China Is Collecting DNA From Tens of Millions of Men and Boys, Using U.S. Gear

From the article:

The campaign even involves schools. In one southern coastal town in China, young boys offered up their tiny fingers to a police officer with a needle. About 230 miles to the north, officers went from table to table taking blood from schoolboys while the girls watched quizzically.

Jiang Haolin, 31, gave a blood sample, too. He had no choice.

The authorities told Mr. Jiang, a computer engineer from a rural county in northern China, that “if blood wasn’t collected, we would be listed as a ‘black household,’” he said last year, and it would deprive him and his family of benefits like the right to travel and go to a hospital.

and, to keep opposition low:

The authorities have moved quietly. Mr. Dirks, co-author of the Australian paper, said nearly all of the collection was taking place in the countryside, where there was little understanding of the implications of the program.

Not to mention only collecting from males!

Not to be tinfoil hat, but this seems suspicious to me. We know that there are approximately 44 million more men than women in China, so they might be looking for some means of state control over these guys. Take a whole bunch of dudes who have zero chance of ever finding a partner (and who may feel they have nothing to lose or live for), add a generous helping of testosterone, and you have volatility. Many years ago in the Air Force, there was chatter about our then Cold War adversaries working on unconventional weapons, using recombinant DNA. That's the first thing I thought of, when I read this.

This is not because the CCP is sexist,Its because they're Orwellian.They would do this to women too if they felt like it.

I don’t think this is actually sexist, more like China doing an Orwell. Interesting how only males have this done to them though.
