expectations, the laboratory gradually got rid of the management of French scientists. The 50 French researchers who were supposed to go to Wuhan to work for 5 years have never left France.

Asher said that in 2017, the French were "kicked out" of the laboratory, and the two sides stopped cooperating, and French officials also warned the US State Department that they were seriously concerned about the Chinese Communist Party's motives.

The U.S. State Department pointed out in a telegram in January 2018 that the Wuhan laboratory lacks well-trained technicians. Afterwards, it was revealed in January 2021 that the Wuhan laboratory has been engaged in classified research on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017.

According to Asher, American officials who visited the laboratory and issued a telegram warning were barred from returning by Beijing because they asked "too many questions."

The State Council did not respond to a request for comment.

According to e-mails published by WikiLeaks, as early as 2009, the US State Department, led by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, expressed concern about the Wuhan laboratory and asked France how China (the CCP) would "censor incoming foreign researchers", and avoid issues such as transferring technology to countries with biological weapons proliferation problems.

According to the French newspaper Le Figaro, although high-level French politicians support this cooperation, the country’s national security and defense experts oppose it. These officials stated that they did not want to share sensitive technology with "non-ally oppressive countries" and were worried that the laboratory might be transformed into a "biological weapons arsenal."

A senior Chinese official said on 22 July that Beijing authorities rejected the World Health Organization's (WHO) proposal for a second phase of the origin of the virus, including an investigation into the hypothesis of leaks in Chinese laboratories. At the same time, Beijing has blocked WHO from accessing important records of the laboratory.

Ashle said that as early as 2015 when the French warned the U.S. State Department, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense and the United States Agency for International Development should stop sending funds to the Wuhan laboratory, and State Department officials should close all cooperation related to the laboratory.

"China (the CCP) basically sucked the United States into its honey pot to obtain American technology, knowledge, and material support. This is a classic (case). Just like what they did in every field. "He says.

From October 2009 to May 2019, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided US$1.1 million to the US-based EcoHealth Alliance to sign a sub-agreement with the Wuhan Virus Laboratory.

According to a report in New York, the Eco-Health Alliance has also received grants from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), an agency of the Department of Defense, and US$600,000 allocated by the National Institutes of Health from 2014 to 2019. All these funds finally were assigned to the Wuhan laboratory.
