Gordon Chang: there's a secret Chinese biological weapons lab on US soil—and he believes it's not the only one.
Chang points to the unlicensed lab uncovered in Reedley, California, and a storage depot raided in Las Vegas—and says he's almost certain a third facility, likely a full lab, is still operating somewhere in the country.
His bigger warning is about complacency. Chang argues that neither the Trump administration nor its predecessors grasp the seriousness of what Beijing is doing. Americans assume they're safe on home soil, he says—but with Chinese agents, operatives, and soldiers already in place, planning mass casualty events, they are not. If Xi Jinping gives the signal, Chang believes they'll succeed.
He compares the threat—organized, resourced, embedded—to that of Islamic terrorism.
"They are ready to strike."
