  What's more scary is the public opinion about this in China. When first reported on by state media "the People's Daily", being touted as a glorious historical breakthrough, netizens cheered with overwhelming joy and pride. Then came critical pieces, netizens appeared to calmed a bit, "Foreign masters displeased!", some started to worry about it, "What if the girls start to pollute the gene pool? It's horrifying." "It's outrageous and immoral, burn He and the girls to death!" "Sterilize them!" "This is an American conspiracy." "I'll be blunt here, the morons who oppose it, don't ever join the line when gene-optimizing treatments come out." "Human thought can't keep up with the advance of technology, it'd be a disaster." "Some people are always jealous of other country's tech, yet here they also don't want to be the first one."
