Chinese Military-Linked Firm Gathers American DNA, Provides COVID Tests

China is “developing the world’s largest bio database,” said Edward You, who is the U.S. national counterintelligence officer for Emerging and Disruptive Technologies. “Once they have access to your genetic data, it’s not something you can change like a pin code.”

Racing to dominate the bioeconomy, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is compiling a massive database of medical, health, and genetic information from people around the world, including Americans.

The CCP enlists the help of private companies to aid in gathering genetic data, which can be combined with top military supercomputing capabilities, to discover genetic weaknesses in a population. Bioweapons can then be developed, which prey on these weaknesses. As part of Beijing’s military-civil fusion policy, Chinese scientists, along with the military, have been conducting research in the areas of brain science, gene editing, and the creation of artificial genomes.

Similar research could be used to enhance the performance of Chinese soldiers. BGI Group, formerly Beijing Genomics Institute, is the leader of the CCP’s genome project, as well as one of the leading producers of COVID-19 tests. BGI also has ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), according to a Jan. 30 report by Reuters.

How long until China engineers deadly diseases that have minimal effect on Han Chinese?

The Han Chinese are not as genetically diverse as, let's say, European whites.

How long before we develop something that only affects them?

A very good question. Hopefully longer that it takes our researchers to engineer a deadly disease that ONLY affects Han chinese.

That’s assuming that Western Civilization or at least the USA has the will to survive. A big assumption these days.
