‘New’ Chinese Military Paper on Weaponizing Coronaviruses West Should Respond With Defensive Decoupling and End to STEM Cooperation With China
Commentary
On May 7, The Australian revealed the existence of a Chinese military paper from 2015 that discusses the weaponization of SARS coronaviruses. COVID-19 is the disease caused by a SARS coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2.
Given 6.9 million COVID-19 deaths globally and counting, such military-scientific musings are the height of irresponsibility and should be decisively countered through new sanctions against China’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) researchers.
In the paper, Chinese military scientists and senior Chinese “public health” officials predict that World War III, if it comes, will be decided by new biological weapons. We are no longer in the age of gunpowder or nuclear weapons. The future of war is biological, they argue.

Chinese military scientists allegedly investigated weaponising coronaviruses five years before the COVID-19 pandemic and may have predicted a World War III fought with biological weapons, according to media reports referring to documents obtained by the US State Department.
According to The Sun newspaper in the UK, quoting reports first released by The Australian , the bombshell documents obtained by the US State Department reportedly show the Chinese People s Liberation Army (PLA) commanders making the sinister prediction.
