FBI Warns of Genetics Data Sharing With Chinese in California

A genetics company with close ties to the Chinese is reportedly sharing genetic data of Californians and Americans with the Chinese.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

The FBI says a genetics testing company with tens of millions of dollars in federal contracts is most likely providing Americans’ health data to China.

The agency told Los Angeles County officials last week it had obtained “very concerning information” about Fulgent Genetics, a California-based firm founded by Chinese-American billionaire Ming Hsieh. Los Angeles County sheriff Alex Villanueva said the FBI warned him and other county officials that Fulgent likely shares the health data it collects with the Chinese government.

U.S. officials have expressed concerns over state-sponsored harvesting of genetic data. China has collected DNA samples of Uyghurs, a repressed Muslim minority group, for surveillance purposes. The authoritarian regime is also building massive databases of genetic data from across the globe, which would give China an advantage in developing treatments for future pandemics.

Villanueva called for the county to cancel contracts with Fulgent to test county employees for COVID-19 and to keep track of their vaccination records. He did not say whether the FBI suspects Fulgent of proactively providing the data to China, or whether the company turns it over to comply with Chinese law.

The company said it is independent and doesn’t share data. It will be interesting to see who believes that.

Oh, I’m sure this Chinese-owned company didn’t share ANY GENETIC DATA with China . . . . . just as sure that Hunter Biden never did anything illegal or immoral.

We warned people about so much stuff in Obamacare and people wouldn’t listen. The federal government should NEVER be collecting the kind of data they are on citizens. Now I understand money was given (or may be given) to the federal government to create a national vaccine data base to track people and their vaccine status. Yes, RINOs supported this bill along with the democrats! What could possibly go wrong!

So they’re concerned that it’d “give China an advantage in developing treatments for future pandemics.”? How about concerns that China is trying to developed bioweapons that specifically target certain DNA groups?

Datasharing is common,the use of the internet, financial, medical, etc. However, one has to draw the line of the sand, with a government in China Let’s US take a firm stand..

There are any number of sinister reasons that China is interested in collecting this DNA. Perhaps to study a way for the next pandemic to affect others but not the Chinese?

Of course. No doubt whatsoever.They are just plugging it all into the project plan that they no doubt already have. Covid-1984 wu-flu was just the beginning.And this is all with full backing of the MSM, the DNC, the Republicunts, president Xiden and his rotten family, and of course the Anti-american big tech industry that is doing its best to ruin anything and everything associated with Americanism or freedom.

These Testing companies share their information with just about every other person in the scientific community who studies the same thing. To single out China is ridiculous just because China is the new main manufacturing hub just like the USA was when we were the cheap labor source.
