U.S. Biopharmaceutical Companies Conducted Clinical Trials Alongside Chinese Military, Congressional Committee Says
By Danielle
According to a letter from a House committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. biopharmaceutical companies are conducting clinical trials alongside the Chinese military.
“Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party requested information from the FDA about the alarming practice of U.S. biopharmaceutical companies conducting clinical trials alongside the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and in Xinjiang, where the CCP is engaged in genocide of the Uyghur people,” a press release from the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party read.
“Reps. Neal Dunn, M.D. (R-FL) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) joined the inquiry, in which the lawmakers raised serious concerns that the PLA is co-opting sensitive intellectual property through these clinical trials and questioned the ethics of conducting these trials in Xinjiang,” it continued.
“Publicly available information on the FDA’s website, ‘clinicaltrials.gov’, reveals that major U.S. biopharmaceutical companies have conducted hundreds of clinical trials alongside a PLA entity over the last 10 years. In addition to work with the PLA, the lawmakers identified U.S. companies conducting clinical trials in Xinjiang. The CCP forces ethnic minorities in Xinjiang to participate in gruesome medical procedures, which likely overlap with FDA-approved research,” it added.
