Ex-MI6 Chief Richard Dearlove says Britain’s Science Sector has Been Compromised by “Malign Chinese Communist Influence”
The U.K.’s science sector has been compromised by a “malign Chinese communist influence” and, for that reason, parroted China’s party line that Covid did not leak from a lab in Wuhan, according to an ex-MI6 chief. MailOnline has more.
Sir Richard Dearlove, head of the intelligence service from 1999 to 2004, believes many universities in the U.K. have become dependent on Chinese funding over the past two decades.
While urging institutions to take “greater steps to protect intellectual property”, he expressed concern over the extent to which Britain echoed a potential ‘information’ campaign from China following the coronavirus outbreak in December 2019.
Since China alerted the world to a mysterious virus circulating in Wuhan in December 2019, a debate has been raging over its true source.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which specialises in manipulating dangerous coronaviruses, is the high-security laboratory at the centre of an alleged cover-up.
Sir Richard, 76, told a podcast for the Australian: “In the future, we will have to take very careful steps to control this in terms of registering where Chinese research students go and what their interests are, and take greater steps to protect intellectual property in our universities, particularly in areas of sensitive research.”
He added: “I’m pretty sure that the Chinese after the outbreak in Wuhan, and they’re very good at doing this, sat down and developed their own information campaign and this was almost certainly driven by the Ministry of State Security and run out of the PRC leadership to make sure that there was suppression of any suggestion that their narrative was not the correct one,” Sir Richard said in the podcast.
“What concerns me and what worries me is the extent to which the West went along with this.”

“dependent on Chinese funding over the past two decades”
It’s not just funding.
Research the ‘Confucius Institutes’ — which began being established inside American universities in 2004 – might have been earlier elsewhere.
(And for G*d’s sake, do NOT trust Wikipedia on any of this.)
Cf. Goethe Institute or British Council.
No shit, Sherlock. Many an entertaining tale can be heard from those involved in “exchange visits” with the more, erm, interesting nations over the last 50 years.
WHO on earth could he be talking about?
Not just here
Look how Drosten’s PCR test paper was adopted, it was the foundation on which this scam was built
All the redacted e mails between Fauci, Drosten, Vallance, Wellcome Trust etc
This has been the scam of all scams
All claims against the Drosten paper were rejected by independent scientists.
Yeah right!

They’d probably say HP, followed by Ketchup…
The original Corman-Drosten et al PCR test paper had been criticized by some people. “A consortium of over forty life scientists has petitioned for the withdrawal of the paper, writing a lengthy report detailing 10 major errors in the paper’s methodology.” On February 4, 2021, Eurosurveillance (who first published the paper) published its long-awaited response to the Corman-Drosten Review Report, after a two-month period of review by “five external experts”. Within one week of the receipt of the Report, and after a discussion with the editorial board members, it was decided that scientific misconduct or conflicts of interest were a non-issue. They were also happy with the peer review. https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.5.2102041 The Review Report and the Addendum on the Borger-Kämmerer team against the Corman-Drosten et al paper was criticised by people like Prof. Andreas Beyer who states …. “The Borger-Kämmerer text is pseudoscience, it is full of misconceptions, errors and flaws. Therefore it is ignored by experts for good reason. The impact it had in public consciousness, however, is fatal. Borger reported on Twitter more than 30 Million views of his “Report” (March 2021) [now 50 million]. Hence I ask all colleagues please to spread this essay for at least a… Read more »
Thanks for the link there are some interesting points made. Probably could have written it in about 1/4 of the space and left out the ranting, bad punctuation and referring to his own work as proof that the Corman-Drosten is correct. He is obviously passionate about his work. However, the critique seems fundamentally weak and incoherent on two points – cycle threshold (you can use hundreds – really?) and use of PCR as a diagnostic. He seems to echo the arguments that it cannot be used as a diagnostic in absentia of other expertise such as medical diagnosis and then argues that it had to be used as a medical diagnostic due to widespread prevalence of asymptomatic spread (one of the many things he asserts in the document but does not reference). Also, the guy is throwing tropes around like ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘911’ in his introduction where he lumps them together with ‘anti-vaccinationists’, ‘creationists’ and ‘climate change deniers’ like a toddler eating custard and peas with his fingers, and then goes on to complain that he is wrongly accused of ad hominem attacks! This opening is an explicit display of his own groupthink mentality. Then there’s stuff like this… Read more »
Here is the third of three essays by a researcher with close ties to the scientific community which supports PCR tests and debunks the criticism of Drosten with links to the other two.

Senate majority votes to repeal vaccine mandate
I think Britain’s Science Sector has got bigger problems than the Chinese. Let’s take a look at big-pharma.
Is Richard Dearlove another one of TY’s mates?
Headline reads “Pot calls kettle black”
Dearlove is the worst head of MI6 that ever has been- swaggering round the SCRs in Cambridge bragging about his career, such as it was.
I was enormously gratified to note that my above comment had attracted a downtick within less than five minutes of my having posted it. Flak/target.
Yes I always feel privileged to receive a red mark against my name, it would be a good idea if DS allowed readers to vote on its articles 😉
I agree entirely. Incidentally, I’ve been aggressively and fairly-immediately targeted in the past on other sites whenever I’ve posted against Dearlove. Why that might have been I wouldn’t presume to speculate.
You were clearly on target.
Crap.
The present one fits that bill quite well.
Lets just repeat Dearlove’s statement with a few corrections : “I’m pretty sure that the elites Westminster puppets after the outbreak in Wuhan, and they’re very good at doing this, sat down and developed their own information campaign and this was almost certainly driven by the Cabinet Office and run out of No 10 to make sure that there was suppression of any suggestion that their narrative was not the correct one”
Another Ursine defecation in ligneous areas revelation.
As someone once quipped: If there’s a problem, intelligent people look for solutions and stupid people for culprits.
The ongoing campaign for the UK to adopt as much of the Chinese Corona policies as can be forced onto the population, also with strong backing of the academic UK and thus, if the article is correct, China, is much more important than flogging this dead horse.
Independently of this, gene-engineering bioweapon experiments ought to be banned. Even if they’re just gain of function research and certainly supposed to further some good cause. Potentially dangerous technology doesn’t belong into the hands of people stupid or mad enough to use it for something like this. These people belong into padded cellls.
Ergo ipso facto – other big funders: Gates, Soros can influence the agenda
Anything this man says should be taken with a pinch of salt.
He was involved in the pee in bed Trump lie.
Vaccine profiteer Gates largesse extends to Ferguson, Whitty, Fauci, Imperial College, WHO, GAVI, John Hopkins, BBC, Guardian, Big Pharma and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. In fact, he helps bankroll the whole covid bandwagon – but its the Chinese stupid.
20 years ago I use to travel with work and I was shocked at the influence China and the Chinese had on various countries. In Pakistan I use to eat in the Chinese restaurants as the quality of the food was much better than in local restaurants. The Chinese have been playing a long term game and infiltrating many countries, institutions, political parties, universities etc for decades. Read the Hidden Hand to see how much the CCP have infiltrated the globe.
To show how long a game they have been playing just look at Africa/Zimbabwe, it was the Chinese who fired up African tribal chiefs to the “evils” of colonialism and trained and funded the troops. Look at Zimbabwe, they bought the country for a few lorry loads of weapons and the odd palace for Mugabe. I understand there is a trillion dollars worth of platinum in Zimbabwe and the locals wont get a look in.
Under the colonials the locals were educated, employed, given medical treatment and generally looked after (better than their tribal chief did). Now the Chinese couldn’t give a dam for the local African, just get the stupid west to pay for them.
You are fingering the wrong ethnic group but thats ok, we see you.
and just what the hell have MI6/M15/military intelligence etc been doing to counter this?
Trying to keep up by doing their own counter democratic looting.
Zilch.. they’re in on it..
He won’t counter much by blaming the Chinese.
We all know it is the corporations, banksters, and the US/UK.
I suppose it is the Chinese calling for mandatory vaxes and lockdowns (no Christmas) and profiteering as Pfizer etc are doing.
What crap. Dearlove cannot have been any good at his job if the thinks this convincing disinformation.
I don’t take funding by China but I still believe it is highly likely that rogue elements of the US Deep State used SARS-CoV-2 as an economic bioweapon against China without realising the blowback it would cause.
https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-covid-epidemic-as-lab-leak-or-biowarfare/
The Deep state is globalist and not tied to any one nation.
Exactly.. in particular the International Banking cabal..
@GlassHalfFull – If they were preparing that and Chinese intelligence got wind of it then China would have helped them commit what would be one of the biggest strategic military screwups of all time.
At what point do the UK military step in and take control of the UK Government? Is there even a plan for dealing with Governments that ‘go rogue’? Genuine question.
It just isn’t British. The Toby Young class ironically are so sett in their own privilege they can’t see they are the ones with the most to lose, oh well.
Why suppose that the upper ranks of the military have not been captured by the same class of rogue?
One of the things that was better in my New World Order takeover novel of over 2 decades ago, there was significant resistance from within the military.
A cheerful Christmas song I will not comply
Can’t find any info on the artist who did this song, would be excellent if this was xmas #1. Spread this song.
It’s not perfect but it certainly deserves more views and likes than it has at the moment
I believe Richard Dearlove to be an honourable man but I wonder to what extent MI5 and MI6 have been infiltrated by the EU, WHO, WEF, etc?
Honourable? I’m sure that a few thousand Iraqi widows and orphans might disagree.
500,000 excess deaths among civlians leaves more than a few thousand widows and orphans. Throw in the Yemenis (fatalities women > children > men), Libyans and Syrians and then you can start talking.
“The British schools selling out to Beijing: Not only are private institutions being bought by Chinese firms but some are giving communist-approved lessons that are a threat to free speech”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9282617/British-private-institutions-bought-Chinese-firms.html
Anyone bought any Christmas presents Made in China this year?
Ever wondered where they get the money from?
Interesting article.
And many private schools in Britain that remain “independent” and aren’t Chinese-owned still receive a lot of Chinese money.
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
Of course the CCP bigwigs much prefer a Tory government to a Labour one – and not only because the Tory party has long received dirty money through Hong Kong. Soviet bigwigs too preferred a Tory government. (Khrushchev: “If I lived in Britain, I would vote Conservative.”)
Many of these schools even have a Chinese branch. I guess the over subscription of oligarch offspring priced out the UK middle classes, so the answer was expansion.
Tory versus Labour? They are both beholden to the same globalist corporates. The only tangible difference relates to which part of the electorate they crap on and from what height.
May say made in UK but like enough it will continue Chinese made components.
If the climate scam was real, the government might be expected to allow products guaranteed China free (if there is still such a thing) to be clearly labelled.

Might as well get used to our new culture, what with the Social Credit Score and wotnot.
“The U.K.’s science sector has been compromised by”… a global pedo elite. China is where they have planned to install their next financial and power centre. Ever since manufacturing plants were moved out of the US in the 1970’s, when Nixon unpegged the dollar off gold.
The concentration camps located in West China house slaves who make parts for the silicon in solar cells. Let’s not forget adrechrome factories either Dearlove.

Ah the infamous Uighurs, loyal troops of western regime changes ops, trained alongside the Wahabbist ‘carefully vetted moderate rebel’ headchoppers in Syria in the expectation of then unleashing them on China. Unfortunately Big Bad Russia took out tens of thousands of the CVMRs in Syria, putting a spanner in the works.
The problem is not just China. We have enemies both foreign and domestic operating within our countries, and most of them are whispering in the ears to people in the top levels of governments, flashing their wads of cash and pushing us in a direction that quite literally will be hell on this green Earth. No one can say for certain what ‘conspiracy theory’ is actually going to be the real deal, but I sure as hell don’t want to sit around and wait to find out. So what do we do about it? Keep having debates? Keep writing letters to MPs? Keep having protests? Keep heckling Chris Witty? As they say in mafia movies ‘Forget about it!’ We need to start thinking big. Building an independent provisional government, building a military and police force, recruiting from all levels of society and hoping for major defections from existing institutions. The first job of this government will be to take the now very illegitimate government to task and send them packing, while also setting up a new Nuremberg style tribunal. And after that? Well, onto Europe and beyond. This is going to be a long road. But it has to start… Read more »
You are having a sane moment not a mad one. Let us hope we do not get as far as that scenario. We certainly need action now, there have been enough words
SIS has its own scientists. Is Dearlove saying
If 1, the implication is that the Chinese state has penetrated the senior echelon of the British Tory government, probably with Johnson himself as one of its assets.
If 2, the implication is that the Chinese state has penetrated the senior echelon of SIS.
Another point I would make is that it’s terrible psywar to whinge about how good the other side’s psywar is. Dearlove must know that. He may see Britain as already having fallen to China, to a point where all he can do is lob something, so he lobs something.
Third: why doesn’t he mention Cambridge University directly? There’s an awful lot of Chinese money, much of it “dark”, at Cambridge, and as a former master of Pembroke College Dearlove will be especially aware of that.
You can always trust the words of a retired spook.
How is it normal news? Someone believes something. I can find another Sir, man, a physicist who believes Russians are behind all this. That’s not good enough to find someone who belives something and gives you practically no evidence prooving it and follow his opinion.
Nothing to do with Chinese funding.
Everything to do with Woke Western Establishment thinking
But then again, mr Dearlove is a member of teh establishment…
Yes there are disparate enemies. But we need to rid ourselves of the nearest first, our government. Unfortunately Parliament isn’t doing its job to change this fake democratic system so what is left but revolutionary action, ask yourselves
They test for the flu since they’ve never isolated Covid-19. Which makes me wonder how they can tell there is a delta variant. They never isolated the virus but they use a test to show the damage of a solution does on monkey kidney cells then show the cellular debris as proof of the virus. So, they can use this method to claim an UNENDING! amount of variants. A lot of cancers and “viruses” are probably just different forms of parasites. Since the tests can’t differentiate between cold and flu and covid then doesn’t that mean ivermectin cures both the cold and the flu? Welcome to “they’ve been lying to us our entire lives about everything”. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
The Security services have known for years the HE sector is the greatest threat to our National Security…or at least that’s what a very senior Dixon told me…. Well over a decade ago…
The morally and financially bankrupt West went along with this? Really?
So easy to manipulate these days.
This article again proves that this website exists to deceive people and keep them distracted with illusions!!!
Already last century, intellectuals like Gilbert Chesterton [the new unhappy lords] said that the “cold war” was a myth since the same elements are behind capitalism and communism: the jewish bankers.
It’s the Hegelian Dialect of balance of powers illusion, the bogus conflicts between west and east, when in reality governments are controlled either by these bankers directly or through their invisible weapon, freemasonry.
It’s the same illusion as the Tories vs Labour, both are controlled by the bankers and freemasonry.
We live in a world filled with gigantic illusions.
