The Chinese government may have stolen personal data from 80% of American adults, according to a “60 Minutes” report.
Bill Evanina, former director of the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center, on Sunday appeared on CBS’ 60 Minutes when he warned that Beijing is attempting to collect and exploit Americans’ health care information, including their DNA.
According to the intelligence official, BGI Group — the world’s largest biotech firm — approached Washington and five other states with offers to build and run state-of-the-art coronavirus testing labs. The Chinese firm also promised to “provide technical expertise, high throughput sequences” and “make additional donations” to the states.
The offer raised suspicions, prompting Evanina to issue warnings to the states against taking up BGI Group’s proposal.
“Foreign powers can collect, store and exploit biometric information from covid tests,” the advisory read. “Knowing that BGI is a Chinese company, do we understand where that data’s going?”
Evanina also claimed that China used “less-than-honorable” methods to steal data from foreign countries, including hacking health care companies and technology — such as smart homes, sensors and 5G networks—in the U.S. to collect Americans’ personal data.
“Current estimates are that 80% of American adults have had all of their personally identifiable information stolen by the Communist Party of China,” he said.
The information collected from various technology, when combined with a person’s biodata, can be used to bypass doctors and help Chinese companies create a monopoly over treatments and medicine that could improve a person’s health.

That is a FACT.
China OWNS the Biden CRIME Family!!!
Joseph Stolen
Probably a low estimate.
After WWII Germany was punished with similar data gathering as a loser of the war, and after WWi germany was forced to surrender patents as the loser.
You know who has won the war? China.
Gee, sound like the kind of people that can create a virus or rig an election.
If a political threat arises, cloned DNA evidence can be planted to frame them.....
So, in other words China has about half as much information on us as Google does.
All this effort... Does this mean our 'public servants' in DC haven't figured out a way to sell China the information they want?
Google does not have nukes, or a rapidly growing military.
Perhaps Google is China?
Don't bet on that.
(I'm not sure if I am being facetious or not.)
Future DEA Chief right there.
Why would Beijing pay for anything that the dems will gleefully hand over gratis?
I prefer to give no information and pay cash for things, but Eheb I have to, I constantly provide information that is either from at law, incomplete, or misleading.
Doesn’t matter where or what.
I am so pissed that I had to have a Covid test before my hip surgery. DNA collection, plain and simple.
Same difference.
Are you sure about that.?
China needs this information to determine what actions to take against Americans. I suspect roughly 10 million of us will soon have to deal with ‘re-education’ and if we cannot (or will not) make a strong-enough case that we support the CCP, they’ll be through with us.
