China forbade sharing covid-19's genome. When a Chinese scientist published it his lab was shut down the next day. >The Chinese government had prohibited labs from publishing information about the new coronavirus, though Zhang later said he did not know about the prohibition. The next day, the Shanghai Health Commission ordered Zhang's laboratory to close temporarily for "rectification". While some media reports argued that the closure was retaliation for Zhang's decision to publish the genome, Zhang disputed this, saying that officials were right to have the lab improve its biosafety protocols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Yongzhen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Yongzhen
