There was a story over the weekend that deserves your attention about a Chinese-owned laboratory in Reedley, California. Reedley, California, which is about 25 miles southeast of Stockton, and it had vials of deadly pathogens, things like HIV, covid, E.coli, herpes, and Malaria, among others.
It was owned by a Chinese national and had about a thousand mice, some living, some dead, to go along with lab equipment and the pathogens.
It was uncovered during the follow-up of a building inspector observation. A building inspector noticed something not to code at the warehouse building on a tour of the business area. It was a garden hose draining something out of the back of the building, which was illegal so a search warrant was obtained.
The warehouse lab equipment included about 30 refrigerators and freezers, animals, vials of human blood, and other substances. State and federal health officials, including the CDC, were called in. Over 20 viruses, bacteria, and parasites were identified at the facility.
The owner of the operation is a Nevada-based company called Prestige Biotech. A Chinese national named Xiuqin Yao is the listed owner. He has not been very cooperative, but he did say that the stuff in the warehouse belongs to Universal Meditech, a bankrupt company based in Fresno, California. Court documents show he has listed various addresses for himself and his company, all vacant buildings or enterprises in China.
State and Federal criminal investigations are underway.
Not that the FBI did not find the lab. The CIA did not find it. Homeland Security didn’t find it either. It wasn’t found by some hotdog state investigator. An alert building inspector spotted a hose draining where it should not have been draining.
The FBI opens a China investigation every 10 hours. There aren’t enough agents to do that work. Chinese nationals, wherever they are around the world, are required by Chinese law to work as directed for the CCP, the military, or the intelligence service. We know that…
This means Mr. Yao would unleash the pathogens in his lab onto the American people if China told him to do so. If he refuses, his family and friends in China end up hurt, jailed, or killed. This all adds up to a national security shortcoming. We know that…
Are you beginning to feel like it is early 2001? Back before the World Trade Center… before 9/11? Our federal government was not paying attention. America and Americans are not protected against Chinese threats. Our government is not taking the threat seriously. If they were… would we have an open southern border?
