A couple days earlier, Breitbart previewed the [...]]]> There’s been interesting media activity over the last few days about Red China’s interest in human DNA across the globe. On Sunday, CBS’ Sixty Minutes dedicated two segments to the subject: China’s push to control Americans’ health care future and Companies and foreign countries vying for your DNA.

A couple days earlier, Breitbart previewed the programming: Report: ‘Huawei of Genomics’ Tried to Use Coronavirus Tests to Collect U.S. DNA Data, which noted:

[Bill] Evanina and other security experts warned specifically about the danger that if China can collect tremendous amounts of medical data about Americans, including their DNA, it could be able to monopolize the production of diagnostic equipment and medicines needed to treat them, gaining increasing amounts of leverage over the U.S. population, its government, and American industry. . .

The Chinese government is reportedly frantic to collect DNA from its own citizens, without giving any reasonable explanation for why it needs such extensive data.

Don’t we already know that allowing unfriendly Red China to produce medical supplies and pharmaceuticals for American use is a really bad idea because it endangers the health and safety of citizens? What’s new now?

In the current case, there has been a fair amount of media attention paid to a somewhat vague threat. Perhaps the press is holding back so it won’t be accused of anti-Chinese racism.

China expert Gordon Chang has been more specific about what Beijing might be cooking up. At around 4 minutes into the video below, Chang explained on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures what might be transpiring behind the curtain:

MARIA BARTIROMO: And you said that the most important thing to focus on is the gene editing — they’re making their military superhuman.

GORDON CHANG: Yes, well they’re talking about a new type of biological warfare of specific ethnic genetic attacks which means that the next disease from China could leave the Chinese immune, but affect only us and that means it could cripple societies around the world. So we’ve got to be concerned about the next disease, and Biden isn’t even challenging China on covid-19, so we’ve got to worry about where we’re going to be on the next pathogen.

During a December interview, Chang similarly opined, “China is probably trying to develop diseases that target not just everybody, but target only certain ethnic or racial groups.”

Whether the Wuhan virus was an accident or purpose-built, the world pandemic has worked out quite well for Red China — America has suffered a serious recession and President Trump was apparently defeated in a rather haphazard election. So why wouldn’t China cook up more of the same in the future, as Gordon Chang suggests? The next pathogen need not kill millions to cripple the nation, it just needs to sicken many of the people and upset the normal functioning of the economy.

But the next communicable disease [...]]]> As the coronavirus spreads around the world, we should notice how the openness of travel has been facilitated the spread of the illness. Borders are our friends when contagion is on the loose — even though the current panic is largely an overblown media concoction, according to Dr. Drew Pinsky.

But the next communicable disease may be more deadly, so returning to a more orderly, borderly world would be a good idea. President Trump’s shutdown of foreigner travel from Red China to the US was definitely the right move to block the coronavirus entry here, although he was accused of xenophobia for protecting the American people at the time.

China watcher Gordon Chang agreed with Gregg Jarrett that border restrictions are a good idea during an interview on Fox Business last week:

GREGG JARRETT: Do more countries need to start closing their borders?

GORDON CHANG: I think so. You know, President Trump at the end of January imposed those travel restrictions on China and the quarantine, and that’s the only reason why we do not have an emergency today. That’s not to say it won’t spread in the US because it is, but at least we’ve bought some time. And I think we can do the same thing with some other countries, preventing some travelers from coming here. That will help us a lot.

One memorable example of overpopulation was the government’s reallocation of Beijing-area water for the 2008 Summer Olympics [...]]]> Introduced in 1979, China’s one-child policy was seen abroad as an overreach of communist government controlling the people, even though that nation has basic resource problems that should have brought environmental limits more gently into the public conversation.

One memorable example of overpopulation was the government’s reallocation of Beijing-area water for the 2008 Summer Olympics from agriculture and general use to the sports events and guests — since nothing screams “third world” like insufficient water for a big international celebration.

Beijing is known for its polluted air, but water supply may be a more pressing environmental problem.

Yet shrinking demographics may have persuaded Beijing to not only trash the one-child policy but to mandate two-kid families for economic reasons — it’s being seriously considered. Good luck with that.

Tucker Carlson recently analyzed the complicated China situation with expert Gordon Chang:

Spare Audio:

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, every day China edges closer to overtaking the United States as the world’s richest country, but just because they are getting stronger economically doesn’t mean the Chinese people are more free. They are not. China is still imprisoning its Muslim population in the west. Ordinary Chinese still lose access to travel or education if the government says they have poor social credit and now a hacker has discovered a bizarre Chinese database that evaluated millions of Chinese women on whether they were quote, “breed ready.”

Gordon Chang is a columnist and author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” can’t come too soon. He joins us tonight. Gordon, thanks very much for coming on. What does “breed-ready” mean, and why would the Chinese government be assessing that?

GORDON CHANG: Well, breed-ready means they are able to breed children. And the reason why is because China has declining demography.

You know, if you start to look at some of the statistics, they are really frightening. So for instance, last year, their birth rate fell about 12%. Perhaps to the lowest rate in the history of the People’s Republic going back to 1949.

And we are seeing that the workforce has already topped out. The population as a whole will top out soon. China’s officials are just in a panic.

CARLSON: So they are identifying women who are breed-ready but then what do they do with that information? Is there going to be a coercive breeding program in China?

CHANG: There very possibly could be because some Chinese officials are now talking about having a two-child policy which is not a maximum two children, but they are talking about requiring couples to have two children.

Now, of course, China is not there yet. But you can see where they are going largely because they have been taken by surprise by a collapsing demography. They shouldn’t have been. People have been warning Chinese officials about this for the last 15 years. But they have sort of sloughed off the warnings but, you know, a couple of years ago they really started to see the consequences of declining demography.

CARLSON: But I mean, I have been hearing from Democrats in this country who are very concerned about having any kids because of global warming, it sounds like the Chinese aren’t as concerned about global warming as we are.

CHANG: No, and largely because every social problem, every economic problem they have, almost all of them are made worse by declining demography and the Chinese leaders start to notice and that’s starting with their economy because, you know, they grew during what was called the demographic dividend years. That was expanding workforce. Now, the workforce since 2011 has started to get smaller and it’s gotten smaller fast.

CARLSON: So we have the same demographic problems here, obviously and so does Western Europe declining below replacement rate. We just import new people from the developing world. Has it occurred to the Chinese to do that?

CHANG: No, you know, the Chinese don’t want to do that because they have a system and then basically, it’s based on racial superiority where they do view the rest of the world in inferior terms.

And you know, Tucker, on demography, within maybe three years, for the first time in at least 300 years, maybe all of recorded history, China is not going to be the world’s most populous society.

The world’s most populous society will be India and the Chinese both disdain the Indians because of this racial superiority view but also, they fear India. So people are concerned that China is seeing a closing window of opportunity and will lash out on that Himalayan border.

CARLSON: So, very quick, you just said something that almost nobody ever says which is that China may be the most racist country in the world, maybe after North Korea, but certainly, it is right up there.

The country is based on racial superiority and yet liberals in this country suck up to China constantly. Why does no one ever point that out?

CHANG: You know, that, to me, is a mystery because this nation of Han superiority is bred into the Chinese political system and you see it, for instance, they put on a skit on the China Central Television’s program, 900 million people saw it that depicted Africans as primates and it is just incredible, Tucker.

CARLSON: It’s unbelievable. But Jerry Brown is happy to call them wonderful, and so is Dianne Feinstein. Unbelievable. Gordon Chang, it is great to see you. I hope we will see you again soon, thanks.
