I agree with your first sentence. China cannot be trusted. I grew up in late Communist Czechoslovakia, I have no illusions about totalitarian states. All the more reason why not leave the entire field of human genetics exclusively to them - imagine a future in which rich and influential people can get treatments for certain deadly diseases only in Shanghai and Beijing and China demands not only money, but allegiance for keeping them alive. As for your last sentence: this ship has sailed some twenty years ago. At the current stage, China can only seriously damage/destroy itself from within. Totalitarian states are weaker than they appear, though. It may very well happen.
