Two California-based legislators are calling for an investigation into a secret Chinese-owned biolab discovered in Reedley, California, and how the company that owned it was approved for government loans and tax credits amounting to more than $500,000.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.), who represent congressional districts in California’s Central Valley, wrote a letter to the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee seeking a probe into how and why Universal Meditech Inc. was granted two Payment Protection Program (PPP) loans of $74,912 each in April 2020 and February 2021.
