The US can just declare extraterritorial jurisdiction. We do it for bioweapons. Uncle Sam doesn’t need an invite.
IIRC one of the FBI guys who investigated anthrax was like “yeah, it’s pretty obvious looking at what that lab was up to.”
Anyone can declare anything.
You think China just lets US law enforcement do investigations on their territory without their consent??
Didn't the anthrax from the scares post 9/11 trace back to Fort Detrick?
