Deadly virus from China: United States take strong action!
Evidence also indicates Jian had expressed loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party and had received funding from the Chinese government for similar work on this pathogen in China.
By: Tupaki Desk | 4 Jun 2025 9:08 PM ISTIt is already known that China faces a lot of criticism and negative feedback for having originated the Covid virus, which eventually became a pandemic and created huge unrest across the globe.
Coming to the topic. Now the federal bureau of investigation in the United States has communicated news about a possible infiltration and a conspiracy to carry a deadly virus into the country.
The individual, Yunqing Jian, is alleged to have smuggled a dangerous fungus called "Fusarium graminearum," which is an agroterrorism agent, into the U.S. to research at the University of Michigan, where she works.
This fungus can cause a disease called "head blight," a disease of wheat, barley, maize, and rice, causing significant health issues in both humans and livestock. It is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year.
Evidence also indicates Jian had expressed loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party and had received funding from the Chinese government for similar work on this pathogen in China.
Jian’s boyfriend, Zunyong Liu also charged in the complaint works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same pathogen. Liu is alleged to have first lied, then admitted, to also smuggling Fusarium graminearum into America—through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport—so that he too could conduct research the University of Michigan.
Both individuals have been charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States, false statements, and visa fraud. Case has been filed and related investigation is underway now.
