U.S. tax dollars are being directed towards a project at a Chinese military lab attempting to enhance the virulence of bird flu. The project involves the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which oversees the controversial Wuhan Institute of Virology. Eighteen members of Congress have demanded answers.

The $1 million project, which intends to make highly pathogenic avian influenza more transmissible to mammals, began in 2021 and is due to receive funding until 2026.
