Editor’s note for Wednesday, August 11, 2021

A note from the editor of today's The China Project Access newsletter.

editor's note for Access newsletter

My thoughts today:

Several Chinese state media outlets including the Peopleโ€™s Daily, China Daily, and broadcaster CGTN โ€œhave removed comments about the COVID-19 pandemic that were โ€˜wrongly presentedโ€™ as coming from a Swiss biologist who does not appear to exist, Switzerlandโ€™s foreign ministry said Wednesday,โ€ reports the Associated Press.

The made up Swiss biologistโ€™s name is โ€œWilson Edwards.โ€

Upcoming events:

Our word of the day is:

Michael Spavor was found guilty of spying abroad and illegally providing state secrets
