When the US began its aerial germ war bombing campaign over No. Korea & China in Winter 1952, China's Foreign Affairs Minister publicly accused the US of dropping infected insects in Northeast China
@zandapheri at X (formerly Twitter) has noted that both Bak's and Zhou Enlai's statements are available at the Internet Archive, where a 1952 China pamphlet containing the statements has been uploaded. The full title of the pamphlet is "Stop U.S. Germ Warfare! Part 1: Protests, Statements, Appeals and Other Documents Concerning the Criminal Use of Bacteriological Weapons Against the People of Korea and China." Zhou's statement begins on page 8. The document can be viewed or downloaded at URL: https://archive.org/details/stop-us-germ-warfare-1
The pamphlet also includes the text of Zhou's earlier statement on February 24, mentioned in his March 8 speech.
Many thanks to @zandapheri aka Alice! Very important publication!
Thanks. I knew nothing about this, but it's easy to believe. After all, just a few years before the American government took in a bunch of Nazi German scientists, so it's not a stretch to think that they used Japanese biowarfare criminals as well.
Nothing you wrote suggests that this strategy worked at all. Did it? Did any Chinese or North Koreans get sick? Or was it just another MIC boondoggle?
