China is constantly giving modern weapons to Pakistan, which remains a possibility of being used against India.

Now a new revelation has emerged that under the guise of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), they are working on making bioweapons. Australia’s news website Klaxon has claimed that these weapons have been manufactured for the past 5 years and the entire game includes the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology for the coronavirus.

According to the report, Wuhan’s lab has been assigned the responsibility of this entire project. Anthony Klan’s report claimed that Wuhan scientists have been doing research on dangerous viruses in Pakistan since 2015

This research is mainly related to turning the virus into a weapon. Apart from this, a part of the deal that China-Pakistan has done has been kept secret because it is related to biological weapons.

China and Pakistan have signed a three-year secret deal to increase the capacity of bio-warfare and work has also started on it.
6 / 11
The program is being entirely funded by China which is no surprise after all Pakistan is largely funded by China. The deal allows China to conduct tests on biological agents outside its borders - in Pakistan.

According to the report, it is a covert deal hidden from the world. There's a secret facility in Pakistan which runs several research projects related to deadly pathogens. Pathogens like anthrax which has been used as a bioweapon.

Klan said the intention of the project is 'opposite of noble' as creating a covert research facility allows China to conduct dangerous experiments out of public view, so, when the facility is on foreign land that too in a Chinese colony like Pakistan, Beijing can evade responsibility when something goes wrong.

Klan said they have learned their lesson from the Wuhan virus.
10 / 11
The pathogens are being tested in labs that have a lower safety level. In science biosafety level four is considered as the highest level of biosafety precautions. Fatal diseases that can easily transmit should only be tested in biosafety four facilities.
11 / 11
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has biosafety level four and yet, there were questions about its safety and the standards it followed. Reports say Pakistan is carrying out the research in labs that are not equipped to handle dangerous viruses.One way or the other, it's a disaster waiting to happen, if they make a bioweapon, it's a huge threat, if a safety breach takes place, it's a threat to the world.
