3 min read

Amidst the rising scrutiny over the potential of leakage of Coronavirus from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, experiences have now emerged concerning the defection of a high Chinese official to the United States.
In February this yr, China’s high counter-intelligence official Dong Jingwei reportedly flew to the US from Hong Kong together with his daughter. The improvement was confirmed by a former high Chinese Ministry official named Dr. Han Lianchao, who had defected to the States after the Tiananmen Square bloodbath in 1989. A professional-democracy activist within the US, Dr. Han mentioned that the defection of Dong was mentioned by high Chinese and US officers throughout a gathering in Alaska in May.
According to him, the request to ship Dong Jingwei again was turned down by State Secretary Anthony Blinken. Interestingly, the highest regulation enforcement of China i.e. Central Political Legal Affairs Commission had posted on social media about Dong Jingwei’s supposed warning to ‘anti-China’ forces. It alleged that Dong had directed spies to look out for ‘insiders’ who ‘bankroll’ their actions behind the scenes.
Reportedly, the lab leak principle for Covid-19 was taken critically by the Biden administration after Dong Jingwei defected to USA. It is believed that Dong might have handed over proof on the Wuhan lab leak principle to the USA, which prompted the U-turn by President Joe Biden as he ordered a probe on the matter. Originally, the influential left-win media and the Democrats had dismissed the chance that the virus might have originated within the lab, terming it as a conspiracy principle by Donald Trump.
Dong Jingwei was the vice minister of State safety and the alleged defection has made him essentially the most influential Chinese official to take action. It is believed that the defection of Dong Jingwei and the data shared concerning the Wuhan Institute of Virology had prompted the incumbent US President to alter his stance on the origins of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
US govt eager on encouraging defections of Chinese officers
While talking concerning the matter, a former US authorities official remarked, “If you offer $5 million (€4.2m) and citizenship there will be plenty of people wanting to defect. We’ve been sitting on our asses for a year and a half looking for needles in haystacks. We need human intelligence. We need to hear from Chinese people who were direct witnesses. Then you’re off to the races. We have a lot of reason to be suspicious that it was a lab leak. We should be treating this like a potential crime scene.”
He additional added, “I’ve never seen a bigger whitewash. China’s approach has been systematic cover-up and denial. If this had started in a lab in Oxford you can bet the UK government would be responsive to us. People get executed for (messing up) in China. So it is possible the Wuhan people covered it up from their own government.” The official had labored on the Wuhan lab leak hypotheses beneath the Donald Trump administration.
Jingwei’s defection is a hearsay, claims specialists
However, a number of different US officers have expressed skepticism over experiences of Dong Jingwei’s defection. According to former CIA knowledgeable Nicholas Eftimiades, the alleged defection is a ‘rumour’. He claimed that experiences of defection of Chinese officers floor on a regular basis (as a part of info warfare) and that it might not be appropriate. Senior Intelligence Analyst (Soufan Group) Molliw Saltskog emphasised that unconfirmed experiences of defection floor commonly.
However, on June 4, pro-Trump web site Red State had reported about an unnamed defector from China and that the Defense Intelligence Agency had obtained inputs about China concealing the analysis on organic warfare within the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The web site had questioned the integrity of Dr. Anthony Fauci and mentioned that the defector’s info has put him beneath the highlight.
