The "china" leak has always been a red herring and hopefully people have noticed that the emphasis was always supposed to be gain of function research anyone can do anywhere. The finger pointing aspect is distracting when the real concern is the rapidly evolving underlying technology. The scientists disposition really doesn't matter.. it's not like physicists are responsible for all of the nuclear devices that have been detonated, thousands. Those (and these) scientist's owners will be deciding what their developments will ultimately be used for but in this I don't see that there are any entities capable of leveraging this next wave of "progress" that will be capable of amazing and horrific potentialities.
