These companies include China's BGI Group and America's Thermo Fisher Company.

The MPs and MLAs involved in the 'Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China' have also demanded the government of their respective countries investigate these companies. These companies provide the technology needed to collect DNA to the Chinese government. With this, the Chinese government monitors the biometrics of minorities. Thermo Fisher used to provide DNA profiling kits to agencies in China.
China collects the DNA of one-third of Tibetans
According to a Human Rights Watch report, in June 2016, China began collecting the DNA of people in Tibet. So far the DNA of one-third of the people of Tibet has been collected. Due to this, people's right to privacy and human rights are being violated. These people are already facing strict surveillance and exploitation from China.
