Jason Lee/Reuters China has been stealing data, including DNA files, to advance its economic, security, and foreign-policy goals, the US government says in a recent report. China's acquisition of healthcare data is ostensibly part of an effort to become the global leader in biotechnology and medicine. But that DNA data, which is like a biological ID, could allow China to target political opponents, foreign spies, and even its own citizens. In February, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) released an unclassified version of its report on Chinese intelligence efforts against US citizens. The report provides a scathing breakdown of how China has been stealing data, including DNA files, which are like a biological ID of your health data and medical background, to pursue its economic, security, and foreign-policy goals.
