Biohacked: China’s Race to Control Life

When COVID-19 erupted from Wuhan, China under mysterious circumstances, the Communist Party of China covered up its existence for as long as possible. It is now apparent that there is more to COVID than what the authorities wish for us to know. Biohacked: Chinaโ€™s Race to Control Life details the decades-long pursuit by the Chinese Communists to dominate the biotechnology industryโ€”to control the very building blocks of life on Earthโ€”to further their political control at home and their supremacy abroad. 

More appalling than the egregious cover-up that Chinaโ€™s rulers engaged in with COVID-19 is the fact that Western scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and research labs have contributed to Chinaโ€™s rapid (and dangerous) growth in the biotech industryโ€”so much so that China, not the United States, may become the seat of the biotechnology industry. The Chinese leadership believes that biotechnology is a critical industry for the Communist Party to achieve its goal of becoming the worldโ€™s dominant superpower by 2049. In Chinaโ€™s biotech sector, truly macabre practices are being developed, from ambitious cloning programs to the creation of potential pathogens that Chinaโ€™s military plans to use in โ€œspecific genetic attacksโ€ against Beijingโ€™s growing list of political enemies.

To stop the threat, author Brandon J. Weichert proposes the worldโ€™s nations create a comprehensive set of treaties for regulating biotechnology research and development. Further, Weichert calls for Washington to slow the transfer of advanced biotechnology knowledge and funding from the United States to China using means like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). 

Unless an all-of-government (and society) approach is taken to curbing irresponsible biotech development in China, then anotherโ€”deadlierโ€”COVID-19-like pandemic could be at hand.

Review

โ€œTwo years after the outbreak of COVID-19, the world and the United States are only now understanding fully its origins and the motivations of the nationโ€”Communist Chinaโ€”from whence it was unleashed. In Biohacked, Brandon J. Weichert does a brilliant job of explaining the mindset of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese scientific community that appears unconstrained when it comes to the application of modern science to the war the CCP is waging against the world and its own people. Biohacked is a serious contribution to the scholarship that will be necessary if Americans are to remain a free people.โ€

 โ€”Brian T. Kennedy, president of The American Strategy Group and chairman of The Committee on the Present Danger: China

โ€œMillions killed, countries crippled, the world turned upside down. Itโ€™s the greatest crime of this century: the engineering of a virus in a Chinese lab and the spread of the pathogen to every corner of the planet. And more Chinese diseases are coming our way. In Biohacked: Chinaโ€™s Race to Control Life, Brandon Weichert writes with authority, precision, and clarity about the most important development of our times.โ€

โ€”Gordon G. Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China and The Great U.S.โ€“China Tech War
