Scientist Fired from Winnipeg Disease Lab Intentionally Worked to Benefit China

One of the scientists who was fired from Canada's top infectious disease laboratory "intentionally" shared scientific information with China — potentially putting people's health in jeopardy — says an assessment by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

The intelligence assessment was released late Wednesday afternoon by the federal government, along with hundreds of other documents about the mysterious dismissal of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng.

The scientists and their students worked in the Level 4 virology facility at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab (NML), which is equipped to deal with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases.

The couple were marched out of the facility in July 2019 and were stripped of their security clearances. Their dismissals were announced in January 2021, triggering concerns about Chinese espionage and leading to heated demands in Parliament for more information.

According to the documents, CSIS conducted multiple security screenings of the couple.

The documents show the service had a more rosy initial assessment of Qiu's motivation, noting in spring of 2020 that she could be "susceptible ... based on the belief in the power of science to help humanity."

But as the investigation went deeper, CSIS's concerns deepened. A few months later, CSIS wrote Qiu was using the level 4 lab in Canada "as a base to assist China to improve its capability to fight highly-pathogenic pathogens" and "achieved brilliant results."

Qiu provided Beijing "with the Ebola genetic sequence, which opened a door of convenience for China," wrote CSIS.

CSIS accused Qiu of being associated with multiple "talent programs" administered and funded by various Chinese entities.

Those programs are set up to "boost China's national technological capabilities and may pose a serious threat to research institutions, including government research facilities, by incentivizing economic espionage and theft of intellectual property," said CSIS in the report.

In early January 2021, the head of CSIS's security screening program issued a dire warning about Qiu's trustworthiness and her "close and clandestine relationships with a variety of entities of the PRC, which is a known security threat to Canada."

The service also called out her "reckless judgement regarding decisions that could have impacted public safety and the interests of Canada."...

Of course PP has to have the "it's all Trudeau's fault" angle, but still, a fair criticism.

Having two Chinese scientists exploiting their access to secure information and purposely giving information to China was an avoidable compromise of Canadian security that shouldn't have happened. Since it was discovered, it took five years for us to get information, which is a little long.

Pharmacare!!!!

Two types of medications are now available to all Canadians: diabetes and contraceptives. Yeah!!

Quebec and Alberta are holding out, for now. Alberta has a nutcase premier, so, of course. But there are people in Alberta trying to push the premier to be a normal person for a moment. Quebec dismissed the presentation immediately, but may come around upon further negotiation. Very excellent!

Chinese folks are sometimes deputized by 5 Star China to act as auxiliary agents and work on behalf of the Mother Ship. If they are hesitant to do so, pressure can be put on the family (hostages) they leave behind in their original province.

Flabby responses by Western Governments to obvious provocation and espionage encourages 5 Star..........recall Joe Biden's lies about the ginormous Chinese Spy Balloon.................
