According to an official with America’s counterintelligence unit, the generous offer by a biotech firm to run COVID tests was allegedly an attempt by Communist China to collect American DNA.

The Western Journal reports:

When the COVID-19 pandemic first arrived in the United States, “the largest biotech firm in the world wasted no time in offering to build and run COVID testing labs in Washington,” according to a CBS News article on Thursday.

Furthermore, the company — Chinese-owned “BGI Group,” formerly named the “Beijing Genomics Institute” — was reported to have “made the same offer to at least five other states, including New York and California.” […]

Regarding its “60 Minutes” interview with Director of the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center Bill Evanina, CBS reported that the proposed COVID-19 testing labs backed by a Chinese organization, “along with other COVID testing offers by BGI, so worried Bill Evanina, then the country’s top counterintelligence officer, that he authorized a rare public warning.”

The warning read: “Foreign powers can collect, store and exploit biometric information from COVID tests.”

Evanina reportedly issued the warning due to his concerns that China is attempting to obtain and control the world’s biodata.
