Possible Chinese bioweapon lab uncovered on American soil
The Chinese government needs to stop with their experiments. And they need to get it out of this country.
And now a possible Chinese bioweapon lab was uncovered on American soil.
Shocking Discovery in a Las Vegas Residence
Over the weekend, a SWAT team executed a search warrant on an east-side Las Vegas home following a tip, deploying robots for initial clearance, air sampling, and hazardous materials response.
Inside a locked garage, investigators uncovered more than 1,000 pieces of evidence, including multiple refrigerators filled with vials of unknown liquids, gallon containers of mysterious substances, a centrifuge, and various lab equipment. Some materials appeared to be biological in nature and potentially hazardous.
Officials emphasized there is currently no immediate danger to the public, but samples of biological material and liquids were carefully collected and forwarded to FBI laboratories for thorough analysis.
Ties to a Fugitive Chinese National and Prior Illegal Operations
The property belongs to Jia Bei Zhu (also known as Jesse Zhu, Qiang He, or David He), a 62-year-old citizen of the People’s Republic of China who is already in federal custody.
Zhu faces serious charges stemming from an unauthorized biolab discovered in Reedley, California, in 2023, where authorities found extensive lab setups, medical-grade freezers, manufacturing devices, and around 1,000 transgenic mice engineered for COVID-19 research.
A House Select Committee report has highlighted Zhu’s alleged close connections to the Chinese government and involvement in a transnational scheme that reportedly pilfered millions in U.S. intellectual property.
Zhu is set for trial in April on federal accusations of producing and distributing misbranded medical devices — such as COVID-19, pregnancy, and HIV tests — without required permits, plus making false statements to the FDA. His attorney stated: “He is not involved in any kind of a biolab being conducted in a home in Las Vegas,” and “What went on in that residence we are unaware of.”
A Property Manager Arrested Amid Growing Concerns
A 55-year-old property manager, Ori Solomon, was taken into custody and booked on charges related to the improper disposal and discharge of hazardous waste.
The FBI continues to support the active investigation, with authorities declining to release further specifics on the materials or additional potential suspects at this stage.
This latest incident fuels broader worries about how Chinese nationals with questionable backgrounds manage to establish such covert biological facilities across the U.S., evading oversight and raising serious national security red flags.
