Chinese Military-Linked Scientist Once Stationed in Winnipeg Creates Ebola Surrogate for Low-Safety Lab

A Chinese military-linked scientist who previously worked at Canada’s top biosafety laboratory has been involved in the engineering of a virus to replicate Ebola for conducting research in lower biosafety facilities. Researching deadly viruses in lower safety conditions in China’s laboratories has been among the points of concern raised by scientists in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yan Feihu, who spent time at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg under the supervision of fired scientists and married couple Xiangguo Qiu and Cheng Keding Cheng, is listed as an author on a recent paper by Chinese scientists outlining their Ebola-linked research....
