Banned in the US, but presumably outsourced to wherever else the research funding flowed to?

  It was banned but the ban was lifted a few years ago by Trump.

      Both links you provided appear to be for the same article, just from two different sources. There is nothing in the article about Fauci "urging" anyone to lift the ban on gain of function research. He did defend the research being done in China and the ban was lifted by NIH in December 2017, though. Also, calling people who downvoted you "idiots" is not the road towards meaningful discussion.
