New: The United Nations doesn’t practice the democracy it preaches washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa… by me @PostOpinions
.@arora4people: “It seems like there is no intention to have an election because there’s only one candidate. So they are trying to bypass that and just renew his contract. But Guterres doesn’t deserve a second term.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
By rubber-stamping a second term for Guterres, the U.N. would be bypassing a free and fair democratic process and undermining its own supposed commitment to promote gender equality and youth inclusiveness. washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
The depressing message this would send is that U.N. politics will remain with the old guard and that the U.N. will drift further away from the modernization and reforms it so badly needs. washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…

Rand Paul and Fauci are arguing over whether the bat coronavirus research in Wuhan was "gain of function" according to the NIH definition. That's somewhat besides the point of whether the research is risky or not (it is).
Fauci: “I do not have any accounting of what the Chinese may have done and I am fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China.” Wow.
Fauci: "The NIH and NIAID categorically has not funded gain of function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Paul points out that many scientists argue the research was gain-of-function even if the NIH didn't define it as such.

Today I got a call that showed up on my phone as coming from my wife, but the person on the other line was from actually from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency @CISAgov. This is the second time this has happened... 1/?
@CISAgov When I answered, "Sidney" said he was returning a missed call from my number. I asked him who he worked for and he said "Homeland Security." I asked him was it CISA (because this happened to me before) and he said "Yes." 2/?
@CISAgov Like the last time, "Sidney" didn't seem to know why he had received a missed call or why his return call showed up on my caller ID as my wife's phone number. He asked me who I was and I told him my name and that I was a reported for the Washington Post. He got nervous... 3/?

Re-up my September scoop on the U.S. intel assessment that Russia was interfering in the election to denigrate Biden. (Some seem to think this is new today, it's not) washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
What you have today is a public release of a declassified and updated version of the intel assessment I reported on last year, BEFORE the election. The release just confirms my reporting and adds new details, but the premise of Russian actions and intentions is not new.
Of course, the released document also covers several other countries, which were not a subject of my previous report. So I'm not saying there's no news in it, I'm just saying the Putin working to denigrate Biden part isn't new.

The first excerpt of my book CHAOS UNDER HEAVEN:Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the 21st Century is now LIVE: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… @washingtonpost
The title of the excerpt is: How covid hastened the decline and fall of the U.S.-China relationship. It traces the breakdown of the Trump-Xi bromance as the pandemic took hold. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
"Xi told Trump China had the outbreak under control, the virus was not a threat to the outside world, was sensitive to temperature and would likely go away when the weather got warmer.

None of these things was true, but Trump believed them."

New: The White House’s use of Zoom for meetings raises China-related security concerns washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… @washingtonpost
Exclusive: @RepJimBanks letter to @WHCOS Ron Klain: “Why is Zoom being used, rather than alternatives, given the history of Zoom meetings being infiltrated by agents of the Chinese Communist Party?” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Former senior Trump administration official: “The NSC was terrified of Zoom. The NSC went out of its way not to use Zoom for any meetings because they were told it was not safe to use Zoom for any official capacity.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

National Security Adviser @jakejsullivan says the upcoming @WHO report on China lacks critical data held back by China about “the origins of the pandemic, in Wuhan, China.” @FaceTheNation
.@JakeSullivan46 won’t stand by or dispute the State Dept Jan 15 report on evidence of sick researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology months before the outbreak. He dodged the question repeatedly to @margbrennan on @FaceTheNation
Pottinger tells @margbrennan evidence exists that the Chinese military was doing coronavirus experiments on animals for years and that the researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology got sick in Autumn, 2019. @FaceTheNation
