With @VCDNP today, @JaimeYassif highlighted the gap between the outbreak investigation capabilities of the World Health Organization and the United Nations Secretary-General’s Mechanism, which has the authority to investigate alleged deliberate bioweapons use. @NTI_WMD

[Katherine Budeski | 康怡 @KBudeski]

She acknowledged the opportunity to take advantage of new technologies, including modern bioscience and bioinformatics, to build a modern mechanism.

Today with @NTI_WMD and @VCDNP, @kaneview provided insights on how the international community could develop a Joint Assessment Mechanism to enable a multinational team to investigate the origin of a high consequence biological event.

[Katherine Budeski | 康怡 @KBudeski]

She explained how the mechanism requires pre-established relationships with a diverse roster of qualified experts, regular training, a strong laboratory network, data analysis capabilities, and a standing capability that monitors for aberrations that could trigger a response.

Situation in Peking Univ. (my college)
If there is one college that's politically sensitive, probably this one. Everyone knows where many past political movements start. /1

This is a critical moment for U.S.-China relations.
In recent years there has been a debate about the degree to which the United States can shape China’s major strategic decisions.
I think that debate may be nearing its end. 🧵 1/9
