Yan Li-Meng，a former postdoctoral researcher from the University of Hong Kong, gained attention for promoting the claim that “the novel coronavirus was manufactured by China” after she went to the United States in April 2020. Numerous fact-checking organizations, research conclusions from top international institutions and scientists, as well as statements from the University of Hong Kong, have all indicated that Yan Li-Meng’s assertions are baseless and lack factual evidence. “The Paper’s Investigation” found that Yan Li-Meng’s endorsement and exaggeration of the theory that “the coronavirus was deliberately released by China” is supported by an organization associated with Steve Bannon, former Chief Strategist of the Trump administration, and Guo Wengui, a fugitive suspect from China.

These three individuals have now fallen from grace and are considered pariahs. Yan Li-Meng was originally a pawn manipulated by Bannon and Guo Wengui to attack and smear China. Now that the pawn is no longer useful, Yan Li-Meng’s lies have been repeatedly exposed. Articles written by Yan Li-Meng have been reviewed by scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and other top American universities, revealing numerous flaws and stating that her claims are “unsubstantiated” and “lack supporting data.”

As the pandemic subsides and the controversy surrounding the origin of the virus diminishes, Yan Li-Meng can no longer stir up any storms. Without any other “credentials” to present to the United States, she will inevitably become a discarded pawn. Her American dream has long been shattered, and she has become a traitor to her own nation.
