...in Fresno County, CA.
Anyone still think the Chinese are friendly, nice guys?
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officials-bel...The Fresno County Public Health Department has been "evaluating and assessing the activities of an unlicensed laboratory" in Reedley, the health department's assistant director, Joe Prado, said in a statement Thursday. All of the biological agents were destroyed by July 7 following a legal abatement process by the agencyAnd what might they have found?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested the substances and detected at least 20 potentially infectious agents, including coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis and herpes, according to a Health and Human Services letter dated June 6.And who was running this lab from an abandoned warehouse?
An investigation found the tenant was Prestige BioTech, a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with Xiuquin Yao, who was identified as the company president, through emails included in the court documents.

2027.
By then, the Chinese Navy is 2x the size of ours (this is the last piece of their puzzle) and they'll have bases all along the Pacific WW2 style to slow down our Navy before it can help Taiwan.
Good thing we don't have a President whose family business is taking money from China'oh, wait'

The bio hazard stuff is new. The Chinese were found in the past mixing real drugs in herbs and selling the herbs in California.

Dope1: Anyone still think the Chinese are friendly, nice guys?
Aside from Trump and his cult, I don't know anyone who thinks the Chinese government is a bunch of "friendly, nice guys".
TRUMP: "Terrific working with President Xi, a man who truly loves his country."
TRUMP: "President Xi is a brilliant man. If you went all over Hollywood to look for somebody to play the role of President Xi, you couldn't find, there's nobody like that. The look, the brain, the whole thing."
Biden said Xi is a dictator.
As for the article, well, there's not much 'there' there, is there?
A name -- Xiuquin Yao -- but not much more. After reading through another half-dozen articles, none of them has any substantial details with respect to who was doing what.
Quoting from your article:
Yao told officials that Prestige BioTech moved assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc., to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went under. Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI and identified as its successor, according to court documents.
So, yeah, definitely is suspicious but suspicion isn't evidence.
And I'm more than willing to say, sure, you might be 100% right that this is a Chinese government project... but you're not there yet.
Your linked article closes with: "Some of our federal partners still have active investigations going."
So, time will tell.
But, no, no one here loves China.

'Inside Hunter Biden's multimillion-dollar deals with a Chinese energy company
A Washington Post review confirms key details and offers new documentation of Biden family interactions with Chinese executives
The deal was years in the making, the culmination of forging contacts, hosting dinners, of flights to and from China. But on Aug. 2, 2017, signatures were quickly affixed, one from Hunter Biden, the other from a Chinese executive named Gongwen Dong.'

If you took away strawmen and whatabouts, the right wouldn't have much to write about. Limbaugh was the strawmaster and got away with it because nobody could call BS in real time on his BS strawmen and apples/oranges whatabots.
Not so easy on message boards where dittoheads are promptly pantsed for trying the crap that worked for Limbaugh on the air.

Now do Donald and Ivanka.
The
Chinese government granted 18 trademarks to companies linked to president Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump while he was president and she worked for the administration, 34 in total for Ivanka.
In October, China's Trademark Office granted provisional approval for 16 trademarks to Ivanka Trump Marks LLC, bringing to 34 the total number of marks China has greenlighted this year, according to the office's online database. The new approvals cover Ivanka-branded fashion gear including sunglasses, handbags, shoes and jewelry, as well as beauty services and voting machines.https://apnews.com/article/0a3283036d2f4e699da4aa3...(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20The%20Chinese,interest%20in%20the%20White%20House.

That was Hunter, not "the Biden family". And it was a business deal. Not that I excuse Hunter for that, but business is about maximizing profits. Very few take moral/ethical stands. So it was not inconsistent. My own company wined-and-dined some Chinese executives about 15 (maybe 20) years ago. I wasn't privy to any of the details, but I can guess that we were trying to open up distribution in the PRC. I found it (and still find it) abhorrent, but the duty of a corporation as to maximize shareholder value any way they can. It's up to government to regulate them (which, at the time, was Bush Jr). Otherwise corporations behave as psychopathic entities (there have been numerous studies about that dating back to at least 2011). I'm not saying our CEO was a psychopath (as near as I can tell, he wasn't). But the single-minded duty of maximizing shareholder value to the exclusion of a "public good" or empathy for others or remorse for any damage that results is the definition of psychopathy.
Hunter was doing his duty to any shareholders/stakeholders. It was up to government to intervene if it was inappropriate, and they (apparently) didn't.

That would be a horrifying thought. Can you imagine having to choose between Hunter and Desantis? I don't really know THAT much about Hunter, but what I know is not impressive. If he's kicked the drugs, I can respect that. But his business shenanigans and apparent lack of sense would be disqualifying for me, also.
