The continuous struggle on resources and economical control has developed into a frightening conflict between China and the US. In an attempt to restrain the Chinese thrive and increasing possession over world economy, the US imposed restrictions on Chinese commerce and interests, a step that has proven risky considering the Chinese unexpected ״retaliation״. The spread of Covid-19, which instigated in Wuhan China, has demonstrated how a devastating confrontation must not necessarily involve direct military actions. Instead, world globalization and networks enable nowadays targeted strikes by cyber extremists (individuals, groups or countries), as well as assaults using biological threats. In the lack of sufficient experience, the scaring consequences of a biological threat are still not defined as declaration of war, particularly when claimed thereafter to be accidental. Not only that the spread of Covid-19 has most probably begun in a secret military laboratory in Wuhan, for unclear reasons the Chinese leaders have not warned the world nor did they take responsibility for the viral burst. Considering the RNA genome of Covid-19 and the approximately 27% difference from that of its SARS progenitor, it is hard to believe that its nucleotide sequence has been formed naturally. The complex sequence variations including entire segments from various resources corroborate the suspicion that it was genetically engineered by human hands, in part using gene recombination methodologies. The Chinese claims about the origin of the virus from a Bat or a Pangolin seem like attempts to remove blame from their shoulders. Intentionally or not, the world has been struck by an unprecedented biological threat instigating not only high death toll, but also economic disasters mostly in the Western world (North America and Europe), while the suffer in China in both aspects was quite limited. The fundamental difference in Covid-19 impact between China and the West increases the suspicion that the Chinese were prepared. Although isolation of individuals and populations has shown some success in attempts to arrest the virus spread, the high discipline of the Chinese population still cannot explain their unbelievable fast restrain of the disease, particularly with such dense population. On top of this suspicion we recall the visit of the Chinese president and his company to Wuhan, shortly after the viral burst. The visitors did not seem to defend themselves from infection, nor did they wear masks, a scenario that increases the suspicion that they felt protected, but how? It is likely that the Chinese were aware to the detrimental effects of the virus long before it spread, and it is possible that a vaccine has been secretly developed much earlier of the visit to Wuhan. Should this suspicion be true, the upcoming consequences of keeping it in secret rather than warning the world, while hoping that the results won’t be so bad, or with a tough decision to examine the effect over the world, led to a horrible reality. We can just imagine the new era in the presence of new deadly viruses or bacteria where the global clashes among superpowers deteriorate to using doomsdays means. Not only that the release of Covid-19 could be an attempt to demolish their Western opponents, it seems that the Chinese leaders are ready to sacrifice millions to demonstrate their own suffer and deter international criticism. Hard to believe, but for an unprepared world, the continuous attempts of engineering risky microorganisms to be used as warfare, may lead to our extinction much earlier than expected.
