Last year, the U.S. government learned a variety of Chinese companies were helping develop biotechnology that can potentially alter the brain function of a human being.
That led to 34 entities in China being placed on the Federal Register’s blacklist, since they were a threat to U.S. national security, according to a report in Sofrep.
Among the companies are the Institute of Radiation and Radiation Medicine, the Institute of Basic Medicine, the Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine, the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, the Institute of Toxicology and Pharmacology, the Institute of Medical Equipment, the Institute of Bioengineering, the Field Blood Transfusion Institute, the Institute of Disease Control and Prevention and the Military Veterinary Research Institute.
The report noted: “Other companies such as the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation 52nd Research Institute, Shaanxi Reactor Microelectronics Co. Ltd., and Shanghai AisinoChip Electronics Co., Ltd. were accused of supplying Chinese research institutions and the People’s Liberation Army with U.S.-origin items that were vital with developing these biotechnology weapons. Some items of U.S. origin were also used to support Iran’s missile and weapons programs. Similarly, companies from Turkey, Malaysia, and Georgia were also accused of supplying materials to Iran, which raises a security concern.”
Intelligence officials in America had also disclosed Beijing was pursuing an “intelligentization” of future warfare through such research.
