Moreover, Beijing may already be engineering "super soldiers." "U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted human testing on members of the People's Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with biologically enhanced capabilities," wrote then Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, in a December 3 Wall Street Journal op-ed titled "China Is National Security Threat No. 1."
It is not clear how far Chinese military researchers have gone. They are, however, advocating use of the CRISPR gene-editing tool to enhance human capabilities, and the Communist Party's Central Military Commission is "supporting research in human performance enhancement and 'new concept' biotechnology."
The People's Liberation Army has gone all-in on gene editing of humans. As leading analysts Elsa Kania and Wilson VornDick report, there are "striking parallels in themes repeated by a number of PLA scholars and scientists from influential institutions."
All these Chinese moves are meant to obtain "biological dominance." "There are," as Ratcliffe noted, "no ethical boundaries to Beijing's pursuit of power."
It is clear that the Communist Party is thinking about more than just soldiers. A Chinese researcher is also the first — and so far only — person to gene-edit human embryos that produced live births.
He Jiankui, while at Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, used the CRISPR-Cas9 tool to remove gene CCR5 to give twin girls, born in late 2018, immunity to HIV but perhaps also to enhance intelligence. The experiment evoked the eugenics program of the Third Reich to create a "master race."
Chinese scientists already are on the road of "gene-doping" to make future generations smarter and more innovative than those in countries refusing to embrace these controversial methods. "What you are witnessing in China," Weichert wrote, "is the convergence of advanced technology with cutting-edge bio-sciences, capable of fundamentally altering all life

“There are,” as Ratcliffe noted, “no ethical boundaries to Beijing’s pursuit of power.”
Nor to the democrat’s pursuit of power.
A generalization that seems fresh with every new sickening story that comes out: Any nation that bases its foundation upon a system without reverence for God will have no limits on its depravity.
Our Founding Fathers all expected the citizenry to have religious faith and ethics in order to make our American system work.
((2021? Forget about it.))
I was wondering if we’re going to be seeing a lot of blonde haired blue eyed Chinese.
I hear they’re marching to a faster pace.
“Don’t be stupid — be a smartee!
Come and join the Nazi Party!”
Too late because we will destroy ourselves first with the current administration.
Likely high up on their list is enhanced radiation resistance to enable them to colonize the moon and Mars. Thus, they can take the high ground militarily, keeping all others Earth bound and at their mercy
Good luck to them with creating a “master race”. If it’s anything else like their other knockoffs, it’ll be riddled with flaws due to corrupt parts suppliers and fail during the first use.
Steven Wright talked about this 20 years ago.
I wonder if they can solve their masturbation problem?
Indeed and wasn’t it recently that it was reported there is a “program” to make boys more manly? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55926248
May they all get the Wuhan flu.
Old Chinese proverb.

This research may lead to some interesting results, but only along with many regrettable mistakes.
Better left alone.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sounds like a great plan eh?
What about male length and girth?
The steroids, HGH and other chemical and hormonal stews they have concocted are primarily military in nature and intended to give a battlefield advantage.
Not much different than the islamists that pass out speed to their irregulars. Add in a little PCP and you better be a very good shot, the first time.
Now they move onto genetic tinkering. It won't be “perfected” before a huge number of souls find that they be sold into slavery.
You don’t need biologically engineered soldiers. You just need Democrats or the French in control, or folks like them, and you have it made.
