So the question is what sort of controls are in place vs what sort of controls should be in place. It isn't Canada sending the samples, it's Canada not preventing them from being sent.

By all accounts all procedures were followed, beyond that apparently some intellectual property protections weren't.

China studies major viruses too. They are a party to the research. That part isn't so insidious.
