#請立即Retweet比世界知道中國實驗室正大規模收集香港人DNA [City-wide testing by three China-based laboratories, with one allegedly involved in DNA collections of Uyghurs]

Hong Kong government has just announced a city-wide Covid19 testing. Without proper tendering procedures, Carrielam directly granted 150,000,000 HKD project to three mainland-based laboratories: Sunrise Diagnostic Centre, China Dragon Inspection and Certification and Prenetics.
One of the laboratories, Sunrise Diagnostic Centre, is owned by BGI that is subject to US’s sanction for involving in human rights crackdown in Xinjiang and collecting DNA data from Uyghurs.
China Dragon Inspection is state-run company, directly owned by China’s State‑owned Assets Supervision and Administration Communion. Local media Mingpao unveils that the company does not even have the certificate for laboratory testing.
Worse still, just like Huawei and Tikkok, these three-China based companies are subject to China’s National Intelligence Law in 2017 that requires "any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with state intelligence work according to law” (Art 7). It’s doubtful whether those Chinese labs can refuse to hand over their DNA data if Beijing insists on taking the data.
Not to mention that China has already stationed its secret police agency in Hong Kong under national security law. Technically instead of sending to China, DNA data could be directly handed over to the city’s newly established national security agency.
Also, there is a loophole in Hong Kong’s law on personal data, which fails to bar data transfer to China. When Hong Kong government stresses that the handling of DNA data would comply with the law, the reality turns out - it is still legal if they send the data to Beijing.
After all, given the blackbox procurement and legal loopholes, Beijing’s real agenda is building a DNA database in Hong Kong that could be used in future crackdowns on the city’s dissidents and Hong Kong protesters. Social Credit System and surveillance regime will be its next step.
