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

Be a shame if the master race of soldiers executed a coup on Dear Leader.
Seems a little early for this. The Star Trek version of this didn’t happen for another 100 years or so.
Master Race? Where have I heard that before? /rhetorical question
The communist have always done this sort of thing. The East Germans come to mind.
No one would DARE call the Chinese Government racist, now would they?
Brought to you by CRISPR! The makers of COVID-19!
Will they be short or tall? Would make a difference!
The Chinese have been watching too many of these “Marvel Universe” movies and TV Series, and reading way too many of their “graphic novels”.
“Wanda Vision” maybe? “Captain America”? “The
Avengers”?
How long before Democrats try to change their nationality and stretch their eyes?
Yeah, I bet the United Nations has already condemned Red China.
I also bet that Noosecar won’t do any political posturing at Daytona today.
Lt. General McInery (Ret) said the Chinese already have biologically enhanced soldiers (heavily muscled).
The extent of the truth of this is unknown, but to the degree it’s true at all it’s a sign of decadence and directionlessness.
It will all come to nothing.
Well... Ok then...
Too late, but they are welcome to waste their time.
SloJoe&Ho are also creating a race of super soldiers: poofters, transgender hot messes, and soi bois. Would be interesting to see if their “army” could stop clutching its pearls long enough to fire a rifle against China’s genetically enhanced monsters.
