#1 Somewhat related and possibly interesting (note article date):

WASHINGTON - Iraq's bioweapons program that President Bush wants to eradicate got its start with help from the United States two decades ago, according to government records getting new scrutiny in light of the discussion of war against Iraq.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent samples directly to several Iraqi sites that United Nations weapons inspectors determined were part of Saddam Hussein's biological weapons program, CDC and congressional records from the early 1990s show.

Iraq had ordered the samples, claiming it needed them for legitimate medical research.

The CDC and a biological sample company, American Type Culture Collection, sent strains of all the germs Iraq used to make weapons, including anthrax, the bacteria that make botulinum toxin and the germs that cause gas gangrene, the records show. Iraq also got samples of other deadly pathogens, including West Nile virus.

The transfers came in the 1980s, when the United States supported Iraq in its war with Iran. They were detailed in a 1994 Senate Banking Committee report and a 1995 follow-up letter from the CDC to the Senate.

#2 Like modifying a coronavirus, Ebola, Sickle Cell, AIDS, or any race focused genetic disease to be < 1/5 deadly swift and easily spread transmitted like a cold. Then focusing on threat areas, areas for take over and planned colonization.

So would the CCP target be the Middle East or Africa?

#3 Re #2: Target? Consider who is their primary competition - it ain't Africa, nor the Mid East.

#5 #3 ^
Why would the CCP attack the USA, a major customer/consumer/supporter of their produced items and a country they hold $2+TRILLION of the USA National debt on?

Then ask how likely is this USA Admin to retaliate.
If the CCP had "another lab-bat accident" and the population of the lower half of Africa started to die off due to a "new" strain of something getting loose that primarily targets that population?

#7 aside from the scientific challenge of constructing a race specific virus there is the problem of virus mutating

given how China has handled the problem of Covid within its border, you have to wonder how many standard deviations of insane they would have to be to build this out

#8 China building Bio Weapon that can target people based on race.

I'll make it easy for 'em to target French Canadians like myself - fentanyl-laced Labatt's and sheet rock.

You think so because you grew up in a more or less capitalist society, where win-win is the ultimate goal. They think themselves the inevitable successor to the decadent American state, making a short, sharp war that they naturally win the necessary in-between stage.
