Cutting defense (or rather 'offense') spending is a great idea.

Actually what makes the most sense is it was a naturally occurring virus in the area, the lab then studied it, and then there was a leak, and the Chinese government is trying to hide that they were studying it earlier than originally thought. We already know there were cases going back to at least October in the area, which is about a month earlier than when reports about the virus started going international. However, neither side of the debate wants to admit it could be BOTH, instead locking themselves into an either/or thing on some culture warz bullshit. Also many of the lab people suggesting or outright saying China manufactured the virus and intentionally let it out.
Let's face it. China was probably developing a virus to use on the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, Taiwan or both. A silent killer so there wouldn't be images of Chinese tanks and planes on the news.
Only images of the Chinese military coming to 'rescue' them. They knew they were fucked, their scientists knew it but once it was out they also made sure the WHO would not warn the rest of the world.
The CCP intentionally sterilize women, they intentionally built concentration camps and they intentionally lied to the WHO.
China is lucky(?) that more people are on the hook for this. Fauci for signing the grants and pushing through this type of research considered to be too dangerous and thus not allowed in the US.
They simply moved the research (for scientific reasons of course) to China where they could more easily bend the rules. The story now is that the 'real' Gain of Function program was done under the required security conditions.
But that the Chinese also ran a second program of their own based in another section of the lab on the same computer network with less security. Outside of the official internationally monitored program they could do what they wanted.
Our public broadcaster said that 'the political situation had changed' and thus this came to light. But that is not the case. What changed is that the WHO send a team of CCP shills to Wuhan and the CCP didn't even give them rope to hang themselves or a can of infected bat soup. Not that it matters because nothing will really change.
