(Corona) Fierce international conflict and mutual accusations of making a bacterial war

Having confirmed the spread of the Coronavirus around China and more than 123 countries around the world, the finger of accusation has begun to rotate between China and the United States of America.

 

According to the latest statistics of the World Health Organization, the virus has developed its symptoms on “134,153” people in the world, and 50,457 cases worldwide have died so far.

 

As the repercussions worsened as a result of the prevalence of this dangerous virus and the inability to reach a vaccine against it, conspiracy theories flourished.

 

The Chinese began accusing the United States of having spread the virus in the context of its economic war against their country, and it is within the history of a long-term “bacterial war” so it developed and spread this virus, as part of its efforts to undermine Chinese progress.

 

  The most serious accusation came from Chinese government spokesman Jing Shuang, who said last Thursday that US soldiers participating in the 2019 World Military Games in Wuhan had deliberately delivered the virus to the Hunan Seafood Market.

 

According to a blog posted on the website of “Jiefang Daily” (the official newspaper of the Shanghai Communist Party of China), “some experts from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” may be on a military mission “to spy on China’s capabilities in viral research.”

 

However, the Americans, for their part, blamed and accused China of being the cause of the spread of this virus as a result of its secret and continuous research in developing biological weapons over decades, and that the virus leaked from one of the laboratories it uses to produce biological weapons.

 

The US State Department summoned the Chinese ambassador to Washington, and an official said that David Stilwell, the top US diplomat for East Asian affairs, addressed a “strongly worded speech” to the Chinese ambassador to Washington Qi Tiankai, who took a “clear defensive stance“.

 

He added that China seeks to alleviate the international criticism directed at it for its role in “spreading the virus and hiding the matter from the world.”

 

Although both countries are parties to the Biological Weapons Convention, they still view each other with suspicion.

 

However, in 2007, Chinese military researchers published an article accusing the United States of “using new technologies to develop new biological weapons components”, and claiming that it was “very likely” that the anthrax spores used in the 2001 attacks on Democratic Senate offices had leaked from American military laboratories.

 

In the same context, previous reports of the US government claimed that China continued to possess “an offensive biological warfare capability based on technology developed prior to its accession to the Biological Weapons Convention.”

 

 

 

The same reports showed that by the 1990s China had manufactured a large variety of microorganisms and toxins and had a wide range of delivery methods available to target any country, including ballistic and Russian missiles.

 

As for Iran, which suffers from the repercussions of the spread of the virus, it tried to use this crisis by directing the international public opinion to the possibility of Washington being behind the spread of this virus and promoting the failure of the Iranian authorities to contain its repercussions and effective dealing with it.

 

While Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Majeed Takht Rouenji, affirmed the American ban that it impedes Iran’s efforts in combating the new Corona virus, indicating that international crises need real international efforts.

 

Venezuela, in turn, entered the line of accusations and the Venezuelan media quoted President Nicholas Maduro as saying that “the virus could be a strain invented for the purposes of biological warfare,” given that the United States, which appeared unable to contain the great Chinese progress, resorted to “an out-of-the-box solution”, This progress could be undermined, leaving Beijing “faltering” in an effort to contain the repercussions of the dangerous virus outbreak.

 

Meanwhile, the British newspaper “Daily Mail” said that three months before the spread of the virus in China, American health experts designed a simulation to identify the way the official authorities respond to the spread of this virus around the world, and they expect that it may lead to the death of about 65 million people. But the loudest voice that accused the United States of spreading the “Corona” virus in China was issued by the Russian deputy and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who described the “new Corona” virus as an “American provocation” for China.

 

The new virus, called the “Wuhan virus”, after the city from which it spread from December 2019, Geronovsky predicted to spread across the world, and virtually all continents, during a lecture at the Institute of World Civilizations in Moscow.

 

Gerinovsky placed the virus in the context of the current economic war between the United States and China, saying: “Americans fear that they will not be able to bypass China or at least remain on an equal footing with it.”

 

Biological weapon:

 

Biological weapon is defined as one of the unconventional weapons of mass destruction in history, which was previously called the “smart sanctions” weapon, which spreads epidemics and germs to eliminate the largest possible population and the environment.

There is a belief among war historians that the first use of biological warfare was in Athens in 430 BC, when the plague disease was exploited, as the French Encyclopedia Collier’s Encyclopedia says, that French soldiers may have used clothing for smallpox patients to spread the disease among Indians. The Aztecs, during the French war in Mexico, which left many victims ».

 

The Biological Weapons Convention was signed in 1972. However, there are indications that many countries are producing huge resources and establishing sustainable scientific mechanisms to develop biological warfare methods.

 

History of the two countries in developing biological weapons:

 

– USA:

 

During World War II the United States developed biological weapons and there were many factors and laws for the use of biological weapons on the battlefield, they do not become immediately active, they are sensitive to environmental conditions and meteorology, and can cause pollution of the region for a longer period than intended.

 

However, the United States continued to stockpile and develop biological weapons until the post-war era.

 

Matthew Mizelson, a biologist at Harvard University, led a successful campaign against the development of biological weapons that began in the early 1960s.

 

China:

 

Compared to the United States, China came too late to the game, often representing the recipient of the destruction of germs, as the Japanese imperial army used them against them during World War II.

 

As a result, China felt the imperative to build research facilities dedicated to “defensive” biological warfare.

 

In August 1951, Premier Zhou Enlai created the Academy of Military Medical Sciences (AMMS) to conduct research in biological defense.

 

 

 

In light of the prevalence of these mutual accusations, the world public opinion remains confused and cautious in the face of the spread of the virus and how to prevent and get rid of it.

 

Or is it the promotion of a new global drug drug, as it happens every time a new virus is discovered, such as bird flu, swine and SARS, which are marketing means, stock exchange and numbers that are stimulated by diseases.
