With the U.S. intelligence community due to produce a report on COVID-19 origins in weeks, the Chinese regime has unleashed a new wave of propaganda and disinformation aimed to paint the United States as the pandemic source.

Over the past few weeks, the regime has redoubled its efforts to promote a conspiracy theory that the virus originated from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at the Fort Detrick army base in Maryland, a claim first proposed by a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson last year, without evidence.
