This book is the world's first and only multi-pathogen, multi-site net assessment on the CCP's high-risk
pathogen research programs and the involvement of the PLA. This book also assesses the strategic
implications of these operations
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has the most aggressive high-risk pathogen research programs in
the world. The CCP's programs extend well beyond SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 and include dangerous
work being done on Nipah/Henipavirus, H7N9, H5N1, H1N1, African Swine Flu Virus, Dengue and
Zika, etc. These programs spread across multiple locations in China with extensive international
linkages. Under the CCP system, there is no such thing as a purely civilian virology lab, especially those
that are of Biosafety Level-3/4 and are conducting high-risk research. These labs or institutes can be
brought under the control of the People's LiberationArmy (PLA) at any time, or have integrated PLA
units or departments as part of the whole operation.
