China's top spy agency warns of 'gene weapons' targeting specific ethnicity or race, with claims of their development by some countries. The U.S. government doctor in 2017 flagged safety issues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, hinting at the possibility of a lab-originated COVID-19 pandemic. The institute's director warns of a potential new outbreak, and the U.S. raises concerns about China's past biological weapons work and classified research. The Biden administration bans the Wuhan Institute of Virology from receiving US funding for 10 years, amid mounting evidence of a lab-originated pandemic.
