"The document, written by People's Liberation Army scientists and senior Chinese public health officials in 2015, was obtained by the US State Department as it conducted an investigation into the origins of COVID-19. The paper describes SARS coronaviruses as heralding a 'new era of genetic weapons' and says they can be 'artificially manipulated into an emerging human disease virus, then weaponized and unleashed in a way never seen before.'"The report was careful to caution that no information has been made public suggesting that the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic was the result of an intentional act. Many officials have urged investigations into the Wuhan Institute of Virology to determine if that lab, which is China's only Biosafety Level-4 lab (BSL-4), had any role in the origin of the pandemic. BSL-4 is a designation for facilities that are designed to handle pathogens so contagious and dangerous that "infections caused by these microbes are frequently fatal and without treatment or vaccines," according to the CDC.
The report states that chairmen of the British and Australian foreign affairs and intelligence committees, Tom Tugendhat and James Paterson, were alarmed by the document, and indicated that it raised serious concerns over the transparency coming out of communist China about the origins of the pandemic. The document is titled, "The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons."
The Australian reports:
Some of China's senior public health and military figures are listed among the 18 authors of the document, including the former deputy director of China's Bureau of Epidemic Prevention, Li Feng. Ten of the authors are scientists and weapons experts affiliated with the Air Force Medical University in Xi'an, ranked "very high-risk" for its level of defense research, including its work on medical and psychological sciences, according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Defense Universities Tracker.The Australian verified the authenticity of the paper through digital forensics expert Robert Pottinger, who has worked for three of the five governments, including the U.S., represented in Five Eyes, an intelligence alliance comprised of the U.S., Australia, Canada, the U.K., and New Zealand.
The Air Force Medical University, also known as the Fourth Medical University, was placed under the command of the PLA under President Xi Jinping's military reforms in 2017. The editor-in-chief of the paper, Xu Dezhong, reported to the top leadership of the Chinese Military Commission and Ministry of Health during the SARS epidemic of 2003, briefing them 24 times and preparing three reports, according to his online biography.
He also held the position of professor and doctoral supervisor in the Air Force Medical University's Military Epidemiology Department. Other authors include Zhang Jiangxia and Zhao Ningning, who both served as experiment scientists in the same department.
A significant area of concern surrounding the bioweapons research involves what is known as "Gain of Function" research where scientists create and alter viruses to make them more contagious and lethal. Australian Strategic Policy Institute Executive Director Peter Jennings said:
"There is no clear distinction for research capability because whether it's used offensively or defensively is not a decision these scientists would take. If you are building skills ostensibly to protect your military from a biological attack, you're at the same time giving your military a capacity to use these weapons offensively. You can't separate the two."The document highlights how biological warfare "could cause the enemy's medical system to collapse," among other things.
Comment: The remainder of the report, though offered, was 'unavailable'.

As unbiased as the driven snow, no doubt.
( He's probably a close friend of Elliot Piggins, er, excuse me, Higgins, over at ultra-trustworthy Bellingcat........ )

And for those who say 'COVID-19 couldn't be man-made because a laboratory-created virus would have tell-tale signs of manipulation' - au contraire. As Nicholas Wade noted three days ago in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, "newer methods, called “no-see-um” or “seamless” approaches, leave no defining marks . Nor do other methods for manipulating viruses such as serial passage, the repeated transfer of viruses from one culture of cells to another. If a virus has been manipulated, whether with a seamless method or by serial passage, there is no way of knowing that this is the case . [Link]

" It's as if the painfully obvious answer was right in front of us , only to be shrouded in propaganda by China-friendly politicians, big tech, and news outlets running cover for what should be the easiest game of connect-the-dots on the planet. Luckily, what was taboo as recently as a year ago will soon be exposed for the world to see, thanks to The Bulletin Of Atomic Scientists which earlier this week dared to open The Wuhan Virus "Pandora's Box"...

I think this is the book [Link] slated for September this year.
Also, I believe Dr. Yan, on her twitter, mentions she's translating the document. [Link] "The mentioned breaking document to “predict World War III as biological war” is the PLA’s novel bioweapon textbook (by General Dezhong Xi, 2015) I’m translating into English with our Chinese volunteers! The brief introduction is in the 3rd Yan Report"
She was previously interviewed by Tucker Carlson on Fox News on Oct 6th, 2020 as a Chinese Virologist Whistleblower.
And I believe this is the document [Link] on amazon.com, unavailable though. Used to cost $32.78 in March last year.
Oh! Just found that someone uploaded the document on twitter [Link] Here it is [Link] in chinese.
If the above link doesn't work, the document can also be found on b-ok.cc [Link]

"This book first tells the readers the epidemic process of infectious diseases and the reasons for the emergence of new infectious diseases based on genetic weapons. Secondly, it introduces what is meant by biological weapons, biomolecular evolution and phylogeny, and contemporary genes (new pathogens and disease-causing genes). Weapon and its release, SARS coronavirus and its causes are no longer present in nature and people, evidence of the epidemic and clinical characteristics of the non-natural origin of the SARS virus, the reverse evolution of the SARS virus and its non-natural origin, the author cites arbitrarily, and much It explains the international attitudes and opinions on the "unnatural origin of SARS CoV", and refutes the wrong academic view of a certain international magazine that "Chinese chrysanthemum bat is the reservoir of SARS-CoV". There are also "Human infection with H7N9 avian influenza and the possibility of its abnormal origin" reprinted", a systematic description of the abnormal epidemiology of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza at that time and the limited evidence of pathogen molecular virology. Examples cited in each chapter of this book Or logical reasoning may be repeated, all of which come from different purposes and illustrate different academic laws; while emphasizing its importance deepens the reader's impression, it also highlights the theme so that the reader can understand the purpose of this book."
Based on their clips I've watched they seem to be a truth seeking and informative news source. They question and criticise the official narrative.

“The Chinese biological laboratory in Wuhan is owned by GlaxoSmithKline, which owns Pfizer! The one who makes the vaccine against the virus that started at the Wuhan Biological Lab and was funded by Dr. Fauci who promotes the vaccine!
GlaxoSmithKline is managed by the finance division of Black Rock, which manages the finances of the Open Foundation Company (Soros Foundation), which manages the Soros owned German company Winterthur that built a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan and was bought by the German Allianz that (coincidentally) has Vanguard as a shareholder, who (coincidentally) is a shareholder of Black Rock, which (coincidentally) controls central banks and manages about a third of global investment capital.
Black Rock is also (coincidentally) a major shareholder of MICROSOFT, owned by Bill Gates, who (coincidentally) is a shareholder of Pfizer (which – remember? Sells a miracle vaccine) and (coincidentally) is now the first sponsor of the WHO! Now you understand how a dead bat sold in a wet market in China has infected the WHOLE PLANET!”
