Is an agent whodunit causing U.S.-China relations to freeze?
Top Chinese spy Dong Jingwei (57) is believed to have defected to the US. He would be the highest-ranking Chinese defector to date. Dong was most recently deputy minister in the powerful Ministry of State Security (MSS).
The MSS not only coordinates surveillance of the Chinese population, but is also considered one of the most aggressive intelligence agencies in the world.
On June 17, the U.S. portal Daily Beast reported rumors that Dong had defected to the United States: As early as mid-February, the top spy had flown to the U.S. via Hong Kong together with his daughter.
There he allegedly handed over information about the Institute of Virology in Wuhan - the possible place of origin of the Corona pandemic.
The rumors of Dong's defection go back largely to Han Lianchao, who himself used to work in the Chinese Foreign Ministry before defecting to the United States.
According to him, Dong's defection was discussed at a summit meeting in March between Beijing and Washington: There, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi would have demanded the spy's return, but U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken refused. After the rumors became public, reports appeared in Chinese state media about an alleged appearance of Dong at a training course.
However, there is no proof of this, such as a photograph.
Background: A few days ago, U.S. President Biden ordered his intelligence services to once again make every effort to find out the origin of the Corona pandemic.
If Dong really unpacks, this could also throw a new light on the US top virologist Anthony Fauci (80). The latter had been contacted by his U.S. colleague Kristian Andersen on Jan. 31, 2020, according to e-mails: He himself and several other top virologists are convinced that the Corona virus did not originate naturally, but in the laboratory.
Three days after a joint conference call with Fauci, Andersen then rowed back: the data would clearly show that the virus did NOT originate in the laboratory ...
