[Edit: sorry for the noise, it’s an older article: march 2021. I first thought I should delete my post, but that’s no better solution…]
Here is an RT article (German edition) about DNA data mining and the Beijing Genomics Institute (present in “more than hundred countries and regions”).
RT provides a link to Reuters, explaining that BGI collaborates with the PLA. BGI signed also a “Memorandum of Understanding” with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since 2012 (Politico).
RT refers also to US-officials including NCSC director William Evanina suspecting BGI to be a Trojan Horse running genetic “Data-Mining”. (The article has more links, including a YT link which is … “not available”, at least for me).
