Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life

The Communist Party of China has been pursuing a decades-long quest to dominate the biotechnology industry in order to gain political control and supremacy abroad. Western scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and research labs have contributed to China's rapid growth in the biotech industry, leading to the development of macabre practices such as cloning and the creation of potential pathogens. Brandon J. Weichert proposes treaties to regulate biotechnology research and development and for Washington to slow the transfer of advanced biotechnology knowledge and funding to China. Unless an all-of-government approach is taken, another COVID-19-like pandemic could be at hand.

When COVID-19 emerged from Wuhan, China, under mysterious circumstances, the Communist Party of China attempted to conceal its existence for as long as possible. However, it has now become evident that there is more to COVID than what the authorities are willing to disclose. In his book "Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life," author Brandon J. Weichert delves into the decades-long pursuit by the Chinese Communists to dominate the biotechnology industry. This pursuit aims to control the fundamental building blocks of life on Earth, furthering their political control both domestically and internationally.

What is even more concerning is the fact that Western scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and research labs have played a significant role in China's rapid growth in the biotech industry. This contribution has been so substantial that China, rather than the United States, may emerge as the dominant force in the biotechnology sector. The Chinese leadership views biotechnology as a critical industry in their quest to become the world's dominant superpower by 2049.

In the realm of China's biotech sector, disturbing practices are being developed, ranging from ambitious cloning programs to the creation of potential pathogens that the Chinese military intends to employ in "specific genetic attacks" against Beijing's growing list of political adversaries. To address this threat, Weichert proposes the establishment of comprehensive treaties to regulate biotechnology research and development. He also calls for Washington to slow the transfer of advanced biotechnology knowledge and funding from the United States to China through measures such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

Unless an all-of-government and society approach is taken to curb irresponsible behavior in the biotechnology industry, the risks associated with its rapid growth will continue to mount. The consequences could be catastrophic, with potential implications for human health, national security, and global stability. It is imperative that governments, scientists, and industry stakeholders work together to establish robust regulations and protocols to ensure that biotechnology is developed and used in a responsible and ethical manner.
