On 26 November 2025, the German newspaper *Berliner Zeitung* published a lengthy investigative report with the headline: "The CCP Has Not Learned from COVID-19: Key Figures at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Are Still Creating Deadly Chimeric Viruses That Can Infect Humans." The report named two key figures from the Wuhan Institute of Virology involved in the COVID-19 controversy: Zheng-Li Shi and Ben Hu. The two have once again appeared as authors in top international journals, and the content of their research is chilling. Although the journal mentioned in the *Berliner Zeitung* article was partially misrepresented as *Journal of Virology*, the actual paper has been verified as a groundbreaking article published online in *Nature Communications* on 19 December 2024: "Origin and cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses in China."

The author list includes:

3rd author: Ben Hu (Wuhan Institute of Virology)

6th author: Zheng-Li Shi (Currently affiliated with Guangzhou Laboratory, one of the corresponding authors)

The report cites the paper and supplementary materials, disclosing:

The research team constructed several bat-swine coronavirus chimeric viruses.

One of the chimeric viruses showed a 10,000-fold increase in viral load in humanized mouse brain tissue compared to its parent strain.

It can efficiently infect human and porcine organs. (organoids)

Mice infected in the experiment rapidly experienced severe weight loss, lethargy, and even death.

International criticism exploded. The Berliner Zeitung quoted several unnamed virologists from Europe and the US angrily denouncing the situation: "This is no longer a question of 'whether' it will trigger the next pandemic, but 'when'!" "Continuing to secretly conduct high-risk functional enhancement experiments while the world is still recovering from the trauma of COVID-19 is a crime against all humanity!"

The report specifically pointed out that Shi Zhengli and Hu Benzheng were among the "three earliest infected researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology" mentioned in the 2020 *Nature Medicine* paper on "closest ancestors" and in declassified US intelligence documents in 2023. Now, however, they are continuing similar research under the name of the "Guangzhou Laboratory," with some funding coming from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Since 2024, Shi Zhengli has officially transferred from the Wuhan Institute of Virology to the Guangzhou Laboratory (Guangzhou National Laboratory), but maintains close cooperation with the Wuhan Institute. The latest paper shows that her ongoing research on bat coronavirus function has never stopped; it has simply changed its guise.

Current International Response

The U.S. House Select Committee on COVID-19 has requested journals and authors to provide original data.

German biosafety experts are calling for an immediate halt to all enhancement projects at high-level biosafety laboratories in China.

A WHO spokesperson stated on the 28th that they are "monitoring the relevant papers."

Shi Zhengli and Hu Ben, names that once garnered global attention for their work on tracing the origins of COVID-19, are now once again on the cross of human destiny. Critics are roaring: This is no longer a question of "whether" it will trigger the next pandemic, but "when" it will explode!
