The Trump administration is considering labeling China’s oppression of Uighur Muslims in the western Xinjiang province “genocide,” Politico reports.

Tensions between the United States and China have increased in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, disagreements about trade and Hong Kong’s autonomy. An accusation of genocide would inflame those tensions further.

The White House National Security Council condemned China’s actions in the Xinjiang province on Tuesday.

“Beijing’s atrocities against the Uighurs include horrific acts against women including forced abortion, forced sterilization and other coercive birth control methods, state-sponsored forced labor, sexual violence including through rape in detention, compulsory home-stays by Han officials, and forced marriages,” John Ullyot, a National Security Council spokesperson, told Fox News in a statement. “The Chinese Communist Party’s atrocities also include the largest incarceration of an ethnic minority since World War II.”

A June report by Adrian Zenz for the Jamestown Foundation argued that Beijing started a campaign of mass sterilizations and forced family separations among Uighurs in 2017 to decrease their natural population growth.

“These findings raise serious concerns as to whether Beijing’s policies in Xinjiang represent, in fundamental respects, what might be characterized as a demographic campaign of genocide per the text of Section D, Article II of the U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide,” Zenz wrote.

Last month, the Trump administration imposed sanctions and visa restrictions on multiple Chinese Communist Party officials believed to be responsible for human rights abuses in the Xinjiang province. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said those abuses “include forced labor, arbitrary mass detention, and forced population control, and attempts to erase their culture and Muslim faith.”

據Gateway Pundit 8月25日報道，中共在2019年底向世界投放了CCP病毒，隨後以武漢人民的痛苦為代價，用假病毒數據讓其他國家效仿他們在武漢的鐵腕抗疫政策，以達到讓世界經濟崩塌的目的。

一位支持香港運動的美國人麥克·星克(Michael Senger)在推特上用一連串的推文點出了這個陰謀。

中共的宣傳工具主要是西方的社交媒體

意大利是這個陰謀的首要目標。早在三月份，中共利用社交媒體鋪天蓋地地為鐵腕抗疫政策（中共不顧死活，強行把老百姓困在家裡的做法）做宣傳，並在感染數據上造假，讓世界相信這個做法的有效性。中共知道，只要意大利效仿中國的抗疫模式，封鎖國家和經濟，其他國家也會效仿!

中共展開的社交媒體戰，不僅限於意大利。中共滲透了推特，並利用其在社交媒體上歌頌中共國的抗疫政策，讓全世界政府繼續實行封鎖式限制令(lock-down)。

麥克在推特上貼出了一篇有14萬人點讚的推文，推文上歌頌中共國在疫情中的表現。麥克指出，點讚的14萬人中，大部分是假的推特用戶。這些假用戶行動高度一致，之前在推特上轟炸的主要課題是病毒疫情，隨後在喬治·弗羅伊(George Floyd)事件和黑人抗議(BLM)事件期間，也步調一致地在社交媒體上大量轉推這些事件和相關課題。

紐約時報在6月18日的一篇報道中（原文https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/08/technology/china-twitter-disinformation.html）對這個現象進行剖析。文章出來後，推特公司封鎖了超過17萬個疑似中共特務的推特賬戶。麥克認為，這些賬戶肯定只是冰山一角！中共利用推特對全世界進行超限戰已經屢見不鮮。這場超限戰在社交媒體上的影響力是巨大的，到現在每天還在發生。

中共用榮譽和金錢滲透西方科學界

Some 54 scientists have resigned or been fired as a result 

of an ongoing investigation by the National Institutes of Health 

into the failure of NIH grantees to disclose financial ties to 

foreign governments. For 93% of the 189 scientists whom 

NIH has investigated to date, China was the source of their 

undisclosed support.

The new numbers come from Michael Lauer, NIH’s head of extramural research. Lauer had previously provided some information on the scope of NIH’s investigation, which had targeted 189 scientists at 87 institutions. But his presentation today to a senior advisory panel offered by far the most detailed breakout of an effort NIH launched in August 2018 that has roiled the U.S. biomedical community, and resulted in criminal charges against some prominent researchers, including Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University’s department of chemistry and chemical biology.

“It’s not what we had hoped, and it’s not a fun task,” NIH Director Francis Collins said in characterizing the ongoing investigation. He called the data “sobering.”

In the vast majority of cases, Lauer reported, the person being investigated has been an Asian man in his 50s. Some three-quarters of those under investigation had active NIH grants, and nearly half had at least two grants. The 285 active grants totaled $164 million.

Lauer also presented data on the nature of the violations that NIH has uncovered. Some 70% (133) of the researchers had failed to disclose to NIH the receipt of a foreign grant, and 54% had failed to disclose participation in a foreign talent program. In contrast, Lauer said, only 9% hid ties to a foreign company, and only 4% had an undisclosed foreign patent. Some 5% of cases involved a violation of NIH’s peer-review system.

Lauer said the fact that 82% of those being investigated are Asian “is not surprising” because “that’s who the Chinese target” in their foreign talent recruitment programs. Some 82% are men, and their median age is 56, with the youngest being 48 and the oldest 59. Slightly more than one-half had been an NIH peer reviewer in the past 2 years, and 41% of those under investigation (77 scientists) have been barred by their institutions from submitting a grant proposal to NIH or serving as a principal investigator on an NIH award.

NIH has been in the forefront of federal efforts to identify and block behavior that many U.S. government officials say poses a significant threat to the country’s economic well-being and to national security. Several bills pending in Congress seek to limit that threat in various ways, including by limiting the flow of scientific talent from China to the United States, and by restricting access to federally funded research that provides a foundation for cutting-edge technologies and new industries.

Lauer’s presentation also provided a glimpse into the scope of that broader investigation. There are 399 scientists “of possible concern” to NIH, he told the advisory council, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has fingered 30% (121) of them. An additional 44 have been flagged by their own institutions. Of that pool, Lauer said, investigations into 63%, or 256 scientists, came out “positive.” Investigations into some 19% came up “negative,” he noted, whereas the status of the remaining 18% is “pending.”

*Correction, 19 June, 1:15 p.m.: This story has been revised to clarify the pool of scientists who have failed to disclose financial support from foreign sources and the actions that their institutions have taken.

The National Institutes of Health is requiring a small nonprofit research organization to take unusual—and perhaps impossible—steps to end a controversial suspension of an NIH grant related to bat coronavirus research in China. NIH’s conditions for reinstating the funding to the EcoHealth Alliance are “outrageous,” former NIH Director Harold Varmus told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in an article published today that first reported the agency’s demands.

The controversy began in April, after President Donald Trump complained about NIH’s grant to the EcoHealth Alliance because it involved researchers at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Conservative commentators, Trump, and Trump administration officials have asserted, without evidence, that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 escaped from WIV. Shortly after Trump’s complaint, NIH abruptly canceled the grant, stating that its goal of studying bat coronavirus spillovers into humans did not “align with … agency priorities.” NIH’s move drew extensive criticism from the scientific community.

據《科學》雜誌網站近日發表文章稱，前美國國家衛生研究院（NIH） 院長哈羅德·瓦爾姆斯（Harold Varmus）通過《華爾街日報》向外界透露，NIH向一家名為生態健康聯盟（EcoHealth Alliance）的非盈利機構提出，該機構要想重新獲得NIH提供的中共病毒研究經費，必須滿足一些苛刻條件，而瓦爾姆斯稱NIH的條件“簡直令人髮指”。

今年4月，美國川普總統對NIH撥款給生態健康聯盟表示不滿，因為生態健康聯盟機構有來自中共武漢病毒實驗室（WIV）的學者，NIH隨後取消了對該機構的撥款，理由是該機構旨在證明中共病毒是由蝙蝠傳染給人類的研究與NIH優先撥款的條件不符。NIH的這一決定立刻遭到來自科學界的抨擊和指責。保守黨評論家們、川普及其內閣官員堅持中共病毒是武漢病毒實驗室泄露，但科學界顯然對此持有異議。

上個月，NIH的院外研究處副主任邁克爾·勞爾（Michael Lauer）致信給生態健康聯盟，表示NIH正在考慮恢復該項撥款，但在生態健康聯盟完成NIH所要求事項以前，撥款還會繼續被擱置。《科學內幕》（Science Insider ）獨立查閱了這封NIH7月8日的信件副本，列出了NIH對生態健康的要求如下：1）生態健康聯盟必須提供武漢病毒實驗室用於確定中共病毒基因序列的病毒樣本；2） 生態健康聯盟必須對武漢病毒實驗室進行外部調查，同時核查武漢病毒實驗室記錄，特別是要查明武漢病毒實驗室員工是否在2019年12月份之前就已經擁有SARS-CoV-2樣本；3）生態健康聯盟必須對武漢病毒實驗室區域發生的一些現象進行解釋，包括2019年10月份實驗室周圍手機流量下降的原因，以及為什麼有證據顯示10月14日至19日期間實驗室周邊被設置了路障。4）生態健康聯盟必須向NIH提供武漢病毒實驗室對美國國務院2018年發出的有關安全問題電文的回應。

NIH拒絕了外界對勞爾和現任院長弗朗西斯·柯林斯（Francis Collins）的採訪請求，並在一份聲明中表示，NIH不與外界討論有關特定撥款的內部審議問題。生態健康聯盟則在一份聲明中指責NIH對撥款的再次擱置是嚴重阻礙了科學研究。5月份，77個諾貝爾獎獲得者聯名給NIH現任院長柯林斯寫信，要求重新審核取消撥款的理由，其中的一位科學家對《華爾街日報》說，“這些條件令人難以接受，該撥款已經被同行仔細評估並通過，這項研究將解決目前世界所面對的最嚴重的問題之一，即病毒如何由動物傳染給人類。” 生態健康聯盟主席彼得·達薩克（Peter Daszak）則利用《科學內幕》採訪的機會向柯林斯叫板，他指責稱，“生物科學不應被政治所左右。我認為這是個錯誤。柯林斯先生一遇到阻力就屈服了，白宮一施壓他就讓步了。” 曾經於2003年至2011年在NIH分支機構美國國家綜合醫學研究所（National Institute of General Medical Sciences）任所長的傑里米·伯格（Jeremy Berg）則指責柯林斯是一個唯川普總統馬首是瞻的政客。

評：從這篇報道中我們可以明顯地看出科學界已被中共嚴重影響和滲透，完全為中共站台。英雄科學家閆博士已經向世界揭露了中共病毒實驗室來源真相，如果美國以及世界各國的科學家還在竭力往病毒來自自然界動物身上的話，唯一解釋就是他們已被中共深度藍金黃，打着科學的幌子為中共的生物武器洗地。科學研究和探索為人類進步服務，應該獨立於政治意識形態。中共數十年來通過各種桌下手段，腐化拉攏各個領域最前沿的權威科學家，破壞了科學和科學家的信譽和獨立。這一次中共病毒肆虐全球，希望能重新喚醒人類的良知，重樹正確的科學精神。
