The latest Chinese disinformation in relation to the origins of SARS-CoV-2: a shipment of 55 boxes of frozen lobsters from Maine via flight MU298 arriving in Shanghai Pudong Airport at 0404 Nov 11, 2019!!! They even created a timeline of the fictional events!!!

😂😂😂
The lobsters were then transported from Shanghai to Wuhan — Huanan Seafood Market — and other cities, according to this new “theory”.
This new piece of disinformation is already spreading on Canadian social media; the English post looks like a direct translation of the Chinese post. Chances are that this is a concerted campaign by China’s global influence network.

🔥 Wuhan scientists were planning to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into Chinese bat populations to inoculate them against diseases that could jump to humans, leaked grant proposals dating from 2018 show.

1/n telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/2…
New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.

They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14M from DARPA to fund the work.

Beijing recently granted a flurry of approvals to BlackRock, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Amundi and Schroders allowing them to operate their own businesses without any local partner in China. These moves actually give Beijing lots of upsides.

* more market access means deeper coupling between China and countries such as the US. Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, and JPMorgan will become “hostages” held by Beijing and will be excellent insurance against potential US financial sanctions.

* these financial institutions are

2/n
obliged to do Beijing’s bidding, and lobby for, or act on behalf of, the regime when needed. Wall Street will most likely be more convincing lobbyists than Nike or Tesla.

* these financial institutions will of course help the regime secure $$$ especially in tough times.

There’s no mention of the massive flooding and death toll in Zhengzhou on the front page of People’s Daily.

There’s no direct mention of the Zhengzhou flooding in the headlines on the front page of the web version of People’s Daily either. See the red line I added in? The “fine print” there is where you click for the Zhengzhou flooding story.

2/n Image
State media claimed last night (July 20) that passengers trapped in Zhengzhou subway were being saved and no one was in danger but they’re actually still trapped inside and many died in the end.

Think what state media did when the coronavirus first appeared in Wuhan in 2019. ImageImage

Remember how China crowed about their success in containing the outbreak and laughed at western democracies questioning why countries like the US, UK etc didn’t close down their borders sooner? But...
