【董经纬信息更新】我转了一朋友发来的小道消息发了酵，似乎惊动了美主流媒体，有记者问怎么回事，我如实回答说是大陆人士发来、无法证实的小道消息，之前我的推特特别说了姑妄听之。美记者也无法证实。党国当下小道消息满天飞是一个山雨欲来的征兆。

The report indicates that this transmitted information could affect the position of the administration of President Joe Biden regarding the origins of the origin of the emerging corona virus.

In the same context, the former expert in the CIA, Nicholas Efthymiades, described these reports as falling within the framework of rumors only, noting that “this regularly occurs within the framework of the media war between Beijing and the Chinese opposition and Washington.”

In this regard, Molly Saltskog, senior intelligence analyst at the Sovan Group, said that caution should be exercised, saying that “rumors of defections are surfacing regularly.”

She added, “While certainly important to our intelligence efforts, a defection by a high-ranking Chinese official will not fundamentally change our understanding or approach to China. In short, if true, this is potentially significant but not a game changer.”

The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not comment on the news published in various US newspapers about the Chinese official’s escape from the country.
