Illegal Chinese Bio Lab Discovered in Central California
By Susie Moore
July 28, 2023
Reedley is a small city in California’s San Joaquin Valley, just east of Fresno. But a troubling discovery there in early March has recently come to light — and raises a number of questions. It began with a garden hose attached illegally to a warehouse near the center of town. The building was supposed to be vacant. When code enforcement officers from the city went to investigate, they discovered that it was in use and observed several code violations.
“It was pretty clear right off the bat that something was going on we didn’t have a business license for,” Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba said. “They didn’t have any city approvals; that building was supposed to be vacant.”
Zieba said the officers left the property because they did not have a warrant. The suspicious garden hose coupled with numerous building code violations led officers to declare the site unsafe. The city posted “Unsafe to Occupy” signs around the property and ordered individuals on site to leave. They then called the Fresno County Department of Public Health (FCDPH).
That’s where things took a really strange turn:
That phone call launched an investigation that would eventually involve the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FBI, the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the State Department of Health, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and FCDPH, and would lead to the discovery of a lab that had been operating illegally in the city since October 2022. For FCDPH Director David Luchini and FCDPH Assistant Director Joe Prado, the amount of biological materials and chemicals – over 800 – found at the lab was a first.

An onsite representative for Prestige, Wang Zhaolin, told investigators that mice were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Due to the conditions, the mice were euthanized.
Unsurprisingly, the facility wasn’t properly licensed and was improperly disposing of waste.

How long until this story disappears on order of the Big Guy? The Chicoms don't pay him for nothing, and another Covid hysteria operation just in time for the election is what both Biden and the Chicoms want.

From May 2 through May 4, the CDC’s Division of Select Agents and Toxins inspected 850 I Street. Court documents confirm the CDC found potentially infectious agents at the location. These included both bacterial and viral agents, including: chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.
Were they really making Covid tests or secretly learning how to infect a cities' underground with rats that would infect the populace of a country China hates. Rats are probable the best spreaders of disease next to fleas.

CDC detects coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis and herpes at unlicensed California lab
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officials-believe-fresno-warehouse-was-site-illegal-laboratory-rcna96756 (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officials-believe-fresno-warehouse-was-site-illegal-laboratory-rcna96756)
Local and federal authorities spent months investigating a warehouse in Fresno County, California, that they suspect was home to an illegal, unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials.
The Fresno County Public Health Department has been "evaluating and assessing the activities of an unlicensed laboratory" in Reedley, the health department's assistant director, Joe Prado, said in a statement Thursday. All of the biological agents were destroyed by July 7 following a legal abatement process by the agency.
...
An investigation found the tenant was Prestige BioTech, a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with Xiuquin Yao, who was identified as the company president, through emails included in the court documents.
Yao told officials that Prestige BioTech moved assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc., to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went under. Prestige Biotech was a creditor to UMI and identified as its successor, according to court documents.
I've not worked in a medical lab, but I'm pretty sure that the pictures in that article are nothing like an actual active research lab. In fact, it very much looks like what Xiuquin Yao said it was, the warehoused assets from another defunct company. Improperly stored, obviously, but so stacked and cluttered and cardboard-boxed up that work also obviously was pretty much physically impossible.
Speaking of Xiuquin Yao, has anyone bothered to try to learn whether he is from China? Or maybe from Taiwan instead? Or maybe from Malaysia (to which many Chinese people fled in the late 1930s)? Or maybe from Indonesia (to which many Chinese people fled in the late 1930s)? Perhaps this whole story is Chinese family name equals CCP operative stereotyping?

@PeteS in CA I have worked in lots of labs installing equipment, furniture and doing repairs From Scripps cancer center and others in La Jolla San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Irvine and most Universities from San Diego, Santa Barbara and inland so I have a pretty good idea what a school lab and research lab looks like but I'm not seeing any pictures of the lab, what am I missing?

WOW: Secret unlicensed Chinese biolab raided in California, CDC found infectious viral agents such as malaria, rubella, HIV, chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis, and herpes.
The lab also had 900 genetically engineered mice living in ‘inhumane’ conditions with another 175 found dead.
Most the boxes and material found had addresses coming from China, and the company that owned this warehouse had main offices in China.

Is that all they're releasing, one epoxy top work station with several different gas type fixtures and an unorganized warehouse? Where are the Laboratory consumables, reagents, test tubes and laboratory equipment - biological fume hood, incubator, autoclave, bonanza, heating facilities such as pallets, shakers, balances, biological microscope, cooling systems: freezer, refrigerator, cryogenic tank, cold storage systems, liquid treatment - pipettes , Centrifuges, peristaltic pumps and analyzers ... ?
There is an awful lot they aren't showing and I have to question why, is so it's easier to memory hole this Chicom bio warfare research on American soil? More support from the Big Guy for payment received?

Well, there's an election coming up. Wouldn't want the masses to have a clue what a real biolab looks like, now would they? Some stray delivery person might tip off the masses before the 2024 bug can get out.

So dang scary I don't even know where to start.

If China is our number one enemy, why do we have any Chinese nationals in the USA? Including the folks we are educating to destroy America at our universities.
And it is NOT just Biden, but all the presidents and Congresses since Nixon that have laid down and let the Chinese take over our country. Inexcusable and criminal in my mind.

Just saw this on Twitter:@pepesgrandma
🔥Huge!
Now we know why China is buying land next to US military bases!
The Biden administration is hunting for malicious computer code it believes China has hidden deep inside the networks controlling power grids, communications systems and water supplies that feed military bases in the United States and around the world.
The first public hints of the malware campaign began to emerge in late May, when Microsoft said it had detected mysterious computer code in telecommunications systems in Guam, the Pacific island with a vast American air base, and elsewhere in the United States.

MY bet is that the ability to intercept communications, including drone command/control, imaging, weapons systems, and, for that matter, ANY systems and insert back doors, hijack or suicide commands, would pretty much end conflict before it began. Grand Forks stopped the Chinese project there, but how many others are out there? Did the spy balloons act as a relay system to get weak signals to space to be relayed back to other ChiCom systems?
You can't tell me the NSA/NRO didn't intercept the transmissions from the balloon.
Or is that what the CCP has been paying the Biden Administration for. Willful intelligence ignorance on a level the average American cell phone user does not have.

Illegal Chinese Bio Lab With COVID, HIV and Other ‘Infectious Agents’ Found in CA
"The other addresses were either empty offices or addresses in China"

It’s not just open borders. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, we’re a wild west for massive fraud, terrorism, experimentation, influence operations, drugs, human trafficking and anything they want.
Illegal bio labs? Sure, why not.
Local and federal authorities spent months investigating a warehouse in Fresno County, California, that they suspect was home to an illegal, unlicensed laboratory full of lab mice, medical waste and hazardous materials.
“Certain rooms of the warehouse were found to contain several vessels of liquid and various apparatus,” court documents said. “Fresno County Public Health staff also observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material.”

Why was a Chinese company making COVID-19 tests in California?
Where were these tests to be used? California public health agencies? Medical groups and hospitals?
Is the California Department of Public Health involved?
Who authorized this lab?
What does the Newsom administration know about this?

So the story is transmogrifying from this warehouse being a super-sophisticated bio-lab the facility, town, local electric grid, and local transportation could not possibly support (that was found by accident???), to some sort of super-sophisticated electronic spy station the facility, town, local electric grid, and local transportation could not possibly support? *****rollingeyes*****
A simple look at GoogMaps or Mapquest (yes, it still exists) would show anyone willing to see it that this town is half way to the middle of nowhere, does not have the highway or rail access necessary to bring in loads of medical lab or electronic surveillance equipment, does not have the housing necessary for the sizable staff necessary for either kind of facility, and does not have the power grid necessary to support either kind of facility. Further, the idea that moving in that much equipment and staff could go unnoticed and only be discovered because of a garden hose being where none would be expected is simply ludicrously absurd!

Illegal Chinese biolab was subsidized by Gavin Newsom
David Strom
3:21 PM on August 03, 2023... We aren’t talking about some sterile, well-controlled biological research facility that hadn’t kept up with all its paperwork.
No, this was a hidden lab piled with chemicals, boxes, refrigerators with chemicals and 20 deadly viruses, and genetically engineered mice that had been bred to catch and spread human viruses like COVID-19. It was in an ostensibly abandoned warehouse, and when the inspectors showed up the lab equipment had been hastily turned off before whoever was working there disappeared.
The power was off, but the freezers were still cold. People disappeared quickly, leaving behind a lot of documents in Chinese and a “President” who is available only by email from China. The president claimed the lab was merely storing defunct equipment, but there were live genetically engineered mice and the viruses stored in freezers. ...
The latest twist to all this is that the company that originally owned the equipment before it was acquired by the current “owner,” Prestige Biotech, was named Universal Meditech, and Universal Meditech was subsidized by Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development. ...

Secret biological lab in Reedley shut down by health authorities over safety concerns
by Rich Rodriguez
Wed, July 26th 2023, 9:24 PM EDT
We are learning more about a biological lab in Reedley that's been shut down by the Fresno County Department of Public Health.
From October 2022 until spring 2023 this warehouse at 850 I Street in Reedley was operating a biological lab.
It was a well-kept secret. After seeing signs of activity there the City of Reedley asked the county department of public health to investigate.
"Just a significant amount of 36 refrigerator freezers located on site and there were a lot of biological agents. So there was a lot of contents of blood, serum, everything that a biological lab would normally have," said Joe Prado, Assistant Director for the Fresno County Public Health. ...

Pathogens labeled ‘HIV’ and ‘Ebola’ found inside secret, illegal Chinese-owned biolab in California
By Social Links forVictor Nava
Published Nov. 16, 2023, 1:28 a.m. ET
Thousands of vials of biological substances — including some labeled “HIV” — and a freezer marked “Ebola” were found inside a secret Chinese-owned biolab in California which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FBI initially refused to investigate, according to a House committee report released Wednesday.
The illegal lab was operated in the city of Reedley, Calif., and the potential public safety risk it posed only came to light in December 2022 when Jesalyn Harper, an observant code enforcement officer, noticed a green garden hose sticking out of a hole in the side of a warehouse that was thought to be vacant for more than a decade.
Once inside, Harper discovered laboratory equipment, manufacturing devices, medical-grade freezers, lab mice and vials labeled in Mandarin, English and in a code that remains undeciphered.
She also encountered several individuals in lab coats who identified themselves as Chinese nationals.

Jim Costa's Forward: FOREWORD
BY CONGRESSMAN JIM COSTA
As the Representative of California’s 21stCongressional District, I am proud to represent the city of Reedley. Located southeast of Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley, Reedley is a rural community of about 26,000 people, known as the Fruit Basket of the World due to its prosperous agricultural industry. With a bustling and historic downtown, this is the last place you would expect to find a case like this.
In March 2023, I was made aware of the warehouse, which housed a biolab that did not appear to be in compliance with the law. Within a day of having been alerted, my staff and I mobilized officials from Fresno County, the State of California, and Federal agencies to assist Reedley in the investigation and abatement of the unregulated laboratory that contained 1,000 transgenic mice and infectious diseases, among other concerning findings. I have stayed in contact with local and federal officials –including sharing information, encouraging cross-agency collaboration, and working with the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party during its investigation.
My top priority is health and public safety. The presence of infectious diseases that were poorly stored in a populated area of town without anyone’s knowledge is of major concern. That is why the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party coordinated a bipartisan Congressional report that is succinct, thorough, and impactful while maintaining the trust of the American public. I appreciate the Select Committee’s efforts on this matter.
This report outlines troublesome gaps that exist in federal law that allow bad actors to take advantage of the system. I look forward to continuing our work to address the existing gaps that allowed an illegal biolab like this to threaten the health and safety of the people in Reedley. It is my hope no other town in any Congressional district will endure what my constituents have through this experience.
I did not come to Congress expecting to handle a situation like the one outlined in this report. But my job is to advocate for my constituents and to ensure that the federal government is working for them in partnership with their other elected officials at all levels of government.
Thank you to the local first responders and officials for your collaboration during this investigation. I look forward to continuing this important partnership to protect the health and safety of our neighbors in Reedley and nationwide.
