There’s a new threat that Americans need to be aware of — and it’s coming out of China.
China’s government is reportedly collecting the DNA of millions of people around the world, including Americans — and the goal of this DNA project is potentially deadly, warn experts.
The Chinese government wants to refine biological weapons which kill or irreparably harm selected nationalities, such as Japanese, Africans, or Germans.
This isn’t a fantasy out of a dime store science fiction novel. This is very real. It has experts alarmed. And the Chinese government is quietly devoting a lot of resources to their DNA collection project.
The reported plan is to analyze the DNA of all 1.4 billion of its own citizens. But the communist country is also storing the DNA of many other groups around the world, The Epoch Times reported.
Some branches of their DNA project are focusing on “troublesome” minorities in China, such as the Uyghurs and Kazakhs.
Chinese Muslims trapped in “re-education camps” have been forced to submit their DNA as well.
And the DNA of foreigners, like Americans, is also being sought by the communist government.
“The prospects are frightening,” wrote Chinese expert Steven Mosher, the president of the Population Research Institute and author of the bestselling “Bully of Asia: Why China’s Dream is the New Threat to World Order.”
He asked, “Could its vast store of genetic material be used to develop bioweapons?”
“The goal of the Chinese Communist Party is literally the abolition of privacy,” Mosher told The Horn News. “Everything you say, everywhere you go, everyone you associated with, down to the very strands of your DNA, will be controlled by the government. But its ambitions are global.”
“It sounds like science fiction, but DNA could easily be weaponized in a well-funded, state-sponsored program in a relatively short period of time,” Mosher explained. “What if a particular racial group –the Japanese for example– could be targeted with a disease vector to which the China and the rest of us were immune?”
Under communism, DNA collection and decoding (including retinal scans) is inexpensive and coerced. The leaked government document calls for completion of China’s male “project” by the end of this year.
“The Chinese Communist Party is pouring enormous resources into this effort,” Mosher said. “Genomics is one of the goals of the China’s ‘China 2025’ plan to dominate the hi-tech industries of the future.”
According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, “Genomics” are “technologies used to manipulate” DNA.
The Chinese DNA database is designed as tool for “controlling dissent,” according to the leaked government document. Its stated goal is also to “fight against crime,” but in communist China, a “crime” could be simply speaking against the state. The government’s blacklist since 2012 includes underground Christians, human rights advocates, internet bloggers, and dissidents.
Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi announced the various “projects” are for “prevention and control of social [upheavals].”
Mosher reports that children as young as kindergartners have had to give specimens. Others being forced to give saliva or blood samples include “those who have criticized the Party” on social media, those whom the government believes “endanger social stability,” and those “who have forgotten to carry their state identification card.”
An estimated 100 million people have had their DNA taken, with millions more added every month.
“The Chinese government is spending tens of billions on facial recognition software, electronic spying, and coercive DNA collection to create a database capable of tracking a person’s every move,” U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warns.
“This is the definition of a totalitarian system—one that exercises total control of your person, down to the very strands of your DNA,” Cotton warned.
