The United States of America government has sanctioned China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 affiliated research institutions for using ‘biotechnology’ that ‘controls brains to support the armed forces during war.
The U.S. blacklisted the Chinese institutes but did not reveal more about the weapons – however a pile of documents leaked in 2019 shows that China’s focus is on ‘paralysing and controlling the opponent’ by ‘attacking the enemy’s will to resist’ instead of destroying them.
The 2019 cache of documents was obtained and translated by Washington Times. They revealed that the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences and their affiliates are now on the ‘entry list’ which means that American firms cannot transfer or receive goods to them without first obtaining a license.
One U.S. official told the Financial Times that the technology that China is working on includes ‘genes editing, brain machine interfaces and human performance enhancement. Gina Raimondo U.S. Commercial Secretary, stated that there are concerns that China plans may use such weapons to control over its own citizens including Uighur Muslims – an ethnic minority in the country.
‘Unfortunately, the People’s Republic of China is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and its repression of members of ethnic and religious minority groups,’ she said.
‘We cannot allow US commodities, technologies and software that support medical science and bio-technical innovation to be diverted toward uses contrary to US national security.’
The U.S also blacklisted companies from China, for instance Georgia, Turkey and Malaysia, for possible diversion of US made items to the military of Iran- a US enemy. The Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences is also said to be involved in the creation of Covid-19 vaccine according to Trump administration.
Despite their involvement in development of Covid-19 vaccine, the U.S. administration is still worried about the connections between civilian and military research in China.

China is overworking, do we need this technology?
