Here is Thermo Fisher statement on ending sales of "our human identification technology in the Xinjiang region" .. i.e. as part of China DNA surveillance of an ethnic minority.
This statement is very weak both in its wording and the specific action (1/3)

(2/2) Thermo's sales in China well known. Reacting to scrutiny in a New York Times aritcle of this week. Summary here: technologyreview.com/the-download/6…
(3/3) I don't know that Thermo can take a broad stand against relationship profiling, including ethnic, since that is inherent to what DNA is, and West uses for same in some cases? I think there is a database somewhere of the DNA of "terrorists" and their family members.
