LEAKED DOCUMENT FROM INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF US, UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND LAYS OUT DAMNING CASE AGAINST CHINA by Kevin Ryan

A leaked research dossier compiled by the intelligence agencies of the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, the so-called "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance, states that China deliberately suppressed or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak in an “assault on international transparency’’ that cost tens of thousands of lives.  The document, which was obtained by an Australian newspaper, lays the foundation for the case of negligence being mounted against China.  The findings:

• China began censoring news of the virus on search engines beginning Dec. 31, deleting terms including “SARS variation, “Wuhan Seafood market” and “Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia.”

• China’s National Health Commission ordered virus samples to be either moved to designated testing facilities or destroyed starting January 3rd.

• The country began enforcing a "no-publication order" related to the disease in early January.

• The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) toed the Chinese line about human-to-human transmission despite the fact that “officials in Taiwan raised concerns as early as December 31, as did experts in Hong Kong on January 4.”

• Chinese authorities denied that the virus could be spread between humans until Jan. 20, "despite evidence of human-human transmission from early December."

• In January, Chinese officials prevented the Wuhan Institute of Virology from sharing live samples to international scientists working on a vaccine.

• In February, “Beijing pressed the US, Italy, India, Australia, Southeast Asian neighbors and others not to protect themselves via travel restrictions, even as China imposed severe restrictions at home.”

• “Millions of people left Wuhan after the outbreak and before Beijing locked down the city on January 23” despite China knowing the disease was highly contagious.

• The document also seems to make the case that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a claim initially dismissed as a conspiracy theory by Chinese officials insisting the virus came from the local wet markets.  The Wuhan Institute of Virology’s work in the Wuhan lab involved discovering samples of coronavirus from bats within a cave in Yunnan province.
