It’s shady practices like this that fuel conspiracy theories and erode public trust in science.
My mother appears convinced it’s a Chinese medical lab. So, yea.

Both the owner and representative of the company are Chinese, so why wouldn't she think that?

Also, how many other countries would be interested in maintaining a bioweapons facility in the US?

Because being Chinese doesn’t mean you are a Chinese nationalist. It’s a pretty racist jump to make.

Buddy, see my username? Yeah, that's a Chinese name. I of all people know exactly what the difference is between Chinese ethnicity and Chinese nationality.

With that said, the majority of Chinese business people have some connection or other to China, be it family, business, or otherwise. Combine that with the context here of mysterious purpose (but probably bioweapons), unknown funding source and complete lack of any commercial purpose, etc etc, and it's not a hard conclusion to draw.

(but probably bioweapons),

source? This is a wild jump

It’s sad you have to identify yourself as Chinese in order to make this statement.

Like we can’t judge a statement based on it’s content alone.

a bioweapons facility

stop with this. You have no evidence of this. You’re simply fear-mongering and contributing to conspiracy.
