China lied about the human-to-human transmission of coronavirus, made whistle-blowers disappear and refused to help nations develop a vaccine as the outbreak spread across the world, a leaked intelligence dossier reveals.

...

Intelligence officials found a series of cover-ups by the Chinese government including the 'deadly denial of human-to-human transmission', the silencing or 'disappearing' of researchers who tried to raise the alarm, the hiding or destruction of evidence of the outbreak and a refusal to hand over live virus samples to other countries to enable them to develop vaccines.

Australia's The Saturday Telegraph, which obtained the documents, also reported a partnership between Chinese and Australian labs where research was carried out relating to a bat-derived coronavirus that could not be cured

China's cover-up of the seriousness of the outbreak can be traced back to early December, the dossier reveals.

China had 'evidence of human-human transmission from early December,' the intelligence found, but continued to deny it could spread this way until January 20.

...

The report reveals China then started censoring news of the virus on search engines from December 31, deleting terms such as 'SARS variation, 'Wuhan Seafood market' and 'Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia.'

On January 3, China's National Health Commission then reportedly ordered virus samples be destroyed and issued a 'no-publication order' about the virus.

The papers highlight that China imposed travel bans on people traveling throughout the nation but continued to tell the rest of the world travel bans were unnecessary.

...

Throughout February, Beijing presses the US, Italy, India, Australia, Southeast Asian neighbors and others not to protect themselves via travel restrictions, even as the PRC imposes severe restrictions at home.'

Doctors and scientists who tried to raise the alarm about the virus and China's handling of it have also vanished or been punished, according to the documents.

Huang Yan Ling, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and thought to be patient zero for the global pandemic, mysteriously disappeared and her biography was deleted from the lab's website.

The institute has denied she was ?*patient zero and said she is alive but she has not been heard from since.
