The US Department of Defense (DOD) released on Thursday a review of biological threats. The inaugural DoD Biodefense Posture Review, in particular, labels China as the key long-term threat due to its developments in the field of biological weapons, which allegedly pose a threat to the US's security. The US often fabricates reports on so-called threats for geopolitical purposes "to deter and suppress other countries, to protect its hegemonic interests," the diplomat said, adding that thus Washington provokes confrontation and damages the global biosecurity management system. China supports the international community in reviewing how the US is complying with the Biological Weapons Convention, as well as calls on the US to effectively fulfill its international obligations, Wang said.Earlier, China has already urged the United States to explain its military-biological activities abroad and observe its international obligations.In March, Russian and China issued a joint statement on the military biological activities conducted by the United States."The parties express serious concern about the military biological activities of the United States of America, carried out on their territory and beyond its borders, which pose a serious threat to the security of other states and entire regions, demand that the United States provide clarifications on this matter and not carry out any biological activities that contradict this Convention, as well as not hinder the establishment of a mechanism for verifying compliance with obligations under this Convention," the statement read.In early March 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defense released information indicating that the United States was deploying an extensive biological research program in Ukraine. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the US has spent more than $200 million on 46 biological laboratories in Ukraine that participated in the US military biological program.According to Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, one of the priority tasks of the Ukrainian laboratories was to collect and send to the United States strains of pathogens of dangerous infectious diseases - cholera, anthrax, tularemia, and others. At the same time, the transportation of the pathogens was not controlled within the WHO, BWC, or other international institutions, and various biological agents and substances were tested on Ukrainian military personnel, indigent citizens, and patients of mental hospitals.According to Russia, the United States, under the guise of scientific activities and efforts to improve laboratory security systems, has been developing biological weapons in Ukraine.

US Engaged in Biomilitary Activity More Than Any Other Country in World - Beijing
11:01 GMT 18.08.2023 (Updated: 14:49 GMT 18.08.2023) BEIJING (Sputnik) - The United States is engaged in biomilitary activity more than any other country in the world, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Friday, commenting on the Pentagon's recent report on biological threats.
The US Department of Defense (DOD) released on Thursday a review of biological threats. The inaugural DoD Biodefense Posture Review, in particular, labels China as the key long-term threat due to its developments in the field of
biological weapons, which allegedly pose a threat to the US's security.
"As we all know, it is the United States that carries out the most biomilitary activities in the world, carries out the most actions that raise doubts," Wang told reporters.
The US often fabricates reports on so-called threats for geopolitical purposes "to deter and suppress other countries, to protect its hegemonic interests," the diplomat said, adding that thus Washington provokes confrontation and damages the global biosecurity management system.
China supports the international community in reviewing how the US is complying with the Biological Weapons Convention, as well as calls on the US to effectively fulfill its international obligations, Wang said.

Earlier, China
has already urged the United States to explain its military-biological activities abroad and observe its international obligations.
"We reiterate our calls on the United States to faithfully observe their international obligations and provide comprehensive explanations on its military-biological activity within the country and abroad," Wang Wenbin told journalists on April 12.
In March, Russian and China issued a joint statement on the military biological activities conducted by the United States.
"The parties express serious concern about the military biological activities of the United States of America, carried out on their territory and beyond its borders, which pose a serious threat to the security of other states and entire regions, demand that the United States provide clarifications on this matter and not carry out any biological activities that contradict this Convention, as well as not hinder the establishment of a mechanism for verifying compliance with obligations under this Convention," the statement read.

In early March 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defense released information indicating that the United States
was deploying an extensive biological research program in Ukraine. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the US has spent more than $200 million on 46 biological laboratories in Ukraine that participated in the US military biological program.
According to Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, one of the priority tasks of the Ukrainian laboratories was to collect and send to the United States strains of pathogens of
dangerous infectious diseases - cholera, anthrax, tularemia,
and others. At the same time, the transportation of the pathogens was not controlled within the WHO, BWC, or other international institutions, and various
biological agents and substances were tested on Ukrainian military personnel, indigent citizens, and patients of mental hospitals.
According to Russia, the United States, under the guise of scientific activities and efforts to improve laboratory security systems,
has been developing biological weapons in Ukraine.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the US Department of Defense controls 336 biolaboratories in 30 countries around the world. In this regard, the issue of US-led biological research is of great concern to China, and this information provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense immediately resonated in the country.
