A Chinese gene company selling prenatal tests around the world developed them in collaboration with the country's military and is using them to collect genetic data from millions of women for sweeping research on the traits of populations, a Reuters review of scientific papers and company statements found.
U.S. government advisors warned in March that a vast bank of genomic data that the company, BGI Group, is amassing and analysing with artificial intelligence could give China a path to economic and military advantage. As science pinpoints new links between genes and human traits, access to the biggest, most diverse set of human genomes is a strategic edge.
BGI has not said how many of the women took the test abroad, and said it only stores location data on women in mainland China.
DNA data collected from prenatal tests on women outside China has also been stored in China's government-funded gene database
For women overseas, BGI told Reuters it destroys samples and deletes paper records and electronic data after a maximum of five years.

This article is confusing. First it says
BGI has not said how many of the women took the test abroad, and said it only stores location data on women in mainland China.
But then it goes on to say
DNA data collected from prenatal tests on women outside China has also been stored in China's government-funded gene database
And
For women overseas, BGI told Reuters it destroys samples and deletes paper records and electronic data after a maximum of five years.
So if they only thing they don't store related to foreign women is location data, how do we know they are telling the truth. How do we know what data is from foreign women and what data is from Chinese women when location data is not stored?

Chinese company global gene harvesting data for the PLA
What in the Nazi Eugenics program is going on with the CCP?
Honestly it’s like watching some B movie rise of the Nazis parody, the CCP truly are psychotic
There is a video floating around online of PLA scientist talking about targeting certain genes and races with bio weapons from about 10 years ago. So this from Rueters is exceptionally alarming to read

Sounds crazy yet totally plausible.
