China’s super soldier experiments ‘disturbing’: Ex-intelligence officer – where do we even begin with this? It’s a headline that instantly grabs your attention, isn’t it? The idea of genetically enhanced soldiers, tailored for peak performance, is straight out of a science fiction movie. And the fact that China is allegedly exploring this concept… well, it’s definitely unsettling.
