I note that China does enable women to attain high positions, although they seem far less common than men in those positions. IIRC the military leader that took over the Wuhan Institute of Virology back in late December or in January was a woman (Gen. Chen, I think) who has been involved in biological warfare for many years.

IMHO, that takeover by the military of the Wuhan Institute of Virology lends strong suspicion to the theory SARS2 came from WIV.
