China conducted biological tests on its army with the aim of creating super soldiers with special capabilities, according to the director of the United States’ secret services, John Ratcliffe, author of an article published in the Wall Street Journal, where he warns that that the Asian country “currently represents the greatest threat to America”, advances The Guardian.
“The information is clear: Beijing wants to dominate the United States and the rest of the planet economically, militarily and technologically. Many of the main public initiatives and companies of Chinese prominence offer only a layer of camouflage for the activities of the Chinese Communist Party, “wrote the official in the article in question.
According to Ratcliffe, the US secret services “show that China has even conducted human tests on members of the People’s Liberation Army in order to develop soldiers with special biological capabilities,” he said, adding: “There are no ethical limits to the pursuit of power for Beijing ».
The official even admitted to having “transferred resources” to the information services budget, with the aim of focusing on China.
Many experts and officials from the US government agency have focused on Russia and counterterrorism efforts, according to Ratcliffe, “but now we must look closely at the facts ahead of us, which make it clear that China must be the main focus of security from now on, ”he said.
Ratcliffe’s term as director of national intelligence is expected to end in about six weeks, by the time Joe Biden takes office as president. Biden appointed Avril Haines, previously deputy director of the Central Information Agency, to the position.
