China demands US to stop biological experiments

10 марта 2022

China demands to ensure the health and safety of people living in Ukraine and the neighboring countries amid the revelation of the US experiments in bio-laboratories in the Ukrainian territory. Beijing strongly urges Washington to comply with relevant international obligations and renounce the development and use of chemical weapons.

Zhao Lijian, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman:

The international community has long been seriously concerned about the biological military activities of the United States. What has the United States been doing at the Fort Detrick base on its own soil and in 336 biological laboratories abroad? Are these activities consistent with the Biological Weapons Convention? The international community knows nothing about this. This can no longer be regarded simply as an expression of concern or as misinformation.

As recently as last year, Chinese virologists offered to inspect a secret U.S. base in Maryland. It is suspicious that just before the COVID-19 epidemic, the laboratory at Fort Detrick, which had a collection of dangerous viruses, was abruptly dismantled.
