Is China Developing Mind Control Weapons?
What China is doing on mind control and genetic manipulation, according to the United States. The article by Giuseppe Gagliano
The US government says China is developing "mind control weapons" as well as genetic manipulation projects to "increase human performance" and machine-brain connections similar to Elon Musk's Neuralink project. As a result of these findings, they banned trade with 33 organizations in the Asian country.
The information is published in the Financial Times , which anonymously quotes a senior US Commerce Department official. According to the paper, China is using these technologies for future military applications. In its official statement, the department states that the activities of these organizations "are contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States."
The new list of organizations released by the department includes the Chinese Military Academy of Medical Sciences and 11 associated laboratories. No American company can have any relationship with any of these identities unless special permission is obtained from the US government.
As The Register says, in 2018 the Chinese military released a report detailing the possible military uses of neuroscience as a weapon in a future war. Although that report aimed at improving the capabilities of its soldiers and attacking the minds of enemy soldiers, it did not mention anything specific about a possible mind control weapon.
The American report also offers nothing concrete. According to Commerce Secretary Gina M. Raimondo, “Scientific research on biotechnology and medical innovation can save lives. Unfortunately, [the Chinese government] is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and the repression of members of ethnic and religious minorities ”. The United States has its own brain control program called BrainSTORMS, which is supported by DARPA, the Pentagon's advanced technology development arm. But, logically, he does not want American industry to further accelerate the seemingly unstoppable advance of the Chinese.
The Chinese government does not stop researching advanced technologies for civil and military purposes. According to Nature , at this time, its researchers are the ones who publish the most in prestigious scientific journals in fields such as artificial intelligence, aeronautics, quantum computing, genetics and other disciplines vital to 21st century society. .
This does not mean that the United States is behind in everything. Its power in the semiconductor sector has not yet been surpassed by the Asian country, which continues to depend on companies like Intel, AMD or ARM (although it has a national plan in place to develop its processors and is not dependent on the United States at all before. of the end of the decade). But, according to the same American and international experts, China is already well ahead in key areas such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence, not to mention critical military applications such as hypersonic weapons that we have faced on numerous occasions in Novaceno. China, those experts say, "has already won the war of the twenty-first century".
The dramatic aspect of this disclosure – at least for mere mortals – is not the fact that China is overtaking the United States, but the fact that the United States – a formally democratic country – is also pursuing programs that mirror those of a country that is considered totalitarian. In short, yet another demonstration of how in certain areas of reality the boundaries between democracy and authoritarian or totalitarian systems are very blurred. Not to mention non-existent.
