I would like to learn more about The Epoch Times, FLG and their ties with right-wing groups in the US such as QAnon. FLG and the CCP are enemies, but lately I have seen Epoch Times ads everywhere, including on The Hill's homepage. Also, the Fact Matters channel on YouTube has 435k+ followers after coming out of nowhere, putting out stories like how Mike Pence could change electors on Jan. 6, a lie which was supported by Trump, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and Rudy Giuliani. It is very plain that much of the content was read and followed by the demonstrators who broke into the US Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.

However, it is very hard to get information on The Epoch Times headquarters in Atlanta, and their newsroom is not public. Some writers for them said that they did not even know that their stories were published. It was founded in 2000 by FLG follower John Tang, along with NDTV, which is also popular with QAnon followers. It is not hard to see that this will be a major communications platform for the anti-Biden opposition after his inauguration, and will also likely oppose his China policy if it includes any de-escalation of US tensions with the PRC. I would expect Peter Navarro, Robert Lighthizer and maybe Matthew Pottinger would use it as a platform to continue their anti-PRC messaging during the Biden administration.

Sinovac needs to fire their PR department. Gross incompetence is the only way to describe this mess.
