I don't see how it's cheaper to maintain an entire facility and staff just to take care of unwanted items, but I concede it's a possibility, bureaucracy and inertia being what it is.

In your extensive experience, how common are unlicensed biotech R&D facilities being run in secret? And I see no reason being capable of biotech R&D would preclude it from being capable of more malicious purposes. If anything, I'd assume a significant amount of overlap between the two capabilities.

very similar visual content

Very similar to what? Your reddit experience is probably hugely different from mine.

I used the term Chinese to refer to ethnicity, not nationality.

Buddy, see my username? Yeah, that's a Chinese name. I of all people know exactly what the difference is between Chinese ethnicity and Chinese nationality.

With that said, the majority of Chinese business people have some connection or other to China, be it family, business, or otherwise. Combine that with the context here of mysterious purpose (but probably bioweapons), unknown funding source and complete lack of any commercial purpose, etc etc, and it's not a hard conclusion to draw.

Chinese listed owner. Chinese representative. Mysterious purpose with unknown source of funds. Not too hard to connect the dots.

Edit: Apparently people don't realise Chinese can refer to ethnicity as well as nationality. Yes, it would be ideal if we had different terms for the two.

Both the owner and representative of the company are Chinese, so why wouldn't she think that?

Also, how many other countries would be interested in maintaining a bioweapons facility in the US?

This is insane. Straight out of a spy novel. Foreign power maintaining bioweapons facility in the US.

Actually, doesn't seem to be an option in kbin

Yes, it is. Thanks, I'll try that
