We need to start taking China’s tech threat seriously
The IndependentIf you are presented with a large, menacing, and at times seemingly undetectable danger, it might be assumed that you would take steps to protect yourself from said danger. The Intelligence and Security Committee warned about China’s “whole-of-state” approach: co-opting state institutions, companies, and citizens that, whilst difficult to detect, are contrary to our values. In response, the government said there is “a long way to go” towards a China strategy “which is forward thinking, joined up and utilises a ‘whole-of-government’ approach”. China’s biggest genomics company, BGI Group, and its main affiliate MGI Tech, are Beijing’s “national champions” – joining the likes of Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent. In 2021, the US National Security Commission on AI warned “BGI Group may be serving… as a global collection mechanism for the Chinese government”.
