China ‘considering plans to genetically-modify soldiers to make army of Terminator-style troops’

CHINA may be planning to genetically-modify its soldiers for an army of Terminator-style super troops, a defence think tank has warned.

Experts at Rusi say GM soldiers could be faster, stronger and cleverer than their battlefield opponents and even feel no pain.

Their DNA could also be adapted to help them recover more quickly from injuries or give them superior hearing and night vision.

Rusi’s Professor John Louth said: “The threat is obvious and real. Chinese money could be stealing a march on western armed forces and that is deeply concerning.”

The warning comes after Chinese scientist He Jiankui said he used gene-editing technology to make GM babies.

“GM technology is proven with plants, it could absolutely be applied to the person,” Prof Louth added.

“In China, it is reasonable to assume that they are enhancing their battlefield soldiers on all these fronts.”

China jailed Dr Jiankui for “illegal medical practices” over his claims to have made three babies immune to HIV.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Taiwan were to develop a nuke!

rusi.org is as deep into the deep state as you can get, and filthy with neocons.

Oh please. The only thing the Chinese would do with this technology is to grow bigger schlongs. You know it’s true, they have a complex about it similar in intensity to blacks thinking whitey is keeping them down.

So who thinks for a nanosecond that China isn’t gene-splicing coronaviruses? And isn’t it odd that a guy a made three modified babies immune to HIV -— and it looks like an HIV snippet was gene-spliced into Covid-19? Coincidence???

China couldn't possible do that. Right?

Meet the SUPERDOGS: Chinese researchers reveal 'mutant' beagles genetically engineered to be extra muscular

Dogs have double the amount of muscle mass as a normal beagle. Researchers say they could be used for police work and hunting. Beagles named Hercules and Tiangou believed to be first gene-edited dogs

If true, then the Chinese are as stupid as that African country trotting out fake cyborgs in a military parade a few months back.

Didn’t Germany try that in the war, by pumping their frontline soldiers with speed? The stamina of the germans amazed the enemy, at least until they figured out they were all hopped up...

So what? They will still be meat. We’ll have ai drones that will whip them into submission.

Meat puppets is so 2040. Ai drones are 2060.

The US military used a lot of amphetamines in WW2 and Vietnam. Gulf War too, although I think their use is much more carefully controlled in recent times.

He looks like a character from Disney's movie "TWON".

Amphetamines are routinely used on long-flight missions by pilots I believe.

I think Hitler was on amphetamines too. Nazi grand design was to have superior race. I guess China will fail too if they do not wipe out the world with their human experiments first.
