Bomb & death threats made against Chinese Embassy in Washington – Beijing blames US government

A spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry has blamed alleged bomb and death threats made against the country’s embassy in Washington, DC on the US government.

The US’ order that the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas be closed represents an “unprecedented upgrade” in “political oppression” against China, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying tweeted on Wednesday, adding that the embassy in Washington has received bomb and death threats “as a result of smears and hatred fanned up by the US government.”

Army germ lab shut down by CDC in 2019 had several ‘serious’ protocol violations that year

Several of the laboratory violations the CDC noted in 2019 concerned “non-human primates” infected with a “select agent”, the identity of which is unknown — it was redacted in all received documents, because disclosing the identity and location of the agent would endanger public health or safety, the agency says. In addition to Ebola, the lab works with other deadly agents like anthrax and smallpox.

Select agents are defined by the CDC as “biological agents and toxins that have been determined to have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety, to animal and plant health, or to animal or plant products.”
