The Biosecure Act in the US: China, WUXI, and the threat of genetic data

A new law in the US prohibits companies with government funding from doing business with Chinese genetic sequencing companies like WUXI, due to concerns about data being used for biological purposes.

Hey friends -

Did you notice that last Friday was actually - "Friday the 13th"? ☄️

So sit comfortably around the campfire and we'll tell you a scary (but completely true) story that is currently happening in China and greatly worries the US and the West! 🔥

Think to yourselves - what kind of powerful threat must present itself now, for the Democrats and Republicans to pass an urgent law together, as one, regarding this threat, right now - at the height of the ugly smear campaign between them (?) 👻

Well - last week, the Biosecure bill passed the American legislative hurdles in complete harmony and full agreement of both Democrats and Republicans! - 🇺🇸

🔥 A little background on the urgent bill: 🔥

Two giant Chinese companies offer "genetic sequencing" for a fee to anyone willing to pay for it - all over the world. 💵 (Including North Korea, Iran, Russia - and others)

Over the past few years, these two companies have built a huge genetic sequencing database containing data from tens of millions of people in the West (yes, including Israel - and the US). ☝️

The Chinese government, it turns out - eagerly consumes this data directly from the Chinese companies that tempt you and the West to buy many goods from them at a tenth of the price. 🇨🇳 (Heard of Temu and others? - When you get a product at a tempting discount from China - it turns out - you are the product! 🤌)

This caused Americans to have a fatal panic attack! 🔴

For 2 reasons - the small reason - minor competitive reasons, but let's dive into the bigger reason - the one that sent Americans into a panic - and rightly so. 👻

The reason - that might worry me - and you too:

Imagine - that by order, for a large payment - the Chinese government builds a smart biological bomb for Iran that only kills people with a genetic background characteristic of Jews...? 🤝

Wait... wait... wait... WTF, what did you say??? Should we start packing??? 👁

Well, as of this writing, it's not there yet - but from the Chinese government's perspective, you can be sure they are working with great determination and vigor on building a game-changing biological weapon with genetic targeting. ☝️

And beyond this apocalypse - there is the Chinese company - WUXI... - let's make a small introduction: ⬅️

This giant Chinese company conducts outsourced clinical trials for Western companies (and of course - the Chinese government). 🇨🇳

In fact, about 16% of clinical trials worldwide are performed by none other than WUXI! 💵

And what about the "confidential" results of these trials?

You guessed it - directly into the hands of the Chinese government - "everything stays in the family." 🇨🇳

The same government that doesn't shy away from stealing IP, intelligence, and anything else in its path - and recently announced a five-year plan to turn China into a biotechnology superpower - with an emphasis on the offensive front. 🤌

The new American law - which passed with much panic and discomfort from both sides of the parties - prohibits companies with government funding from doing business with genetic sequencing companies and WUXI. 🤝

This will, of course, slow down the determined Chinese a bit - but it will not stop them at all on their way to the desired goal. 😈

Meanwhile - in Israel, the establishment of a follow-up committee on the matter has already been announced, composed of various security officials, university research institutes, and senior figures from the biotech industry.

They will probably soon pass a similar, or stricter, law.

Just kidding...

Our heads are still in our ### - and we are busy with other problems,

And between us - what's the chance that a power like us will be surprised by a sudden attack.....? 🇮🇱
