British media evil -stir -fried British and Chinese biological cooperation "risk", expert: "fear of Chinese" doubts!

[Special Reporter Zhou Zhuobin Global Times Reporter Ni Hao] The British "Observer" reported on the 20th that Chinese researchers can obtain the genetic data of the British through some medical and health research projects currently cooperated in the UK and China. "The DNA samples of up to 500,000 British citizens will fall into China, causing data to be abused. Experts interviewed by a reporter from the Global Times said on the 21st that they labeled China without any evidence to politicize the normal Chinese and English scientific cooperation, which actually reflects that some people in the UK cannot face the rise of China. The lack of perception of the objective and rational of Chinese science and technology, thereby having a "fear of Chinese" doubts.

The report quoted Adams, a professor of the Institute of Policy Research in the King's College of London, saying that the data sharing of the resource library was "problematic" and questioned how the resource library supervised the use of data. It is reported that due to the intensified "political and security tensions in China" in the West, the British "Biological Bank" currently stored with more than 500,000 DNA information needs to re -examine the risks of its British and Chinese biological cooperation projects, and be alert to the so -called "Chinese authorities intervention" , "Transfer British Citizen Gene Information to China."

According to reports, British "Biological Bank" is the largest information resource library of genes and environmental factors related to disease or prevention of diseases in the UK. Since 2012, the information library has been open to researchers around the world. Researchers pay 3,000 to 9,000 pounds to access the database to get the corresponding data. The British "Biological Bank" stated that the resource library was open to the outside world through "fair, transparent and non -discriminated" policies and shared data with researchers from more than 100 countries. Due to the anonymous processing of related biological information and strictly prohibiting the data of the data from re -identifying the individual, there are no signs that it is damaged by the privacy of the abuse or participants. A spokesman for the resource library also said that it is only the genetic data of DNA in the DNA, which does not involve related physical samples.

Zhao Junjie, a researcher at the European Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times reporter on the 21st that without any evidence and the British "biological bank" "rumor", the reports have set off the ridiculous ridiculous of some people in the UK. Zhao Junjie said that China and Britain have extensive room for cooperation in multiple fields, but the thinking of individual domestic people in the UK is affected by the opposition between China and the United States. It is not conducive to some normal scientific cooperation and business cooperation. The cooperation in the inside will also destroy the exchanges between the two countries in the field of science and technology.
