Genetics researchers still are unable to "breed super-soldiers," but Tom Cotton thinks China can.
Top Republican thinks China is going to harvest DNA of American Olympians to create super soldiers
The make-up Olympics are headed to Japan this year, but next year Beijing will have the winter Olympic games and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is very concerned that the Chinese government will harvest American Olympian DNA to create super soldiers.

"Second, the CCP also considers DNA collection a vital intelligence-gathering objective. As the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center recently noted, 'The PRC views bulk personal data, including health-care and genomic data, as a strategic commodity to be collected and used for its economic and national-security priorities.' The CCP has reportedly conducted tests to develop biologically-enhanced soldiers and intended to use DNA data to catapult Chinese biotechnology companies to global market dominance."

(70,518 posts)Are Chinese secret sex agents gonna give b.j.s and not swallow in order to "harvest" American "super DNA" @ the winter Olympics in 2022? Or if an American athlete gets hurt and goes to a Chinese hospital are they collect his or her blood for the super DNA?
Cotton must know this is just made up crap for the mouth breathing MAGA idiots.
