>So, you have cyber war, you have narrative war, then you have economic war. Something I've really never talked about publicly that we'll give you here on the show, is the one thing that they're (China) so good at is putting U.S. industry out of business. As you probably know, the generic drug business is almost 100% in China now. There are drugs that are absolutely mission critical drugs here like heparin for dialysis patients, and that's 100% made in China.
>They could just stop sending it to us, and we'd be in a real problem very quickly, but even worse than that is the people that are sequencing genomes here in the United States, let's say you go to 23andMe or you go to ancestry.com or you just want to pay to get your genome sequenced. There's a Chinese company called BGI that does the overwhelming majority of all the sequencing of U.S. genes. There are other Chinese companies that are all the backbones of any of the U.S. genomic sequencing companies. China has the genomic sequence of every single person that's been gene typed in the U.S., and they're developing bio weapons that only affect Caucasians, which is crazy.
>A genetic scientist that is a friend of mine, his name is David Mittelman, he works at a company called Othram, but for 25 years, he's been sequencing genomes. He's known in the business as one of the best in the world, and David has brand new equipment. He's been doing this his entire life, and he tells me that there is absolutely zero chance that someone can sequence a genome for less than 1,400 bucks or something like that … I don't know the exact number, but the Chinese company, BGI will sequence your genome for 1,200 bucks. That's how they got all the business. Because they want that information. They can undercut every single company in the U.S. because it's state driven. This is how they put our aluminum business out of business. This is how they went after our steel business…
>They subsidize businesses they want to take over, and they'll operate at an economic loss. We won't. We can't. So, we have to stop these things from happening.

>The Navy's top officer warned against using popular at-home ancestry DNA test kits this week, saying scientific advancements are making biological weapons more tailorable.
>Biological weapons that can target specific groups or individuals vulnerable to pathogens or other diseases are a growing national security concern, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said during a Tuesday speech on nuclear deterrence in Washington, D.C.
>"Be careful who you send your DNA to," Richardson said at the event, hosted by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. "There's a number of those companies where you can go and find out what your makeup is. That's a lot of information.

>The U.S. government is surreptitiously collecting the DNA of world leaders, and is reportedly protecting that of Barack Obama. Decoded, these genetic blueprints could provide compromising information. In the not-too-distant future, they may provide something more as well—the basis for the creation of personalized bioweapons that could take down a president and leave no trace.
