Rebuking Blinken’s Xinjiang DNA collection remarks, China reveals US genetic weapon plan citing WSJ

Phoenix TV: On May 9, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused China of collecting human genomic data against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang and Tibet as an additional form of control and surveillance. He also said that the US is concerned over this. What’s China’s comment? Wang Wenbin: These claims do not hold water and mean nothing except manufacturing sensational news items.  China is a country governed by law. The privacy of all Chinese citizens, regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, are protected by law.  The US widely collects and uses genomic information. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon has formulated R&D plans for hitting opponents with genetically engineered weapons. Those involved disclosed that the genomic data of Asian Chinese, European Aryans and Middle Eastern Arabs are all being collected by the US military. According to the website of Russia-based RT, the US Air Education and Training Command (AETC) once issued a tender seeking to acquire samples of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and synovial fluid from Russians. It’s pretty clear who exactly is using genomic information for secret purposes.  __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents. Nobody knows SHANGHAI better than us.
