In a leaked State
Department cable from 2009, then-Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton warned that the
Wuhan Institute of Virology
could lead to,
"biological weapons
proliferation concern."
The cable, obtained via
WikiLeaks, was
sent from the State Department in
June 2009 to all embassies in member nations ahead of the
Australia Group plenary session in Paris, September 21-25, 2009.
The
Australia Group is an international
export control forum organized to prevent the spread of technologies
and research that could be used in chemical and biological weapons.
All
Five Eyes nations are members of the group, including
the EU, India, Japan, and South Korea. China is not a member of the
group.
The cable stated,
"We believe it is
important to focus on emerging chemical and biological
technologies, trends in the trade of CBW-related goods and
threats."
When it came to France,
Secretary Clinton’s cable noted:
"The U.S. believes
participants would benefit from hearing about your experiences
assisting China in setting up a Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4)
laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology from the export
control and intangible technology transfer perspectives.
We are particularly
interested to know how China plans to vet incoming foreign
researchers from countries of biological weapons proliferation
concern."
More broadly on the
question of China’s biological weapons program, Secretary Clinton’s
cable noted:
"The U.S. believes AG
members would be interested in any information you can share
related to China and North Korea, specifically information
related to:
China’s
Institutes of Biological Products (locations in Beijing and
Wuhan), to include overhead imagery analysis, if possible.
Your perceptions
of the CBW proliferation activities by Chinese entities.
Your perceptions of Chinese government efforts to enforce
its export control rules."
Since the outbreak of
COVID-19 and questions surrounding
the Wuhan lab, Hillary Clinton,
has never spoken
publicly of these concerns, but has attacked people bringing
them up as racist, and blamed them for attacks on
Asian-Americans, without evidence.
The 42 states
participating in the Australia Group are,
Argentina, Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the
United Kingdom, and the United States.
The European Union also
participates.
