"Do you think there's any truth to the coronavirus being created by the Chinese?"

That's the question Curt Mercadante asks Dr. Robert Spalding, retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General, former strategic planning director to the president for the National Security Council and China strategist for the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He now serves as senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

He’s also the author of the new book, “Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elites Slept.”

"It's as easy to say the numbers coming out of China are true as it is to say that coronavirus was made in a laboratory, because the bottom line is, nobody knows," he tells me in this episode.
