Strider Technologies published a report identifying over 800 biotechnology companies in the People's Republic of China (PRC) with connections to military and security services. This report aligns with the BIOSECURE Act, enacted in December 2025, which restricts U.S. federal procurement from firms deemed as 'biotechnology companies of concern.' Among the identified firms, over 350 are suppliers to the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and more than 200 are their subsidiaries. The report also highlights collaborations between these companies and PRC military or intelligence organizations, including joint research and funding activities. Notable firms mentioned include BGI Group, which operates the China National GeneBank Database, and ANNGEEN Technologies, which has worked with the Ministry of Public Security. The findings emphasize the potential risks these companies pose to sensitive genomic data and national security.
