 bookkeeping for those companies. Accountant 1—not Zhu himself—has incorporated and performed work for organizations whose leadership is linked to CCP leadership and to the United Front Work Department. These include organizations that advocate for CCP control over Taiwan and the “repatriation” of overseas PRC citizens, set up “little red classrooms” in Nevada’s public schools that promote CCP ideology, and promote the CCP’s narrative about the COVID pandemic. One such organization, which advocates for CCP control over Taiwan, is directly tied to the radicalization of David Chou, a PRC national and a Nevada resident who went on an armed shooting spree at a Taiwanese church in 2022.

The companies that Accountant 1 set up for Zhu engaged in fraud and operated the unlicensed and illegal Reedley Biolab. As described above, this involved obtaining and storing vast quantities of apparent pathogens, biological, and chemical materials, and preserving them at great expense. It is unclear when Zhu began obtaining these apparent pathogens and other materials—handwritten labels appear to indicate that he obtained some as early as 2009. If that is correct, Zhu appears to have transported them across the northern border when he entered the United States unlawfully due to the active arrest warrant in Canada, a pathogen importation violation.

Zhu rented out large warehouses, purchased and maintained at least 1,000 transgenic mice, bought expensive medical-grade and other freezers and refrigerators, and rewired electrical circuits to draw in enough power to keep these freezers at a sufficiently low temperature.
