Chinese pharma firm WuXi that makes life-saving cancer drugs accused of STEALING American's genetic information

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A major Chinese pharma firm is stealing Americans’ genetic information to build a massive worldwide database, lawmakers say.

WuXi AppTec, which has bases in Massachusetts, Delaware, and California devises molecules and tests them in the lab and in animals that US pharmaceutical companies base their medications on, some of which help treat cancer and cystic fibrosis among other serious health issues.

But the company, which has close ties with the Chinese Communist Party, has been found to have gleaned a mountain of Americans' genetic information via hacks and corporate mergers.

Last month, a congressional committee passed a bill to pressure health firms to decouple themselves from the company.

Ongoing investigations have shown that private genetic sequences via blood samples, DNA data, and individuals’ medical histories have landed in Chinese companies’ hands due to hacks and corporate mergers.

Sensitive data is believed to be gathered in China to develop medicines for its military, posing what lawmakers have called a major national security risk funded by US taxpayers.

#1 I don’t do those Ancestry type tests. If they want my DNA, I invite them to dumpster dive away.
