U.S. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday (Dec. 3), “U.S. intelligence suggests that China (the Communist Party) has even conducted human testing on Chinese soldiers in hopes of developing biologically enhanced capabilities. Beijing’s quest for force knows no moral or ethical boundaries.”
As the top U.S. intelligence official, Ratcliffe has access to more information than any other government official except the president.
“As director of national intelligence, I oversee the intelligence agencies, and my office produces presidential briefings that detail the threats facing the country. Let me convey one thing to the American people from this unique perspective: that China (the Communist Party of China) poses the greatest threat to America today, and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom around the world since World War II,” He wrote.
“The intelligence is clear: Beijing intends to dominate the United States and the rest of the world economically, militarily and technologically,” Ratcliffe said.
He said many of China’s major public initiatives and well-known companies are just a layer of camouflage for the activities of the Chinese Communist Party. In addition, China (CCP) steals the intellectual property of U.S. companies, copies technology, and then replaces them in the global marketplace.
“I call their economic espionage tactics ‘rob, copy and replace,'” Ratcliffe wrote.
He said the FBI routinely arrests Chinese citizens who steal U.S. research and development secrets. Chinese intellectual property theft is estimated to cost the U.S. up to $500 billion a year, the equivalent of $4,000 to $6,000 for every American household.
He added that the CCP has stolen sensitive U.S. defense technology “to further Xi Jinping’s ambitious plan to make China (the CCP) the most important military power in the world.”
Ratcliffe said that China should be the primary focus of future U.S. national security, that Washington should be prepared, and that U.S. leaders need to understand the threat and act to address it.
Communist Party Human Testing of Military Personnel to Develop Biological Soldiers
Ratcliffe mentions in the article, “U.S. intelligence indicates that China (CCP) has even conducted human testing on CCP soldiers in hopes of developing biologically enhanced soldiers. Beijing’s pursuit of force has no moral or ethical boundaries.”
The news of the CCP’s development of biologically empowered soldiers, while alarming, is not without traces.
In a 2016 doctoral dissertation (“Evaluation and Study of Human Performance Enhancement Technologies”), the Chinese Academy of Military Science writes that CRISPR, a new technology for gene editing, is one of three major “human performance enhancement technologies” that could be used to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, suggesting that the CCP must “seize the initiative” due to the potentially disruptive value of human performance enhancement technologies as a game-changer for the rules of war.
Currently, the CCP is actively exploring three new areas of interdisciplinary biological technologies, one of which is human-computer collaboration.
One of the earliest public advocates of human-computer integration in China is Guo Jiwei, a professor at the Third Military Medical University of the Communist Party of China (CPC) who authored the book “War for Biological Rights”.
He said that to be successful on the battlefield in the future, the struggle to achieve “biological rights” should focus on the new battlefield of the “biological frontier.
In a narrow sense, the biological frontier refers to microbial information, such as genes, proteins and other ethnic characteristics, and population genetic resources; in a broader sense, it is microbial information that covers all resources in the life domain with national (regional) characteristics.
Guo Jiwei once said that modern biotechnology not only plays a driving role in the national economy, but also has great value in the military field: “Biotechnology locates the battlefield in the human body itself, targeting people, limited to people, and can attack parts or fractions of the human body to the precision of specific biological traits ……”.
Guo Jiwei, in his book “War for Sanitation,” suggests: “Biosensors or controllers can be implanted inside or outside the human body, enabling commanders to know the combatant’s battle position, health status, combat capabilities, emotional responses, and other information at all times. “
“If it becomes possible for military biotechnology to enhance and promote human capabilities, it could overcome the deficiencies in the warrior’s own physical intelligence and become an ‘all-around warrior,'” Guo added.
