Chinese biotech companies appointed by HK Government for #COVID19 testing
Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced that three national-level testing facilities will be in charge of voluntary community testing in Hong Kong that will be launched in two weeks. The three facilities include #BGI Group, #KingMed and #Hybribio.
BGI Group was recently sanctioned by the US government for facilitating mandatory gene testing in Xinjiang, while the other two are closely related to the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government.
Hybribio is under the Chinese Academy of Science and Shanghai Atomic Nucleus Institute of the Shanghai local committee. KingMed set up a branch in Hong Kong in 2014, while its parent company Guangzhou KingMed Diagnostics is managed by CCP committee members. Its major shareholder Liang Yaoming is also the Secretary of Party Committee. Liang stated in a previous interview that KingMed will be responsible for the “testing” in Hong Kong.

HK Government appointed testing facility BGI accused of patent infringement; District councilor warns: samples collected could still be tested by China affiliated labs
Last month, the HKSAR government appointed 3 companies to take charge of a city-wide Coronavirus nucleic acid test in Hong Kong, of which, two of them (#KingMed and #Hybribio) are closely connected to the Chinese Communist Party, while the remaining one, BGI Group was recently sanctioned by the US government for facilitating mandatory gene tests in Xinjiang.
The 3 testing labs that the SAR government has procured their services are also China-affiliated, leaving the Hong Kong people no other option but to go against it.
To make matters worse, an international bio-tech company filed a complaint in the high court against BGI last Friday (August 14) for a patent infringement and demanded compensation.
Separately, Roy Tam Hoi-pong, Tsuen Wan District Councilor, posted an alert on his Facebook page in an attempt to warn residents against the #FreeCovidTest offered by the government.
Tam wrote on his Facebook that the Nasopharyngeal swab sampling kit distributed via HK based Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan came actually from one of the appointed testing lab, Sunrise Diagnostics Centre, which was established by BGI.
Tam pointed out that it is highly unsafe to assume that Nasopharyngeal samples collected via local hospital will remain in Hong Kong and be tested in Hong Kong.

Medical Practitioner: False Positive COVID-19 Cases by China-funded Lab are Medical Malpractice
A testing laboratory designated by Hong Kong government produced a series of false positive COVID-19 test results.
The lab involved is KingMed Diagnostics, a China-funded company which was designated by the authorities to undertake testing by the government’s mass screening project. The false positive cases involved four professional drivers.
Dr. David S.C. Hui, an expert adviser to the government and a professor of respiratory systems at the Chinese University medical school, suspected that these were the result of sample contamination at the lab.
The four drivers tested negative after being hospitalized, and no COVID-19 antibodies were detected in their bodies.
A registered medical lab technologist said that the incident constitutes medical malpractice. He pointed out that re-testing a sample would take only 1–2 days, yet the government had not made any announcement about the false positive, and only stated that they tested negative and were released. He questioned whether the government is trying to cover up this malpractice by the Chinese-funded testing lab.
