China’s military is engaged in secret biological weapons development that is a key element of Beijing’s asymmetric warfare strategy, according to a new report by the CCP Biothreats Initiative, a think tank. The report provides new details on biological weapons efforts of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) which researchers say controls all civilian biological research in China.
“Bioweapons are part of the CCP’s standard order of battle; not an unconventional set of capabilities only to be used under extreme circumstances,” the report states.
The report is based on open-source research and Chinese military writings. In 2015, for example, the then-president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences (AMMS) He Fuchu stated that biotechnology is a new “strategic commanding heights” of national defense requiring biomaterials and “brain control” weaponry.
