CHN just wanted the jobs, research stipend and whatever else they can benefit from monetarily, don’t matter if Gain-Of-Function or the lab processes involved. I guess most of the Chinese professionals were aware about possible adverse events as all researchers do at the back of their minds while in the lab but wouldn’t want to voice out or question anything that’s pivotal in the study, might blow off the offers and likewise questioning authority for them, even if it was calling out sci research lead Batwoman only (Sorry forgotten her name) would mean a display of ‘disrespect’, and especially to NIAID, Eco-Health Alliance and whatever else ‘American organization’ was visible to the Chinese counterparts. I also believed that they assumed the Americans who played them key roles in the offerings and negotiations have already took the possibilities in consideration. I came across a Washington Post (Nor sure) article, I wish I saved it but this was way mid-2020 that 2-3 certain American officials coming from the American Embassy in Beijing frequented that specific Wuhan lab 2 months and a month before the outbreak, reportedly checking on this lab’s safety features.
