    That headline makes it sounds like the US wants to grind the Chinese populace up into genetic slop and use it to produce soylent green or something.

      Or the US want to use that data to create bioweapons to target specific peoples, sounds about right since they absorbed not only nazi scientists but also members of the infamous unit 731 post ww2

        I think that sort of dystopian sci-fi tech is completely unfeasible though. People just aren’t different enough genetically (and our immune systems aren’t different enough) that any attempt at creating a supervirus that infects only a single ethnic group just flat out wouldn’t work, and would just target people indiscriminately.
