From Agroterrorism to Bioweapons Research: How the CCP Infiltrates the West | Sam Cooper
Manage episode 488421486 series 2562456
A 33-year-old researcher and her 34-year-old boyfriend, both Chinese nationals, were recently charged with allegedly smuggling into America a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, a potential bioterrorism weapon.
This recent case is just the tip of the iceberg, says investigative reporter Sam Cooper.
He played a key part in uncovering a similar case in Winnipeg, Canada.
“A married couple from China had been allegedly—according to the documents we now have access to—working with the highest levels of the Chinese military’s bioweapons program in Ebola research,” Cooper says. “They were running, clandestinely, materials from China and connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology into the Winnipeg lab.”
For years, Cooper has been at the forefront of exposing Chinese Communist Party infiltration in the West.
He is the founder of The Bureau and author of “Wilful Blindness: How a Criminal Network of Narcos, Tycoons, and Chinese Communist Party Agents Infiltrated the West.”
