'Horrifying': China Engaged in Gene Editing to Make Soldiers 'Stronger, More Powerful'
By: Leah Barkoukis
This is more evidence that the People’s Republic of China is a clear and present danger to the existence of the United States of America. They are the worlds evil empire today. Winnie the Pooh Zi is an evil man who will do anything including spreading disease around the world in order to be in position to try to dominate the world. We and our democracy free market allies must be vigilant and on guard to face down this vile enemy.

'Horrifying': China Engaged in Gene Editing to Make Soldiers 'Stronger, More Powerful'

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Monday that no matter what politicians or corporations want to believe about China, “the intelligence doesn’t lie”—the country is America’s greatest threat.
“No other country has the capability of essentially taking away the American dream and a specific plan to do so,” he told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson. “My job is to warn the American people of threats and there is no greater threat than China to America.”
Ratcliffe’s appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” comes after publishing what Carlson called “an amazing piece” in The Wall Street Journal laying out the extent of China’s threat.
Beijing is involved in economic espionage to “rob, replicate and replace” U.S. companies in the global market; they’re engaged in the theft of U.S. defense technology; their tech firms “enable malicious activities”; and they direct influence operations in the U.S. targeting members of Congress, Ratcliffe noted in the op-ed. Eerily, in seeking to make China the most formidable military power in the world, China has conducted “human testing on members of the People’s Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with biologically enhanced capabilities.”
Carlson said he found the most “jarring” part of the op-ed to be Ratcliffe’s description of the “massive ramp-up of the Chinese military” which isn’t necessarily for “defensive purposes.” The host wondered what Ratcliffe believes is their goal.
“To dominate militarily, technologically, and economically,” he replied, noting that China already has the world’s largest Navy and overall has a 2 million-strong military force.
“They want them to be the largest and they also want them to be the strongest," he said, "which is why they’re engaged in…gene editing, literally trying to alter the DNA, experimenting on DNA, to make soldiers, sailors, and airmen stronger and more powerful.”
“That’s horrifying,” Carlson responded.
While Ratcliffe did not say whether he believed China's preparing for a physical confrontation with the U.S. in the near future, he did say Beijing is counting on Washington not really responding until China supplants America as the world’s hegemon.

Concentration camps, slave labor, gene manipulation. The ccp is nazism brought to the 21st century.
More like Red Scare paranoia brought to the 21st century.
Sure... concentration camps and human slavery aren't worth being concerned about.
But if someone says amen in public, that's something to obsess over and over over and over about.
as long as that someone can handle hearing me say gfy thumper, we're good ...
Is China trying to throw American citizens into concentration camps or slavery?
Non sequitur. That has nothing to do with anything I said.
Is China trying to throw American citizens into concentration camps or slavery?
Oh.. so slavery and concentration camps are fine with you, as long as Americans aren't enslaved.
By that logic, Americans had no right getting upset about the Holocaust. Germany only murdered Jews, right? Not worth talking about, for you.
Maybe you should get some religion to develop some empathy.
Whoops! I mentioned religion without attacking it. So go ahead and ignore slavery and concentration camps and freak out about a mention of religion. Actual slavery is nothing compared to the real danger of mentioning religion, right?
I see you dodged the question and make presumptions too.
Based on your post, logic seems to clearly elude you!
You're attempt to make things person is quite obvious. I'm not the topic.
See last 2 statements!
And now you're on to childish nonsense!
Your opinion means very little to me, especially since it is wrong.
The standard Pee Wee Herman response.
OK, if you count every boat, yes. This might be true (although check with North Korea). But not all ships are created equal, ya know?
I'm pretty sure the US still wins on sheer tonnage, not to mention capability and global operations.
China only has 2 operational aircraft carriers, the first of which was an unfinished Soviet carrier from the 1990's. The US clearly has a naval advantage. China's military strength primarily lies in their standing army. So engaging in ground combat with infantry troops us probably a bad idea.
The Chinese were going to build a third and fourth carrier but decided that it was a waste of assets. Their huge investment in submarines, missile arsenal, and air force is impressive to say the least.
Gordy, the Chinese have been cutting the number of ground troops for the past 5 years and moving to a leaner quicker, and more deadly force.
Here is a link to an excellent paper by the DoD on Chinese military. It's quite long but will give you a good look at the Chinese military, goals, weapon systems etc.
Patrol craft are fast and agile. But they lack significant range, armor and armaments. They probably wouldn't pose much threat to a capital ship like a carrier.
Regional navies might have a problem with them, as they are not very significant in comparison. But I highly doubt the US Navy would. The exception being if the US Navy attempted sending in landing craft.
I think that you're misunderstanding the scope and mission of the current Chinese navy, Gordy. Currently, it isn't meant to engage the US on the open seas, although it's heading in that direction, it's built to control the seas surrounding it which it has accomplished.
Never underestimate your opponent.
I don't see the US engaging in any military conflict with China. At most, we'll see a military show of force. Nations "flexing their muscles," as it were.
I'm not underestimating anyone. China's military makes for a formidable defense, not for a projection of power. In terms of football, the US is a team with a strong offense and China is the team with a strong Defense.
