As an example, the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) used a loan from China Development Bank to acquire 128 HiSeq 2000 sequencers, as well as U.S. sequencing company Complete Genomics. In the process, BGI obtained access to a DNA database that contains the private genetic information of a large number of Americans.

…Biotechnology is a dual-use technology — meaning it can be used for both civilian and military purposes — thus creating a critical national security risk. Whole populations could be targeted. Read more.
