Excerpt: “That Beijing has been a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) since 1973 matters little to a regime that disdains Western and even international legal norms. Biotechnology by contrast with expensive, advanced military weapons systems is low-cost, easier to conceal or explain away, and “efficient” on a deadly, global scale. Further, the BWC really has no serious enforcement mechanism, aside from taking complaints to the UN Security Council (where China has veto power). In this way, China’s unrestricted bioweapons program is perfect for its civilian-military fusion model.”
