❗️Infected Wuhan Bats & Humanized Mice - US-Funded Coronavirus Research in China KNOWING Deadly Risks (Report)

Washington funded studies into coronavirus in bats in Wuhan, long before the pandemic according to documents obtained by the Intercept.

More than 900 pages of material related to the research were published on the company’s website, revealing the research of EcoHealth Alliance, a US-based organization’s work with Chinese partners on coronaviruses - especially in bats and mice.

China culture crackdown a sign of 'profound' political change - commentary

China's crackdown on celebrity culture and its moves to rein in giant internet firms are a sign of "profound" political changes under way in the country, a prominent blogger said in a post widely circulated across state media.

The Chinese government has recently taken action against what it has described as "chaotic" online fan club culture, and has also punished celebrities for tax evasion and other offences.

In a wide-ranging series of interventions in the economy, it has also promised to tackle inequality, "excessively high" incomes, soaring property prices and profit-seeking education institutions.

Johnson may block Chinese takeover of UK’s largest computer chip maker

Boris Johnson may block a Chinese-owned company from purchasing the UK’s largest producer of semiconductors, a senior government adviser has suggested, as they warned Beijing was on the brink of initiating a new “cold war”.

Tony Abbott, the former prime minister of Australia recruited by Johnson to advise on post-Brexit trade, said he was heartened by a review being launched into the takeover of Welsh microchip manufacturer Newport Wafer Fab by Nexperia and suggested it meant the process could be paused.

Johnson had asked his national security adviser, Sir Stephen Lovegrove, to look into the sale after previously being accused of acquiescing to the deal by not scrutinising it more closely, particularly given the semiconductor industry’s geopolitical prominence.
