Nobody is unaware of China’s repression of Tibet, and the communist country is currently doing widespread DNA testing to compile a biological database of its citizens for monitoring. According to Tibet Press, a recent study by Human Rights Watch indicated that citizens of various cities and villages throughout Tibet, and specifically the so-called Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR), had had their DNA arbitrarily collected.
These advances show unequivocally that China is entering the bio-security phase of its oppressive and authoritarian policies, now that it has gained confidence in its technical surveillance.
The CCP has established Bio-security as an organization to manage the populace, with a focus on individuals living in the occupied areas of Tibet, East Turkistan, and Southern Mongolia.
Prior to now, China sterilized thousands of Uyghur Muslims using biological methods, with horrifying outcomes. Also demonstrating how widespread this effort is under the current administration is the recent mass DNA collecting push in Tibet, which Human Rights Watch reported as occurring in 14 different places across 7 prefectural-level districts.
Notably, with the 20th National People’s Congress rapidly approaching, it is clear that Beijing, and particularly President Xi Jinping, wants a successful gathering that will ultimately result in his election for an unheard-of third term as president, according to Tibet Press.
It is therefore abundantly clear that the primary objective of the recently disclosed mass DNA collection drive without the consent of Tibetans is to keep Tibetans occupied and engaged in order to prevent them from uniting with the millions of Chinese who continue to be dissatisfied with and resent the communist government for its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic with its zero-covid policy and protesting the regime.
Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, Tibet has been subject to Chinese occupation and repression.
However, one can see with their own eyes how, since the 7th Tibet Work Forum, which took place from August 29–30, 2020, the level of repression and oppression has significantly risen and is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate, according to Tibet Press.
The gathering of genetic material is not new in China, either, since the country’s ministry of public security manages the largest forensic DNA database in the world, which likely has more than 100 million profiles in it. Similar to what is done in western nations, this practise entails collecting samples from criminal suspects or crime victims.
However, beginning 2017, Beijing, led by Xi Jinping, has changed how this activity operates and started a drive to gather DNA from 10% of all Chinese men with the express aim of tracing a man’s male related.
Many activists condemned this action because they saw it as a way for those who were considered troublemakers to be threatened and punished by including his parents and family.
Beijing regularly used this kind of plan and strategy, especially in the occupied territories.
