NextImg:Two Chinese Scientists Busted Smuggling Agroterror Weapon

As we saw with the COVID pandemic, Communist China could devastate us without the need for launching or fighting a conventional war. Conventional wars are for countries that play by some kinds of conventional rules. With China, all bets are off. We’ve already seen large scale information and cyberwarfare. With the pandemic, we saw biological warfare of one kind, but here’s a potentially different kind.

Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, citizens of the People’s Republic of China, were charged in a criminal complaint with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States

The FBI arrested Jian in connection with allegations related to Jian’s and Liu’s smuggling into America a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which scientific literature classifies as a potential agroterrorism weapon. This noxious fungus causes “head blight,” a disease of wheat, barley, maize, and rice, and is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year. Fusarium graminearum’s toxins cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock.

According to the complaint, Jian received Chinese government funding for her work on this pathogen in China. The complaint also alleges that Jian’s electronics contain information describing her membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party. It is further alleged that Jian’s boyfriend, Liu, works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same pathogen and that he first lied but then admitted to smuggling Fusarium graminearum into America—through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport—so that he could conduct research on it at the laboratory at the University of Michigan where his girlfriend, Jian, worked.

All the joint scientific research in America and the CCP, along with the presence of CCP nationals in scientific fields and functions in the United States is a ticking time bomb. And we may have just dudged an explosion.
