Surely, with the bioinformatics and nanorobotics being free from any usage for eugenics’ ends

(including the vaccination for microchipping purpose).
In short, more of initiative than of obedience (including more public control over data
hoovering). More effort to excellence (creation) than a struggle for preeminence (partition).
Leader of the world needs to offer more than just money and intimidation.
‘Do like your neighbor’ is a Biblical-sounding economic prophecy that the circles close to the
IMF love to tirelessly repeat. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a formidable national economic
7
prosperity, if the good neighborly relations are not built and maintained. Clearly, no global
leader has ever in history emerged from a shaky and distrustful neighborhood, or by offering a
little bit more of the same in lieu of an innovative technological advancement.
(Eg. many see Chinese 5G – besides the hazardous electrosmog of IoT that this technology
emits on Earth’s biota – as an illiberal innovation, which may end up servicing
8
authoritarianism, anywhere. And indeed, the AI deep learning inspired by biological neurons
(neural science) including its three methods: supervised, unsupervised and reinforced learning
can end up by being used for the diffusion of digital authoritarianism, predictive policing and
manufactured social governance based on the bonus-malus behavioral social credits. )

Ergo, it all starts from within, from at home; socio-economically and environmentally. Without
support from a home base (including that of Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet), there is no game

6 Confronting the long-term interests of stakeholders with the short-term interests of shareholders, the
multinational and national private sector from both sides of Atlantic exercises disproportionate power in the
technological share (infrastructure and data), but also by largely benefiting from massive public research funds
while in return paying dismal, negotiable tax if any at all. Far too often it comes with the nondisclosure agreements
and other unilaterally beneficial legal instruments as well as with the close ties between the private sector,
intelligence agencies and media. The same applies to a big Pharma which increasingly dictates a non-preventive
monofocal approach to medicine and research, and controls reporting about it – not always in the name of the
public health. Therefore, the above represents the largest underreported threat to our democracy and future societal
conduct.
Conclusively, Bioinformatics is a dual-use technology. It has huge weaponization potential for at home and
abroad. Consequently, this necessitates a comprehensive legislation which builds up on the Universal Charter and
Nuremberg Code and its effective enforcement, nationally and internationality.
7 Fully aware of it, China and Russia (in their historical and yet still ongoing rapprochement) are pushing on a
new Asian continental/regional security organisation. Building on the best legacy of comprehensive pan-European
security mechanism – that of the Vienna-based OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe),
these two are committing themselves to and inviting their neighbours to join with the CICBMA (Conference on
Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia), architecting the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty
Organisation) and the QCCM (Quadrilateral Cooperation and Coordination Mechanism). It is on a top of already
elaborate SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) and well-functioning economic FORAs – China-run AIIB
(Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank) and Russia-backed EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union). Hence, in a matter
of just two decades the central section of Eurasian continent became the most multilateralised – and therefore
stabile, region of the world. The collective one is far better than the bilateral or selective/Ad Hoc security
arrangement preferred by the US in the Asia-Pacific. Alliances are built on shared interested, solidified by
formulated principles and maintained on reliability and predictability – hence, are structural stabilisers.
8 Seems that China leads but is not alone with its much-criticised bonus-malus social credit system powered by
facial recognition technology. Human Rights monitory agencies (including the US Carnegie Endowment’s AI
Global Surveillance Index) report that practically each and every of the G-20 countries extensively uses the AI-
enabled surveillance appliances, including variety of facial recognition programs, aimed at social ‘predictability’.
Not to mention that such new technologies are particularly dangerous for weak democracies since many of their
digital tools are dual use technology.
9 Technology, its innovation and to it related norm-setting institutions are not a fancy item for round-tables’
discussions – it is a central element of contemporary global and regional geopolitical competition.
