Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI)‚ chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party‚ said Sunday the FBI and initially the CDC refused to investigate a California biolab connected to the CCP. The Wisconsin Republican appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss the latest developments on the biolab discovered in Reedley‚ California. “The interview comes after the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party‚ which Gallagher chairs‚ concluded that a fugitive Chinese national ran an illegal laboratory in Reedley‚ Calif.‚ for years with about 20 samples of infectious diseases‚” Just the News reports. “The operation was only discovered when a building inspector noticed suspicious activity at what was supposed to be an abandoned building‚” the outlet added. Top GOP congressman says CDC‚ FBI wouldn't investigate illegal California biolab connected to China | Just The News https://t.co/uscg7CZ2wj — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) November 26‚ 2023 Just the News reports: The inspector called the FBI‚ but was unsuccessful at bringing attention to the issue‚ Gallagher said. “They called the FBI. The FBI said‚ well‚ we can’t investigate because there’s no ties to WMD [weapons of mass destruction]‚ which is absurd‚ they called the CDC. The CDC hung up on them initially. And it wasn’t until the local congressman got on the case that the CDC was forced to send a team to investigate. And that wasn’t until many‚ many months later‚” Gallagher said Sunday. “This has revealed a huge soft underbelly in our domestic national security. It’s incredibly troubling. We need to do more to prevent this from happening.” Some of the more concerning finds in the lab included a freezer labeled “Ebola‚” a rare‚ but often fatal illness. Gallagher said that the CDC discovered the freezer‚ but “because the bags themselves were not labeled Ebola‚ though the freezer was labeled Ebola‚ they refused to even test the sample.” BOMBSHELL REPORT: Biolab owner in California revealed as an ILLEGAL from China. Biolab was FUNDED by the Chinese Communist government and SUBSIDIZED by Gavin Newsom.. Recently uncovered in Fresno‚ California‚ was a covert and illicit Chinese biological laboratory‚ reportedly… pic.twitter.com/rGAiyFkDgM — Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) November 26‚ 2023 “How many of these secret biolabs exist around the country?” Sean Duffy asked. “The honest answer is we don’t know. And what worries me in doing this investigation‚ my committee conducted the investigation. We have a bipartisan report that explains the whole thing that Americans can read‚ is that if the FBI director or the president turned to the FBI director and said‚ hey‚ we need to figure out how many of these we have in the United States‚ they wouldn’t even know where to begin‚” Gallagher explained. “Here we had a Chinese citizen who came to America illegally. He was fleeing a $330‚000‚000 judgment for intellectual property theft on behalf of the Chinese government. He set up this lab‚ and he was buying dangerous pathogens‚ including Ebola‚ including tuberculosis‚ including HIV online. So we have no tripwires in place‚ no safeguards in place‚ in order to prevent potentially a hostile actor from buying dangerous pathogens in order to damage America‚” he added. According to a report released by the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party‚ Jia Bei Zhu‚ 62‚ operated the biolab. California Biolab Linked To Chinese Communist Party‚ Congressional Report Says According to Zero Hedge‚ Zhu reportedly was a key figure in China’s “military-civil fusion organizations.” Owner Of Chinese Biolab Busted In California Linked To CCP Military Program: House Report https://t.co/knb5kxpf71 — zerohedge (@zerohedge) November 16‚ 2023 Zhu was “a fugitive from Canada who illegally entered the United States” and had “previously stolen millions of dollars of American intellectual property‚” the congressional report said. Zero Hedge reports: Zhu‚ a PRC citizen‚ was reportedly a key figure in China’s “military-civil fusion organizations” – entities that blur the lines between civilian research and military applications. This strategy‚ according to the State Department‚ is part of the CCP’s grand vision to transform its People’s Liberation Army into a formidable global power by 2049. While the committee’s investigations unearthed Zhu’s extensive involvement in several PRC government-controlled companies‚ his activities in the U.S. under the alias “David He” and the discovery of dangerous materials in the unlicensed lab in Reedley‚ California‚ are particularly alarming. Here‚ officials found over 20 potentially infectious agents‚ including HIV and Malaria‚ and genetically engineered mice carrying COVID-19. Zhu’s confession of operating his companies to “further PRC policy” and meet demands of a PRC premier raises serious concerns about espionage and intellectual property theft. His history of operating companies in Canada‚ engaging in the massive theft of American cattle-related intellectual property‚ and fleeing to the U.S. after a $330 million judgment‚ only adds to the gravity of the situation. “While living in the PRC in the early 2000s‚ Zhu served as the Vice Chairman of a PRC state-controlled enterprise based in Xinjiang‚ Henan Pioneer Aide Biological Engineering Company Limited (“Pioneer Aide China”). PRC government entities exercised a controlling interest in Pioneer Aide China as beneficial owner as beneficial owners and shareholders through a series of passthrough joint venture companies‚ including Henan Investment Group Company Limited‚ a company involved in military-civil fusion for the PRC‚” the House Select Subcommittee on the CCP’s report stated. “Zhu also served as Chairman of the Board and General Manager of Aide Modern Cattle Industry (China) Company Limited (“Aide Cattle China”)‚ a company whose directors included an executive for a PRC defense firm and a company on the U.S. Entity List. Shareholders in Aide Cattle China include PRC state-controlled entities and individuals who have invested in other PRC state-controlled entities. Through Aide Cattle China‚ Zhu was the primary shareholder of 11 PRC cattle companies‚” it added. According to the report‚ a Canadian court “found Zhu and his co-conspirators guilty of civil IP theft‚ conspiracy‚ and other claims‚ issuing a $330 million judgment against them in June 2016. Zhu failed to appear before the court for sentencing‚ resulting in the judge issuing an arrest warrant for civil contempt of court‚ which carries a prison sentence of six months. Zhu then fled Canada.” “Jia Bei Zhu‚ the PRC citizen who operated the #Reedley #CCP lab‚ is a fugitive from Canada who’d ‘stolen millions of $ of IP from U.S. companies and was part of an ongoing transnational criminal enterprise.’ And Gavin Newsom still hasn’t said s**t about it‚” investigative journalist Jennifer Van Laar said. “#Reedley first referred the #CCP biolab matter to the FBI‚ and after 2 mos the FBI told her they closed the case because there were no weapons of mass destruction inside. It was being run by a PRC citizen who’s a fugitive from Canada‚ but the FBI wasn’t interested… and let’s not forget they had Zhu’s fingerprints ON FILE‚” she added. OMG. #Reedley first referred the #CCP biolab matter to the FBI‚ and after 2 mos the FBI told her they closed the case because there were no weapons of mass destruction inside It was being run by a PRC citizen who's a fugitive from Canada‚ but the FBI wasn't interested… and… pic.twitter.com/m78tTSbzjh — Jennifer Van Laar (@jenvanlaar) November 16‚ 2023 “And‚ there are vials whose contents are STILL unknown bc they were labeled in a code that we haven’t deciphered‚” she continued. “Holy CDC Coverup‚ Batman… they didn’t test samples AT ALL to confirm what was in them‚ just took the labels at face value — and then ensured there would be no sample left for #Reedley to test. Local officials had to guess at what the community might be exposed to‚” she added.
