In 1999, two Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) colonels proposed the use of bioweapons as a military strategy to defeat technologically superior opponents like the U.S.
Documents obtained by the Department of State (DOS) revealed that Chinese scientists have been preparing for a third world war fought with biological and genetic weapons, including coronaviruses, since 2015. According to the document, they will be “the core weapon for victory” in a conflict of that magnitude.
