Chinese Super Soldier Experiment
Nation Involved: China
Time Period: 2020 to Present
In December of 2020, the U.S. Intelligence Agency reported that China has been conducting human testing on members of the People’s Liberation Army. The hope of these tests was to give these soldiers “biologically enhanced capabilities.” While people might be getting flashbacks to the Captain America movie or the Master Chief experiments from Halo, there has not been any notable testing success that can give people enhanced abilities. That would never stop the Chinese.
They have been known for being totally willing to sacrifice hundreds to thousands of people for even the most minor of progress. Yet we do know that DNA alteration can happen with things like CRISPR already making waves in that field. However, most stuff like that usually only helps when changed on a child or animal in its mother’s womb. China has been wanting to use biotechnology more on the battlefield, and this might be one way to do that. Yet most feel that humanoid AI would likely be a better use of time and effort, as it can be altered to no end where humans cannot be.
