The Bill Gates foundation issued a $ 100,000 grant in June to the Foreign Talent Research Center (FTRC) of the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, according to the Gates Foundation website .

The funding is to help the Chinese regime organize a forum hosted by Zhongguancun, China's state-sponsored Silicon Valley, on "pandemic preparedness and response."

In past editions, the forum presented key leaders of the regime as speakers including, at its 2021 event, Chinese President Xi Jinping.

While the 2022 forum will feature discussion topics such as global health and support for "disadvantaged populations" affected by the pandemic, the communist regime-affiliated agency sponsoring the event, FTRC, oversees the hiring of foreign talent in science and engineering for China's strategic goals such as military-civil integration.

Meanwhile, the objectives of the forum are to "seriously study and understand the spirit of the Secretary General's speech" and build a technology hub in "serving the national strategy".

The Gates Foundation's commitment to strengthening China's scientific advancement came amid growing warnings of the threat the regime poses to the United States and the West.

The leaders of the national intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom and the United States released a rare joint statement on July 6, warning that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the greatest threat to the international order, the Epoch Times reports.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said the biggest challenge to international order is the CCP, which seeks to undermine the United States, its allies and partners.
Meanwhile, MI5 Chief Executive Ken McCallum detailed the threats posed by the CCP in connection with secret theft, forced technology transfers, research exploitation and cyberattacks that target virtually every sector of society.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation established its Beijing office in 2007 and has since worked with the Chinese government on several national projects in the country, CNN reported. Over the past three decades, Gates has visited China at least "a dozen times", forming friendly relations with its top leaders.
