Genomic Surveillance: Inside China's DNA Dragnet
The Chinese Government is building the world’s largest police-run DNA database in close cooperation
with key industry partners across the globe. Yet, unlike the managers of other forensic databases,
Chinese authorities are deliberately enrolling tens of millions of people who have no history of serious
criminal activity. Those individuals (including preschool-age children) have no control over how their
samples are collected, stored and used. Nor do they have a clear understanding of the potential
implications of DNA collection for them and their extended families.
