BGI has sold millions of COVID-19 test kits outside China since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pandemic
BGI Group, the world s largest genomics company, has worked with China s military on research that ranges from mass testing for respiratory pathogens to brain science, a Reuters review of research, patent filings and other documents has found.
The review, of more than 40 publicly available documents and research papers in Chinese and English, shows BGI s links to the People s Liberation Army (PLA) include research with China s top military supercomputing experts. The extent of those links has not previously been reported.
China s BGI Sold Millions of Covid Test Kits Globally; Report Says it Has Deep Ties With Chinese Military
Intelligence officials in the US issued warnings not to share health data with BGI as there is suspicion that the Chinese are trying to collect DNA data.
By
Chinese genome sequencing company BGI Group, which was previously known as the Beijing Genomics Institute, has sold millions of COVID-19 test kits outside mainland China, including the US, Europe and Australia. But according to a newly published report, it was found that the Shenzhen-based firm has deep ties to the People s Liberation Army (PLA) and that became a concern of the US intelligence officials.
Corporate mediaâs leaked Chinese documents confirm China didnât hide Covid-19
It is important for American journalists to combat these misperceptions, so that the U.S. can learn from Chinaâs response on how to better deal with the current crisis.
CNN, the
New York Times and
ProPublica claimed to be leaked Chinese documents. Although these reports implied that China was responsible for how bad the pandemic has been because of its downplaying of numbers and censoring of critical information, these narratives are themselves misleading in several ways.
CNN (11/30/20) released âThe Wuhan Filesâ in late November, announcing âa string of revelations contained within 117 pages of leaked documents from the Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention.â According to

As an elementary type of collective excitation, plasmon has been found to dominate the optical properties of metals. The collective behavior of electrons in plasmons reflects the important difference between condensed matter and molecule-like ones. It is of great significance to study the evolution of plasmonic response and find out the boundary.
Controversy exists on such interesting questions as the division between the nanoparticle and molecules, and the physics of mesoscopic and microscopic plasmonic evolution. A unified understanding covering the small and large size limit, namely macro / meso / micro scales with sufficiently atomic precision is thus required. Clusters, as the transition from atomic molecules to condensed matter, are the ideal candidate for studying the evolution of plasmons.
