Under the guise of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and Pakistan are together conducting experiments of dangerous pathogens since 2015. As per reports published in theklaxon.com.au, a team of coronavirus scientists from Wuhan Institute of Virology in China has been conducting experiments of dangerous pathogens.
Last month, news surfaced that China and Pakistan have entered into a secret three-year agreement to expand potential bio-warfare capabilities. Results of five studies done by Wuhan and Pakistani scientists have been published in scientific papers, each involving the “detection and characterisation” of “zoonotic pathogens”.
For those unversed, zoonotic pathogens are infectious diseases that can pass from animals to humans. The studies comprise experiments and genome sequencing of the West Nile Virus, MERS-Coronavirus, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus, the Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus and the Chikungunya Virus.
There is no cure for the above-mentioned pathogens that most contagious, according to the article.
One of the studies thanked Wuhan’s National Virus Resource Centre for “providing the virus-infected Vero cells”. Each of the five studies conducted said it was “supported” by the “International Cooperation on Key Technologies of Biosafety along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)”.
In a way, China is using Pakistan as a “Petrey Dish” as per reports thousands of blood samples were collected from Pakistani men, women and children. These people reside in remote areas and cattle are an important part of daily life.
Citing highly credible intelligence sources, The Klaxon reported last month that China, through its Wuhan Institute of Virology, is testing lethal biological agents in Pakistan and providing “extensive training on manipulation of pathogens and bio-informatics” to Pakistani scientists, which could “enrich a potential offensive biological programme”.
There is also fear that the experiments and research that are being conducted to research “emerging infectious diseases” and the “biological control of transmitted diseases”, in a secret deal signed between the Pakistani military and China could lead to the release of deadly pathogens use to accident from inadequately equipped facilities.
It is alleged that the programme is involved in “various dual-use research projects”, meaning they can have both military and civilian applications. Both Pakistan and China have denied the accusations.
However, Islamabad has appeared to have confirmed the existence of a secret agreement between its military and Wuhan lab but the location where these experiments being conducted is still unknown.
