Using dna data for individual identity or for targeted advertising, as denied by 23andme org, is not the concern. Chinese labs are buying all such data they can, and the concern is that they may learn how to create elements (like contagious viruses) that target certain groups. Such an effort would not care about individuals or about any commercial purpose, only care about groups like all of certain descent or of certain race or sex or age or intellect levels or other targeted groups. Those chemical elements could be introduced into food or water or air streams etc and only the targeted dna groups would be affected in whatever nefarious way lab developers worked out. That’s a MUCH bigger concern and is believed by some to be the intent. Btw... China will not share their own population’s dna data with others. It all seems like bloody unlikely fiction, just as much of today's other insanities did. Till recently.

Aren’t these fun times? Well, interesting times, anyway.

As any historian will tell you, generations of Jews, like generations of any people, leave historical traces behind them. … Predictably, archaeologic evidence about the widespread existence of Jews in Khazaria is almost nonexistent. …
