There have been local regulations (for instance Zhejiang province in 2009, Guangdong province in 2010) and national regulations since then, especially the Biosafety Law of the People's Republic of China adopted on October 17, 2020.
1/6 Why on earth did Gerald Keusch think he could write in these terms to @drsanjaygupta?
👉🏻 "do better to clarify and not further muddy the sewage left over from the behavior of the US gov. toward China"
That was just after the CNN interview of Dr. Redfield on 27 March 2021.
2/6 Dr. Gupta actually did not even say much at all. He was taken a bit aback during the interview.
Daszak and Keusch are just annoyed that CNN dared interview him.
3/6 The opening is mad:
"You totally missed the point with your comments about the origins of CoV-2. Whether or not the virus was even in the Wuhan Institute of Virology or there was an accidental release, CoV-2 originated as a spillover from bats and ultimately to humans."
Simon Wain-Hobson (Institut Pasteur) gave a talk to NIH officials last month.
He told them Collins and Fauci committed a "professional failure" by sterilizing debate on dangerous virus research.
He said Proximal Origin had "no data", and lab leak likely.

André Lwoff Prize, Athena Prize from the French Academy of Sciences, Officier de la Légion d'Honneur, OBE (Order of the British Empire, 2022 list) for services to virology.
Wain-Hobson and his research group at Pasteur Institute were the first to publish the sequence of HIV.
One of the top virologists around.
Wain-Hobson called the 2011 Collins/Fauci/Nabel Washington Post essay a "Papal Bull" that stopped all discussion about gain-of-function dangers.
👉🏻 "Everyone was scared...because Drs. Fauci, Nabel, and Collins had sterilized the debate. We can't have this."
Worobey is working on a paper showing that the epicenter is a taberna close to the lab.
Holmes has a photo of a well-wined evening there, which he will turn into a paper too.
Places like that are clear zoonotic disasters in the making.
All [ASF] viruses currently circulating in the Member States belong to genetic groups 2-28 and not to the new genetic group 29 to which the virus causing the outbreak in the province of Barcelona belongs - very similar to genetic group 1 that circulated in Georgia in 2007. mapa.gob.es/es/prensa/ulti…
Good luck to the Daszak in suing EHA (through its board of directors) for a total of $4mln.
He is a debarred fraud, likely linked to one of the most destructive events of the last 100 years, who racked millions at EHA, and enjoyed the high life in its colonial revival villa in upstate NY, not far from his favourite ski fields.
