An Update: Just unearthed this document which corroborates - and adds new details - to the evaluation work that was being carried out on 91 special projects of China's MoS&T (Including Project 2013FY113500) #Thread
1/ It's mostly stuff we already knew. Doesn't actually go into details of specific projects. Has some evaluation forms, and it outlines the measures & responsibilities on how the data generated by the projects is to be collected, stored, transferred, reviewed, published & so on.
2/ Quality review and acceptance was supposed to happen within one and a half months after receiving the scientific data submitted by the project. (Article 15, see attachment #3)
3/ Article 20 is super interesting:
"Secret-related scientific data will not be transferred, and the project undertaking unit and the person in charge of the project shall keep it in accordance with the relevant national confidentiality regulations." (See attachment #3)
4/ Important dates:
- "Submission of relevant materials should be completed before August 31."
- "Submission of scientific data should be completed before September 30."
5/
- "The pre-assessment review should be completed before October 10."
- "Comprehensive performance evaluation should be completed before October 31."
6/ This is interesting as well:
"Specimen resources, samples, reference materials & other physical objects obtained by the project are not within the scope of remittance & should be properly stored in the project undertaking unit or the unit designated by the MoS&T" (Article 12)

China lied about it at every step. They lied about its existence, about how it spread, about it having spread, about how many got it, and how many died. They forced doctors to lie, censored research and databases.
Then consider the fact that the Wuhan labs in question were known to be lacking in proper safety protocols and was specifically studying coronaviruses in bats, and the possibility of their transmission to humans.
They sampled, collected, and sequenced SARS-COV-2's closest relative (published till date), and kept it secret for years.
In the same month & year of the outbreak, there was an USAID/PREDICT bat sampling project in Mojiang. (I strongly suspect they were the one's who hired the miners to clean the mineshaft for one of their project.)
“You can engineer a virus without leaving any trace. However, the answers you are looking for can only be found in the archives of the Wuhan laboratory." - Ralph Baric speaks for the first time in Italy in an interview granted to @Presa_Diretta
So you rule out that SARS-CoV-2 is a laboratory chimera?
"Not with the viruses that have been sequenced and reported to date."
Are the databases public?
“Yes, the sequences can be downloaded. But then, I can't know if the researchers publish every single sequence."
"In the databases were the sequences of a large number of SARS-like bat coronaviruses identified in China - explains Baric - And in that huge basin, one could imagine that there were strains that could have grown well in human cells.."
1/ On Aug, Municipal Water Affairs Bureau launched a safety, supervision & inspection project. Emphasis on finding hidden dangers & preventing accidents.
"We used detailed phylogenetic analysis, ancestral sequence reconstruction, & molecular dynamics simulations to examine the Spike-RBD functional evolution, finding to our surprise that it has likely possessed high affinity for hACE2 since at least 2013."
"If this is the case – that this viral lineage possessed the ability to bind hACE2 with high affinity
for at least the past 7 years – then why did it not emerge as a public health issue until recently?"
"One possibility is that binding hACE2 by the Spike-RBD is not sufficient, on its own, to
infect humans, and that other molecular components first needed to acquire new functions to do so."
