Secret documents reveal Trudeau government virologists had “clandestine relationship” with Chinese agents

Documents authored by Canada’s top intelligence service reveal the long awaited explanation behind the abrupt departure of two virologists from Canada’s top biolaboratory.

Secret documents reveal Trudeau government virologists had “clandestine relationship” with Chinese agents

The documents, which have been viewed by The Counter Signal and published here for our readers expose the Trudeau government for hiding the true reason for the departure of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu Canada’s Public Health agency. 

Despite the Liberals citing the departure as a private “personnel issue,” the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) accuses Dr. Qiu of a long history of clandestine actions that put Canadians’ heath and security at risk, along with directly assisting military research in China. 

Alongside selling deadly pathogens to Chinese authorities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology for just $75, Qui was also found to have hidden a Chinese bank account from CSIS.

“Further to our security assessment […], the Service assesses that Ms. Qiu developed deep, cooperative relationships with a variety of People’s Republic of China (PRC) institutions and has intentionally transferred scientific knowledge and materials to China in order to benefit the PRC Government, and herself, without regard for the implications to her employer or to Canada’s interests.”

“It is clear that Ms. Qiu […] made efforts to conceal her projects with PRC institutions. The Service further assesses that because of her extensive knowledge of the harmful effects of dangerous pathogens on human health, Ms. Qiu should have been aware of the possibility that her efforts to engage clandestinely with the PRC in these research areas could harm Canadian interests or international security.”

“Ms. Qiu repeatedly lied in her security screening interviews about the extent of her work with institutions of the PRC Government and refused to admit to any involvement in various PRC programs, even when documents [REDACTED] were put before her.”

“The Service also assesses that Ms. Qiu was reckless in her dealings with various PRC entities, particularly in her lack of respect for proper scientific protocols regarding the transfer of pathogens and in working with institutions whose goals have potentially lethal military applications that are manifestly not in the interests of Canada or its citizens.” 

Qiu was shown to have given China agents direct access to Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory, a Biosafety Level 4 facility which houses Canada’s most secret and secure pathogenic diseases. These pathogens can be used in weaponry. 

“Ms. Qiu also gave access to the [National Microbiology Laboratory] to at least two employees of a PRC institution whose work is not aligned with Canadian interests,” they stated.

Secretly working for Wuhan Lab

CSIS also found that Qui was actively working with the Chinese Wuhan Virology Lab on a project that CSIS redacted and called “Project 1.” This project started January 1, 2019, just three months before she sent a shipment of materials to the Wuhan lab, and the project involved the study of mRNA vaccines.

Project 2 was cited by CSIS as being a “cross-species infection” program that could have been used for Gain-of-Function research into bat viruses.

CSIS reported that “at least five virus strains from that March 31, 2019 BSL-4 pathogen shipment from [Winnipeg] to [Wuhan] were referenced in the Wuhan Institute of Virology Project 1.” 

Reaction from the Conservative Party

Opposition Leader Pierre Poilieve issued a scathing statement just prior to the publication of this story. 

“Under Justin Trudeau’s watch, the PRC and its entities, including the People’s Liberation Army, were allowed to infiltrate Canada’s top level lab. They were able to transfer sensitive intellectual property and dangerous pathogens to the PRC.

“This is a massive national security failure by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government, which he fought tooth and nail to cover up, including defying four parliamentary orders and taking the House of Commons Speaker to court. He cannot be trusted to keep our people and our country safe.

The Trudeau government did indeed sue the Speaker of the House of Commons to prevent the release of this information. 

These allegations have not been tested in court.
