#THREAD: EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 'has NO credible natural ancestor' and WAS created by #Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with 'retro-engineering' to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats, explosive new study claims
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
2/ DailyMail exclusively obtained the new 22-page paper authored by British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen set to be published in the Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery
3/ The study showed evidence suggesting Chinese scientists made the virus while working on a Gain of Function project in a Wuhan lab. Gain of Function research is banned in the US. It involves altering viruses to make them more infectious in order to study their effects on humans
4/ 2/ An explosive new study claims researchers found 'unique fingerprints' in COVID-19 samples that they say could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory
5/ According to the paper, Chinese scientists took a natural coronavirus 'backbone' found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new 'spike', turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible COVID-19
6/ The researchers, who concluded that COVID-19 'has no credible natural ancestor', also believe scientists reverse-engineered versions of the virus to cover up their tracks.

#Tibet's exile leader warns of #Chinese aggression: ‘#China will transform you’

The oppression of #Tibetans by the Chinese government is well documented – but new reports show that it's getting worse.

500,000 Tibetans are now being held in labor camps.
foxnews.com/world/tibetan-…
2/ China is ramping up its abuses and 500,000 Tibetans are now being held in labor camps as part of a systematic genocidal campaign that has one aim. "They want to make Tibet into a Chinese province and they want to make Tibetans into Chinese,"
3/ The Chinese military has recently increased its presence in the country; forced sterilization is being reported, while people are routinely arrested and known to be tortured and killed. Sangay said it must be stopped.

#IndianNavy’s First Indigenous Aircraft Carrier Vikrant Catching Up To #China

The Indian Navy’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, is expected to start sea trials soon. She'll be India’s 2nd carrier joining the Russian built INS Vikramaditya.
navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
2/ At 45,000 tons the Vikrant will be around 67% the size of China’s existing aircraft carriers, which displace around 65,000 tons.

But her compact dimensions belie capabilities which are overall quite comparable to China’s first two carrier
3/ Although the construction of the Indian and Chinese ships overlaps, in many respects the Indian carrier is a generation newer in design.

Design of Vikrant started in 1999 while the Chinese ships are rooted in 1970s Soviet technology.

1/ Is this finally proof Covid DID leak from #China's Wuhan lab?

The sample with a 96% match with the virus, a young medic's damning findings & bat cave trip that killed 3 miners... the Mail dossier that can no longer be ignored.

Special Report!👍

2/ Wall Street Journal reported conclusions from US intelligence report last week

Reported that 3 researchers from the WIV were hospitalised in November 2019.

Had symptoms 'consistent with Covid-19' at least a month before Beijing officially reported the existence of virus.
3/ The revelation gives fresh impetus to long-standing claims that the novel coronavirus virus — official name SARS-CoV-2 — originated not at the Huanan seafood and wildlife market in Wuhan, or at any of the other suggested 'ground zeros', but via a leak in a Wuhan laboratory.

1) #India & #Vietnam should improve defense ties

They face increasing assertiveness by #China, but military cooperation has been spotty

India & Vietnam made good progress on military cooperation. Yet more needs to be done to materialize these goals.
asiatimes.com/2021/05/india-…
2) In terms of weapons procurements, the two countries are faced with some level of ambiguity. In 2014, India offered the BrahMos, an anti-ship cruise missile, to Vietnam. But no real progress has been seen since then, apart from intermittent talks.
3) Lack of funding has been stated as a reason for the deal not materializing. Another reason being speculated is fear of Beijing.

New Delhi seems to be hesitant to accelerate supplies of military hardware to countries in its immediate neighborhood.

1/ #Apple has stored the data of thousands of customers on #Chinese servers and censored apps to please the government that controls most of its supply chain, the New York Times reports

businessinsider.com.au/apple-data-chi…
2/ Apple has catered to China’s government as it relies on China’s supply chain, the NYT reports.

Tim Cook approved using servers run by Chinese firms to store customer data.

That would make it easy for authorities to access the information of millions of Chinese citizens.
3/ CEO Tim Cook green-lit using servers run by Chinese state-owned companies to store customer data.

China also reportedly wouldn’t accept Apple’s use of encryption technology that it typically uses in its data server centers, so the company agreed to abandon it.

Tiny #Palau in not-so-pacific middle of #US & #China

Pacific island nation has responded to #Beijing's perceived 'bullying' by inviting #US to establish strategic ports, bases & installations.

There is a “high-stakes rivalry going on” between China & US.
asiatimes.com/2021/05/tiny-p…
2) Tiny Palau invited the US Pentagon to build ports, bases and airfields on its Pacific islands after Chinese President Xi Jinping bullied the Pacific island nation by destabilizing its fragile economy, according to defiant President Surangel Whipps.
3) “President Whipps’ frank assessment of Chinese pressure – and invitation to host US bases – are unusually blunt for a Pacific leader,” Australia Pacific Security College director Meg Keen said in an interview.
