Biden Investigation: The Hynansky Connection
Hunter Biden's Metabiota collected the same virus that Chinese communists manipulated in the Huazhong lab. Chan and Ridley failed to document the Hunter Biden link to this virus.

pp. 123-124 Youth in the Wild. In parallel with the work of WIV scientists, another Wuhan laboratory als got into bat virus hunting. At the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a laboratory less than three hundred metres from the Huanan Seafood Market, Dr. Tian Junhua, and expert on pathogens carried by ticks and mosquitoes, began sampling bats in Hubei Province.
....According to a profile in the Yangtze River Commercial Daily in 2017, Dr. Tian graduated from Huazhong Agricultural University, majoring in plant protection in 2004, before joining the Department of Disinfection and Vector Control of the Wuhan CDC.
....Dr. Tian is a co-author with Dr. Zhang Yongzhen in Shanghai on the Nature paper reporting the first genome sequences of SARS2, in which Dr. Tian is reported to have 'performed the epidemiological investigation and sample collection.' Although his laboratory did not itself carry out genomic sequencing, there is no doubt that bat samples were brought to the Wuhan CDC.'
p. 158 The First BSL-4 Lab in China....Nearby is Huazhong Agricultural University, which has collaborated on experiments manipulating pig coronaviruses.
p. 208 In 2009*, a team at Cornell University introduced a furin cleavage site into the SARS spike at the S1/S2 junction....In May 2015, a scientific collaboration between the Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan and Utrecht University in the netherlands published a study showing that the creation of a furin cleavage site in the spike of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Coronavirus (PEDV) conferred increased ability to enter cells and trigger fusion.
p. 289 It was left to other teams of scientists in China, Canada and France to say 'Hey, look - this is the first sarbecovirus with a furin cleavage site, which might explain why it is so highly infectious.'
Across town from the WIV, scientists at another Wuhan research institute, the Huazhong Agricultural University, had also recently collaborated with Dutch scientists to insert such a site into the spike of a live porcine epidemic diarrhea coronavirus. It is a remarkable coincidence at the very least that the first sarbecovirus with a furin cleavage site showed up in one of the few gin joints in all the world where the knowledge and capabilities exist for inserting one into a coronavirus.'
* Chan and Ridley fail to make the 2006 Montana lab connection that inserted a furin cleavage site into SARS1, and furin-like sites were recorded in ticks on Long Island at least as early as 2008.
