China is developing brain control weapons that could be used to paralyze and control opponents instead of killing them, the US has alleged.
America has sanctioned China's Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 affiliated research institutes for using 'biotechnology' to support the armed forces including 'purported brain-control weaponry'.
The Commerce Department, which blacklisted the Chinese institutes, did not go into detail about the weapons - but a separate tranche of military documents penned in 2019 gives hints at what Beijing is trying to achieve.
Instead of 'destroying bodies', China should focus on 'paralyzing and controlling the opponent' by 'attacking the enemy's will to resist', the report says.
