We've talked a lot about China's encroachment on the United States here at The OP. We discussed the vast swaths of land being bought up by Chinese investors, including and airstrip in Texas. We discussed the secret Chinese police stations right here on American soil. There was the Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to fly all across the country, taking photos of our own facilities before finally being shot down over the Atlantic Ocean. And now there is the secret Chinese bio lab in California that is every bit as egregious – and possibly more so.

If you haven't heard, an unassuming warehouse about an hour outside of Fresno, California, was found to contain evidence of horrific, black-market biological experiments. Reedley City, a fairly small town of fewer than 25,000 people, was the site of a shocking laboratory.

What was in the Chinese bio lab?

This lab was found back in December, and we're just now hearing about it. Juanita Adame of YourCentralValley.com broke the story and shared the shock of local officials.

"This is an unusual situation. I've been in government for 25 years. I've never seen anything like this," said Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba.

Even county health officials were left in shock.

"I've never seen this in my 26-year career with the County of Fresno," said Assistant Director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health Joe Prado.

What was supposed to be an empty building used only for storage was home to a black-market type of lab testing facility.

"So there was over 800 different chemicals on site in different bottles of different acids. Unfortunately, a lot of these are being categorized under unknown chemicals," Prado explained.

The discovery was made after a local code enforcement officer noticed this garden hose poking out a back wall of the building.
